Keep on praisin', up your name, to live in Christ, to die is gain.
Growin' up in the world this industry's cloggin' up my brain, got memories of when rap wasn't about money or the fame. Remember when it used to be strictly Now it's all about who's at the top of the industry. Everyone is jealous, of hate, greed, and envy, now-a-days, I don't even know who my own be. Be critized, talked about and stabbed behind my and playa haters still tryin' to bag gospel rap. My heart goes out to the streets, I'm to reach a thugs and is why you be warmin' up the seats. But you don't hear me though, turn and look the other way, but that's OK, I know God would to what I gotta say. I can't lie though, at times I feel like givin' up when all this hurt n' pain me starts buildin' up. I cryin', but God shows me love, even if I never, ever win the dove, Im'a on praisin'!
Pick up my cross and follow you, even if my boys stay behind and I'm the one in my crew. To be man enough to say, "God here I am." But people always quick to judge, they don't understand. talkin' about I ain't real, but who are you to judge me? God be the only one who knows just I feel. So many rappers now-a-days, caught up in competition, that's why rap be full of so much division. Believe me I say, it breaks my heart to think that we was in unity, but now we're all but torn apart. It's not about how many records we've sold, it's all about how save souls. Can you feel me? Tears ran down my eyes yesterday as I heard 2-Pac's death, is there left to say, "Lord, Im'a stand in the gap." My peoples, is you with me, where you at, cause keep on praisin'!
And even though they critizize me, talk behind my back, and tell me words. Till the day I'm dead, and in my grave, it's God I'm serve. So go ahead and talk about me and spread your lies. You the one for every tear when I cry. I shed so many tears for so years, God can you help me? I'm tryin' to reach all my and if you don't hear, Im'a try harder, even if I die from bulletshots a martyr. This world be drivin' me hysterical, God I need a miracle, devil tryin' to hit me when I wanna get 'em spiritual, lyrically, I'm God with every word that I speak. You heard me, but I gotta turn the other cheek. 'Cause vengence mine, vengence belongs to the Lord. We come together, one mind and one accord. So to who have ears, let 'em listen to what I'm sayin' but even without you Im'a on praisin'!
