Twisted : Ridiculous Mercy…Guilty but justified…
Stage One
I woke on that morning, not sure what day it was
I was the night before; it was just I and Denise
Now this was the issue,
You better get out some tissue
Cos the story is full of gloom
It could mess up your mood
I was drunk and stoned
When Alicia had phoned
She was screaming at me, wondering who I was out with
Well couldn’t respond, cos Denise would have my throat slit
See Alicia had left her father just to be with me through any weather
Her brother, Dread, had said no that he’d first be dead for us to be together
Her father was a preacher, and Alicia sang in his Choir
He said since I, an unbeliever, I was headed for hell fire
Dread on the other hand, was the kind referred to as lukewarm
Neither hot or cold, but Alicia was burning hot, till I brought some chill
So now she had stayed out in the cold, as the old man shut the doors,
She hated any who hated me and loved any who loved me
So against all odds, we got wed in the courts.
Now here is the twist, Dread was married to Denise
Yet Denise kept flashing me the green
Now this tempter be a dark queen
Now with her, I can’t help but be mean
Be faithful? Ha! I wish I could I would but I can’t and so I won’t
How could this be said? That I dated wife of my wife’s big brother?
Stage Two
Well back to that night, I still had the secret under control
But it was burning me deep down, when I answered the call
I could hear Alicia cry even though I was high
When she got off the phone, it was Denise’s turn to nag
I couldn’t understand cos at least she knew I was married
So we got in a little fight, though the club was really tight
It wasn’t long before Dread came in the door
The bouncers tried to push us out, but Dread had a gun
It was helter-skelter and everybody was scattered
Hocus-pocus, it’s my turn to focus,
But I was blank as my heart sank, when I saw Alicia through the flying planks
It’s like the time stopped, and the silence was loud
I found myself amidst the crowd in my dark little cloud
As the bullet railed from Dread’s gun, it seemed like hours as it covered the distance
And bang it hit the temples, it wasn’t mine, it was Alicia’s
I remember asking myself what she was doing here taking my bullets,
I covered my face cos she’s died in my place
So how could it be said, that brother killed sister cos sister’s husband be dating brother’s wife?
Stage Three
Then the police came, but Dread wouldn’t go easy
At this point my head was clear though I still felt a little dizzy
I was flat faced on the floor, very close to the door
The silence grew louder, as the gunshots came out faster
It rained blood in the club, and then finally it stopped
I couldn’t believe when I saw that Dread too was dead.
How could it be said, that brother killed sister, and brother got killed, all cos sisters husband be dating brother’s wife?
Stage four
So when I awoke, I prayed that night was a dream
But with the blood on my shirt, I knew it was as bad as it did seem
Knock! Knock! On my door
Twas Alicia’s father the preacher
I couldn’t look him in the face
Cos I just took his son and his daughter
Tears streamed down my cheeks and there I knew I aint no more doing chicks
I begged for his forgiveness but he gave me much more
He forgave me and gave me a hug and then he told me of the Lord
I couldn’t understand, how could he stand to talk to me let alone to hug me
At that point everything he said, I heard and I believed
I prayed to the Lord and asked for his mercy
I accepted him into my heart and determined to live a good life
Stage five
Now two months had gone by, and am still in the most High
Now Denise was angry cos Dread was dead
Not cos she loved her husband, but cos he was rich
Now that he is gone he left her nothing in the will
I aint into her no more, cos I am into the Lord
She blamed me for it all, and sought some revenge
I knew I did some wrong, but twas definitely not to Denise
So on this hot Sunday afternoon, I had a great time in church, as I crossed the road to get in my car
I saw the black Mercedes pulling just by mine
As the windows rolled down, I knew it wasn’t all fine
Before I knew it, it rained bullets on me
I couldn’t feel the pain; I just knew the lights went out
Suddenly all was dark, and then all was bright
Stage 6: The court
I stood before the lord, and now I had to give accounts
The accuser spoke first of the all the wrong that I did
I lied and I cheated and I made the Lord bleed
His speech came to a climax when he blamed me for Dread being in Hell
At this point I was ready to say, yeah I did this and that I ought to be with Dread in Hell
As I opened my mouth to speak the master’s hands shut my lips,
Let him speak for himself the accuser said
The master said, who is this that condemns, it I who died, I who was raised and lives making intercessions on his behalf Romans 8:34
On my behalf he started quoting from the books, and got the point where he said I already paid before
Take it easy the accuser said, I think you got it wrong this time
But master said, just in case you’ve forgotten I was wounded, and bruised for their iniquity, having blotted out all the handwriting f the wrong against him and nail them to the cross Colossians 2:14
Oh no the accuser said, just listen to yourself, he is an alien to the truth
Have you not read? Said the master, ye who were once aliens have been drawn near through the blood Ephesians 2:13
But the wages of sin is death, the accuser went on,
But the gift of God is life eternal…quote the whole scripture, Romans 6:23 the master replied
But the soul that sinneth shall die, the accuser cried out
Having died with Christ shall we not also live with him Roman 6:8 the master ditched out
Oh no, this is not fair the accuser cried out
Who shall lay any charge against the lord’s elect; it is I who justifies Romans 8:33
Now being justified by faith he shall have peace with God Romans 5:1
It all got to its climax when the Jesus said
Now Satan, have read about what happened to he that accuses the brethren? Revelation 12:10, for the accuser of the brethren shall be cast down!!!!
And now am in heaven writing this story,
For you there on earth, to know it’s not mere history
Believe and receive him, then you shall see his glory
How could it be said, that Dread in Hell cos of me, and I in heaven cos of Mercy!!!
Ridiculous mercy, cos I was guilty, but I’m justified!!!
