My City
by Flame

Album: 13 Letters

Verse 1: (Acts 19-20) Let me tell you about my city little homie/ that's if you ain't read where they practice black/ magic and speak to the dead/ minds fried like bleach to the head/ from the stuff being preached by the Greeks if you read/ Our main attraction is our main distraction/ thanks for asking/ actually I can't stand her/ who is she she draws every man/ and every woman from every land/ to her temple of Diana/ She's regarded as a sacred goddess/ one of the 7 wonders of the world/ its obvious that Christ-lessness in my city to worship a many-breasted mummy-looking girl/ Under the Romans my city is free so you can only imagine that's going on/ that's why us believers here in Ephesus have no choice but cling to the throne

Verse 2: When we got the letter from Paul my dawg was locked in chains/ this was the means by which the doctrine came/ it was the teaching explaining the gospel main/ from the Apostle Paul written to all the saints/ in Ephesus (Eph. 1:1)/ he started off wit some defini-/tions explicitly written for Christians/ he made it plain it wasn't a plan B/ he predestined to a portion some of humanity/ through His own Son/ for His own glory/ through His Son's blood/ (Eph 1:3-6) said he was praying for us/ that our eyes will see the hope of the call/ the riches of glory His inheritance He has is us all (Eph. 1:16-19)/ Said we are saved by grace through faith/ faith's a gift (Eph 2:8) so faith through grace/ in light of that we shouldn't live like we used too/ it's crucial that we don't do/ what we used to do (Eph 2:10)

Verse 3: It blessed our hearts to read/ how God revealed to Paul this mystery/ how we were far from God with no peace (Eph 3:1-6)/ we can't lie dawg we been foul/ cats might even know us as Gentiles/ in other words we are not Jewish/ we'd still be dead in our sin if God did not do this/ tear down the wall between Jews and Gentiles/ praise God now I can be His child (Eph 2:11-13)/ now we can walk in unity with no beef/ and keep the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace (Eph 4:1-3)/ and share our gifts as we edify one another/ no harsh jokin being corrupt lying on each other/ putting off the old man and putting on the new (Eph 4:17-32)/ in our marriages (Eph 5:22-33)/ families (Eph 6:1-4)/ even on our jobs (Eph 6:5-9)/ the new nature affectin every area of our lives/ the whole armor is applied cause we're soldiers for God (Eph 6:10-20)
