Way Out

[Verse One] 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 [Hook] We need a way out Take a look and examine the streets The famine in streets Young cats just be handlin' heat Don't speak another word on how it's hard Unless you pointin' me in the direction of the Lord We know it's real thats why we need a way out [Verse Two] 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 [Hook] [Verse Three] 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 [Hook]
