lyrics

My brothers. My sisters.
While we are in this foreign land...
Stay awake!

‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down
‘Cause they Lurking’ and they trine hunt you down
Don’t play around—
——
No, I am not without hope,
But I am not without sadness as well
I have gladness to tell how my sadness prevailed
Over drinking madness from the baddest of wells
I am not just sad for myself
I am troubled in my thinking in my habits and health
Seeing what your drinking from the cabinet shelf
Gotchu seeing Jesus and thinking it's Calvin himself
That one is sickening it really is
That among others, among brothers of brilliance
But if Paul and Apollos be the same
Then hallowed be the name of none other than who he is
One plants, one waters
One Father to grant the growth so we can truly live
One plant, one potter
One God who demands the boast that we boast that we would give to men

Some things will steal you away if you let them
They are lurking in the dark
Some secrets find you out if you protect them
They are lurking in the dark

Young lady, Fishing for men in the dark with her body in the water
More likely to end up with sharks then find another convert
A follower, a father or a gentleman
Little girls will follow her and model what she meddles (medals) in
1st place, 2nd place, 3rd base adrenaline
Pumping through the veins of a young man developing
A battle that has slain many grown men who wrestle it
And I can feel the pain cause I hold hands with veterans
Now, you can help your brother be humbled
Or you can help your brother to stumble
Down the steps of your temple, repenting with each stair (stare)
Now it's driving him mental to step into each snare
You say, I wish that they would just look at my face
But your clothes say, I wish that they would just look at my waist and below
And behold, now you got 'em not looking at all
Wearing fig leaves in autumn, that'll cause 'em to fall.

Some things will steal you away if you let them
They are lurking in the dark
Some secrets find you out if you protect them
They are lurking in the dark

about

Nate Emmanuel Charlottesville, Virginia

Hey, I'm Nate. I'm an artist in central VA, making pop/hip-hop music. My music primarily reflects on God and living the life He has given us. I've been rapping since I was 16 when I came to know Jesus Christ. I've been growing as a believer and as a creative since then. My prayer is that the music blesses the Lord and the listeners. ... more
