Summary
Summary prepared by Acts 2:38 Life from the transcript below — the preacher’s words follow in full.
Buried with him by baptism
- He reads Romans 6: so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death — buried with him by baptism into death, raised to walk in newness of life.
- Two baptisms he administered that week frame the lesson: Bill Reese, sprinkled as a Catholic, baptized in Jesus' name on Tuesday; Mona, baptized Friday at noon after the Wednesday teaching.
- Baptism carries not only the importance of the name but of a burial — and you cannot bury something that is not dead; repentance is the daily dying that goes before it.
Scriptures: Romans 6:1-7
The body in the tomb
- Joseph begged the body of Jesus, wrapped it in clean linen, and laid it in his own new tomb; the resurrection took place in the tomb, not on the cross.
- He likewise took part of flesh and blood, was made like unto his brethren, and through death destroyed him that had the power of death; having himself suffered temptation, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Scriptures: Matthew 27:57-60; Hebrews 2:14-18
Made sin, washed in blood
- God made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, sending his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh.
- Man does not need reforming from the outside; he needs a blood transfusion — redeemed not with corruptible things, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
- Washed from our sins in his own blood, he made us kings and priests unto God: authority to live an overcoming life, and the power of intercession for loved ones and community.
Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 8:3; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Revelation 1:5-6
Follow in his steps
- Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example: who did no sin, and when he was reviled, reviled not again, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.
- Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth produces only a one-eyed, snaggletooth congregation; turn the wrong over to God and stay busy shining your light.
- By whose stripes ye were healed — stripes borne rightly and given to God may become someone else's healing.
Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:21-24
Strong crying and the broken yoke
- Paul said it: I am crucified to the world, and the world is crucified unto me — the flesh must be kept crucified, or it will justify itself toward sin.
- In the days of his flesh he offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears, and learned obedience by the things which he suffered; if Jesus prayed that way, we cannot do less.
- An angel appeared unto him from heaven, strengthening him, and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground; the flesh dies only as we call on the name of Jesus.
- The yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing: every yoke of bondage breaks in Christ, and the altar is where you keep coming until it does.
Scriptures: Hebrews 5:7-9; Luke 22:41-44; Isaiah 10:27

preaching I'm the power of invoking the name we went right back at it Wednesday night brother bill Reese was here last Sunday unbeknown to me the baptism brother bill Reese had was in the Catholic Church he was sprinkled he had accepted that baptism until last Sunday morning after the teaching was completed he went home and he thought a little bit about it he called me Monday he said at 3:00 a.m. Monday morning I had a dream in the dream I was in conversation with several people and a complete stranger turned around and said bill you need to be baptized in Jesus name he set up in his bed

Son Holy Ghost Wednesday night after pastor got finished she made a beeline to the front she said would you baptize me in Jesus name Friday at high noon this past Friday - high noon we baptized sister Mona and the wonderful saving name of Jesus Christ don't you thankful today you'll know Jesus aren't you glad today you've been buried in the name of Jesus today just to read one verse of scripture just one verse of scripture you've been so kind to stand Romans 6 in 1 what shall we say then shall we continue in sin that grace may abound let's pray right now but let's remember to pray for brother Doug Solomon's father James Solomon he is that he is at death's door and let's pray for brother Doug Solomon's father today and also let's pray for brother Lally today that God would strengthen and touch his body father I love you this morning Jesus I thank you God for your word I thank you Lord for the worship I thank you for the guests that have filled this place up today Lord I just feel so renewed I feel so strong Lord your word is alive your word is a lamp Lord take us Lord for the next few moments god help us God to understand your word better we can only know your wheel through your word Lord I pray today for James Solomon I pray today God that you would touch him and I pray for by the lolly today that you would move up on him in Jesus name we pray amen and amen you may be seated well it's not a good time to make this announcement but sister Ellard has been so kind she gave me the announcement Wednesday night and I didn't I forgot to make it he's a horrible horrible horrible time to make this announcement but they're having a special Caribbean chicken tonight and you need to get your orders in that was but that's one of them sell out very fast and so if your won't want to eat that some fella said it was so good he was eating about of it and he said he got so consumed about eighties finger off so I know that's a horrible time to make that announcement when I'm the only thing standing between you and dinner today somebody said every sermon every sermon is like a good Cape needs a little shortening so Romans chapter six let's read what shall we say then shall we continue in sin that God that grace may abound god forbid how shall we that are dead to sin and notice the word there to sin live any longer therein know you not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we also should walk in newness of life for if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death we shall also be we shall also be also in the likeness of his resurrection knowing this that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve sin for he that is dead is freed from sin now we have spent a little time on the importance of the name the name but I want us to spend a Bible lesson on why we immerse why do we put completely why does the Bible instruct us to immerse people completely completely under the water the Bible calls baptism a burial verse number four that we are buried with him by baptism so now baptism takes on not only the importance of name but that it is a burial a burial now go with me for a moment to Matthew chapter 27 verse number 57 and it says when the evening was come there came a rich man of armed Athiya named joseph who also himself was jesus disciple he went to Pilate and begged notice this please the body the body he begged the body of Jesus then Pilate commanded the body the body to be delivered and when Joseph had taken the body and I'm emphasizing that on purpose he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre and departed so we understand that when Jesus died on the cross when the man Christ Jesus died on the cross that they took his body his body would you say that with me the body they took the body of Jesus and they laid that body in a tomb now the tomb was that place of burial it was that place of burial it becomes the equivalent to you an eye of a grave it is the tomb it becomes the burial they took the body of Jesus and they buried the body they put the body in the tune is a matter of fact there there is where the resurrection took place the resurrection did not take place on the cross the resurrection took place in the tomb the resurrection took place in the grave we understand we understand that that the stone was rolled away not to reveal to let Jesus out but the stone was rolled away to reveal to us that there had been a resurrection there had been a resurrection a resurrection of what a resurrection of the dead body a resurrection of the body Hebrews chapter 2 and verse number 14 speak about the body of Jesus Christ since for as much then Hebrews 2:14 for as much then as the children are partakers of please notice this flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same look at the word like wise he took likewise part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had dominion that had Dominion or that had power excuse me over death that is the devil and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage for verily he took not on him the nature of angels but he took on him the seed of Abraham wherefore in all things it behooves that word means to passionately desire it behooves him to be made like unto his brethren now I'm emphasizing these words that I'll bring them all together in a moment it says likewise II took part of the same and now it says he was to be made light unto his brother brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people for in that he himself hath suffered being tempted he is able able to secure or help secure means help rescue them that are tempting 2nd Corinthians 5:21 for he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin he was made to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him Romans chapter 8 verse 3 for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh cry God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh now brothers and sisters today the reason the Bible says the words he was made likened unto he was made in the likeness is because there was something different about the man Christ Jesus he was a man but there was something different about him he was a man because of flesh flesh but the Bible says the life of the flesh is in the blood it was the blood of Adam that became contaminating it was the blood of Adam that when Adam and Eve sinned it was their blood that up to that time was blood that God had given it was incorruptible blood but when sin entered into man man's blood became contaminated man's blood had death in blood now the flesh followed the corruption of the blood but the flesh not only followed the corruption of the blood but the flesh also acted out the evilness of the corruption of the blood because man is now corrupt man has now a nature of sin he has now a propensity to sin he has a weakness in his flesh it is not the act it was the blood that was contaminated and so when God came to the earth to do a work it wasn't perfect flesh that God needed it was perfect spotless blood that God needed so Mary gave Christ the flesh but God the Father determines the blood type and so Jesus Christ was made in the likeness of sinful flesh in that he was flesh but there was something different about him the blood that he had was that incorruptible blood that blood that he had is a matter as a matter of fact first Peter chapter 1 verse number 18 Peter brings this to light when he says for as much as you know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things such as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by the tradition of your father's he stops there and reminds them about how they used to try to please God how they used to try to approach God through the law through the main conversations the traditions in the Old Testament of the law he said you tried that but that never did redeem you that never did change you because man does not need to be reformed on the outside it's not his flesh that needs reforming it's his blood that needs a transfusion because you can reform we've heard the little analogy all all through our lives you can take a pig you can take that pig out of the out of the hog pen you can take that pig you can bathe the pig you can paint its hoofs you can do all kinds of things you can put a bow on that pig you can put a mink coat on that pig you can put diamonds in its ears but if you land you can you can spray whatever perfume Chanel number five six and seven and eight you can spray all of it you want to on that pig but when that pig is let go that pig will find the nearest mud hole and it'll water water of that mink coat in that mud hole why because it's a pig you're not made that pee didn't change the nature of that pig by putting the mink coat on it you didn't change the nature of that pig by putting Chanel number five on it that pig is a pig and it will do that as long as it lives man shall not be reformed from the outside in man needed a blood transfusion he needed a blood transfusion and the next verse says this says verse 18 for as much as you know that you are not redeemed with corruptible things such as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your father's but with the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and without spot what are we saying by today we are saved by the precious spotless blood of the Lamb of Jesus Christ revelation chapter 1 Revelation chapter 1 and verse number 5 bears this out and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the Dead and the Prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved us unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood we were washed in his own blood I'm taking a little time here today because if we fail to understand and comprehend the spiritual significance and importance of the blood then we look at acts that have no meaning we look at things we see baptism so shallow from what it should be and we try to live for God and many times stumble and frustration we stumble in frustration because we don't understand the spiritual significance of the blood that he washed us in his own blood verse 6 and made us you see after he washed us he made us thank God not only am i talking today about the blood that washed us but I'm also talking about that he made us he made us kings and priests unto God and his father to him be glory and Dominion for ever and ever amen a king represents Authority and a priest represents intercession and Dominion represents rulership today first Apostolic Church you and I need to rejoice in the fact and understand the spiritual significance of being washed in the blood and being buried with Christ in Baptism to be washed in the blood it means today that we have an authority authority to live an overcoming life Authority to live an overcoming life authority to be the head and not the tail Authority to be above and not beneath but we not only have authority to live an overcoming life but we also have the power of intercession that we can make a difference in the lives of our loved ones and in the lives of our community by reaching out on behalf of God and touching them on behalf of our family go back to first go back to first Peter chapter 2 and verse number 21 first Peter chapter 2 21 for even unto for even hear unto where you called because Christ also has suffered for us he suffered for us leaving us an example he suffered for us leaving us an example that we should follow in his steps anyone that tries to preach to you they Christianity without suffering is a false prophet this this silliness today that if I'll come give my life to God everything will turn everything will be just easy for me from here on out he's alive he's a matter of fact the sinner faces a new challenge when they step across the line and they give their life to God but we have to understand he suffered for us leaving us an example that ye should follow in him in his steps who did no sin he didn't do any sin neither was guile found in his mouth he was not talking to see fully who when he was reviled reviled not again when he suffered he threatened not but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree that we being dead to sin sins should live unto righteousness by whose stripes we are healed now I want you to know that we ought to frame this right here and we ought to try our best to live by it because sometimes we get so trapped up and in trapped and never develop into the Christians that we need because someone threatens us and bless God we threatened them back you hit me you hit me and I'm gonna hit you back you talk about me and I'm gonna talk about you mad high for a 9:00 to 4:00 - I heard my pastor say one time when you live by the eye for the eye and the tooth for the tooth all it ever produces is a one-eyed snaggletooth congregation all it ever produces is a husband and wife kids and families oh we ought to frame this try our best to live by it and when we're done wrong we just turn it over to God let God take care of it because I'm too busy shining my light to a lost world people that need God more than ever before to get sidetracked in any kind of public debate defending my reputation listen if God can't keep you you can't be kept you you'll never get strong enough to shut up her mouth up you'll never get strong enough to get everybody told off you'll waste your life and those around you by trying to even the score when we ought to just be like Jesus just commit it to God just give it over to God let God let God take care of it I'm too busy teaching Sunday school let God take care of it I'm too busy trying to be fun trying too busy trying to be a witness let God take care of it you know it's interesting it's interesting that he tells us this is how we ought to be I left you the example you ought to follow in the steps he comes all the way down to verse number 24 he said Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the on the tree that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness by whose stripes you are healed you know it's interesting that that's there that's interesting that's there because if I will give to God what I'm going through if I will give it to God when I'm being crucified if I will give it to God when I'm being reviled lite-on mistreated if I will give it to God when these things are happening to my life then he says the stripes that you have received will be someone else's healing your thought about that mom and dad what we're going through today your children may be healed about it tomorrow if I react to what's right in my life if I react to injustice if I react to the life not being fair and it's not if I react the right way and give it to God if God be for us who can be against us he will break every yoke that comes against us if God is on our side if God be again if God be for us who can be against it if I simply turn all that over to God I received some stripes on my back I've got some things I could tell you I went through but if I give it over to God brother Poole then later on in my life those that are following me because that's how you see the stripes on the back is you're following those that are following me can look at me and say look at what he went through but he's still walking for Jesus look at what he went through but he skilled the one of my whose stripes we come on let's take a moment praise God right now now we can talk about baptism burial but we can't bury something till it's dead we can't bury something till it's dead and I know that's very simple but there is a spiritual application as far as our flesh is concerned we need to be working on putting our flesh to death the Bible talks about being dead to sin we need to work on putting our flesh to death to death you know how it feels that stinging that's stinging you know you you wouldn't you would you would do yourself a world of good when that flesh begins to sting when something stinging your flesh under your breath you would be good to say sizzle flesh sizzle just burn just burn just burn because we must decrease that he might increase you never bury something that's not dead that's where repentance comes in repentance isn't an easy battle repentance is not easy it's not an easy thing as a matter of fact repentance is not a one-time thing it is not like the step of baptism it is not like the initial infilling of the Holy Ghost there can only be a first time for the baptism there can only be a first time for your initial and filling of the Holy Ghost but can I tell us all today that is not so with repentance repentance has got to be an everyday practice for the child of God it's not easy you know why it's not easy it involves our flesh our flesh you see if Jesus prayed and if he not only prayed but if he demonstrated great stress while praying I'm gonna ask you a question if Jesus demonstrated fervency in prayer fervency and prayer he demonstrated fervency in prayer my question to you is should you and I do less than what he did Hebrews 5 and verse 7 speaks of Jesus Christ Hebrews 5 and 7 says who in the days of this town interesting isn't it who in the days of his what in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was heard in that he feared though he were a son yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered and being made perfect he became the author of eternal salvation and unto all them that obey Him look at this if Jesus had to pray this way if in the days of his flesh I want us to see this this morning if in the days of Jesus flesh he who had incorruptible blood he who had precious blood if in the days of his flesh he lifted up strong cry and years and was heard and learned he obedience look at this by the things he suffered you see if we don't learn by our mistakes we are bound to repeat them if we don't learn if we haven't learned by now that in our flesh dwelleth no good thing in our flesh you can't trust your flesh your flesh and my flesh our deceit are deceiving the only thing we are to do with our flesh is to keep our flesh crucified the things we want to do we should not and the things that we the things that we that we want to do in the flesh sinfulness we should not we should crucify ourselves to that when we know it's sin when we know it doesn't produce to produce spirituality when we know it's not pleasing to God when we know that it doesn't lead in the path of eternal life it doesn't bring forth fruit there's nothing good that comes out of it when we know that we need to work on crucifying our flesh to that you see but when my flesh is let go it will gravitate towards sin and it will it will absolutely justify itself about God well I'm not I'm not the only one doing this well you know everybody else is doing this it'll begin to make excuses Church if we're going to develop the way that God wants us to develop we have got to learn to crucify ourselves to the world that that our flesh wants nothing met that Paul said it he said I am crucified to the world and the world is crucified to me let me break that down to you he said there's nothing in this world that I want there's nothing in this world that I want and because I'm living a life unto God there's nothing in me that the world wants there's nothing that is attractive about the world that they want in me I want nothing of the world I don't want anything I don't want it's music that does not glorify Jesus Christ I don't want it's things that can become addictive that can take me away from a consecrated life to Jesus Christ I want to be crucified under that I don't want to lie I don't want to cheat I don't want to get caught up in this sex-crazed world that we're living in and the only way is to crucify our flesh in the only way is to have a life of prayer if Jesus Christ had to pray if Jesus Christ had to lift up his voice how much more should you and I today be lifting up our voices in prayer to God prayer time at our church should not mean the quietest time in our service on the contrary it ought to be the loudest time that we have of anything else if he had to pray cry lift up his voice Bible says in Luke 22 41 he withdrew himself from them about a stone's cast and knelt down and prayed saying father if thou be willing remove this cup from me nevertheless not my will but thine be done and there appeared an angel unto him from heaven strengthening him that's interesting what was the angel strengthening it was not strengthening did he was not strengthening did he was strengthening flesh was helping him and being in agony he prayed more earnestly and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground baptism is a burial of a dead man we have to die out the only way that we can die out is through the power of Jesus Christ he is alive just here this morning and he's close he's close as the mention of his name Jesus there is so much help when we cry out in Jesus name see others as a matter of fact that's the only way I can put my life to death and stop the actions of the flesh it's through the name of Jesus I have no good thing dwelling inside of me it's not a self-help thing it's a god help thing it's a god here it's a god centered God help me and if you want to be delivered from that destructive habit of your life or if you want to turn into somebody that radiates with the witnessing power of God I submit to you today you'll only do that by getting your flesh in line and crying out God Jesus help me God help me God do I have a witness in the house today I'm going to tell you I took him in another step spiritually speaking I have walked some dark trails to where in the next step that I had was after I had a prayer that said God I want you to know I can't make it on my own god I want you to know I can't stand up under this anymore I have found myself buried in the closet buried in the shoes buried in the clothes wadded up in there asking God God if you don't help me God I will not be able to make it but something supernatural something unbelievable begins to take place when I call out upon that name his name if he can God begins to strengthen me I live to fight another day I live to have another day but it's only only only would you worship Jesus Christ with me right now we must come against our flesh in Jesus name believe me it's true to change our mind about our lives and bring our flesh under subjection to the spirits rule can only come to past when we die with him we are buried we are buried with him we are buried with him you see the Bible said that he died in our sins but it says we die to our sin he died for our sin to give us the power to die to our sins he who knew no sin became sin that you and I might become the righteousness of God if you live you listen to me today you listen to me I don't care what's got ahold of you I don't know I don't care what miserable wretch of a person you are today I don't care how unhappy you are you may not be addicted you may not be an addict you may not be a lot of things you just may be someone who has yes years ago you repented and you got baptized and you got the Holy Ghost but you have not went on to that daily dying with him your flesh is under computer is out of control you might wear a dress or a three-piece suit you might look the act but your flesh is totally out of control your you might even be miserable just absolutely miserable Church don't turn you on there's nothing exciting goes on to church this is nothing more than a social gathering of your flesh so that you can talk about this one and you can talk about that one God called us for such great things than that but but I want to say this as your pastor did I want to say this as your pastor today God can give you victory over a tongue that cannot be controlled God will give you a victory over a mind that wants to hope the worst and everything God will give you a victory God can give you victory over that it's a whole lot better to tell the story of Jesus then to tell the story about brother Joe falling in sin it's a whole lot better to sing the songs of Zion than to be telling some oh oh stuff that that's never led big tree many times look when you want to live a life that way I almost said look who's following you but I want to say look who might not be following you but I don't care today what drug what alcohol what pornography and the list could go on and on and on today I don't care what hold you there's nothing that's a match for the name Jesus Christ if you own it if you want it it's not in my hands it's not in my heart hey I'm doing good to keep my own flesh too many times we want a preacher to lay hands on us we want some great big spiritual hocus-pocus rabbit out of the Hat service to where we get all of a sudden free and everything falls in place that's lala land friend that's a fairytale land if you're going to have a good fruitful field it's going to be because you have crucified your flesh and you've loungy you are buried I wish somebody shot buried you are buried with him Perry Bible tells us in Isaiah chapter 10 verse number 27 musicians would you come I feel the Holy Ghost in this house today buried with him in Baptism but you can't bury something that's not dead as they had 1027 and this shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder and his yoke from off my neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing the yoke is destroyed because of the anointing the yoke I came across this in a devotional this week would you listen to me very closely please a yoke is an agricultural a yoke in agricultural times was a type of harness that was bound to the necks of a team of animals that were used to plow until the land oftentimes stronger oxen were yoked to weaker or non-conforming oxen in an attempt to tame them guide or control weaker animals one of the single one of the signals that inform the master as to when it was time to release the yoke from the younger oxen was when the weaker or non-conforming animal begin to replicate the pattern of the stronger animal on its own training of the weak weaker animal was complete when the weaker animal no longer needed to follow the instructions of the stronger animal this yoking principle applies to spiritual matters as well just as the farmer used yokes the Tama oxen in order to plow the field the enemy uses yoking tactics like addiction less fornication sickness disease to keep you bound and yoked to oppressive spirits as a means to control you and to redirect your purpose however when you are in Christ Jesus every yoke of bondage is destroyed every demonic tactic is completely obliterated when you are in Jesus Christ every demonic yoke that ty tries to grip your heart and your family must release you and let your purpose go all power and authority belongs to Jesus Christ he is more powerful than any demonic yoke or stronghold that tries to keep you bound no demonic force can meet Jesus Christ no demonic force can withstand him when you are in Jesus Christ you are his own you are on his team you have the power to choose to be yoked up to Jesus or you have the power to be yoked up to Satan in Christ every demonic yoke is broken and no weapon that is formed against you by the enemy's hand has power to rule over you you are free in Jesus Christ no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tone that shall rise against you in judgment shall he keep me condemned this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord all can attain you today Jesus Jesus I can't help you today I can't help you today you're not standing we're just staying I can't help you today please don't let your heart to see you we just love our little creature we just love our breathing I didn't love going to the church I just love that that's well and good but you know what both you and I have to fight that because my flesh wants to hear that and your flesh wants to comfort you in the coming in church and life in the preacher but not having a relationship with the Messiah and then I get off my beaten track brother Perry because my job is at the popularity contest my job is to present you blameless in the presence of God right right right you remember this remember this they're just very quickly you remember you remember eliazar that went after Isaac a bride you went got eyes like a bride and Rebecca was very beautiful do you know that I Eleazar who's the - who's that who's the Old Testament typology of a pastor you know what he had to battle falling in love with the Rebekah himself because he can look at the beauty of Rebekah and think man you are beautiful but Eleazar go back to your tent get on your knees remember putting your hand on Abraham's thigh and swearing by God that you'd get a bride for his son and that's the way I've been doing I've been going back to my tent because I'm in Scent yard I can't let people just come and sit and we had a good number this morning and we had a good service this morning but their lives are not being changed we've got to learn how to not magnify the name of Jesus Christ the anointing can break the yoke I'm never gonna teach a lesson to help you I'm never gonna lay hands on you and help you if you're going to be delivered it will be because you march out of that queue come down to the front of this place and say God I want to die to this thing and we having a hard time and we're having a hard time and Pentecostal churches now getting Pentecostal people to come to the altar you know why now you got your watch it your flesh is deceitfully wicked oh yes it is please don't don't don't no complained about what a walk it is down here if I see you
