James Julius transforms the common drug dealer track into a witty metaphor for the Holy Spirit & great commission. This song in no way condones the use or sale of drugs. Listen closely and understand the references and comparisons to grindin' hard for the gospel! Say whatever you want, but when they ask you where you got it, you ain't get it from me!
(Verse 1)
Once again I'm about to tear the block up,
Get it in and ship it out,
I serve The Rock up,
Uh, and I ain't talkin' 'bout 'caine,
When I get it in & I grind,
Ya I serve up the king,
You - You - You should be doin' the same,
When they ask you where you got it,
Don't mention my name,
The stuff I got right here will put the rest to shame,
And you ain't gotta pay me homie,
You can keep ya change,
You can't get it, & hit it, & stop,
Once you get it, & did it, you're locked,
A feelin' that nothin' could top,
I'm speakin' of Christ The Rock,
So tell me homie,
Do you like how that sounds?
How would you like to get high?
And never come down?
(Chorus)
What up homie, ya i got what you need,
It ain't ex, It ain't coke, it ain't weed,
Matter fact, you can get it for free,
And when they ask you where you got it,
You ain't get it from me,
Sup homie, heard you lookin' for change,
I got somethin' to take care of the pain,
It's The Rock, I'm talkin' Christ The King,
So when you get it, and you got it,
Don't mention my name.
(Verse 2)
Oh ya back? I thought I told you before,
Once you hit it, you can't quit it,
You'll be feignin' for more,
It got David dancin',
Ya he movin' his hips,
"Sweeter than honey." He said, when he put to his lips,
It got Noah paranoid,
Now he buildin' a ship,
It gave Samson mighty strength,
He killed a lion with his fist,
Jonah refused to slang,
What a horrible diss,
Off the ship, now he gotta sleep with the fish,
Paul and Silas went to Phillipi lookin to sell,
But they caught 'em, & they got 'em,
And they threw 'em in jail,
Imma tell you the truth mayne,
There's only one rule mayne,
Next time you get high you gotta start slangin' it to mayne.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Sup homie ya I got what you need,
Matter fact you can get it for free,
Uh, Ya you like how that sound?
How would you like to get high,
And never come down?
(Verse 3)
Imma show you how to get it started,
We mix prayer and fasting with the living water,
No quarters, no ounces, and we don't break down no zips,
We cut it with the scriptures hopin' that they life will get flipped,
Our target for market is the broken hearted,
This right here will do the trick if their hearts been hardened,
So get goin' and hit blocks,
Forget about zip-locks,
We cant just sit by while the clocks goin' tick tock,
Use a sale pitch,
Like, "You can get it for free."
And, "When they ask you where you got it,
You ain't get it from me.",
It belongs to Christ who reigns,
So when you get it & you got it,
Don't mention my name.
(Chorus)
