Want to tell you guys a story
About God gettin’ a hold of my life for His glory
Can’t believe that I wanted to disappear from society
Got a picture in my mind of shaded reality
Didn’t know the reason that I breathed
But there are times in our lives when it hurts to bleed
I didn’t want to let others into my life and let others see
There was something different about the man I was created to be
I wanted to stay hidden out of the mainstream,
But I realized I had been pushed into the jetstream
God’s love is different no need to push and shove,
All you gotta know is the man up above
Easy to say, easy to talk but so many times it is hard to walk
We want to move in the world but we’re standin’ on a moving sidewalk
Can’t explain the emotion that I feel when I am rappin’
Happens so fast words spoken so fast you can’t understand them if you are nappin’
I wanted to try to describe this heart inside of me,
Nobody around wanna cry myself to sleep
Each night praying to the Lord, my soul to keep
Try to stop me from preachin’ the message
My message is blunt and to the point, trying to tell you can’t get a massage
I want you to know the blessing, not sayin’ you need to stop cussing
But where you are at, I am asking you to step up to plate
Walk through the open gate, trying to hook up with the ladies on a date
won’t bring you true satisfaciton and if not done right will become a distraction
From your one true love, the one who gave you life the one who wants you to be His
Now I am asking you the question are you cool with this
Doesn’t matter if you are but if you aren’t I want you to know the outcome
Heaven is real, and so is hell but God wants to see you in kingdom come
Didn’t want to hurt your feelings, but I will shoot with you straight
My past so messed up it seems like it doesn’t have a single human trait
I used to be living in sin, would fall down repent and do it again
This is the real thing, I didn’t want to live my life in sin but now I have the answer
I don’t need no pills or some pole dancer to make me happy
I can have the time of my life without becoming nappy
Didn’t know what it meant to live above the rest,
Trying to be cool and ending the night getting arrested
You trying to blame me for the way I am
Wanting to tell you my homeboy grew up in Bethlehem
Didn’t think you cared didn’t think it was anyone’s business
When I like Judas betrayed the master with a kiss
I try to live a life with no regrets
Tryin’ so hard to get out of debt
I can’t believe this life that was given
A time to repent and be forgiven
I wanted to tell you
But I didn’t because I assumed you already knew
I thought you already heard
How Jesus can change you when you read His word.
I fall down I get up, I trip up and keep messin’ up
Thinkin’ to myself why don’t I just give up
At the same time I don’t want to give up this amazing opportunity
I realize I have been given a chance of a life time
A chance to be free no time for crime
I didn’t want to keep it from you
Had to express there is forgiveness, from a past your afraid of
Knowing all along the thing you needed is love
Wanting to know you, wanting to be there
This song is to show you there is someone who cares
