Still Grapplin'

I been thinkin' bout some things no doubt Somethin on my mind that I'm thinkin' about So I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I seen things that look kinda strange If we don't think about it, ain't nuttin' gon' change So I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it How come the best performers make the worst teachers? Why does the worst behavior come from parents in the bleachers? Why does our nation's future always seem to be in doubt? Why are the leaders in the media always chasin' clout? How come I see these so-called Christians Who don't read the Bible and to the Spirit never listen How come the ones who look like go-getters Make the dumbest mistakes and oughta know better Why do I make plans but don't follow through And end up doing the things that I don't wanna do? Why do my opponents never strike the same fear That I feel in myself, when I look in the mirror? Why is it that brands like Mercedes and Benz Don't appeal to me, like they did in the 2010s And why am I so tense, in my shoulders and back And how come none of my friends wanna play You Don't Know Jack Why do 20-year-olds complain about adulting But when they get carded, they got the nerve to say it's insulting? _And why are people so sadly mistaken To put pineapple on a pizza with Canadian bacon Why is it that Jesus spoke in parables, but His Followers' storytelling skills are so terrible And why are church leaders so scared to get fired They're willing to bow, not to Jesus but empire Why do people vote with feet and their funds Centrists don't get squat, while extremists get tons Why is it my feed is toxic and full of rage And what would it take, for the United States to finally change? Not every question's gonna have a good answer But I've been rockin' the Q&A since back when I was in Pampers So in verse two, I'll be comin' back to get 'em But first I better grapple wit 'em I been thinkin' bout some things no doubt Somethin on my mind that I'm thinkin' about So I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I seen things that look kinda strange If we don't think about it, ain't nuttin' gon' change So I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it It's much harder to teach than it is to do Parents get invested and end up losing their cool The future of America depends upon God And rather than admit that, we tend to follow the fraud So Christian nationalists in the American Church Have an image of Jesus but it's a caricature The ones who yell the loudest when they share their concerns Prob'ly lack self awareness and have a fair amount to learn I recommend Romans seven:23 Cause Paul is like me, in all my inconsistency And looking in the mirror, it helps to reclaim Accountability, read the first chapter of James Brands come and go, these are constant facts And they be always trynna hook us with nostalgic tactics It's more important to mind your health And when you gather with the homies think of more than yourself I don't totally understand all of Gen Z But they don't need me to exacerbate their frenzy If I'mma be a model I should model humility And pizza topping fights are the epitome of futility In pastors' stories, they tend to be the hero But it takes real courage to face the lions sent by Nero You're not Tony Hawk, just cause you can skate again Your King James Bible won't make America great again What made you think America was great in the first place? When people can't afford to make it to first base? There's no class advance if you're not well bred So keep it if all you say is just"be warm and well fed" Not every answer that I gave was solid But I've been rocking the Q&A since back when I was in college So if you got critiques, then spell check, and then submit em But first you better grapple with em I been thinkin' bout things no doubt Somethin on my mind that I'm thinkin' about, so I'mma Grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mm grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I seen things that look kinda strange If we don't think about it, ain't nuttin' gon' change So I'mma grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it I'mm grapple wit it, grapple wit it, grapple wit it
