Gods Definition of a Street
God's Definition of a Street
Is what u see when u look at me
Who use to run around yelling
that it was Gerson Park til the death of me
Big ole pistol in my pocket
1st one on the block & the last one 2 leave
Brought up in the church house
but the devil is who I chose 2 believe
Everytime I'd run to get in trouble
I'd always hear a small voice
And torn between the streets & His favor
it was hard to make a choice.
Cause I had love 4 the both of em'
but my life on this W/S was based on survival
That's why it was so easy 2 pick up my gun
and put down my bible.
I knew what love looked & felt like
cause I got it from my grandmas hugs
but I let go of her & Gods Hands
the day I fell in love with the streetlife & drugs
Believe me, I regret alot of things
Like choices I made & risks I took
straight A student in school
but went 2 the streets & became a crook.
I settled for these crumbs out here
I didn't know what the end results was gonna be
I put my life on the line for my Krown
and my comrades who wore black & green just like me.
I am a Street N*×*a
cause I've slept & cried in these streets
I'm one of those that faced death everyday
who didn't care if I died in these streets.
But God's grace is something else
kuz it measured me & broke me down to size,
and God put me in a place
where I couldn't do nothin but open my eyes.
It's called prison & I earned my way in
I was worse in there than I was on the streets
but somewhere in my journey
God's strengths and my weaknesses began 2 meet.
And if I started goin 2 church
What would the homies say about me,
I didn't know how God worked
Plus this streetlife was inbeded in me
But God always has the last say so
that's why I've chosen to surrender
Now u see the birth of a man
and the death of a gang member
The Streets built a callus
around my heart & my mind
And God had to peel me like an onion
One layer at A time.
And I'm still trying to make sense of it all today
while smokin my blunt and pouring a shot of liquor
I am who I am with no excuses
