FLAME
Goodness to Repentance
[Verse 1]
I done heard too many war stories, seen too many spared
While God still sustain cats that don't even care
Yeah you should've got shot when dem bullets ricocheted
Yeah you shoulda got robbed but grandmamma went to pray
Yeah you shoulda got hit by that truck on the road
Ain't no luck when you stuck with bullet holes in your clothes
Homie banged five shots, couldn't drop me
I took it and smiled
That's a quote from Tupac wow, look at him now
Everyday cats duck, dodge strays from a range
You think it's simply that dem shooters just ain't shooting with aim
Naw, a Teflon vest ain't the only thing
That's stopping them bullets from eating through your chest

[Chorus]
How many rappers got shot that then died
How many rappers got shot that's alive
How many shots going bang bang
Cats tryna gang bang
How many tryna please God
God's goodness should lead men to the repentance (x4)

[Verse 2]
50 Cent took nine shots, look at his face
If you look a lil closer you can see God's grace
Lloyd Banks got shot, drove himself to the doc
Young Buck got shot but he's still on the clock
Beanie Sigel got shot, thank God he's alive
To add to the list, Fabolous got shot in the thigh
Even Cam'ron took one in each of his arms
Are you alarmed?
Is this enough to seek a reform?
Even the Game got shot but he still breathing
That's a real reason for people to seek Jesus
Complete pieces to the puzzle to come
When His goodness leads men to put their trust in the Son
[Verse 3]
What does it take to make a man turn?
When God has offered the opposite
Of everything that man's earned?
You see God holds every breath
Of every lung that's in every chest
Until it's time to be buried next
His goodness should make us throw up our white flags
Considering the fact that our souls have a price tag
That only Christ could pay the whole with His life dag!
Then He rose while we roll in a nice jag
Man, see every smile that you crack
Every dollar that you make, dirty God allowed that
All the times that you said, man that should've been me
That could've been me laying six feet deep
All the chances that you had, man you should've been stopped
When them cops stopped you, locked you in them handcuffs
Now you scot-free and refusing to live godly
Though you want the benefits of being God's seed
