I know how it feels when they shoot your patnas up
Get the drop on your opp, go load the chopper up
Then the block stop, hop out man like "Now, wassup?"
Empty out the clip, still you feel like though it's not enough
The feeling in your stomach when it's knotting up
"I tried to talk to God but he don't talk to us"
Yeah, He talk, but you don't listen when He talking, bruh
And every time He talk, you interrupt, it ain't your problem or you...
Wonder why you stumble, wonder why you falling
Heading straight to prison, headed to a coffin
Show me who your OG, why he let you act out?
If he really loved you, man, he wouldn't let you crash out
Sentenced to life, now you never come home
Trynna raise your baby though a letter or phone, uh
They always screaming "Free the homies"
Man, but they don't ever feed the homies, uh
They only mislead the homies, yuh
Said they only deceive the homies
Money will show you true colors, aye
They'll murder you for the right numbers
They'll even come and snatch ya life from ya
I said, it's crazy how they leave ya there
You thought you were friends, man then why he left you bleeding there?
The human mind can be blinded when you got greed in there
Especially when jealousy and envy rooted deep in there
But let you tell it, it's everyone's fault, but yours
So pathetic, man you act so immature
I put the pulpit in the middle of the street
That's why I preach to those who's living in the street
Cuz Jesus is the truth, the light, the way and don't forget it
If you don't really fully surrender, you gon' regret it
I met a girl, used to cut herself
She said she really never loved herself
That's why she used to wanna cut herself
"Everybody else left me bleeding, why can't I do it?"
Listen to what you saying girl, think about what you doing
Come here and lemme see your hand
Believe me when I say that this was never in His plans
See I can tell that you been crying
But don't nobody else know, man that's how you slowly dying
And everyone that said that they love you would only hurt you
And every man you ever put trust in would just desert you
And you were never created for self-affliction
Wonderfully created, to tell you is such a scripture
And nothing ugly about you, it's indisputable
You might be broken, to Jesus girl you look beautiful
Before you were formed, He already knew you
And He never planned to hurt you, He had plans to build a future
I put the pulpit in the middle of the street
That's why I preach to those living in the street
Jesus is the truth, the light, the way and don't forget it
If you don't really fully surrender, you gon' regret it
Jesus is the truth, the light, the way and don't forget it
If you don't really fully surrender, you gon' regret it
You fell in love with the streets, you fell in love with the drugs
You fell in love with the Crips, you fell in love with the Bloods
You fell in love with the money, you fell in love with the greed
You fell in love with deception that a lot of enemy feed
I fell in love with the truth, I never believed in lie
Fell in love with the promise that God will stick by my side
I fell in love with His mercy, I fell in love with His grace
Fell in love with salvation, I fell in love with my faith
And you suffer for all the wrong reasons
You give your heart to everybody and anything, but God
Shootouts, fist-fights, you suffer for that gang, right?
You go and you... you do everything for that gang and does it love you the way you love it?
In the end you gon' find out
Today I'm asking you: let go and let God
Surrender, mayne
Since you give your heart to everybody and anybody but Jesus
And everybody you give your heart to, it breaks and it breaks and it breaks
Shattered heart, right?
You don't know how to trust
You don't know how to love
Give your heart to Jesus
He said "I'm near the brokenhearted and those who are crushed in spirit"
Watch what God does right now
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ
With the anoint that breaks the yoke, all strongholds broken right now in the streets
A pulpit in the middle of the streets right now
Deliverance in the streets, forgiveness in the streets and the healing right now
You can have that if you want it
It's His clone, drink freely
All those who were thirsty, all those who feel unworthy, all those who are exhausted
Learn about the promises of God
He loves you so much, the Father has so much for you
In Jesus name, be set free
Come on
