Hope in the Streetz

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
