bryann trejo - who told you/purpose lyrics

man i wish someone woulda told me the truth a long time ago
n0body sat me down and said “look, this ain’t that and that ain’t this”
i was deceived for so long
it’s only right that i expose all this deception
in the might name of jesus
carry+on young soldier!

who told you gangstas go to heaven? (huh?)
who told you money make you real? (tell me)
who told you pistols make you tough?
and you don’t see all the dead bodies on the field?
who said that mercy’s for the weak?
who said forgiveness is for chumps?
they say a coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but once
and they mourn you for a week and they forget you in a month
who told you god doesn’t exist?
who told you god was just a myth?
who planted seeds of disbelief?
inside your mind, so you could trip
who told you jesus doesn’t love you?
who said you couldn’t be forgiven?
do you not know how much he loves you? (listen)
do you not know the king has risen?
who told you christian rappers’ wack?
whoever said that man was wack
this truth’ll hit you harder, knock you flat down on your back
who told you christian rappers’ wack?
whoever said that man was wack
the truth’ll hit you so hard, it knock you flat down on your back
two things either happen
one, you gon’ get mad
and hate me for correcting you for pointing out what’s bad
or two, you get convicted and cry out because you sad
and ask god to forgive you for the trespasses you had
you either run to him or run from him
and i just pray you come to him
put down all your blunts and guns and you say “lord, i’m done with this!”
you run to him or run from him
i just pray you come to him
put down all your blunts and guns and you say “lord, i’m done with this!”
everything they told me was a lie, and man i know that now
it’s only right we hit the streets and we expose that now
dirty devil, dirty devil shoulda k!lled me
holy spirit, holy spirit come and seal me
fill me with new strength again, now i’m feeling new inside
lord, i abide in you and follow you where you abide
fill me with new strength again, now i’m feeling new inside
lord, i abide in you and follow you where you abide
and i confide in you with confidence, my lord
cuz greater is he who lives in me than he who’s of this world, aye
i confide in you with confidence, my lord
greater is he who lives in me than he who’s of this world
who told you god couldn’t be trusted?
i’m trynna tell you you can trust him
he loves you deeply, please believe me
he hates to see his children suffering
see, i don’t know what all they told you, and i don’t even know who told
i just know that he’s the answer, he gives hope, man, to the hopeless
i don’t know what all they told you, and i don’t even know who told
i just know that christ’s the answer, he gives hope, man, to the hopeless, yeah
who told you?

sanctified in the mighty name of jesus
i tell you all the time, man, if you wanna know where i’m headed you gotta know where i been
what god saved me from?
destruction, evil, perversion, corruption, murder
all that wicked stuff in my heart!
the only thing that can set me free was the blood of jesus christ, man
i come from a dark side of life where god literally, man, let his light penetrate through the darkness
and took me out that pit
i thank you my lord!!

so texas, so tennessee
grew up with homicidal tendencies
man, and you would think that it was ten of me
the way i’d hit with such intensity
so evil, so prideful
and so stupid to be lucifer’s disciple
and makaveli had me feeling suicidal
1995 on my southside, i’m a rider
running in convenience stores, robbery in progress
juvenile delinquent with my twin as my accomplice
and malt liquor and percocets, searching who to murder next
woke up in a nervous sweat
sin was my eternal death
yo, we all was born with birth defects
this earth was cursed with sin and empty souls that thirst for death
look, we always was the first to flex
and you was nerds to me if all you did was surf the net, uh
i said i didn’t show the church respect
but now i show the church respect!
without the lord i’m incomplete
remove all of my disbelief!
so christian, so kingdom
and so jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
so christian, so kingdom
and so jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
boy, you see the way it switched?
from the darkness to the light, jesus saved me from the pit
and just for me you let them hit you with their fist
and smother you in ridicule and cover you in spit
and criminal minds like mine at times, you know they still exist
he came to heal the blind, mayne
he came to heal the sick!
and criminal minds like mine at times, you know they still exist
he came to heal the blind, mayne
he came to heal the sick!
christianity is so misrepresented
we apologise for those who left resentment
no disrespect to my family and decendents
but you won’t find no profanity in my sentence
for me to get my point across, i don’t need to cuss at you
i’m a new creation look, i won’t point no guns at you
so christian, so kingdom
and so jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
so christian, so kingdom
and so jesus, so forgiven, so freedom
aye, the apostle paul
he made a clear distinction between two different minds
one being the spiritual mind, and the second being a fleshed mind
in romans 8:5+7 he says
for those who live according to the flesh, they set their minds on the things of the flesh
and those living according to the spirit set their minds to the things of the spirit
but to set the mind on the flesh is death
but to set your mind on the spirit is life and it’s peace
the good person out of the good treasure in his heart produces good
while the evil person out of the evil treasure produces evil
for out of the abundance of the heart is mouth speak
i’m asking you right now, what kind of treasure you got in your heart?
is it good? is it evil?
renewed heart, renewed mind
in the mighty name of jesus
carry+on!
