Kelly, R - The Sermon

Before I start I just wanna get a few things off my chest
Now being in the business that I am in
Looks like everything I do,
everywhere I go and everything I see
Seems to be through some kind of magnifying glass
Can I talk about it?

While you're looking, I suggest you take a good look
And I hope you find just what it is you're looking for
Just like the song says ain't nobody's business what I do
Now can I move on?

I remember when I was tryin' to be somebody
But I just didn't know nobody, now can I say it again?
Ever since God has blessed me it seems like
Everything is going a little bit different
It's funny how things have changed
Even the Statue of Liberty wants to bump & grind
Can I get a witness?

I don't see nothing wrong with a little truth
(Now wait a minute - go there wit me)
You see the Good Book says that the truth is a light
I think it's time to turn on your light so you can see
Can I talk on?

Listen, you don't know where I've been
You don't know where I'm going
You don't know what I do,
can I get a witness?

So before you go tryin' to pass judgement on me
Pass judgement on yourself
What about yourself and what yourself is doing?
And where yourself is going and who yourself has been with
That way you don't ever have to worry about nobody
Talk - What you just heard wasn't no joke
Just had to get some shit up off my chest
Alright, now let's do this
