DOES JESUS RAP?

Does Jesus rap?  The mere mention of Jesus Christ associated with rap and hip hop is surely a strange combination.  I can't really say that Jesus rapped before but I can say that the possibility is unlikely.  However, a Christian rapper, the "Ambassador" from the Christian rap group, The CROSS MOVEMENT, wrote a rap where Jesus is rapping.  The song is called "When it's on in the Whirlwind" and it's a really good rhyme.  It is on the Ambassador's solo album, Christology in Laymen's Terms,  Here it is:

WHEN IT'S ON IN THE WHIRLWIND
Written by William Branch (Ambassador)

Verse 1:

Let’s all meet, God to earth, feel the raw heat

Bow the knee, give Me props hip hop to Wall Street

The King, but I don’t dream I decree things

I’m Supreme and My shekinah beams

Out the whirlwind I’m vexed so I jet through the porthole

Of time and appointment where divine meets the mortal

You darkeneth my counsel without an ounce of knowledge

The Bible is the food for your soul not your collards

I’m triune in my Person and my tactics

One in my essence, mentally you can’t hack this

I’m so divine I can blow your mind with a mystery

My incarnation was an invasion into history

I put a human suit on and played it low key

Thirty-three years of blood, sweat and tears now you owe Me

Capital Son of God saves, three days in the grave, then I was raised

From the earth I was "Swaze"

Sent My third Person to get with ya, fix ya

Get ya right, shed some light, illuminate My Scripture

I’ve got the word that bara’s exnihilo---

Creates something out of nothing now let’s see you go

Toe to toe, with the master Architect and Sculptor

Of the planet, of the people, even of its culture

I rule, earth is My footstool

Heaven can’t contain My frame, I’m sovereign and I can put fools

On their back, the fact is you’ll stand before Me

I’m coming’ for My props, you’ll stop, drop and glorify

I the sovereign God who be hurlin’

Storms that I form when it’s on in the whirlwind.

CHORUS

Kneel---When it’s on in the whirlwind

Tell me how it feels---when it’s on in the whirlwind

Do you know the deal---when it’s on in the whirlwind

You’ve got to keep it real—when it’s on in the whirlwind  

Verse 2:

Secular is regular it’s never the new flava in your ear

Cause you neglect steps to meet the Savior of the year

Your platinum hits be lackin’ sense so I sensor

Your whole jam, I’m swole man, I am the inventor

Of all music, who’s it all about in the this universe

I search earth to comfort all your human hurts

How much can a God flirt?

How can it be post flood humanity keeps handing Me dirt

Well I’m sick of this atheistic way you be kickin’ this

Gift I gave, you’re getting paid for your wickedness

Even gave you videos to flaunt Me, but you don’t even want Me

You only do the things that disappoint Me

My grace you waste but when it runs dry

Your heart is My target and I always hit bulls-eye

You didn’t learn from Lucifer so I’m shootin’ ya

In the heart with a dart, told you they were supin’ ya

So I’m bootin’ ya like this, you thought I was a myth

Thought I was blowing smoke like a spliff

But I’m not mocked, take a look around your block

Check Me out, earth shouts, the creation gives Me props

You’re dust, but My eternal thrust and force

Keeps seas behind the doors and the earth on course

Why do rains pour and the winds roar?---Now buss it

How do you make a universal flood?---Let’s discuss it

Or what about the formula for gravity, let’s have it see

Your human mind is raggedy compared to My majesty

So radically My double edged sword swings

Strong breasted iron chested raw King of all kings

Is not looking for a halo, but neither should you lay low

Just let My redeemed people say so

And I’ll be the sovereign God Who be hurlin’

Storms that I form when it’s on in the whirlwind

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 3:

As I rip it, you hear the word flow so come and sip it

Then go toast, because the Logos is being lifted

You I gifted, but Satan sifted, now you’re twisted

I came in a human frame and you missed it

What’s my name? Still the same---all Hail

The I Am, watching’ man with his train off rail

I stand, Jehovah Nissi come seek me the Banner

I’m no joke, plus I make a dope loaf of manna

Hosanna! Victory is mine, I’m preeminent

Supreme, Mr. Clean, but you be unregenerate

And a sinner at your core, more to die for

But I poured my blood so all come through my door

And there’s only one it’s the Son---God and human

And I’m gonna come at the trump glory boomin’

Pruning, I’ve got the sword, all aboard or on the floor

Yall confess me as LORD

You heard Me clearly, I never stutter, I’m butta

Demons shutter, because I’m God, there’s no other

I’ve gotta win, cause I’m the God of men

Rejecting Me is suicidal I’m more vital than your oxygen

For lots of men it’s My glory they’re after

Kill that, come on get caught up in the rapture

I’m the Master and since I’m faster I run this

Planet and it takes a coequal oneness of Me’s---Father, Son, and Holy Breeze

Who can get with these three’s now check My degrees

I’m the L-O-R-D all caps and for

More on this get with the Ambassador

Though I’m hardcore, My love goes far more

Than my tongue, cause My Son hung on a "bar" for

Mankind, understand I’m not religious

But I’m in the business of providing forgiveness

Long live this trinity, I curse the enemy

Yet I bless the man that’s in ministry

You want a magician then look for Merlin

But if you want God I’m getting it on in the whirlwind

REPEAT CHORUS
