Biblical Reference


JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Numbers 6:5 - All the days of the vow of
his separation there shall no razor come
upon his head: until the days be
fulfilled, in the which he separateth
himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy,
and shall let the locks of the hair of
his head grow.
Judges 13:5 - For, lo, thou shalt
conceive, and bear a son; and no razor
shall come on his head: for the child
shall be a Nazarite unto God from the
womb: and he shall begin to deliver
Israel out of the hand of the
Philistines.
Judges 16:17 - That he told her all his
heart, and said unto her, There hath not
come a razor upon mine head; for I have
been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's
womb: if I be shaven, then my strength
will go from me, and I shall become weak,
and be like any other man.
Leviticus 21:5 - They shall not make
baldness upon their head, neither shall
they shave off the corner of their beard,
nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
1 Samuel 1:11 - And she vowed a vow, and
said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt
indeed look on the affliction of thine
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget
thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine
handmaid a man child, then I will give
him unto the LORD all the days of his
life, and there shall no razor come upon
his head.
2 Kings 2:23 - And he went up from thence
unto Bethel: and as he was going up by
the way, there came forth little children
out of the city, and mocked him, and said
unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up,
thou bald head.

Run come crucify the dread

Mark 15:13
- And they cried out again,
Crucify him.
Luke 23:21 - But they cried, saying,
Crucify him, crucify him.
John 19:6 - When the chief priests
therefore and officers saw him, they
cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify
him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye
him, and crucify him: for I find no
fault in him.

Time alone, oh! time will tell
 

Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
(repeat)

Amos 9:2
- Though they dig into hell,
thence shall mine hand take them; though
they climb up to heaven, thence will I
bring them down:
Matthew 11:23 - And thou, Capernaum,
which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty
works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have
remained until this day.
Luke 10:15 - And thou, Capernaum, which
art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust
down to hell.

Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hell

Back them up, oh not the brothers,
But the ones, who set them up

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
(repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven,
but you living in hell
 

Oh children weep no more

Isaiah 30:19 -
For the people shall dwell in
Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more:
he will be very gracious unto thee at the
voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he
will answer thee.

Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree

Luke 19:4 - And he ran before, and climbed
up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he
was to pass that way.
