I am actually trying out an experimental rap line with my title above. If you know the next line, I am prepared to consider sharing royalties. Cos I'm stuck. Does anyone know what it is?
In both Matthew and Luke, a master puts his servants in charge of his goods while he is away on a trip. Upon his return, the master assesses the stewardship of his servants. He evaluates them according to how faithful each was in making wise investments of his goods to obtain a profit. It is clear that the master sought some profit from the servants’ oversight. A gain indicated faithfulness on the part of the servants. The master rewards his servants according to how each has handled his stewardship. He judges two servants as having been “faithful” and gives them a positive reward. To the single unfaithful servant who “played it safe,” a negative compensation is given.
Never really got on with this parable - always considered it biblical apologism for usury. Would the master have been somebody who fitted through the metaphorical eye of the needle to get to heaven? Would JC have kicked not for profit organisations out of the temple? Not that religious hypocrisy should be a surprise, of course...
Got caught in bed with Sammys hoe, We were going to act With a new contract But he turned the chance down 'Cos of Linton Brown. Al get mi coit
******** Ben gone...just up the M1 LB gets the job!......now I'm nowt but a nob Needed a chief....seems I brought grief Sam off to the Owls... big hit to the bowels No contract with Conor.... knew I was a goner What more can I tell? .. There's others as well No contracts in sight to save me from ***** We once had a plan.....LB was your man But am I now the clown? My name is Linton Brown
This whole story may never be told Hitherto the truth will never unfold It seems that The services of LB had to relent His time now taken to peruse Situations Vacant
I think perhaps Ralph McTell said it best: 'Let me take you by the hand and shown you the spreadsheets of Linton, They'll show you something that incurred the wrath of Cryne.'
Not sure that parable is rapworthy. I would perhaps suggest someone with a deep meaningful non-USA but definitely English voice, speaking over background orchestral music, to bring out the truth, such as there may be. But you need a gospel chorus to break it up. With a line to sing. A bit like Desiderata, if that rings any bells.
Though the Clash also had something to say about it: 'Linton's calling 'cos he's heard he's been sacked, That Pat's had enough, his bags have been packed, Linton's calling to return his ID, His car parking pass, some stuff from IT, Linton's calling to collect his effects, His acumen's busted, the budget's been wrecked, Linton's calling 'bout redundancy pay, 'Cos he took our top scorer, and gave him away'......
You have a rare talent. Although Ralph McTell and The Clash may not be the first alternative lyrics to expect from a fusion of Simply Red and Go West.
