DJ Official - Statutes of Liberty lyrics

[Hook] These are the liberties y'all, some may call it the “gray area” But to me it's pretty plain, we go the way of love In light of the life and incarnation of Christ It's not a thing for me to die to my rights I like to call this the statutes of liberty It's avoided by those who lack in maturity They're fightin' for freedom but God's the opposition The liberties got the soldiers droppin' the mission But, will you keep denyin' the call Or keep fightin' wit' God, who's side are you on ‘Cause in light of the cross, if we desire the lost To see Christ in us all, we need to die to our wants [Verse 1] (It's liberatin' indeed) bein' a saint that's redeemed Seein' His traits when I read, leadin' to changes in me (With open eyes I behold) that the Most High became low Slowly He died for his foes, the Holy Messiah exposed (Bleedin' He hanged on a tree) in three he raised and was seen Defeatin' the grave in his sleep, it's freedom for they who believe (And now that we got it, we grow) and lay it aside when we're told Forsakin' our pride for the code, displayin' our God in the culture Let me explain what I meant, emancipation begins When we were saved from our sin, because our Savior was pinned That's when he died on the cross, crucifyin' the law So you and I could be called To identify in his loss (When your representin' His name) you ain't exempt from the pain But we benefit in his gain, because in the end we gon' reign (And we got some liberties now) it's not a sin to be stylish Cop some timbs for your child or drive a Benz or an Audi (And that ain't all of it bro) we ain't gotta follow the culture Obey the god's of or our old ways or be locked in a mold (Unless it's the image of Christ) who's message has given us life We wrestle to get in His light, and let him rebuild and ignite us So if he says let it go, will you severe to ropes Or think your head will explode, or be rebellious and hold Or if he takes it away, will you thank him you're saved And give praise to his name, or just behave like a baby [Hook] [Verse 2] (I know it's easier said) but I believe what I read And I wouldn't keep it from heads, in light of their need to be dead (I reference the flesh, it's a beast) and you'll never catch it asleep Or get its respect or retreat, there's never a breath of relief (And so when it gets to the junk) when the scriptures isn't as blunt We tend to defend what we want, and give our opinions the trump (But it's not as vague as you think) and you gotta pray when you read And honestly say that you need for God to reshape your belief And teach you to follow his steps, we got a problem with that I know it's hard to accept, that's why I'm callin' it d**h But the pain is the proof, of the chains that we choose And the way to get loose, is obeyin' the truth (And I know I got me some listeners) who forgot what the mission is ‘Cause you thought that a Christian is in a box when he's limited (But the freedom is seen) in love when your thinkin's redeemed And nothin' will keep you from leadin' others to meet with the King (Or keepin' your brothers from stumblin') we'd give up for the love of men Eatin' stuff when amongst them, it's seen as ugly or gluttonous (But it's not just the food) and doesn't stop with music Or what you watch at the movies or what the closet includes So let me conclude it with this, you can prove with the scripts That you can do what you wish, but what's the fruit of it kid I know some people are mad, and won't receive it in fact They hold and squeeze what they have, but there's no freedom in that [Hook]
