Hostyle Gospel – June 98

June 98 refers to the year of the final NBA Championship won by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. During this time, Michael Jordan said, “They can’t win unless we quit!” This inspired this song as the quote was made in celebration of the Bulls’ second defeat of the Utah Jazz in June of 1998. Such a profound statement also applies to our faith. The only defeat we can experience is to give up.

HG teams up with 1K Phew of Reach Records and Joe Glass III, an upcoming indie artist, to proclaim their victory as well as making note of the humility it takes to become a champion. The group also notes adverse conditions and circumstances of life that we all experience, but in all that, we go through, we are still made champions through our faith in Christ. Armed with this mindset Hostyle Gospel, 1K Phew, and Joe Glass III deliver another triumphant anthem for all those champions of the faith.

Lyrics

(1K Phew)
They want the money
Talk bout you owe me
Bring out the trophy
You got to show me
We ate bologna
Wit all the homies
Watch out for police
Trynna control me (hey let’s go)
Free throw line MJ flyin
Lemme go shine
Betta stop crying
Show me that sign
Open them blinds
Meet me outside
Time to go slide
Open your mind
Had to go grind
Check your tires

(Hook)
Might as well let it ride
Ain’t stopping cuz the game is tied
June 98 in chi town hit em with the turn and glide
Then I had to lose my pride
Cuz i had mufasa pride
But I got my shot denied
Had to go to the other side

Yeah coach get him in there
Let’s go get him in there
Let’s go get him in there
Hey coach get him in there
Get him in there
Coach get him in there
Lets go get him in there
Lets go get him in there
Hey coach get him in there
Get him in there coach

(Joe lyrics)
My BKs with the holes upgraded
On that trading block my sins got traded
I might fade away but I can’t be faded
No west-side-six it’s make it take it

Grace on me
Got it stacked
Got it packed
Got it racked
Then i got racks
Stacked and packed
Then i got packs
Racked and stacked

Just a roster player
Moving like conveyer
But holding up that trophy
Like like see u later

(Ray lyrics)
Jordan Rodman pippen they ain’t winning less we quittin
Crucifixion in my vision I ain’t asking for permission uh

Spirit in my engine inching closer to slippin a clip in the grip and I squeeze hitting a demon he scream and he flip
When The weapon is present i give you a gift

All free no slaves
Live forever No age
Got sin got grace
Always win i got faith

They always got something to say
Just not in our face
To busy I’m grown
But I got time today

(Hook)
Might as well let it ride
Ain’t stopping cuz the game is tied
June 98 in chi town hit em with the turn and glide
Then I had to lose my pride
Cuz i had mufasa pride
But I got my shot denied
Had to go to the other side

Yeah coach get him in there
Let’s go get him in there
Let’s go get him in there
Hey coach get him in there
Get him in there
Coach get him in there
Lets go get him in there
Lets go get him in there
Hey coach get him in there
Get him in there coach

(Fontaine lyrics)

I remember seeing cocaine right next to my manwiches, five years old the TV sold I don’t know how we handle it, Cheeto bag with bullets in them thug life it was scandalous, used to study police like a panelist or analyst, popo know you by your name so don’t open up that trunk, life just fell apart just like this car my life junk

Bad for all humanity, my Lord please come and stand with me, keep trying to kill this vanity, I need you for my sanity

Cuz of, what you see, I see Satan trying to come at me, oh no, what that mean, got 1 billion angels running things, and Christ, got that team, undefeated for eternity, oh yeah, hundreds rings, Champion In case you wonder

(DJ lyrics)

Champion amped again, like I’m on the antonym of ambien, blessed through shenanigans my prayers sound like I’m rambling to those who don’t know the man within. Feeling like I’m speaking mandarin lord use me to show them manikin I’m on edge, gift of the holy spirit got me feeling like I’m winning even though I’m sinning close to the ledge. That faith got me on one, on son like son on cross I, give mine like Christ gave life for them wages different chapters mean you gotta turn pages. Testify, make disciples, guard your witness, study his word, learn what your gift is, kingdom building is kingdom business and we still knocking evil senseless like raaahh
