Short Sermon

Tamara Lowe (A Very Short Sermon)

To be a Survivor in this Amazing Race
With the need for speed you need God's grace
And if you are desperate-like housewives
Watching days of our lives
You can't cope without hope and that's not on a soap
If you're looking to Opera or Doc Phil
You can shop non-stop or pop a pill
But the void won't fill, and the pain won't kill
Til u love the one that hung on the hill
Kicking back in your lazy boy Ezy chair watching who wants to be a millionaire
Nah... you're not gonna find it there.
No American Idol or council tribal has a final answer that will satisfy you
CSI aint got a clue, SBU dunno what to do
Not the ER, or the OC
Not them on the CD TV DVD or MP3 can save you and me.
Cnn's got no good news, Here's a headlines you must choose!
It's not a simple life parisilk, let's thread on thin ice living in sin.
You can be a primas or donna trampled fast food from a dump
You can be a heavy hitter or a wheel of fortune winner,
a fox news-ner, spin spinner or flat out sinner
But you better check this life you're living, your sins are forgiven
I bet you 50 cents Einstein came and went
Eventually every black eye pea want to finally Pea ditty and Britney
Wants to be on MTV with their icy bling, every dixie chick that sings
They ALL gonna see the King of Kings!
I dun care if you are J Lo, Olano or Obano, One thing you gotta know,
Someday you gonna die, bro, Then where're you gonna go?
Hey I'm not talking some punk junk that's irrelevant like your grandma's church from way back when it's not some preacher feature on TV and that you need to like and to be listening.
The real superstar is Jesus Christ. He's the way, he's the truth and the life.
One day's He gonna split the sky, He's the brightest light, and the highest high. So, what I came to say, and what I'm telling you: Dun buy that stupid stuff they'll be selling you...
It's all designed to fill your head and waste your space until you're dead.
Here's the bottom line of my rhyme, Give you life to God, while there's still time.

Correct my dictation if I got any part of the rap wrong. Thanks!
