about

People always try to speak like they have authority. Whether it be their own "knowledge" or whether it be hearsay. Even some people venture to say that "God" authorized their message. However, what does the true authority say about it? God's word is the ultimate authority. If what someone says doesn't match. They Don't Know a Thing #TDKAT

lyrics

Verse 1:
Struggle to understand why they think authority lies
with them, but its celibate, it ain't promiscuous
Obscured the truth with that thinking
I look but I ain't blinking
I see what they doing, I'm seeing right through it
They read a verse mis-used it, or head it from the pulpit
saying "God is love" so they get with who they wanna
no standard or no judgement they just doing with they wanna
She got a girl, he got a man, their happiness is God's plan
Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Hold up, Wiz Khalifa
I know that got redundant but the truth is you are sleeping
You can't claim to know the truth and be opposed to it
the tree of knowledge looks nice, but where the fruit produced at
truth is, it ain't there. You ain't got the Spirit
Hands over your ears, when I'm talking you can hear it
So i fear that its lies, lies you are spreading
But you keep it 100 and don't know the Truth
How you keep it 100 but you don't know the Truth

Hook:
They talk about this, they talk about that
They talk about this and they talk about that
They talk about this, they talk about that
But Ummm
They Don't Know a Thing x8

Verse 2:
They got so much things to say right now feeling mic'ed up like old school Warren
Feeling Sappy, got so much to say but they unplugged like Lauryn
Warning signs flashing
They have no traction
No roots in the ground, so tampering with the word
and it all falls down
They talk about God but get his name outcha mouth
That ain't my Lord, I don't know what you're talking about
You think that God is holy but he don't oppose sin?
You approve the actions the Lord is blatantly against
Wrath coming down hard, local and abroad
But you'd rather bag a broad, hmmm exactly what you "thot"
Don't abuse his grace, you know that stuff ain't cheap
Killed his son for your lifestyle, but you dont want to flee,
Them lustfuls and them cupfuls, them sexually immorals
He took the stripes to change that, took the cross to hang that
and you seen them nails, what he do?, he paid that

Hook

Bridge
They say the Lord sayeth, but they don't hear him speaking
their passions and desires, that is what they're seeking
Assert their own truth, not the word of God folk
they talk about it, but they don't know a thing though x2
