catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them Pastry's Cruisin' down 8th St., off white Lexus drivin' so slow, but BK is from Texas Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me Say what's up to Ty-Ty, still sippin' mai tai's sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five Nigga I be Spike'd out, I could trip a referee Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from. since I made it here I can make it anywhere, yea, they love me everywhere I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicano's right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's Took it to my stashbox, 560 State St. We believe that every believer in Jesus Christ should feel great concern for the spiritual well-being of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, but they should also cringe at these anti-Christian lyrics.Yea I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in TriBeCa right next to Deniro, but I'll be hood forever I'm the new Sinatra, and. It is our prayer that they were saved by Jesus. This anthem: Empire State of Mind does neither them nor their memory honor. We continue to pray for the families of those that lost loved ones on 9/11 in that senseless, heinous act of terrorism. This deception is aimed at scores of impressionable and well-meaning devotees of Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Recognizing that this struggle is not directly with Jay-Z, but with ".spiritual wickedness in high places", namely Lucifer, who has transformed himself into an angel of light. Those that might be considering turning to Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation will take pause of that decision, considering the disdain that this popular artist has for Jesus and his power to save. These words are not harmless nor innocuous, the fact that both Jay-Z and Alicia Keys have such vast audiences and powerful platforms, makes the above mentioned statements all the more destructive and confusing to both young and old alike. ".Hail Mary to the city, you're a Virgin,Īnd Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church ends." Two lines in particular fly in the face of the mission of Jesus Christ and the message of His Holy Spirit. The song, Empire State of Mind from the album Blue Print 3, that is currently climbing the charts and has over 7,000,000 views on You Tube contains lyrics that are indisputably anti-Christian.
With that said, we draw your attention to an insidious and dangerous song by the Hip Hop musical icon and multi-platinum artist Jay-Z. Proverbs 13:10 However, Jude 1:3 instructs us to ".earnestly contend for the faith." The difference in these two actions is profound. We believe and endeavor to promote the Biblical injunction of ".speaking the truth in love."Īs a core value, we shun contention, because the Word of God declares that, only by pride comes contention. LIBAW, real life in Christ does not practice nor condone statements that denigrate individuals or organizations, even if we may disagree with an action, attitude or philosophical ideology.
