[KRS-One]   Uhh! They don't wanna battle   They ain't ready for the battle, uh-uh, uh-uh (Temple of Hip-Hop)   Listen, listen, listen      [Chorus: repeat 2X]   Your spirit AIN'T READY   Your church AIN'T READY   Your bishop AIN'T READY   Your deacons AIN'T READY   Your choir AIN'T READY   Your ushers AIN'T READY   At the Temple of Hip-Hop   WE TEACH MANY!      [KRS-One]   Look! To all my people hurtin, all my people searchin   What we know for sure, God is always workin   Workin while you flirtin, workin while you jerkin   Workin while the world is turnin and these cities burnin   God is always workin, workin while you learnin   Workin while you ignorant and when you're not concernin   Christ consciousness, get that, got that   Spit that, rock that, hip that, hop that   You sniff that? Stop that, I give back and got back   Greedy? I'm not that, you needy for that shock rap   Slangin on the block rap, duckin where the cops at   I don't knock that, but Jesus done copped that   Not that man on the cross, it ain't like that   You must act like the son of God, that's where the lights at   Stop readin only and start bein show me   Like the resurrection I'll be back, they can't hold me      [Chorus]      [KRS-One]   One thing's for sure and believe it hurt   It's when the pastor ain't sure, and deceives the church   They don't know God's law, and can't see God at work   So when they see hip-hop, they push it to the back of the church   Like fig trees or figures they don't bear fruit   They gospel artists, still tryin to chase that loot   Hear the truth now, I come to enhance the light   They women of God, singin while they pants is tight?   They not hot! Really they, regular   They clothes they flows, all that, secular   What's the difference I could stay in the world and wild   if these church girls wear more makeup than Destiny's Child   Keep it real Christian, some of y'all liftin ain't likin   But this is the difference between a Christian and a Christ-ian   Stop readin only and start bein show me   Like the resurrection I'll be back, they can't hold me   .. listen, listen, listen      [Chorus]      [KRS-One]   Look! Spiritual minded, you must find it   Find your spirit and go deep inside it   This goes out to the Christ-ians listenin   This is the flow that, gospel's missin it's   urban inspirational rap   We got our own section in the record stores, in our own rack   We respect tradition, from the start   But we now know, the true word of God is written in our heart   We gotta say somethin to the streets kid!   All these churches surroundin the devil still ain't defeat it?   They the type to get down, I'm the type to get up   From "Criminal" to "Spiritual Minded", now raise your head up   Let me start, these rappers ain't got God in they heart   All they want is quick money, and a movie part   Let me begin - what, where, why or when   What's the use of double platinum if you're livin in sin   Hear the truth - how long you think you gonna last   rockin the mic, without havin to go back to class?   Now you're forced, to listen to the teacher outrap them   Yes there's life after platinum
