Who you think your playin with
If it's hot vote it hot and give God the glory. If it's not vote flop and blame me
If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame Mitch.
I'm Joe Johnson a local United Methodist Pastor. Before I felt God calling me into the ministry I thought I was going to be a rap artist. For 8 years I did nothing with music until my wife introduced me to a group called "The Gospel Gansters" in 1998. It was an eye opening experience. I was amazed to see people using rap for the glory of God. That day I picked up paper and pen and I haven't put it down yet.
Story behind the song
I wrote the song "Stop Playin" 6 years ago. I like the message, but it need to be updated. So I reworked it as "Who you think you playin with" Hope you like this version if you want to hear the original it is still on my music page
Lyrics
Who you think you playin with?
By Joseph Johnson
(Chorus)
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
Them games you play really must quit
And its obvious you don’t know who you playing with
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
Who you think you playin with
The Lord God is Almighty Omnipotent
And its obvious you don’t know who you playing with
Yo player on the corner making drug the deals
You think your fly with guns flashing grills and fancy wheels
You the man on the hustle, out there slanging Cain
But you ever stop to wonder why they give drugs them names
Cain is the name of the first murder
His killed his brother for anger, but you do it just for the dollars
Dope is the name they call someone dumb
Trying to get high,, but that aint your wings you wont fly son
Weed’s an unwanted plant that grows quickly full up
look tough for a minute but in the end it gets pulled up
You aint a entrapanue, your just dope muel
Is that you or your product that smells like manure?
so addicted, Dr Phil can’t even fix it
You think your getting high, your sinking in quicksand
call it what you want, whatever for you works
But you need to stop playing, before you get hurt
(Chorus) repeat
Rap Player why you to constantly cuss?
Is it a lack of respect or a lack of intelligence
I aint saying that words are bad they all have meaning
But you keep using the wrong words at the wrong times and its just obsene
Got a great beat, but all the cursing getting old
The radio sensors you so much your rap sounds like mois code
Don’t know what your saying, we got to keep quessing
Or mybe the cursing covers the fact that your song doesn’t have a message
You say it’s what people want, vulgarity sells
Well Narrows the way to heaven, broads the road to hell
You don’t talk about women with respect like you aught to
Call’em tricks and freaks, I pray they don’t say that bout your daughter
I aint a player hater, I’m a prayer sayer
So you keep playing now, but you gon pay later
A lock on your mouth is whats really needed
Cuz every time you speak you dig your hole a little deeper
(Chorus) repeat
And what about us Christians playing church
Aint tryin to be mean, but it seems the playin we dos the worst
we suppose to be the light, and Christ like
but How we gonna help save someone when all we do is fight
We fight about theology and Christology
We’re quick to condemn any one who disagrees and it all seems like hypocricy
Every time you turn around a church is splittin
Arguing over music, pews or how much the preachers gitten
Fighting Christian Organizations and other denominations
We spend more time fight Christians than time fighting Satan
It aint just a shame it’s a problem
And we need to repent on our knees and ask the Lord to help us solve’em
It’s hurting our witness of the Lord above
Like the song said they’ll know we are Christians by our love
You once was blind, but now can see, if you open your eyes
It God we’re playing against,- you better recognize
(Chorus) repeat
