[Verse]
Some Apostles gathered round me
and Jesus walked up the hill
He wasn't lookin happy
Stepped right into my grill
"What the devils gotten into ya?"
He sprayed into my eye
" there ain't no where to put them"
"Gonna say this one more time"
[Chorus]
Thou shalt not be a nibbler
Tryna paint the corner red
And blessed be the hurlers
Who bring the heat instead
Walk not, and thou shalt not be sent walking
Obey your brothers sign and let your fast ball do the talking
I remember them words so profound
It was The Sermon on The Mound
[Verse repeats]
Well, Jesus turned the other cheek
And headed back to the bench
Every bone was shakin
My uniform was drenched
The devil tried to tempt me
said "the curve ball is the pitch"
And Jesus barked back at him
"Well now, ain't that rich?"
[Chorus repeats]
Thou shalt not be a nibbler
Tryna paint the corner red
And blessed be the hurlers
Who bring the heat instead
Walk not, and thou shalt not be sent walking
Obey your brothers sign and let your fast ball do the talking
I remember them words so profound
It was The Sermon on The Mound
[Verse repeats]
Then Like a prodigal son
I was back in good grace
caught a Pharoah lookin
You shoulda seen his face
Reporters had a field day
With their version of the truth
Some called me "the messiah"
Don't put me in that booth
[Bridge]
Cause, yall thought John the Baptist
Held the key to the Promised land
But Jesus is the answer
It is written by his hand
[Chorus repeats]
Thou shalt not be a nibbler
Tryna paint the corner red
And blessed be the hurlers
Who bring the heat instead
Walk not, and thou shalt not be sent walking
Obey your brothers sign and let your fast ball do the talking
I remember them words so profound
It was The Sermon on The mound
