4:17-32 The New Life features Evangel from ChristCentric and Benjamin the Esquire. You'll hear Ben jump in at the 1:45 minute mark. Ben's lyrics are listed below so you can read along with his rhymes.
Let honesty be the policy with your neighbor
regardless of their flavor you're acknowledging the Savior
paying homage every day cuz He abolished the old way bruh
especially with the brothers of the household of faith
if you lie to one another seek the power of grace
if the hour is late the devil's prowling the place
he tries devouring the plates of cats who sour like grapes
but the seed that I planted grows the flower of faith
and while I'm rocking your brain upon this topic of change
let the crook who took just put a stop to his game
He should replace what he stole and make an honest living
Sharing from the wealth that the Lord God has given
Instead of foul speech that corrupts the listener
gather round peeps and instruct with wisdom to
spread more grace to those within earshot
Don't grieve the Holy Spirit if you really fear God
He brought us near God and is living amongst us
He sealed old heads and He does it for youngsters
guarantees that we will reach the final destination
my final exhortation is for life and restoration
hardened hearts breed anger and wrath
don't be a bitter spitter of pitiful slanderous crap
I write tough words so your heart will be softened
Christ forgave sins, so forgive your brothers often
