Nobl1 - Identity Crisis Lyrics

NOBL, Christ up I'm down listen
Let's take it back, way back
To the garden of Eden
Eden is where the serpent satan was plotting and scheming
Now the serpent was more cunning than any creature which the Lord had made
He was really slick, heart blacker than a king of spades
He asked Eve a question, and he followed up with a lie
He responded with
Nah, you will not surely die
She fell for his trick, took the fruit and then ate a bit
Gave to her husband who was with her and he ate a bit
Death and curses entered the world
We call this the fall of man
Satan was feeling big, thought he was successful with his plan
The covenant was broken because of Adams disobedience
Adam blamed Eve, they both claimed that they were innocent
They were banished from the garden, now everyone is born in sin
Broken identities and enmity is what we're shaped in
The mirror is cracked the image distorted and we don't know how we should look
If you open the word you'll find a mirror deep within the Holy Book
He cracked the mirror
Distorted the image
He doomed and he damned us with a spiritual blemish
But I thank God for Jesus standing in the gap for us
Let's take it back to the original image
Nowadays we take our image from the me-d-i-a
They tell us what to wear, how to look and act and think
And what we should say
And we fall for it eat it up like a flock of seagulls flyin'
Most people of us are unaware that we're spiritually dyin'
And our men idolize rappers and the image they portray
But all they rap about is money cars sex and fame
And there's this one particular dude whose name sounds like Bill Gain
All he does is boast about himself and his dollar bill gain
Our women watch BET they learn all about s-e-x
They think true beauty is on the outside that's why they showing they chest
And they say premarital sex is the norm
And being a virgin is lame
They want to be like the girls in the videos like
Drake, Plies, and 2Chains
Our identity is twisted like the locks in your hair
And it's sad to say because it seems like some parents don't care
But it could be the fact that we're messed up even more than the kids
And It's sad to say that all this is a result from original sin
He cracked the frame
And distorted the image (Yeah)
He doomed and he damned us with a spiritual blemish
But I thank God for Jesus standing in the gap for us
Let's take it back to the original image
Now we were made in His Image
In His likeness we were created man
This is biblical truth and it shouldn't have to be debated man
Open the bibles up to Romans eight verse twenty nine
If you read that text you'll see that we are pre-des-tined
We are called the be like Jesus Christ so what does that mean
We should strive for protection and be holy and clean
'Cause all that's in the world is the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes
And all those things are passing away just like the pride of life
Jesus wasn't filled with pride he was humble and low
Always inquiring from His Father which way He should go
Jesus is the second Adam through which we are redeemed
He fixed the mirror
Hung it up on the wall and gave it a thorough cleaning
The meaning that I'm tryna to get you to see
Is that when we look in the mirror it's His image we should see
So strive for protection, always keeping your standards high
Don't compromise cause Jesus didn't do it for you or I
He cracked the frame
And distorted the image (Yeah)
He doomed and he damned us with a spiritual blemish
But I thank God for Jesus standing in the gap for us
Let's take it back to the original image
Now, let's take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
I thank God for Jesus standing in the gap for us
Let's take it back to the original image
