lirik lagu pontifex - can't be bought (feat. paradox & akalyte)
[verse 1: paradox]
yo, these sell-out rap cats are on that name-your-price sound
but mine was paid by christ, how he laid his life down
so i pray at night now, they pay attention
’cause they can’t afford not to listen to the great physician
locked like slaves in prison, with the chains and whips, playin’ the same position
yeshua’s p-ssion drew a catch of faithful christians
who took the baited hook the day they tasted wisdom
not for sale!
nah, it’s just the opposite, because god saw fit to lock pick us hostages
(the cross is bail!)
yes, that’s the father’s gift
cut the deficit and blessed the negative to positive
(he tossed the scales!)
‘cuz there’s no figuring repayment, salvation sent an open invitation to the banquet
flawless, unique pieces in an antique shop
if all of us are freed through jesus, then we can’t be bought
[hook: pontifex]
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
[verse 2: pontifex]
they say that every man in this world has a price tag
place where he loses all he has for a gold bag
no one has it out with what glitters in the field
traded what was real, chose the play, let’s make a deal
glances at the cross i see a price that’s offered my way
poured out, flowed out, given out for my pay
now i’m off the mark, and maybe satan’s target
call me bone and soul, take the book of life and mark it
is it really worth it?
tell me, is it worth it?
let me answer for you; if it’s temporal, then it’s worthless
invest in the timeless, where it all is priceless
alpha and omega, lamb of god, let ’em buy this
great exchange to reaarange our death into divinity
you are not confined, our piece of mind inside the trinity
constant pursuit, of this heart that he has sought
totos tuus, working through us, and we can’t be bought
[hook: pontifex]
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
[verse 3: akalyte]
some say money buys everything, but you can’t buy this
it’s for the greater glory of god when we rock it
catholic hip-hop it don’t stop, even with the minimal profits
bling bling and material things ain’t part of it
we do this for the church, the world has nothing to offer us
we were paid in full when christ hung on that cross for us
we spit the truth because he paid the highest cost for us
it’s written in our hearts, “in god we trust”
like such, you can learn a lot from minds that spill with jihad
as we apply catholic to rhymes
akalyte: the name the world can’t buy (well tonight, i will fight you no more)
[hook: pontifex]
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
speak to me, talk to me, let your words cut right through to me
been on my own, for way too long
gonna make my way to where i belong
[outro]
well tonight, i will fight you no more
well tonight, i will fight you no more
