    The Symptoms- lyrics.
    I’ve been diagnosed with this condition.
    And it’s so severe that sinners can’t make contact without contracting some type of conviction.
    Shhhh… listen.
    I know I’m not trippin’ but ever since I repented it’s like I became schizophrenic.
    I started hearing this voice… this this… voice, and I know that sounds crazy, and it told me to commit suicide.
    So I die daily, it’s not easy.
    I don’t even know how long this thermometer has been resting under my tongue to measure my jungle fever
    but man, I swear… this bright white light within loves to unclothe and penetrate the darkest atmospheres
    and only God knew the task He would a sinus (assign us) had pressure.
    But actually it was his raw passion that activated my allergies til eventually I sneezed praise and God blessed me.
    See when I was healthy in sin I thought I was super man.
    Even though I knew God could read between the lines in my paper thin mind, the extent of this thing had me paralyzed.
    When you stop feeling yourself pretty soon you’ll see you stop masturbating with life.
    That’s how I stopped doing me. I began to do God’s will.
    Even though it took away my ability to walk in darkness occasionally I’m sure my soul's relieved of carrying the weight of me.
    See God has allowed me to navigate this life with a blue handicap sign on my rear view for 2 reasons:
    1. Cause every time I look back I acknowledge my weakness.
    2. Because it was hung up, I believe I was given the privilege of parking closer to the entrance of His kingdom.
    see It wasn’t until now that I was ever able to understand the value of being fed through a tube
    'til I realized that I only consumed the essential nutrients for survival without the additives.
    It might not be what I prefer but it’s exactly what I need.
    His words have become my meat so I eat til His presence becomes so obese and I can no longer see da feet (defeat).
    I must remind you, they told me that the day I would get saved would be the day that pigs fly and then I caught “swine flew (flu)” so it’s whatever…
    You know, God reigns even in the midst of my storm so it makes sense why I’m always under the weather.
    And I’m not getting better see after chilling with the coolest creator it’s like I developed pneumonia.
    He’s so omniscient, He knew this world would be crazy so he made it bi-polar.
    That’s why my love for him declares war against sin - I mean, literally.
    My cardiac is armed and strapped, you think terrorists are bad… you’ve never seen a heart attack.
    See when I learned that obedience to scriptures was sin’s answer, I stopped being ashamed of my skin cancer;
    cause why wouldn’t my flesh be destroyed with so much exposure to the Son (sun)?
    And I’m not done.
    you see this Osteoporosis got my spine curved so I bow in reverence of Christ’s holy name see on earth.
    He taught me to also carry my cross just so I could fathom joint pain.
    See, if I must glory, I do so in my infirmities.
    You see, my very existence is bed ridden on the grace of God.
    Without him how could I breathe? He’s my living oxygen machine.
    These prayers, i mean these IV's they've connected me to the source.
    And it’s funny how much more important life! how much more important eternity, how much more important eternity has become now that i'm living on life support.
    The significance of me living as if I incurred a terminal sickness is that it guarantees me consistent visits and extensive attention from the physician.
    so I guess it’s no wonder why I’m dying to be the sickest.
    “For whosoever shall save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of Christ will find it.”
    Therefore, if the world caused this ill, I don’t wanna find a vaccination.
    If I could I would reproduce with every oxygen atom making this disease air-borne just to infect the nations.
    And yes, he was bruised for our iniquities, and by his stripes we were healed which only means that He was whipped so that we wouldn't be sick from.
    But he died… so that we would be sick of i said He was whipped so that we wouldn't be sick from.
    But he died… so that we would be sick of, sick of the lust that nurses our infidelity sick of the pride that doctors our false identity.
    Sick of every transgression prescribed by hell which helps us to recover ourselves with the veil of sin until we feel well in iniquity and no, I’m not promoting physical illness.
    But if our reasonable service is to live as a sacrifice then I’ll rather live as if I’m before death.
    Before death.
    Than regret where I spend my after life.
    After life.
    And if you’re ever tested and the results come back positive that you’re a Christian, then answer this question honestly…
    what exactly are your symptoms?
