curt kennedy - ananias lyrics
[verse 1]
rap grind, react time, see acts 9
capped minds, gotta retract lines, i fact find
relax, i’m or perhaps i’m just that blind
but gotta say something ’cause saying nothing’s for that mime
context time, salvation for the unlikely
this blasphemer, church persecutor, had nike all in his psyche, just do it
when it came to what might be the persecution of the branches that the vine has been rooting
despite the challenges with all that god saw what saul lacked
was the light and so the light came to saul and he falls back
made a life claim on saul, took his eyes til he saw that
being saul and what he saw was the reason it’s all black (all facts)
but the lord had people that weren’t accepting it
ananias was honest and told him he wasn’t getting it
he was fretting it, doubting that jesus even knew the dude
until the lord was like, “nah, ananias, he’s been renewed”
[hook]
dudes doubting dudes’ conversions like they liars
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
dudes mad ’cause their music ain’t reach the highest
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
[verse 2]
fast forward, the culture is pretty bored with
any music that’s highlighting jesus they see as morbid
they been boxing me in so i’m practicing with a forklift
’cause it’s hard to be a fisher of men when there’s only swordfish
lots of dudes with bars been doing it, trying to penetrate
but chh ain’t the letters they wanna celebrate
when they hear jesus that bobbing would quickly hesitate
and some couldn’t beat ’em and joined and also denigrate
then kanye west got saved and it was surprising
that old kanye that they missing, god ain’t revive him
his newfound faith gave him music that was inspiring
he always had choirs but now acquired the fire in
side of a new convert, but some dudes got all smirks
’cause ‘jesus is king’ got some artists with feelings all hurt
’cause they ain’t get support and their album got better joints, fam
who got a better album is really missing the point, man
[hook]
dudes doubting dudes’ conversions like they liars
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
dudes mad ’cause their music ain’t reach the highest
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
dudes acting like their skepticism is the wisest
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
dudes do it for the lord but when n0body buys it
acts 9, not acts 5, you ananias
[verse 3]
salvation is still popping, but when you famous
believers will doubt you like they are thomas
i’m honest, i’ve done it too when professions aren’t really credible
thank the bread of life but then later he’s not edible
but i see a trend, so the scriptures i had to pore through
why, with certain conversions, are many needing some more fruit?
the apostles would baptize anybody that’s with it
they wasn’t looking for fruit, ‘cept believing that jesus did it
some of them won’t admit it but they are the older brother
who’s angry because the father’s celebrating another
there’s people leaving the faith, shaming the throne of grace
and he’s saying ‘jesus is king’ but you acting like you the ace
’til there’s a con in this kanye, don’t con kanye
’cause some of y’all’s grace is too grace jones, you strange’
we gotta do better than this we gotta do right
and be the ananias that said “brother, receive sight”
