Don't forget that the body talks

You've got to watch what you say with your body parts

We're in a day where they display the body art

But don't forget about the blaze that the body sparks (the body talks)

 

Don't forget that the body talks

You've got to watch what you say with your body parts

We're in a day where we display the body art

But don't forget about the blaze that the body sparks (the body talks)

 

Verse 1

Now I’m about to build a case like a lawyer

I need grace ‘cause I’m a face heat like broiler

 

But I assure ya, I'm for ya

Represent the only God who would die and he's not Sawyer

 

I'll slow it down I'm a walk for ya

You've been goin' round lettin' the round parts of the body talk for ya

 

It’s a sad state of affair

I’m aware with the rear

Some of y’all have gone and made a career

 

Nobody is seeking a hottie that's highly indecent

Except when they wanna use the hottie for obvious reasons

 

Please know you're body be speakin'

I’m not talking about the kind of body talk you get from out of Ephesians

 

I'm talking about the kind you hear on the ave

Where starers be at
They sit back and “mack” just to stare at your back

 

I wanna help but it's in the blood stream of the culture

And some you queens are so mean I can even approach ya

 

Hook

 

Verse 2

Most women have care in their genes

Where’s the care you killin' us today the way you're wearing those jeans

 

A few of us really care for the king

We’ve got to fight when you're in sight

For other men staring's no thing

 

Well don't look then

Well sis, I wasn't lookin'

But if I’ve gotta nose can I help smellin' the cookin'

 

I know you can blame it on the weakness of men

But the weakness is made weaker when we see your skin

 

Don't mean to offend but somebody needs to contend for sensitivity

Ok yeah the reason is sin

 

I'm not fakin' believe me

You’re not makin' it easy

And I’m able to see the

Plot of Satan for sheezy

He's got us thinkin' it's easy

To watch the things on the TV

Then control the soul which gets inflamed when it sees these

 

Women who seem to think their body is free

Save it for your husband or maybe you’re husband to be

 

Verse 3

 

You're probably thinking I’m not any fun

Consider girl we're in a world where if you're 12 you look 21

 

Men teach your sons when he's young

Or when slimmy comes he'll feed the sweet tooth he has for her "sinny-bun"

 

You know the logic—girls flaunt it cause they've got it

We want a project, yeah we wonder, "Could we knock it?"

 

Sorry brothers I’m unpackin' the plan

Sorry mothers we love ya but we learn to mack from a man

 

Relationships we see are quick—a flash in the pan

Marriages that stick are few—like Blacks in Japan

 

Big bottoms have got a lot of men trapped in a trance

Their flesh causing lots of interest like cash in advance

 

If that was your plan it worked because you're all that

But all that says to us is that you might be faster than a corvette

Listen ladies I implore you to be pure if not read Isaiah 3:16-3:24 but don't

This song is just a fun song that is geared to lightly sprinkle some theological and social considerations regarding Hip-Hop. It journeys from Hip-Hop’s beginning to its rise. It then looks at Hip-Hop’s power and impact on the current generation and counters popular hip-hop messages with morals that may be considered old fashion. Even still Ambassador promises that he and his type of rapper can get “headz” open.
Christian ministers do a lot of defending their faith and laboring to convey deep biblical convictions. This song was an attempt to lighten up and express the elation that believers experience when they are free from some of the vices that plague most cities. Sin is pleasurable for a season, but real freedom is pleasurable for an eternity. The Ambassador teams up with label mate Da T.R.U.T.H and crooning duo S.O.U.L for a festive expression of thanks to the God that freed them.
This is a meant to be a somewhat comical address to those hip hoppers who misbehave proudly. It encourages them to stop smoking, gun-toting, and paper chasing, and start hungering and thirsting for truth. The song also acknowledges God’s ability to use the hardcore rap and rapper to convey his single gospel message.
