[Verse One]
|
Everything that ya'll did we done done before
|
And the measure ya'll did it in we done done in more
|
Cats didn't just start livin' grimy
|
Death didn't just start tryin' to find me
|
Vest didn't just start gettin' slimy
|
Been in the streets and we know it's real
|
Been in environments where cats done got killed
|
Over some drug money, see now it's time to change the men-tal
|
Brothas is sellin' they soul over bout ten thou
|
It's goin' down, we scream Jesus who is the soul saver
|
One who experience pain death resurrect as the price payer
|
We need you now cause you're the way out
|
Left death and then stayed out
|
Look over life as the layout
|
The big picture, for so long afraid to accept what we need
|
One who would come down except He would bleed
|
Inject His seed in us, so many issues have been left untouched
|
So when Jesus left He left it to us
|
And I'm ready to bust
|
|
[Hook]
|
We need a way out
|
Take a look and examine the streets
|
The famine in streets
|
Young cats just be handlin' heat
|
Don't speak another word on how it's hard
|
Unless you pointin' me in the direction of the Lord
|
We know it's real thats why we need a way out
|
|
[Verse Two]
|
I done been through hell, and then hell again
|
Most definitely been rejected I just held it in
|
So now I see what you see, plus I feel what you feel
|
So it goes without sayin' that what is real is real
|
I done seen a cat lose his life
|
I done seen my mom lose her mind
|
Escape death like so many times
|
I live for Christ now, livin' life is nice now
|
I live that heavenly lifestyle in my life now
|
So hard to see through you with the truth cause you tellin' lies
|
And I can see to your heart straight through your eyes
|
That you frontin', drug money is stealin' your joy
|
Now you huntin', lookin' for somethin' to give you some joy
|
Now peep game, call His name and He'll save your soul
|
Watch you grow, slowly let go of struggles befo
|
And it'll show, other brothas will follow your lead as the Holy Ghost
|
Draw you in close, and teach you His creeds
|
Cause we need a way out
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse Three]
|
You speak a lot about my area
|
Been here lately? It's gettin' scary and scarier
|
Tryin' to tear down these barriers
|
In the midst of this I found Jehovah
|
I shout now before the storm's over
|
They all drunk but I remain sober
|
Remain a soldier, in this ghetto livin'
|
won't say I told ya, if you die un-forgiven
|
Offered you salvation, this crime we facin' dawg is so real
|
Without Jesus dawg there's no shield
|
Just open field, don't have to leave so I can find peace
|
Mercy and grace follows behind me
|
Covered by blood keepin' my mind eased
|
I trust God on a daily basis, in my ghetto places
|
Til I see better cases, off in my ghetto places
|
I must stay focused on the mark of the prize
|
Jehovah Shalome is where my faith lies
|
It's crunch time, so don't speak about the struggle
|
You share with us nothin' unless you show us how to escape the hussl-in'
|
In this war zone
|
|
