John the Baptist - Stephen the Levite
Yo, what the deal wit' this, voice cryin' out in the wilderness
"make the ways of the Lord straight, no hills in it"
level out the valley's make plains, He's revealed to kids
prophesied by Isaiah, He's fulfillin' it
spirit of Elijah with the same clothes killin' it
Camel hair and a leather belt no frills in it
What did you expect to see, some kind of silkiness?
not a reed bent easily he was built for this
More than a prophet, he's a man on a pilgrimage
the messenger, written of in Malachai, spillin' it
"Repent of your sins, He can cleanse all your filthiness
There's a new era comin' through, can you get with this
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
There's a new era comin' through, can you get with this
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
and switch, the Kingdom of God is at hand
(get with it) ya dig? the Kingdom of Christ is at hand (get with it)
Check the hype bruh, cats call John "the Baptizer"
wild style vow since a child, Nazerite stuff
cousin of the Son, born of parents that are righteous
leapin' in the belly when the fetus of the Christ comes
Mary and Elizabeth can identify, "the
Spirit of the Lord is in here" queue the choir
not a lot of singin from the pops Zechariah
vocalizin' doubts had him silent for the nine months
neighbors get floored when the Lord broke his silence
couldn't even chat, now the cat prophesies stuff
all that God's done got ‘em wonderin' the kind of
man he's gon' be, a strong beast from the wild cuz
fast forward, John's at the Jordan spittin' fire
"b3ar fruit…axe is at the root…brood of vipers"
there's a new steeze and you'll see the Messiah
is comin' next, I'm just here to prep 'til His time 'cause…
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
and switch, the Kingdom of God is at hand
(get with it) ya dig? the Kingdom of Christ is at hand (get with it)
Peep the drama, Christ comes just like he taught us
John baptizes little cousin in the water
Dove drops with a little ac' from the Father
sayin' that He's pleased with Him, leavin' ‘em awestruck
dudes must've missed when he spit what his job was
seein' that when Jesus baptizes, all come
upset, thinkin' He's a threat to what John does
not so, John got low, givin' props up
"i need to shrink so that he can be honored
He holds the mic, I'm the hype man, I'm not much
He get's the Bride, I'm the side groom it's not dumb
i'm gon' rejoice at his voice, I'll be all done
same team, say the same thing, see the plot bruh?
last words lotta cats heard ‘fore he got plucked
later on he fades from the pages he's got one
scenes left, he will see death, but it's fine 'cause…
The Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven's at hand (get with it)
and switch, the Kingdom of God is at hand
(get with it) ya dig? the Kingdom of Christ is at hand (get with it)
End the saga, foul plot, mouth got him locked up
there for a while, so His doubts start to pop up
sent a couple cats just to ask "was I wrong cuz"
came back, tellin' of the acts He'd accomplished
After peeps left Jesus was rep'ed for'em hard bruh
sayin' he's the greatest man born of a mama
wonder what the reason they seized him at all was?
let me go back, show the wackness upon us
Herod wil'ed took the spouse of his Mom's son
John put him on blast sayin' it was wrong but
He's shook, knowin' peeps took him for a prophet
she's not, fiendin' for the opp just to squash ‘em
chance comes, he received a dance from her daughter
"anything you want will be yours" is the offer
mama says, "bring me John's head on a charger"
but he's just a finger, the Kingdom of God comes
