1st. Verse

Let me tell you how this track came to be,
I laid down reading Matthew chapter twenty three.
If you haven't read it, then you should stop this song,
and read it so you don't get this wrong.
Now it all seems to me to be hypocrisy,
am I modern day pharisee, I think possibly.
Why would God use me when I barely know the law,
show me mercy Father cause I never knew at all.
In that case, I should expect the worst.
No wounder the world keep rejecting the Church.
I mean why would you respect our turf,
if we don't comply and reflect on it first.
If this is what christianity really is,
then count me out cause I will never be apart of this.
Open your eyes, it's time to start changing it,
cause the last thing I wanna do is accepting it.



Chorus

I gotta practice what I preach.
It dosen't matter what I'm saying on these beats,
in the church or when I'm on the streets.
What is it good for if I don't practice what I preach.

I gotta practice what I preach.
It dosen't matter what I'm saying on these beats,
in the church or when I'm on the streets.
What is it good for if I don't practice what I preach.



2nd. Verse

It's a must, I gotta blow away this dust.
Let's change the course, no time to adjust.
Some might say, and it's no surprise to me.
"Hey, I ain't a Christian, so none of this applies to me."
Man, that's why I'd wish you were here from the start.
That's why I pray. "Lord please, soften up their hearts!"
Until then, beware of any false prophets.
Vicious wolves disguised as sheep, they look harmless.
Now don't be fooled by a sneaky brute.
First take a look and recognize them by their fruit.
It feels like I'm being deceived as I'm writing this.
Then I realized only faith brings forth righteousness.
Look I know I gotta to change how I live and behave.
Because without actions I might end up in the grave.
That's why I gotta start living it,
cause the last thing I wanna be is a hypocrite.



Chorus

I gotta practice what I preach.
It dosen't matter what I'm saying on these beats,
in the church or when I'm on the streets.
What is it good for if I don't practice what I preach.

I gotta practice what I preach.
It dosen't matter what I'm saying on these beats,
in the church or when I'm on the streets.
What is it good for if I don't practice what I preach.
