HE IS ALIVE

 

(Matthew 28) All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

 

(Hook)

He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Trying to reach hip hop soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat I’m staying relevant with an ear to the streets  He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Fully animated YO those soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat Roman soldiers roaming streets, like mad men packing heat  

(Verse 1)

Jesus the Christ the real resurrection –

Tell KRS that I’m coming for his section

Break dance, graffiti art, scratching records, hip hop

Fresh white tees, Air Force One’s and yes hip hop

Coming through banging like a breath of fresh air

Inspiring young cats to seek God in prayer

Staying relevant - universal - ear to the street

Shamel Shiloh real cool yo remember the Sweets

Freaking ill beats- singing hymns- all about your well being

Omnipresent God is always seeing

Like that beautiful angel who rolled away the stone

Then he lodge on it and said he’s already gone

With all that white he was blinding them dude

Man, this angel was miraculous, speaking truth

So - Phenomenal how he rose from grave

They never had Him down - Jesus rose in three days

 He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Trying to reach hip hop soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat I’m staying relevant with an ear to the streets  He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Fully animated YO those soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat Roman soldiers roaming streets, like mad men packing heat   

(Verse 2)

Hip Hop is dead but Jesus is alive

Shamel Shiloh about to take it to you wise guys

Crafty with the politics, roman soldiers fabrication

Time to shed some light, mad bright illumination

Disciples didn’t steal the body man that’s all a lie

Widely circulated like a rumor on the fly

At the break dawn - first day of the week

Sunrise real early, no time for sleep

Mary, Mary on mission went to look at the tomb

A violent earthquake and the thunder went boom!

Then an angel of the Lord came down from heaven

Must have been like fermentation rising like leaven

Appeared like lighting, clothes white as snow

Everybody was shook from this angel’s glow

The guards were so scarred – that they trembled in fear

HE IS ALIVE; now let me make this crystal clear

 

(Hook)

He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Trying to reach hip hop soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat I’m staying relevant with an ear to the streets  He is alive, alive Jesus is alive Fully animated YO those soldiers thought he died Broke the power of death – conquered- overcame defeat Roman soldiers roaming streets, like mad men packing heat       

(Verse 3)

Nas is like a lyrical genius -clever with those phrases

Illmatic to stillmatic we still need a savior

Like buckshot, embarrassing sin

Don’t front, you know I gotcha open again

Snatching souls for the Christ –crawl towards the light

Praying man breathing life – you know who paid the price

Check the spot where he lay & peep what I say

Go quickly - rather swiftly as I sway

Are you looking for Jesus, Messiah, Yeshua

Shiloh Chief Corner stone rose today

Hey - Go tell my sisters, then go tell my brothers

Then go tell a gossip, so they can tell another

Certified street dude man I’m a Christian

Exposed to the gospel one time that’s my mission

If – I- should die -before I wake

I pray salvation for my culture for goodness sake
