What Do You See?

Hear the CLINK! of the nails as they pierce His hands
 And thelash as they slash this man
 Crash this man, hit and harass this man
 Bash, stick and inflict mad gashes and
 Mentally put yourself at the place and time
 Use your faith as a way to trace the crime
 Let your mind take you back laps and laps
 Back track till your mind sees back to back
 All the things that happened to a silent Lamb
 All in chains they trapped Him like a violent man
 Like He forwarded a violent plan, but it was prophecy
 That said God would be treated like unwanted property
 You've got to see the ill way that they flogged Him
 Blood leaked, it was deep how they mobbed Him
 Think thorns worn as a crown
 Here the Jews say, Crucify Him pass it down
 Hear the squeals as the steel comes crashin' down
 Can't get pass the sound, teeth are gnashing' now
 Veins snap, feel that, He's hot flashin' now
 Draped in blood, covered in a cap and gown
 So many crack from the straps that it numbed the back
 Crucifixion makes your lungs collapse
 Watch His chest---see Him gasp for breath
 Hear Himandtill there's no gasp left
 CHORUS:
 What do you see when you close your eyes
 What will you see when your life goes by
 Think hard visualize the ill mob
 Either you'll feel God or your hearts real hard
 VERSE(2):
 Concentrate, your mind should stay in study mode
 Tell your buddies, roll as you contemplate the bloody robe
 Which was worn by the One beaten and torn
 Killed by the same dust people He'd formed
 But He emptied Himself---paused the wealth
 Put independent use of His attributes on the shelf
 Loving men who weren't loving Him but were loving sin
 Loving gin, lovin' a night at the club again
 I'm Ruben' men wrong but souls will die
 If my rhyme doesn't come in and blow your high
 I'm right in the site of Jehovah's eye
 So the gospel I'll tell till I'm old and dry
 The world's cold like a frozen pie
 With little sense like missing your ears, tongue, nose, and eyes
 But back to the ugliest things you've ever heard of
 The murder of the One who took more flack than Roberta
 They came in droves cats had His veins exposed
 Played a game where they claimed His robe
 Eyes swollen, even rearranged His nose
 Only Providence helped Him sustain the blows
 Are yall seeing the One who owns it all
 The King getting beaten in the Roman halls
 Headed for a Roman cross, and heaven is His home and all
 But He wouldn't give His home a call
 Soon to dislocate His bones and all
 And still wouldn't wish for His opponents fall
 Ahhh!---tired and thirsty too
 Blood lossed on a cross in His birthday suit
 As He droops, pooped from attempts to breathe
 I grievetears stop my attempts to read
 The sign hanging over Him limp and weak
 It's (Memphis) bleak---How could this have been meant to be.
 CHORUS
 No time to blink, but just continue to think of Scripture
 Let it convict ya, focus get in to picture
 Watch it blow you square off the rector
 As it teaches you of the real Victor
 Who prevails, you hear the crucifixion details
 Now ask yourself why's your life still derailed
 And why we fail to live for the One we nailed
 This same Jesus, you know the One we Hail
 With lips but not with lives
 Time see with the heart and not with our eyes
 See the Son, the One, who was hung like a poster
 Was buried, but popped up like a toaster
 Got all the host of heaven makin' a toast to
 The King of kings who brings God and men closer
 Sin's roped ya, guns out the holster
 Can't stay alive even with John Travolta
 Now I hope to pull you off the sofa
 Cut the TVs pause the CD's, the culture
 Is in the midst of a raging storm
 The rage is on, obituary page is long
 Life is short, but casket sales are high
 No surprise that numbers in the jails are high
 On the streets anything you want they'll supply
 That's why beer, crack and weed sales are high
 Love songs making you wail and cry
 Number of pregnant single females is high
 Youth get high---deal just to get by
 Doing street corner business with no suit & tie
 It's do or die, truth or lie, you and I
 Refuse to try, and trust the Crucified
 Yo what do you see when you close your eyes?
 What will you see when your life goes by?
 CHORUS
