Doloto Verse1
Yo hommie, I ain't here to tickle your ears.
Not in the business of pleasing you with what you wanna hear;
whatever it might be to which your mind aligned
causing faulty thinking 'cause the truth has been denied.
While claiming to be wise, but you're blind leading the blind (Mt 15:14)
who will fall into ditch, and you think you'll be alright
as you bag on me whether out of ignorance or consciously;
it's no difference to me when being faced with the reality
that you and I are both sinners by nature who really need
the gospel to convict us to repentance and to set us free.
We both need to bow down eventually;
better to do it as allies than His enemies!
Pardon my honesty as I start to rhyme,
even if these songs convict you bro I really don't mind.
I just hope that at a proper time you'll come and repent
so the redemptive work of Christ in you will be evident now.


Chorus
This is a song to tap into your condition.
You may be living life with many contradictions;
believing a gospel that's opposite from scriptures’
hoping you will see it; receive positive conviction.
This is a song to tap into your condition.
You may be living life with many contradictions,
believing a gospel that's opposite from scriptures;
hoping you will see it; believe it.

Reveal Verse
You’re not listening to two radio rapers;
you’re now listening to what really matters.
God is love, but when He comes as Judge
Isaiah wrote His garments will be splattered with His enemies’ blood.
Ten virgins waiting for their master, five with their lamps burning ready,
the other half scrambling to disaster deadly;
a tainted picture of today’s church saying praises and amens,
but when no one’s looking you dipping in the purse
giving crumbs to Christ after serving Satan the full diner plate first,
turning off your light all for a slice?
Proclaiming to be blessed,
but what happens when you show up the feast the beast not properly dressed?
An eternity of weeping reaping every regret
wishing you turn from the yearn when you heard the word repent!

Chorus

Doloto Last Verse
You want something positive, but the truth is convicting,
so you back away and then choose to live in sin.
you realize following Christ gonna cost ya;
Instead of riches and prosperity, persecution.
They want the blessings forgetting the other half
that they are called to suffer as they receive the Holy Ghost;
tossed like babes in lies of the modern day
that you should be living in health, wealth, and prosperity.
Learning to imitate and copy everything they say,
but when looking at Jesus never learned to obey.
When it comes to sin, approaching the scriptures skeptically,
respectively hearing both of the sides objectively.
Walking away thinking that you're so negative
thinking that God will still forgive us despite how we lived,
that He's so kind and loving, yet forgetting He's the judge.
Man test your salvation or else you'll be out of touch forever.
