My Life's Soundtrack

(Eph 2:10, Rom. 15:4) [Hook] I’m writin’ the soundtrack of my life It’s mine to recite, but you can bite if you like It’s kinda like the Psalms, I go through stuff to be an example for you So you can identify and apply truth [Verse 1] Ayo my life is the movies, the end was written before the beginnin’ I’m livin’ it now, tryin’ to get out of certain predicaments Predict it if you like, the drama inspires questions Each step makes an impression, so what’s the next one God’s the illest director, moldin’ the best character Wrote himself in the text knowin’ it’s for the better Yo, behind the scenes, demons and angels pull strings Special effects, the devil is vexed, we know his schemes It’s all, part of the plot, whether like or not, but God’s got us Satan is shootin’ blanks tryin’ to stop us ’Cause he knows his endin’ is written as well Misery, loves company he, wants you wit’ him in hell And so we represent Him well like Cross Movement Focus, avoid the hocus pocus, and keep the cross movin’ Tackle obstacles, followin’ the example of apostles Preachin’ the gospel to reach lost souls No stunt doubles available All of it’s uncut and raw, every role irreplaceable It’s the longest runnin’ reality show Six, thousand years in the mix, and at least a thousand more to go Startin’ seven years after the rapture When the stars go on vacation and God judges the actors So when the director retires, you better be ready the hired are few, many are gettin’ fired [Hook] [Verse 2] Peep the screenplay, eighteen year old boy gets saved His family doesn’t understand him, he doesn’t act the same He trashes all of the music he use to listen to Now he’s avoidin’ the TV and goin’ to movies too He’s got a lot of zeal not a lot of knowledge Doin’ dumb stuff, but the Lord is leadin’ Him to Bible College He joins a Hip Hop group and finds purpose His talents convictions and gifts are proven to be virtuous He’s gotta a girl now, his ‘ex’ from high school, this time they’re both saved Sooner or later he knows they’ll be engaged But now he’s movin’ to Philly Though the group has reduced considerably, God’s usin’ the ministry He’s got the bond of a man and his best friend, servin’ the Lord and livin’ together in a place they’ve never been He’s got a brand new family of Philadelphians Who, seem to go above and beyond just to welcome them He’s got a long distance romance Tryin’ to stay consistent while strugglin’ over finance He’s got the everyday temptation of sin Plus the seasonal jobless tribulation he’s in But the Director is promisin’ a good endin’ It’s written in stone, a script with no amendments His directions determined by his decisions Lord willin’ there’ll many more, so keep listenin’ [Hook] I’m writin’ the soundtrack to my life… (x4)
