Soul To Keep - The Regiment

I’ve got 'em all convinced

Eternal life and holiness

Man, all that Bible nonsense

Forget that and follow me

See I know the true you y’all want to be

You want the brand new car

More money and a better paying job

How you gon' get that if you rely on God?

Is what you thinking

Fools confused bamboozled over clothes, shoes and jewels

Christian, Catholics and Jews

Even had 'em back when it all started

In the garden

With Eve and Adam your forefather

That’s the legacy you get to be a part of, see?

It’s either run with me or become a martyr

(The Prince and the power of the ending)

Drop a bug in their ear and I got 'em running scared

(Hope you prepared, say your prayers, jeah)

«Before I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep» — Ras Kass

(But the King like…)

I’m 'bout my father’s business

Ever since the start that’s the mission

Trying to be a fisher of men through soul winning

Sent down here in the land of corruption and sinning

What they after?

Money, cars, fame, women

I steady call the lost children, they don’t listen

Just not paying attention

But see that was the problem from the beginning

Yo, all I did was come and die for your redemption

And plead on behalf that souls be forgiven

The way y’all living man, you gotta be kidding

And you got the gumption to play the role of a victim?

This is truly sickening

Far beyond the boarders of religion

A faithless petition

Glory be to He for divine intervention

I’m so confused, like which do I choose?

Either way I can lose depending on the view

From one side I go on to preach good news

But on the other, I’m just so cool

Now should I keep on living

Not caring 'bout actions

Flawed at the only bring fatal attractions

Run by myself or move with faction?

Forwards or backwards?

I’m looking for answers

Try to remove the spiritual cancer

Hold myself to a higher standard

Forget about the glitz and the glamour

Or refrain from the fortune and the fame

Turn my back away out the game

And look to the King with my mind focused on one aim

Yeah

They say you can gain the whole world for your soul’s to change
