“King’s Tongue Sticking Out”

Verse 1
They hold on tight to the purse, oh man,
Gripping that dollar with a trembling hand,
Claiming faith but chained by gold,
The gospel waits while the crown takes hold.

Chorus
Holdin’ on so tight, the King’s tongue stickin’ out,
Can’t let go of mammon, but the gospel’s what it’s ’bout.
Jah call the true disciples, to gift and spread the Word,
But they clutchin’ Caesar’s silver, while the Spirit go unheard.

Verse 2
Resentin’ to part with what they can’t keep,
While treasures in heaven lay buried deep,
Paul walked free with an empty plate,
But a heart on fire, never knew the weight.

Bridge
Oh, Matthew say you can’t serve two,
Christ or mammon, what you gonna do?
One hand givin’, the other hand closed,
The narrow way’s life, but the broad way’s gold.

Chorus
Holdin’ on so tight, the King’s tongue stickin’ out,
Can’t let go of mammon, but the gospel’s what it’s ’bout.
Jah call the true disciples, to gift and spread the Word,
But they clutchin’ Caesar’s silver, while the Spirit go unheard.

Verse 3
Liquidate the estate, let the poor man eat,
Bring the Word to the streets with dancin’ feet,
Forsake it all, as the Master say,
For the kingdom comin’ is a brighter day.

Outro (chant style)
Free up your hands, don’t bind your soul,
Let go the dollar, let Christ take control.
Free up your hands, don’t bind your soul,
Gift to the gospel, make the broken whole.
