Everyone needs something to believe in
This is the other type of rap.
"This isn't Christian Rap, it's God-Driven Hip Hop"
Lyrics

I was only 11 when Todd moved here from Atlanta,
Black pants black fubus and I didn't understand it,
A backward baseball cap and a collar that wasn't popped,
At the time I didn't know anything about living hip hop,
But that didn't stop us from growing on eachother,
Burn me CDs tell me everything like I was his brother,
That neither one of us ever had and I'd get so mad,
When people would talk bad about him behind his back,
So I started talking back people said my head was messed up from all this rap,
But they didn't know crap,
Todd moved in the 8th grade made me kinda upset,
He's probably listening to Rakim right now that's my best bet,
[I love ya Todd]
Ch.
So 9th grade came around haven't wrote in a while,
10th grade came around didn't bust many freestyles,
Got caught in the fast crowd could barely keep up,
Keep giving me cup after cup thats what I thought made me tough,
With girls and no relationships my virginity trying to save it,
But at the same time getting impatient
God forgive us of our sins,
Didn't know what to do felt more confused than I ever did
And it tore me apart with many other kids,
Our perception was bugged out we needed some repellent,
To stop being so aggravated in our nature was that of trouble,
But what happened to me that summer still make some people wonder,
[I love ya God]
I went on this missions trip with my uncle in the islands,
To meet girls to go the beach and to work on my tan,
Something happened down there that made everything so clear,
I gave my life to Christ He took away all my fear,
He took away my emptiness and gave me a purpose,
Realized theres more to life than this life and it's worth it to live in His service,
And sure it wasn't easy when I got back to PA,
But to this day I have no regrets and no areas in my life that are grey,
And even if there are days the sun doesn't shine in my direction,
There is never a day God doesn't give me His attention,
And this is the message I am giving to all my people,
To close your eyes life your hands to the sky and [believe]
Hook:
All I ever wanted was something to believe in,
I always knew there was something that I needed,
I couldn't put my finger on it didn't know what it was,
Then I realized it was simply God's love
