Oh thought you wasn’t gonna see me?
I’m the Iscariot of this!
This, this Judas, the real bad guy in Bible!
Did you know? Did you know I was elected the treasurer of the group and 12th and final apostle?!
I rhyme biblically
All of these Sagittarii and Pisces
Can’t define how I be dropping these crisis
Literally perform miracles nightly
Lyrics bush burning, revelation flaming
Traveling village to village, salvation explaining
I was born Simon, but Jesus renamed me Peter
But y’all can call me either
As long as you believe
Wear your faith like a shield attached at your sleeve
Seeing ain’t believing, just look at me
When I first walked on water, when I doubted Jesus
I began to sink, so I understand how faith can leave us
I actually refused, to let Jesus wash my feet!
What in the world, you ask, was wrong with me?
All that time with Jesus, fishing for souls in our primes
As His most trusted disciple, I denied Him three times!
Its James, my brothers are John and Peter
Taking you on a ride, turning off the meter
As the 'sons of thunder,' we witnessed dozens of miracles
Back then, fools didn’t even believe that earth was spherical
Water to wine, fish and bread for 5,000 people?
Times were tough, and most weren’t treated equal
Only 93 women are mentioned in the Bible!?!
Sorry we excluded you, I was wrong for being idle
Maybe that’s why His message of love fell on deaf ears?
Why was hope and faith was replaced with doubts and fears?
Andrew on the mic
Quitting my fishing gig, was well worth the price
I first introduced Peter to Jesus Christ
And led a nomadic, sporadic, yet spiritual life
Traveling with Jesus and eleven other guys
Everywhere we went, people were so surprised
The lame, insane, hungry and tired
The blind, guilty of crimes, aleft Jesus healed and inspired
I was a year older than Jesus, age 33
Born and raised in the city of Zebedee!
Jesus is love, faith of a mustard seed, Jesus is love! But you gotta believe, But you gotta believe!!!
They call me doubting Thomas
I didn’t know that Jesus was alive, I promise!
Until I saw and touched his wounds
Outside of his tomb
I followed Jesus into Judea, spreading the Gospel
Picked by God’s son, how is it possible?
That I still have doubt?
I was 29, four kids, with a spouse, when I joined the team
I’m the skeptic of the group, proof needed to be seen! Proof needed to be seen!!
Bartholomew aka Nathanael, before Philip introduced me
Jesus knew I was Israeli, spotted me under a fig tree!
I was the joker of the group, quick with wit or a joke
I also took care of all the Apostle’s families, that's just a footnote
I was cool with all the Apostles, except for Judas
When he betrayed Jesus, I told y’all he’d do this!!!
I’m Matthew aka Levi,
A dishonest Tax guy
When Jesus said follow me, I didn’t even ask why
I immediately stopped collecting taxes
From dawn to dusk, to ashes to ashes
The Pharisees dissed Jesus because he invited me to dinner
Accused him of eating with a tax collector and other sinners
Jesus replied nonchalantly, with this sentence
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance
John Zebedee, at 24 I’m the youngest of the group
First on scene during Easter with the scoop
The only one who didn’t abandon Jesus at his trial?
But even I also betrayed Him after awhile
But Judas did it for 30 Silver, zero Gold and Platinum
What will our legacy be in two or so millennium?
Jesus of Nazareth by way of Bethlehem
When I return, I fully expect to see you fam
Taught y’all to be fishers of men
But none of you were with me at the end
All alone, shooting free throws in the gym
But y’all sang my praises and helped celebrate the win
When I died, God forgave all sin
Hindsight’s 20/20, had I to do it all again
Probably would have chosen 12 women over men
The message was hijacked when men twisted facts with a pen
My lessons were never meant to conquer and enslave
Divide and massacre, why won’t you people behave?
I died so humanity would have it made
No sacrifices just belief whenever they prayed
Love y’all, but I had to flame this track
Thought y’all had bars, honestly they kinda wack!
After 30+ miracles, most don’t believe in salvation
You only need faith as small as a mustard seed, but time is wasting...
