Fariseus do Século XXI

[Part 1]
Jesus came down to earth to free his people
Miracles and missions accompanied his walk
Everything that was done was for the sake of humanity
And for the same he gave himself bringing us freedom

And like a good deed, there's always retaliation
Jesus betrayed by the same ones he helped
They despised a gift sent by God
Several hypocrites emerged, known as Pharisees

Extremist religious, lives of appearance
They thought they were the holy ones of the time, by influence
In the crowd they followed Jesus just to criticize
Just waiting for a moment to point the finger

They criticized the miracles done by the master
And some even thought they were better than Jesus
They thought they were saints, deluded in the happenings
They shouted release Barabbas and put Jesus on the cross

Before Christ, this bad behavior already existed
And when Christ came, he was persecuted for it
Today, this trickery still exists
Behind a suit, or even dressed in a dress

They say they live by the word but it doesn't make sense
The Bible says not to judge, but they don't care
They oppress and judge the people around
As if they had never sinned in their lives

They don't sanctify for the kingdom just inside the temple
For God, this has been rejected for a long time
The temple is on this earth and as time passes
Jesus will come to take those who were attentive

I present to you now the Pharisees of this century
They want the temple at any cost and occasion
I present to you now the Pharisees of this century
They can keep the temple, my place is in Zion

Pharisees of the century, Pharisees of the century
Lives of appearance, and ready to judge
But God's justice will soon happen
Pharisees of the century, Pharisees of the century
The world may try to attack you
But with faith and calmness you will persist

[Part 2]
Some time ago I was called to make a rap
To bring the gospel of Jesus in my Boombap
A Pharisee looking at that, already caused trouble
He said the world was entering the church

Talking is easy but let's see the whole context
I still haven't seen in the Bible a text about this
I'm bringing the gospel, for God to free
While the Pharisees let the enemy use

God is the owner of the universe, of gold and silver, of worship rhythms, the devil has nothing
Rap in the church is progress for me
It helps the guys go through the process

Talking to someone a while ago
About the Pharisees who have not left us in peace for a long time
She said don't worry, this happens
It will just be another theme for the next rap

And I didn't think twice, I went to write the verses
Firstly I dedicated it to the God of the universe
I also dedicate this letter to every Christian
Who goes through this every day, and is still strong

So don't judge, this is my way of worshiping
I am a son, I have the right to praise God
And nothing can stop my worship
Paul and Silas worshiped him in prison

But my Jesus one day spoke about affliction
That the world belongs to the evil one and we are from Zion
So hold on, the final judgment is coming
My Jesus is coming to separate the good from the bad

I present to you now the Pharisees of this century
They want the temple at any cost and occasion
I present to you now the Pharisees of this century
They can keep the temple, my place is in Zion

Pharisees of the century, Pharisees of the century
Lives of appearance, and ready to judge
But God's justice will soon happen
Pharisees of the century, Pharisees of the century
The world may try to attack you
But with faith and calmness you will persist
