Despite not being religious, I keep using the term Sow & Reap, and other biblical references, so I was looking for some evangelical preacher samples to find the hook for this song, and incredibly found a guy that sounds like he did it especially for this song!
lyrics
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
Plant it and grow, reap what you sow
Making a show, making it flow
Taking it slow, aching to know
Breaking the blow, rake in the dough
Getting the power to take on the might
The meteor shower illuminate night
Enough of the dark, let's go to the light
You're thinking he will, but I reckon he might
Liberty go if you happen to move
Liberty trapped what you happen to do
Liberty know if you're rapping a groove
Liberty can't let it happen to you
You're two headed dragon duplicity
I think I'm a have an epiphany
You can be looking for gaps in infinity
Seem to be shooting to hit but they missing me
Typically flippantly strange, upping the range
Middle of age, minimal wage
Slipping away, give it away
Live for today, making the hay
Watching my people get shepherd along
Time to be making a record a song
Under the rainbow, a leper, a con
Have to be quick, not a second too long
It's not where are you at but it's where are you from
Do you feel sheltered and do you belong
What do you do when the people are gone
Really depending what vibe that I'm on
Kneeling I'm feeling the embers are glowing
Head to the top and look up and keep going
Hard to be probably never be knowing
The muscles get tired but I have to keep going
That that a man sow
That that a man sow
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
Don't eat don't taste defeat
Putting forward best two feet
At peace with the rest of me
Who that joker jester be?
Old friends are best to keep
Don't fray don't stray too deep
Not afraid to take that leap
What you sow is what you reap
Rolling along like a rolling stone
Everywhere I go, I roam alone
Landing right where the stone is thrown
Hear those sirens phoning home
It's that Ghostown rodeo
Steal the show like Romeo
Got that phat portfolio
It's all about who you know
Fresh morning dew and I'm starting again
Looking to you gotta spark in my pen
Locked in my memory, harking to when
This is my special sauce melody blend
Don't really know, but I'm hoping to go with it
Open the door I can cope with the covid
The camera lights, they making a show with it
Give us some slack and just cut off the rope a bit
Bringing it back, making it phat
Shaking the shack, making the track
Wake to the facts, making it slap
Cutting the crap, getting the knack
Walk on a hill top, taking a still shot
Life is a thrill but, a question of will but
Rocking the flip flops, don't let the kids stop
Stopping the kill shot, hop when the beat drop
That that a man sow
That that a man sow
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
That that a man sow, that shall he also reap
