the elder brother - christcentric lyrics

[verse 1]
uh, oh, trouble
you tried to cut it out
but you can’t cause it’s still on your face like stubble
you always had a bad poker face, why you look so irate?
man, it’s off the hook at my place
really? now i’m all confused, at the mansion
that’s silly, i thought i heard music and dancing
no confusion, that’s what concerns me
my considered dead brother’s back from his journey
we determined improbable
he’d come back, giving birth to the term the return of the prodigal
instead of stoning him at all, or disowning him appalled
is this pitching? dad’s throwing him a ball
you sounding all jealous hating
your brother went away but came back, isn’t that cause for the celebrating?
truly friend you’ve been affected
i’m no detective, but you’ll have to clue me in
don’t speak in his defense, you need to get the sense
of what transpired, the sequence of events
to dad he would stand looking clearly in his face
said he wanted an advance on his share of the estate
speaking all casually, instant liquidation
he was born after me, no hint of his relation
that’s hot extortion
yeah, i feel that, did you get some
yeah, i got a portion, that’s not important
he didn’t know the half of his arrogance
the only way to have dad’s inheritance is after him perishing
after his announcement, he took all his accounts from him
and made like a ball and bounced on him
he gave his property? indeed made a mockery
behaved improperly with debased debauchery
you’re kidding me! and had a spending spree on harlotry
symbolically, the epitome of idolatry
his bucks are gone in time, he finds
he left luxury longing to dine with swine
behind a severe famine, he hits some futility
now he returns as mr. humility
and in the distance, there of course the vandal
pop’s ran so hard he nearly lost his sandals
it seems you had a rough day
do you remember that big heffa? yeah
he became our buffet
and to top it off, check it man
i found out about the party like you
how? secondhand!
[spoken]
man, that’s crazy! i’m his faithful son and i have to find out about a party he’s throwing for my long lost brother from the hired help?
yeah, yeah, man, but, i mean, i understand that, but*
man, that’s just..
let me just, let me just offer you a, just like a different perspective on the situation, man
you’re gonna give me.. alright
just, just, just hear me out, man, just hear me out
go ahead, man

[verse 2]
now you’re the heir, firstborn
how about that? you’ve been here all along, yet appear to be gone
what makes me trip
you, he didn’t care to share nor inform evidence of no relationship
brother’s back from where he had been
you trash him, lacking compassion, in fact you act like you’d smash him
see the trouble, you’re part of the scandal
in not being big brother the godly example
what? no sibling rivalry, see?
i’m modeling before him a life you can applaud
but you’re living piously, me?
and honestly it’s flawed and not honoring the lord
you may find this as honor
kind of, to your mama and father living life minus the drama
big, i won’t treat it like that’s small no doubt
but look at you you got your chest all poked out
that hurt, i’m not an expert
but i’m not the one who wandered and squandered his net worth like that jerk
self centered your vicious shouts prove
how arrogant for you to make this about you
what?
you think you’re a saint? peep the picture i paint
you spit in the face of ridiculous grace
can it be x and o’s that you seek
as pop’s candidly ran to greet, exposing his feet
for his family, you know how it goes with our peeps (huh?)
dressing with modesty is reverence to god you see
death is the policy, cause to look again
because he loved him, he threw all caution to the wind
so don’t judge with your hate grudge
this ain’t love, this is great love, that’s not covered on pay stubs
it’s not earned, do you think he’s worthy
of course not!, that’s why it’s truly of mercy
[spoken]
man, i see you got a point, there, but man, i still feel like i got some grief, man
i understand that, man, i understand that
you know? but.. father?

[outro]
devoted son, you adhere swiftly
but you i’ve always had here with me
but now there’s a cause to resound
for your younger brother was lost but is found
devoted son, you adhere swiftly
but you i’ve always had here with me
but now there’s a cause to resound
for your younger brother was lost but is found
