Da T.r.u.t.h. - Civilian lyrics

Hook 2X I'm a civilian My feet are planted I'm on this planet But cannot get too attached to this life 'Cause I'm a pilgrim And so I'm building Fulfilling the great commission My eyes are fixed on the Christ Verse 1 We on a roll Tonic told me to write from my soul And not to think about the reviews Or the albums I sold And so I did that Laid back, prayed, got my focus right Thought about what the culture needs Not just what the culture likes Thought about the youth of the church And got depressed like Man, they only want what they see Look at their appetites They only crave For what satisfies for the moment They can Ain Man, they don't want God They want 50 Cent They don't even want Christian rappers At least not if he spends Most of his time on stage Bragging about God and His ways They really want The gods of this age And so they're bored When they sit in church You see them slumped in their seats Simply ignoring the literature They want the counterfeit Like forging a signature Man, they don't care About the Lord and His worth Hook Verse 2 I get so tired Of reading men in the Bible Then coming up for air Looking around Sister girl Buying the next item Ya'll know we're in the age Where idleness is an idol Man, we need revival Amba**ador told me To meet him in the kitchen It And I ain I'm talking about What they Xboxâ, videos Girls paint their pretty toes You know the type That can Slaves to their cell phones Radios Or maybe over a friend Watching Ray Liotta on HBO My generation can Or sit calm They skip Psalms To go to the bedroom and watch sitcoms Now, I know That we exist in a tension I just wish that we would switch our affection Hook Verse 3 Ever since the advent Of the steam engine Man, it almost seems like Yahweh lost the redeemed's interest To iPods, Internet Our God's infinite Kids ain Parents don't get it yet And some of our pastors don't get it yet Man, they think it's enough If the kids are getting crunked So they keep throwing skate parties and concerts So, the kids know P. Diddy and Fonzworth But nothing about God's worth And that's a problem Houston Let's not confuse it The older scooping the younger up Hoping to produce a hunger For righteousness in their souls Discipleship is the goal I pray that the generation That likes to listen to Hov Would turn to the Lord Jesus Christ To lift up their souls Above the surface I pray we would know His worth And prefer the things of God Over what is bound to the earth Hook
