The Shepherd Lyrics

The good seed fell on good soil

Work the ground

How much more will I toil?

The path is unavoidable

Get some rest, boy, I need a breather

And even though it's pouring outside

The sun shines on the good and evil

As a kid, I grew amongst the weeds

Never had all that I need

But what I got was free

To anyone who wants to buy it cheaper

I just tell them follow the leader

The greatest in the kingdom is the servant

The servant can't surpass the master

Somebody tell the pastor

I'm not trying to get past them

I'm just trying to outlast them

Some, they try to outclass them

But they fail to teach ya

Yet, their lies are so see-through

I'm just here, tryna reach ya

Before it gets deeper

And the way back becomes steeper

No one can serve two masters

That path will lead to disaster

I'm not gonna let them be captured

No, I'm not gonna hold ya, nor trap ya

And I'm not gonna wait to be raptured

All the sheep find green pasture

When they're led by the shepherd

Everyone is looked after

Just make sure you're in step with

The sequence and method

Cause if the blind lead you

You're a dead man

They just set it up like we're separate

I'd say it's been effective

But that depends on how you measure it

Everything is relative

But nothing lasts forever

I had life before my birth

I took on this endeavor

I remember it clearly

And I wasn't tryna be clever

I know it's really now or never

So, we can't let up

No, not even to the letter

If I do it good, there's always better

The good seed fell on good soil

Work the ground

How much more will I toil?

The path is unavoidable

Get some rest, boy, I need a breather

And even though it's pouring outside

The sun shines on the good and evil

As a kid, I grew amongst the weeds

Never had all that I need

But what I got was free

To anyone who wants to buy it cheaper

I just tell them follow the leader
