Crossed Out
Seems that everytime I try to make a Godly choice,
Somebody's in my face calling me a "Momma's Boy"
I'd enjoy being free from their childish noise
But I can't shine the light if I hide this joy.

Cause all across my nabe, man, agents of Satan
Calling me names and hating my game plan.
Blacks and whites and Asians, Jamaicans and Haitians,
Every single race, and, in fact, every nation

All find it strange that I pray and obey Him,
While they displaying their hate for the Slain Lamb.
I sit here with patience, they take life for granted;
I thank the Lord for the things I have been handed.

Branded, and banished, and just about vanished,
Is the treatment we get from this unruly planet.
Demandin' - that we replace faith with bad habits
But that is - a sure way to change eternal status.

When we shine light we break up their plight.
With fright they take flight or turn to the right.
A kite - flies highest with the wind against it.
The world hates the Word so I will defend it.

Befriend it, my friend, and soon you will see -
God will defend you from the - mutiny.
The world rises up in an all-time fury,
BUT I WILL STILL STAND AND GIVE GOD THE GLORY!!!


Chorus
All across town
Seems I'm always gettin' bossed down
Crossed out.
That's fine by me.
Better to be crossed out
Than joinin' hands with this lost town
Brought Down
Eternally.


Verse 2
Jakfat, a fanatic sticking like static
To Christ who paid the price on this I'm emphatic
Erratic, He had a new behavior pattern
Established the Church and He rules theocratic

Now the world's getting at it, and trying to make it shattered
But their black magic can't compare to God's tactics
To back this, I put Moses in my rap, his
Staff has - proven God's power is not lackin'.

God told Moses what to do in all his matters
Like bringing disease to cattle, and making darkness last for hours
The staff in his hand ate up all the other adders
It was an odd day when God's way was finally granted

Has this - made you realize what has happened?
God has always won and Satan's always been a has-been.
Crossed out people stand and cheer and start clapping.
The time is drawing near when we hear Him come back and

That's when - our hearts will be gladdened
For His sake, we take the road of less traveling.
We're constantly bashed and we're surrounded by the madness
But through Christ a new life is here for the asking!


Chorus
All across town
Seems I'm always gettin' bossed down
Crossed out.
That's fine by me.
Better to be crossed out
Than joinin' hands with this lost town
Brought Down
Eternally.



Verse 3
Feel the shockwave - when we give God praise
Infinite Yahweh - Who died in our place
They get in my face, a city in a high place
Shining the light like it's the Christmas holiday!

Yet we break through the barrier, swoop in like a harrier
If God's on your side, all they can do is discourage ya!
If Christ wants to marry ya, He surely will carry ya
So keep on shinin' true, even if they only stare at ya!

We can't give in - this is our one-time livin'
Just hang on here and Living Water we'll be sippin'
Down our chins, it'll be drippin' and we can't keep from grinnin'
But back to reality, we gotta come through winning.

Obscene is not an odd scene in this world ungodly
But you can't stop me from staying true to this Body.
I'll be - standing firm instead of wobbly
Spreading the Word cause it is public property.

Though Satan tries to stop me, he'll never have God beat
God is my shield even when people prod me
Heaven for the faithful is promise not a probably
So come on with the cross even when they're acting hostily!


Chorus
All across town
Seems I'm always gettin' bossed down
Crossed out.
That's fine by me.
Better to be crossed out
Than joinin' hands with this lost town
Brought Down
Eternally.

SO BE CROSSED OUT!!
