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 gospel rap wasn't about or the fame. Remember when it used to be strictly ministry? Now all about who's at the top of the industry. is jealous, full of hate, greed, and envy, now-a-days, I don't even who my own friends be. Be critized, talked about and stabbed behind my back and 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 church seats. But you don't me though, turn and look the other way, but that's OK, I know God would listen to 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 start cryin', but God shows me love, even if I never, win the dove, keep on praisin'!
Pick up my cross and Im'a follow you, even if my stay behind and I'm the only one in my crew. To be man enough to say, "God I am." But people always quick to judge, they don't understand. They talkin' about I real, but who are you to judge me? God be the only one who just what I feel. So many rappers now-a-days, up in competition, that's why gospel rap be full of so much division. Believe me when I say, it breaks my to that we was once in unity, but now we're all but torn apart. It's not about how many records we've sold, it's all how many save souls. Can you feel me? Tears ran down my eyes yesterday as I about 2-Pac's death, is there anyone left to say, "Lord, stand in the gap." My peoples, is you me, where you at, cause Im'a keep on praisin'!
And even though they critizize me, talk behind my back, and me hurtful words. the day I'm dead, and in my grave, it's God I'm gonna' serve. So go ahead and talk about me and your lies. You the one accountable for every tear when I cry. I shed so tears for so many years, God can you help me? I'm to reach all my peers and if you don't hear, Im'a try harder, even if I die from like a martyr. This world be drivin' me hysterical, God I need a miracle, devil keep to hit me when I wanna get 'em spiritual, lyrically, I'm praisin' God with every word I speak. You me, but I gotta turn the other cheek. 'Cause vengence ain't mine, vengence belongs to the Lord. We come together, one mind and one accord. So to those who have ears, let 'em listen to what I'm but even you Im'a keep on praisin'!
