Teacher?

Teacher? Lyrics

Hook 2X

Who's been teaching you

Who's been reaching you

Come over here

God's people want to speak to you



Who's been schooling you

Hope they ain't fooling you

It's too late to wait till the wake

Or the funeral



Verse 1

We say no to godlessness

Hasn't the grace been given

Haven't we plugged into God

Who's got major wisdom



When we pray—yeah

We pray for wisdom to make decisions

As we copy Christ like plagiarism

Blameless Christians—we weren't made to fit in



This world wasn't made to live in

It's kind of like a vacation spot—truly

Satan's plot is to fill the world with things

That leave you empty like a vacant lot



This world is cruel—thugs hate the cops

Your hate for God is why you're doing wrong

Don't try to blame your pops

You got a point—he didn't have to forsake the house



And leave you in charge when all you had

Was money from your paper route

Now you sell—thugs trying to take you out

Christ's trying to take you out



But when He speaks—it's like you duct tape His mouth

Can't fake Him out—God over Jacob's house

Come on and learn

What doin' it for Christ's sake's about



Hook 2X



Verse 2

Who's been teaching you

Is it Jesus Christ the assigned teacher or Satan the substitute

Who's teaching you how to love your boo

And cultivate healthy family relationships like the Huxtables



Who's teaching you purpose and life—how to submerge in the light

Going from a pervert at night to a servant of Christ and

Telling you and you and why you exist

Are they telling you how to submit to God—and do more than just honor lips



Who's teaching you

What it means to be a man

And giving you future insight

Is it the dude or the woman that's reading your hand



Or reading your palm—who's your teacher

You been reading the Psalms

Learning some hymns—learning from Him

Who brings seas to a calm



If not

Then your teacher is wrong

Come let Jesus inform you

Lest, you have an eternal reason to mourn



If not

Then your teacher is wrong

Come let Jesus inform you

Lest, you have an eternal reason to mourn



Hook 2X



Verse 3

God wants you to learn from Him

But, leave your pencil at home

'Cause only the blood of Jesus Christ

Can erase your sin



He's the teacher

Your heart's the chalkboard

That's what His law's on

Pointing you to the cross for redemption baby



Your heart's dark—charcoal

He's scanning like barcodes

Question is will you be present

When He calls roll



'Cause if you're not next to Him

You gotta repent

He said come learn of me

That's in the context of sin



God accepting men (enroll now)

Your tuition is paid

You'll pass you from death to life

Like skippin' a grade



Why you think He let them spit in His face

And brutally murder Him

So, you and God could sit in the shade

And be cool like in the garden again



Jesus will pardon your sin

Trust me dog—Satan is hardly your friend

I write rhymes—I do my part with my pen

Eagerly anticipating glory, dog—that's when the party begins
