corey red & precise - gethsemane lyrics
first things first, i need y’all to picture the scene
forget about, every potraint and picture you’ve seen
forget about, every hollywood movie
you saw betraying jesus as a hippie
walking round like everything’s groovy
i know about the church stealing, and shady dealings
and how you used to go to church
but they hurt your feelings
that’s irrelevant
forget about the dis, forget about the miss
forget about december 25th
now, lets talk about jesus
the one who heals diseases
the god who humbled himself and became a fetus
the one born in the midst of a manger
amongst strangers, born in the midst of a danger
because the devil already wanted him dead
and king herod already wanted his head
so, they tried to smoke christ
now, on the hook, tell me what do you see
when you close your eyes
hook
can you feel the pain of the night he was betrayed?
crown of thorns, flesh torn, in an empty tomb he laid
but
on the third day, he had risen from the grave
put the smackdown on sin, and he’s coming back again
verse 2
i write jesus in his thirties, growing with the ministry
making moves, you know, sort’a like the industry
he went from rapping on the corner to the main scene
he went from ripping open mics to the main stream
religious fellas were jealous ‘cos he was zealous
making hit records and spitting acapellas
they hated on him ‘cos he got shine
behind his back
even his own family saying he out his mind
others were baffled, because of things he would teach
like don’t think i came to bring peace
i came to bring war, swinging a sword
and sin offends me
so if you ain’t with me you against me
jealousy’ll make a savage
they wanted christ dead
just because he healed a man on a sabbath
so by judas he was betrayed
they schemed as he prayed
and set him up like jam master jay
hook
can you feel the pain of the night he was betrayed?
crown of thorns, flesh torn, in an empty tomb he laid
but
on the third day, he had risen from the grave
put the smackdown on sin, and he’s coming back again
they put a price on the head of the one
who gave life to the dead
but it was prophesied, christ will riser from the dead
so what a tangled web we weave
and never see, without him how dead we be
now step with me, to the garden og gethsemane
christ prayed steadily, to the heavenly
“father. if possible remove this cup”
nevertheless christ suffered as they bruised him up
put spike in his wrists, as they threw him up
on a body crucifix, right between two thugs
christ paid for our sins at the hands of pranksters
and on the third day, he rose again
now that’s gangster
his lungs collapsed, but still with no fear
the crowd laughed as he hung naked in the cold air
his destiny was meant to be
christ laid his life down at gethsemane
hook
can you feel the pain of the night he was betrayed?
crown of thorns, flesh torn, in an empty tomb he laid
but
on the third day, he had risen from the grave
put the smackdown on sin, and he’s coming back again
rewind
can you feel the pain of the night he was betrayed?
crown of thorns, flesh torn, in an empty tomb he laid
but
on the third day, he had risen from the grave
put the smackdown on sin, and he’s coming back again
