So in Matthew 1 and 1 and on to verse 17,
We see His lineage and trace way back into time
That legally He was fine in the Davidic line
And genealogically He's still King of the Jews
Cause the Book of Luke exposes genetical clues
See a true King though He didn't do it in the physical,
He brought a new covenant to free 'em in the spiritual.
And after sometime, Wise men from the east came looking
For the new born king in the streets
I know some of you dudes may cruise a 4Runner
But Christ had the dude He used as a forerunner
And no promoter gunna cut it like the John the Baptist.
You need publicity stunts so you datin' an actress
A real King has somebody bringin' the news
That his kingdom's ahead and they ain't fit to lace up his shoes
So tell me who's the one anointing all these so called kings?
They all self proclaimed and man, that's a dangerous thing.

PLUS:
It started from a conversation with Ev when we were leaving for Glendo in June. I still don't know how to balance politics and God, but as you can see, it's on my mind a lot lately. As Rachel and I mapped out a couple weeks ago, we've got it all wrong trying to be like other nations by going and establishing a king for ourselves (We went through the kings and highlighted the few of the 40 who were actually doing right in the eyes of the Lord). Then Christ comes and talks about the kingdom of God and it just throws everything out of whack. His way is different, and as written in the first part of this book, "God would save the world through fascination, by setting up an alternative society on the margins of empire for the world to come and see what a society of love looks like."
Any way, the point was bringing these two things (the lyrics and the book) together and saying that my mind is overloaded and it is awesome!
