Street Dreams

A prophet is not without honour,
 But in his own country,
 And among his own family, and in his own house

 Teach
 To the killer in the street
 To the villain and the thief
 Put this healing on repeat
 Got a prophet on it (Prophet)
 Got a prophet on it (Prophet)
 Got a prophet on it
 Reach
 To the lost and scattered sheep
 Bet it wake 'em up if they sleep
 When they hear the Spirit speak
 Put a prophet on it
 Are you a prophet?
 Put a prophet on it
 Are you a prophet?
 I'm familiar with the streets of the beast, that piece that steel
 Amongst adolescent G's, they teach to kill, yeah
 Star and crescent on my necklace
 My brother thought he was blessing me
 With lessons 'til I stepped into Freedomsville
 Stepping over goners on corners who got caught in them traps (Traps)
 Thought they was on it but torment come with all the success (Yes)
 They missed informants and warrants, all they saw was the checks
 Breaking up weed on the Bible ignoring the text
 I seen the Lord give a warning to overthrow death
 Cause He ain't wanna pay the debt that was owed to the flesh
 Gave the brother chance after chance,
 But he kept going left,
 Until the right was outta sight, his family so upset
 All the dreams the streets ever sold end up in a coffin
 They promise expensive clothes and empty apartments
 They left the whip on the stove 'til it began to harden
 They start stacking up blocks like it's a buyer's market
 Sunny days run away, the sky begins to darken
 Those without aim one day will turn into the targets
 It's God's will the Holy Spirit will replace our conscience
 And we repent cause the bloodshed for sin is now upon us
 Teach
 To the killer in the street
 To the villain and the thief
 Put this healing on repeat
 Got a prophet on it (Prophet)
 Got a prophet on it (Prophet)
 Got a prophet on it
 Reach
 To the lost and scattered sheep
 Bet it wake 'em up if they sleep
 When they hear the Spirit speak
 Put a prophet on it
 Are you a prophet?
 Put a prophet on it
 Are you a prophet?
 Put a prophet on it
 Tell 'em repent for the ending is near
 I sent you in for them to be prepared
 Tell'em repent for the ending is near
 Right in the ear
 Make sure it's clear
 Tell'em repent for the ending is near
 I sent you in for them to be prepared
 Tell'em repent for the ending is near
 But what if I'm scared
 Cause I got fear
 I got fear
 Nobody wants to be hated
 Nobody wants to be hated, no
 Nobody wants to be hated
 Nobody wants to be hated, no
 Nobody wants to be hated (Nobody)
 Nobody wants to be hated, no (Wants to be hated)
 Nobody wants to be hated
 Nobody wants to be hated, no
