PHANATIK - Odd Job lyrics

[Chorus]

Brothers, are we lovers of pleasure or of God?

If not then let's cross to the other side

Sisters, Yes, do a check

For self respect, check

Don't sell it for wealth and regret

Families, what up

Stay together, pray together

Brave the elements of weather, whether it's sunshine or rain

Do that thing like it's your day job

Work it overtime, over time we'll make 'em praise God

[Verse One]

When they look, they're shook

They're like, where'd you get your wisdom from

I bet it's from that book, cause we don't point to us

We stay pointed up, this is how God appointed us to live

He entrusts His kids with a road map to peace

Cuz the streets is like the Middle East

A beast, but He teaches us to say no

To desires that rage like fires in our souls

Then He goes and shows us what's best

And gives us His mind to help us say yes

And He tells us stay blessed

And to walk in the light

And live like it's day, and not get lost in the night

He helps us to desire what we should

And protects us like a fence unless it's all good

Now you can climb His barbed wire

And get scared by it but how's that gonna make 'em lift God higher

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]

Pac made it cool to be a thug

Why not be the one to make 'em say, "Ok made it cool to be in love with God"

Or "pop ain't no fool he put his trust in God"

I remember when I was in school I put in plugs for God

Back then it was hard to try to find

The balance between the daily and the divine

Now I find that it's just one of those things

That for the Christian those two are one in the same

It's not something we construct ourselves

Scripture instructs us how to conduct ourselves

We're still human beings

Still humans seeing and doing as humans do it's just our views are changing

We don't laugh at all the jokes

Especially when the hope that we hold is called a hoax

No club and bed hoppin'

It's tuff not to sin when you're constantly breaking your neck watchin 'em

I know, she ain't have to where them jeans like that

But that don't mean you gotta stare all at her seems like that

It seems like that's the hardest part of all

Is how to stand strong after standing for the alter call

But we gotta learn to say no

Sometimes we gotta lay low

Not that we rockin' halos we just gotta stay on or J.O

[Chorus]

[Third Verse]

You can clock out but I'm punching mines

Hard workers are getting' harder to find

Like it's quarter to lunch time

But I know some, they aint livin' ho-hum they go gung-ho for the Son

It's not an issue of going to work or not

Tell 'em Tonic, when you're heavenly minded it's the only choice you got

And Ambassador told us Christ soldiers

Like rolling with Him now no more wait til this life's over

Truth gave a shout to my Christians in school

Who decided to be more Christian than cool

And sometimes when you're livin' the truth

You don't have to say a word cause your life is the livin' proof

That's Badia Jeter she said it the sweetest

I'm a spokes model on the runway for Jesus

See, our job

Is to find life and define life without going outside of our God

I go to work, like it's 9 a.m

Trying hard to find me a friend who reminds me of Him

Be distinct, don't let the lines blend

To where they can't tell where you start and the carnal mind ends

[Chorus]
