Hello world
Ain’t no friend of ya
So quit with all the smiles I wont bend for ya
I’m walkin’ straight better now than ever
I guess I started late now my heart’s awake
When did this all begin I guess it’s hard to say
All I really know is that something happened inside of me
And it was not my own I was chosen
Now I’m flippin’ paper for the prophets
I ain’t talking about how my pockets grown
Not the paper with the dead people faces
Talking about them dudes that I read in the pages
Now I’m seeing clear but I ain’t got Lasik
I’m thinking about my past I never shoulda made it
But God in His grace saw it fit to come and snatch me up
I draw the line in the sand no I ain’t backing up
Back in the days I was acting up
You know when communion came your boy had to pass the cup
Pass the bread too sin I was still in
Offering went in the plate my condoms almost fell in
Outside I’m feelin’ cool inside I’m yelling
Outside lookin’ free inside’s like a felon
Doing time for rebelling a slave to that sin that I was dwellin’ in
Bought the lie they were selling like go, get as many girls as you can
And get it out of your system now so you’ll put a rrrrring on that hand
Down the line when your thirty after you had like thirty different women
They so pretty feeling clean … getting dirty
Yuck, now what a lie from the mouth of Satan
Let’s use logic for verifying these statements
Well you keep chasing them you’ll only want more
Sin is never satisfied boy we at war with ourselves
You ever want something so bad it was all you could think about
Yo you had to have it
Then you finally get it you like it for a minute but then your eyes pivot
Now your on to something different we got God-sized longings
Why you try to fill em with them things that you can’t take with you in the coffin
Man I’mma seek the truth til my brain hurt,
I’m just another soul
My life’s like a sand grain in the dirt,
If we was made for a greater role
Than just living to die
What’s the answer? I gots to know why
I don’t want just another nice job and a ride
‘Cause plenty people got that and wind up committin suicide
So I really don’t care bout the physical
‘Cause I know some know some millionaires that’s miserable
My search goes deeper now, I’m asking more people
Like “whats the meaning of life for us creatures?”
The response I keep hearing back, “Love, Live, Laugh”
Man I already found that on a t-shirt
Some people wanna get tweaked, like philosophy class
They smoke riefer, drop acid, pop liberty caps, but thats misery
Within itself, no up or down, right or left, so I guess you’re left living right?
Man that’s crazy, I’m searching for an absolute,
No vodka, I just wanna grasp the truth ‘cause if I don’t then,
Yo what a waste I might as well dig a hole in my grave
They keep telling me…
What’s it all about? Why are we here?
If there’s no reason, why do I care?
A lot of people put they thoughts in my ear
But I gotta know for myself,
So yo God, are you really there?
What’s it all about? Why are we here?
If there’s no reason, why do I care?
A lot of people put they thoughts in my ear
But I gotta know for myself,
So yo God, are you really there?
Yo God, are you really there?

Went to Asia had to duck and hide-for Sharin my faith
They tell me water it downwhen I get back to states
They say tone the music down you might sell a lot a records
But it’s people out here dying and none of em heard the message
Took my wifey on mission trip - central america
Shared her testimony 40 people stood and stared at her
When she said Jesus shoulda seen it was insane cause 40 out of 40 never heard of Jesus name
Aw mayne we ain’t focused on the war we just kickin it
Worried bout our image and our space up on the internet
Take me out the game coach
I don’t wanna play no mo
If can’t give it all I got and leave it out there on the court
Thank you for the Grace for the will and the desire
Got me
Living for your glory stead of living to retire
But I pray I’ll never tire of Going hard for Messiah
I don’t need no motivation You the reason I’m inspired.
No glory in me
All glory to The King on the throne
You either love Him or you leave Him alone
But you can’t do both
Yeah I know you heard that once in a song,
I pray ya hear ten more ‘fore you gone
Hey listen up homes,
Stage is the corner, crowd is the streets
And I rap the bread of life because they dying to eat,
And I’m a Rebel,
You know the kind that die in the street,
‘Cause you refuse to conform, won’t eat The King’s meat - yeah
Christ rebelled by shunnin’ the culture.
He eating with the sinners, givin’ pharisees ulcers.
He never got married,
He was broke plus homeless,
And YEAH that’s the God I role with.
Ya boy got a wife, and no I never cheated.
I’m praying for humility whenever I get heated.
Forget about the drugs.
Rebel against pornography.
This ain’t how it oughta be homie, it’s how it’s gotta be
Rebel!
We in a time when sun don’t shine in all places
Typically nose to the grind just to make it
Take the same old, see the same faces
Sayin’ it’s the hand we’ve been dealt so we take it
But if life’s what we make it
I’m a turn the world around
Make the poor people famous
Make the B the new A list
Give your Facebook page a new face-lift
And every status you post
Will compliment who you are
The whole world’s dark
While you shine like a star
Then bring hatred to an end
And watch the honor
Of our generation come alive again

This is how rap was supposed to be done!

We got it, we got it, we got it going on, and yo we got it, we got it, now march to the drums, YO
We got it going on, 300 million strong
Stop the bombs, love riot in the streets, cause
Smile for the camera, your in America
No terrors tearing us, we won’t surrender up
Benevolent and you know, evidence and we sow
Jump out the boat, go, go
We’re singing were swinging we’re turning it up
So let me see all your hands, wah oh, wah oh
I give a shout for the ladies, men still standing
Grant me a wish, and I’ll be dancing, prancing, love romancing
We got it going on in your America, my America, oh America
Hey (hey), Ho (ho),
Now we’re gonna rock it,
‘Till the lights go out (out),
There’s fire in the kitchen again
Hey (hey), Ho (ho),
Now we’re gonna rock it,
‘Till the wheels fall off,
Oh-oh-oh… we got it goin on
We got it, we got it, we got it going on, and yo we got it, we got it, now march to the drums, YO
I’m not the only one, who’s ever held a gun
I’d rather shoot some love, Superman go save someone
They had me on the run, now I’m on the hunt
I got have some fun, before my time is done
Let’s start a riot, a riot, love in the streets
I’m so wired on fire no reason to sleep
I can’t deny it I’m flying, higher then trees
So let’s spark up the jam, woe, oh woe oh
I give a shout to the ladies, men still standing
Grant me a wish, I’ll be dancing, prancing, love romancing
We got it going on in your America, my America, oh America
Hey (hey), Ho (ho),
Now we’re gonna rock it,
‘Till the lights go out (out),
There’s fire in the kitchen again
Hey (hey), Ho (ho),
Now we’re gonna rock it,
‘Till the wheels fall off,
Oh-oh-oh… we got it goin on

This song was stuck in my head ALL DAY! It’s practically the only thing that was playing on my mp3 XDDD Awesome song! (:I found it ironic too, the reference of terrorist scares. I guess its a good pro American song. In reflection with 9/11… 9/11 is over… it’s time to build up, grow up, move on, and be stronger! In all areas of life.
