This is the first video from Kerusso Music, a small, new, independent label with big plans to glorify God. This song, from the free mixtape The New Ant Diddley (available for free at kerussomusic.com) chronicles his journey from East Oakland gangsta rapper to man of God. In a society where people want to remove God, A. Doulos has decided to make an anthem touting the Bible. Contact A. Doulos at kerussomusic@gmail.com. Scroll down for lyrics

INTRO
A. Doulos.
Kerusso.
Home of the Public Proclaimers.
Amen.
Some of you knew Ant Diddley
Listening, saying ‘Man this is the new Ant Diddley’
Jesus put out His hand so He can use Ant Diddley
But a part of His plan was remove Ant Diddley

VERSE 1
Now, I got the good news in me
snoozing on the truth was just too risky
He found struggling huddling under fig leaves
But now I’m loving the covenant and the mysteries
But I’m seeing pseudo spiritual folk
With psychoanalytical and political quotes
My transformation was just too radical
Not a standard equation, not mathematical
But the manifold grace of God escapes the wise and intelligent
And flies by like a pelican
In Him is no lying and embellishment
Listen to the Scripture, get invited to the fellowship
His truth is proof, never mind the modern man
Get right, get sight, get inside the Potter’s hand
Let Him shape you, mold you and teach you
Jesus is the key to reprieve and release you

CHORUS
Yeah. I got Bible for it
Why you keep talkin ’bout grace?
I got Bible for it
Why you be walkin by faith?
I got Bible for it
Now how ’bout you?
I got Biiiiible
How could you say it’s one church?
I got Bible for it
Why you be putting Christ first?
I got Bible for it
Why did you need to get immersed?
I got Bible for it
Now how ’bout you?
I got Biiiiible

VERSE 2
OK the Bible is not your typical reading material
Stuffed with scientific theories and fictional fluff
It’s that trustworthy reason to get up early
seeking to see who Jesus is
and what His bleeding did
I was dirty ’til I got exposed to these letters
by Joel and Buetta now my devotion’s forever
So those who endeavor to shout critical cursings
without actually searching is a little disturbing
You got to be thirsty for righteousness
Denying idol worship and divisiveness
Because the serpent’s got diversions and his goal is to murder
You with perversions like ol’ school Persia
You’ve got to get this Word in so your soul don’t burn up
Then you can get to serving like the church at Smyrna
This is the new wine designed for new leather
From Jesus the True Priest who speaks with a two-edger

CHROUS

VERSE 3
I remember hitting Swishers and sipping pitchers of gin
Stricken with sin, now I’m flipping scriptures with fishers of men
And I’m on a mission like Sam and Froto floating on a row boat
Committed to fishing with the written Logos
And no I ain’t entertaining profane and vain babblings
No more Cat in the Hat or Jack and his magic beans
Miss me with them fantasies and them lame magazines
Listen to His Majesty, Jesus the Nazarene
Search the profits and what the apostles wrote
Our sin sickness can’t be fixed with a doctor’s note
The prescription is written in the pages of inspiration
The Physician’s Omniscient and gives grace to the repentant patient
Take a look at the book that explains the plan
of redemption, and the vindication of man
The last visitation of Christ is when He comes back for the church
So before you go back to the dirt you need book, chapter and verse

CHORUS

All scripture is given by inspiration of God
And is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works. It is written.
