| Somebody say boldness. |
| The Bible says in Proverbs 28, verse 1, |
| "The Righteous shall be bold like a lion, |
| Bold like a lion, |
| Bold like a lion. |
| The Righteous shall be bold like a lion." |

| What is a real V.I.P.? |
| Do we have the balls to go to that party? |
| Or would do we rather dance with vanity? |
| Tell me now what's a real V.I.P? |
| |
| And Who are we to give that name to us |
| When we don't know the lives of others |
| When we can barely raise a finger, |
| To help our own sisters and brothers? |
| |
| Wasn't it in history. |
| The artists always spoke their people's needs? |
| Now we're gorged upon what devils feed |
| In the shallow form of MTV. |
| |
| Telling the youth to worship futile dreams. |
| And long for bling and for material things. |
| I tell you what a really real V.I.P is. |
| A face that never was nor will be kissed. |
| |
| To whom exactly are we giving hope, |
| When we stand behind the velvet rope, |
| Getting Or get our pictures taken with the pope |
| Like some sick April fool kind of joke? |
| |
| Who is the reallly, really, real V.I.P? |
| The One, the true and the most conquering king, |
| Who looks around at everything, |
| And knows exactly what we've been? |
| |
| His is the face that never was nor will be kissed. |
| Do we think we'll be down on his guest list, |
| When we're standing at the gate, |
| After being fashionably late? |
| |
| There'll be no make-up and there'll be no film crews , |
| No Vuitton bags and no Manolo shoes |
| When he's presiding over you, |
| Asking you, "Did you love only you?" |
| Or did you stand for something else, |
| Besides the hankering for fame and famousness fame itself ? |
| The one who always was and always is |
| Will show you what a real V.I.P is: |
| The fatherless, |
| The motherless, |
| The ravaged child at home |
| Who cried to you. |
| You will be asked to say |
| What did you do. |
| |
| What is And what's behind this velvet curtain? |
| Don't know, but I can say for certain: |
| The face that never was nor will be kissed |
| Will tell you what a real V.I.P is. |
| |
| How can you say we are wise and we possess the instruction of the Lord? |
| Certainly for nothing your pens have labored, for nothing your writers have written. |
| The wise will be put to shame. See? They reject the word of the Lord, |
| So their wisdom amounts to nothing. |
| They dress the wounds of my poor people, as though they are nothing. |
| Saying, "Peace, peace!" when there's no peace. |
| Saying, "All is well," when nothing is well. |
| |
| Glory be to the father and to the son and to the Holy Spirit, |
| As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, |
| World without end, oh, yeah! |
