Way Out

Way Out

Everything that ya'll did we done done before/ and

the measure ya'll did it in we done done in more/ cats

didn't just start livin' grimy/ death didn't just start tryin' to

find me/ vest didn't just start gettin' slimy/ been in the

streets and we know it's real/ been in environments where

cats done got killed/ over some drug money/ see now it's

time to change the men-tal/ brothas is sellin' they soul over

bout ten thou/ it's goin' down/ we scream Jesus who is the

soul saver/ One who experience pain death resurrect as

the price payer/ we need you now cause you're the way

out/ left death and then stayed out/ look over life as the

layout/ the big picture/ for so long afraid to accept what we

need/ one who would come down except He would bleed/

inject His seed in us/ so many issues have been left

untouched/ so when Jesus left He left it to us/ and I'm

ready to bust

I done been through hell/ and then hell again/ most

definitely been rejected I just held it in/ so now I see what

you see/ plus I feel what you feel/ so it goes without sayin'

that what is real is real/ I done seen a cat lose his life/ I

done seen my mom lose her mind/ escape death like so

many times/ I live for Christ now/ livin' life is nice now/ I live

that heavenly lifestyle in my life now/ so hard to see

through you with the truth cause you tellin' lies/ and I can

see to your heart straight through your eyes/ that you

frontin'/ drug money is stealin' your joy/ now you huntin'/

lookin' for somethin' to give you some joy/ now peep game/

call His name and He'll save your soul/ watch you grow/

slowly let go of struggles befo/ and it'll show/ other brothas

will follow your lead as the Holy Ghost/ draw you in close/

and teach you His creeds/ cause we need a way out

You speak a lot about my area/ been here lately?

It's gettin' scary and scarier/ tryin' to tear down these

barriers/ in the midst of this I found Jehovah/ I shout now

before the storm's over/ they all drunk but I remain sober/

remain a soldier/ in this ghetto livin'/ won't say I told ya/ if

you die un-forgiven/ offered you salvation/ this crime we

facin' dawg is so real/ without Jesus dawg there's no

shield/ just open field/ don't have to leave so I can find

peace/ mercy and grace follows behind me/ covered by

blood keepin' my mind eased/ I trust God on a daily basis/

in my ghetto places/ til I see better cases/ off in my ghetto

places/ I must stay focused on the mark of the prize/ Jehovah

Shalome is where my faith lies/ it's crunch time/ so don't

speak about the struggle/ you share with us nothin' unless you

show us how to escape the hussl-in'/ in this war zone
