Brotha Earl - Jacob's Trouble Lyrics

Yeah, praise the Lord in Jesus' name Thank you, Lord, for this truth
Yeah, uh, look, I need time to vent You Know a lot be on my mind, I guess I'm
On a rant I ain't right inside, I say that with Confidence
I know the consequence, I'm trying to Gain more consciousness

The fear of God is what I need That's gon' Bring the knowledge, then the
Wisdom gon' proceed Life is like a tree, You know we wither just
Like leaves Humility is bigger than just Falling on your
Knees Yeah, I stayed up all night thinking About

Them lost souls Preachers lying to them, Give them false hope
You gotta turn them from their sin, Jeremiah four
If they don't turn from their sin, then they Die slow
Oh, what a tangled web that we weave When we learn the practice of deceit

Man, it's so much wickedness and greed Be careful what you teach and how you Lead
Where were you when I was a kid Figuring out that 300 million of my Ancestors are buried
In America
Where were you guys asking those same Questions when I was a kid dealing with Learning about

The traumatic events of my familial History and what I'm proud to come from And why I'm
Proud to stand here and why, when I Repeat myself, that I'm not gonna stand Down
We turn our eyes from his sabbaths, look, Now our lives getting ravaged
We ain't want no king, so we ain't keeping His commandments

We ain't understand it, why we gotta Abandon it
Father God, we lost without you and we Need your help
We led astray by false pastors that done Sent themselves
Give me truth and give me death, but give Me nothing else

You gave me life, you gave me breath, so I Can save myself
We the Jews, we the priests that send Out genetics
Nowadays they try to say you anti-Semitic
These last days you persecuted, it's looking prophetic

Matthew 10 and 22 give you proof cause I read it
Know they gon' reject it, soon they gon' Regret it
We the apple of his eye, the one he chose To send his message
We the one the Lord elected, we didn't Wanna give him reverence

Now we drive by the fire, everyday we Getting tested
I mean, growing up in a country that's Told me that I wasn't worth anything
And I came from a slave class
And I come from a people that are meant To be treated the way we get treated Everyday

So, I'm not here to compare anyone's Atrocities
Or tragic events that their families have Dealt with
Generations of time
I'm just here to continue to expose things

That our world continues to put in Darkness
Yeah, that's right
Look
And dear Lord, do I put my trust

Let me never be ashamed
Deliver me in thy righteousness
Bow down thy ear unto me
Deliver me speedily

Beat down my rock
And for a house of defense
To save me
For thou are my rock

And my fortress
Therefore
For thy name's sake
Lead me

And guide me
Pull me out of the net that they have laid Privately for me
For thou my strength
And to thine hand

I commit my spirit
Thou has redeemed me
Oh Lord
God of truth

Save Israel
From its trouble
Peace
In Jesus name

You
You
