Yeah
We gon' smooth it out on this one right here
We got the band in the house, over there warming up
Soon as they gimme the signal we gon' go
I like that right there, you know
Break that down
Yeah, here we go
Every time I connect with Kevin Author
We end up reppin' our Heavenly Father
So just relax and chill
In a minute we'll get in it kick some facts and build
Its action packed (yup!),Packed with thrills
And what happens will fill your back with chills
I'm not rapping to get stacks of bills
And rock shows and have the stands packed with girls (Nah!)
What I need with a one night stand
I'm looking for a love to last one life span (Uh Uh!)
Anything short of that is sort of whack
Caught on your back in more sacks than quarterbacks (Nah!)
And that's not the way I'm rolling out
No wed, no bed, so I'm holding out
I throw rhymes like spears and darts
While I share my art I hope you hear my heart
Here let me tear off a part
And help someone out there steer clear of the dark (Please!)
For a second, Just for a moment
Turn off the Lord's opponents
Put M.T.V, B.E.T on pause
Listen while I speak He gon' call and
All y'all need to do is answer
It's simple
We're sinful
We're sin soaked
He's sins soap
Plus men's hope
He
Brings hope to the streets
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope to the streets
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope over beats
Don't we need life in the streets
Watch me bring Christ to the streets
I'm a bible
I'm every chapter and verse
I'm a revival, a recital of His actions rehearsed
I'm Jeremiah
A fire burning inside yearning earnestly
Fervently trying to turn men to God (Ah!)
Let me ease up on this track (How come?!)
It's just a little to smooth for all that
I'm hoping that a brother don't choose the wrong path
If I do then that means that I'm loose and fall back
Gotta tune out the voices
This life is full of so many choices (Like what?)
Like I never thought I'd see the day that
I would have to choose between Hip-hop and rap
Or like the last election
I ain't know who to choose
It was A.V.P whoever wins, we loose
I gotta choose between a lifestyle adult rated
And God's unadulterated Word
Now maybe you saying I got a way with words
But that's nothing coz some cat just got away with murder
And I'm not finish my job until they've all heard
Of the grace we all need and they receive
Christ in the streets
Don't we need life in the streets
Watch me bring hope over beats
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope to the streets
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope to the streets
Everyday I pray for the streets
For revival that it begins in me
I'm like
Lord save me from myself or
Maybe I need to one myself
Not in a physical sense
That's ill
It's not kill Bill I need to kill my will (How come?)
Cause that's we're the problem lie
My pride, My lies, What I priorities
See, Yo man ain't perfect but since I was purchased
One of the perks is He purges me
And keeps me in pursuit of His Person
And keeps my engine purring like Persian
Cats better recognize
Who keeps us stepping like the electric slide and I
I Pray for my family too
With a whole saved family Lord what could you do
So I, I pray for Ken and I pray for P
For Tanya, Shawna, Aaron, Sheena
For James, Marcus and Kevin too
For Omar, I pray for Neru
For Joshua, J and Donna
That their whole family could bring you honor
I pray for Tai, I pray for Sha
I pray for Judah, I pray for Zi
I lift up my uncles and pray for my aunts
I lift up my Moms, I pray for my Pops
I pray for Margaret
For the Florida and Alabama family
That we'd all be a part of your plan for peace
Please, Take up past religion
Past church, Past hurts and past divisions
So we can, pass the vision along with the legacy
To the next generation with each pregnancy
And I know that this song is getting long
But I, I'm praying that my family is getting strong
And, Yeah it takes more than just prayer
So I solemnly swear and volunteer to be there
Lord save all my peeps
I pray for 'em each
Cause if they could be reached
They could take it to the streets
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope to the streets
Don't we need hope in the streets
Watch me bring hope over beats
Don't we need life in the streets
Watch me bring Christ to the streets
