[Bridge: GemStones]
Granny introduced me to Jesus
Said He rose and healed all diseases
Lift those that still fall to weakness
Heal souls that feel Paul with meekness
Will those that feel called as preachers
In silk robes that feel called to reach us
To shift those that withdraw from deepness
And teach those that some thought was reachless, uh
[Verse 1: GemStones]
Walking through them church doors, tryna turn a new page
Choir wearing grey robes, excited to exalt praise
Fire for the Lord grows, feeling like I'm all saved
Soon as three o'clock roll, I'm back into my old ways
Just called a friend, now I'm back riding with him
Cracked all the gin, now I'm backsliding with him
Sex marks the end of the baptised living
Saying naw within but the flesh side willing
Love God, my pen but I'm less tie driven
Bob Marley's hand cut it, best John Lennon
Lord God, I'm praying that You'll bless my spirit
Tryna grab Your hand, but I can't stop sinning
[Hook: GemStones]
Something 'bout His grace it makes
Me wanna praise His name
And so I praise Him more
My granny had crazy faith
She always made us pray
She said that You were Lord
If I should die before I wake, I pray to the Lord my soul to take
Hope I go where roads of gold are paved
Don't close the gates

Standing in the first row, wearing her Dior shades
Care about her wardrobe, more than she adore praise
Playing like she's so ho, praying like she's so saved
Damned in her poor soul, headed for a short grave
Let's all pretend we can act authentic
That fall she did was an act, all gimmick
Showing all her skin on the racks, no tennis
Any smaller pants and them snaps won't finish
Let all the band members tap, no limits
Preach all we stand, coz our backs so cleanish
At the altar praying, it's an act, all image
Living false, pretends that she has no blemish

[Verse 3: GemStones]
Eyes on his church clothes, pride got his chest raised
Look at what I just sold, look at what I just gained
Anything your birth grows, even in his worst stage
Same thing that cursed Job, but never since the first grade
Let go of my sin I procrast, God willing
Get involved my friend, you ain't blessed, start kneeling
Giving all you can with the breath God's given
That is all I can, so progress God's healing
There'll be loss of hands if you can't stop stealing
Steadfast from sins as the West Park dealers
Pray you're washed and cleansed like a press, dark [?]
Jesus died so man could be blessed, start living
