What's it gonna take?

Chorus:

What's it gonna take for the whole world to see

That something's going wrong in our society

You need to turn you life around before it's too late

So for you to learn, I wonder What's it gonna take?

Verse one:

Give me the microphone so I can get funky

It's the one and only D-Smooth the holy hip-hop junky

Nevertheless, I'm still hitting with the funkiest rhymes and styles

Bringing you smiles through trials

Ain't nothing to it but to do it that's why I do

The things I do when I grip the mic I'm ripping through

All sorts of barriers that try to hold me back

So if you want to ride hold on you might get whiplash

People come and ask me, Brother what'cha trying to do?

You're wasting time on these kids you should give up too

There is no hope for em so you should just ignore em

The love of Christ through my life is what I try to show em

Each and every single day, I got to pray for the lost

Hoping they repent and then come to the cross

This is way more than a funky beat to rap to

So just listen, I've got something to ask you

Chorus 2:

What's it gonna take for the whole world to see

That something's going wrong in our society

What can it be? There's too may dying

Too many crying and very few trying

Brother can't you see Why you're living this way?

On Judgment Day, What'cha gonna say?

You need to turn you life around before it's too late

So for you to learn, I wonder What's it gonna take?

Verse two:

Will it be a gun or will it be a knife?

Who will be that someone that will take your life?

Will the death of your kid or the death of your wife

Finally show you that you have to change your life

This ain't no joke, two year old babies getting smoked cause of a drive-by

Mamas dripping tears screaming, Why God?

Why does life have to be this way? That's the question I'm asking

Now spread some compassion

I wonder who will take a stand and help this nation

And understand that all man is Gods creation

Now, Do you know that your responsible for what you do

And everything you've ever done will be judged one by one

Ain't nothing new under the sun, nothings brand new

And just because your homies do it, you don't have to

You may fool your friends but God you can't fake

I know you're hurting deep down inside, so what's it gonna take?

Chorus 2

Verse three:

You think not but I can see that tear drop in your eye

Cause someone close to you recently had to die

Why? is the question that's running through your head

You blame God thinking he caused that persons death

Your wife left you cause you fell in love again

You found another love that is purchased in a can

You had a good job but suddenly it stopped

Cause you time and your money got consumed this thing called a rock

You tried suicide cause your boyfriend got caught sleeping with you best friend

You feel neglected, disrespected

cause when you were young by someone you got molested

So many problems, only one solution

I know someone who can be your resolution

You may fool your friends but God you can't fake

I know your hurting deep down inside, so what's it gonna take?

Chorus 2 till fade
