KINGDOM GREATER THAN TRIBE
146 BPM trap-EDM hybrid with UK 2-step swing in verses. Tight 808s, crisp hats, punchy claps, and choir hits. Chorus blooms into a wide euphoric female topline with bright saw lead and organ support. Drop flips half-time with gritty bass, heavy guitars, and crowd shouts. Rapper is calm, soulful, prophetic in verses and bridge. Male lead delivers confrontational pain in breakdown and final stacked chorus. Key F minor with a final lift toward Ab major. Church-safe.

Lyrics
[Intro 8bars Choir strike, drum snap, crowd inhale]
Not my side
Your Kingdom
[Verse 1:rapper calm soulful speaker]
We turned the Gospel into banners and debates
Trading holiness for headlines and takes
We build new walls with scripture in hand
Forget the stranger, forget the wounded man
But the cross was never a trophy for pride
It was love poured out with arms open wide
If I claim I love God that I cannot see
Then how do I hate my brother in front of me
[Pre-Chorus 1:female vocal]
Teach me to be quick to hear
Slow to speak when anger’s near
Give me a heart that carries peace
Let my pride decrease
[Chorus 1:female vocal]
Put Jesus at the center, and the walls come down
Mercy in the mouth, truth without a crown
I won’t worship my opinion, I won’t kneel to the crowd
Make me faithful, make me loud
Not uniform, but joined in grace
One table, many tongues, one Name
Your Kingdom comes, my tribe can wait
Love leads the way
[Sample Section]
Our Father
Make us one
On earth as in Heaven
[Verse 2:rapper calm soulful speaker]
There’s one Body, many members, different callings
One Spirit moving when humility is falling
When I forgive, I break a chain
When I repent, I disarm blame
Bless those who curse you, that’s war in reverse
Overcome evil with good, let love do the work
If the enemy wants us loud but split
Then unity is our protest
[Break/Breakdown:male vocal]
I’ve bled for my label, I’ve hardened my tone
I’ve thrown my own stones and called it a throne
I’m done being used by the bait they deploy
I repent of division, I choose to rebuild
Not by my strength, but by Your will
[Pre-Chorus 2:female vocal]
Make me a peacemaker with backbone
Make my courage gentle, my heart Your home
Let me speak truth without hate
Let me love the ones I used to blame
[Drop 16bars]
Kingdom first, everything else in place
Truth in the eyes, mercy in the face
Not politics, not a brand, not a trend
Holiness now, let revival begin
[Bridge:all vocals]
That we may be one, so the world can see
Not our perfection, but Your charity
Forgive us, Lord, for the lines we drew
Unite us again in what is true
[Outro,Fade out]
Your Kingdom comes
Love leads the way
