Description
Reggae in nature and style. Influenced by Sublime and Matisyahu. Lyrics are original and influenced by east coast rappers like Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan and Tupac Shakur. It is a Christian song, but all the influences came from these peoples. I desire to raise an interest in what happens to the youth of our world, through music. Positive Message....
Lyrics
I Shut the door behind me and I ask oh Father what should I do? Cause tonight Lord I don't think that I can make it through. This world is cold, this world is dark and I know it don't care about me and you. Oh yea, Oh yea. It's hard to figure out this world and it's complexities, but I know my Lord and Savior You are next to me. Yea they must be mistaken, they won't catch me faking, cause in You I'm partaking and I know that it seems hopeless for the kids in the ghetto, Megan's only thirteen and she rolling in stilletos. Waiting out on the corner, for guys who be on her, somebody should warn her of the fact that everything that glitters is not gold, there are things that are for sale, but not your body or your soul. I know you're looking for purpose, baby girl it aint worth, and I know that you've heard this. And she tells me "what does it matter man it is my life, who are you to come and tell me what is wrong and what is right?" I shut my mouth and hold my tongue real tight because I did not come here to start no fight I say. I would'nt hurt you girl I'd never ever try. She looks at me and she slowly starts to cry, and she says "I know, I know" and the beat goes Da da da da da da Da da da da da (x 4) Little Johnny's on a mad dash for cash, out here on the streets trying to get paid real fast. Selling dope to the fiends, he looking for green, he's living in a broken man's dream. I tried to ask him man what you living for, he said "out here on the streets and I'm trying to get more. Trying pop my collar, wanna be a baller, trying to stack my dollars, get my chips and bread." Told him bro you gonna whind up dead, he pulled the 45 out put the gun to his head said, "there's enough said, my life aint alright I aint living for Christ. I can't get it together, I don't know what is right." Da da da da da da Da da da da da (x4) As the stop lights flash red and green, and everything is not quite exactly as it seems, it's all part of the schemes, it's part of my dreams the devil came to steal kill and destroy, messing with your boy. He can't get me oh caught up in this game, I'm not the same, and no finger is here to point the blame, but I want to change, I want to change, I want to change I Shut the door behind me and I ask oh Father what should I do? Cause tonight Lord I don't think that I can make it through. This world is cold, this world is dark and I know it don't care about me and you. Oh yea, Oh yea.
