"What's The Word?" is track 6 of James Julius' "Made New" Album.  Covering multiple topics and history points, James Julius addresses the often asked question, "What's the word?"  This phrase is commonly used to replace greetings such as, "What's goin' on?" or "What's new?".  Also, Jesus is referred to as "The Word" in John 1:1-4, as well as the bible being described as "The Word of God".  This double entendre offers quality spiritual food for the believer as well as an "alter call", if you will, for the curious unbeliever.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
There's a new beginnin', no sinnin',
Imma lift my hands high while I praise my Lord,
Everybody get crunk, get hyphy,
You got somethin' to praise Him for,
His power's infinite,
Homie, I've got to witness it,
Revelations to Galatians, and all the way back to Genesis,
When He created man out of dust and,
Way before pain and destruction,
It was perfect harmony,
Bonding with The Father,
Nothing could move us when,
We met that snake in the grass,
Blatant his task,
Breakin' us fast,
Satan be hatin' to make us forsake our Dad,
Makin' Him sad,
So, from there we known as strangers,
The world so dark, so dangerous,
Everybody lookin' for forgiveness,
But He was tucked away in a manger,
He is security,
No question about His purity,
Teaching lessons to the majority,
And spoken with authority!

(Chorus)
What's the word? (What's the word)
What's the biz? (What's the biz?)
Have you heard? (Have you heard?)
The King lives! (The King lives!)
Jesus died for my sins to be forgiven, ya!
But He didn't die for my sins to be continued! naw!
What's the word? (What's the word)
What's the biz? (What's the biz?)
Have you heard? (Have you heard?)
You His! (You His!)
Jesus died for my sins to be forgiven, ya!
But He didn't die for my sins to be continued! naw!

(Verse 2)
He depended on The Father,
Nope, nothin' else,
Nope, don't matter,
Have you ever met a guy so fly in the sky?
He also walked on water,
The pharisees hated Him,
But they couldn't fade Him,
In His sheets, when he sleep,
The wind & the sea even obeyed Him!
What a wonderful friend,
He would take our sin and give His own life,
How precious the blood the craziest thug could be atoned by,
He gave us a gift,
Now we must use our hands and lift up and grab it,
When they beat Him they gave us our freedom,
And now I'm feelin' like Barabas,
Now I gotta keep runnin', and gunnin', and lookin' in front,
'Till the trumpets blow,
And every knee will bow,
Every back will bend,
Every head will hit the floor,
Everybody will gaze at the beautiful days when they see the king of the earth,
Imma lift my hands and praise,
Astonished and amazed and say...

(Chorus) Christian Rap

(Verse 3)
Before He comes back again,
Gotta let y'all know what's crackin, and,
Jesus died to bring you back to Him,
Set down that chrome you packin, and,
You - You ain't worthless,
You - You been purchased,
You - Made for a purpose,
You - Were meant for service,
Do it now, you ain't promise tomorrow,
The Savior is patiently waitin' to take all your sorrow,
And when your homies see that you ain't the same way,
Today you can look 'em in the face and then say...

(Chorus)
