Story behind the song
I'm summarizing my lifelong relationship with Hip-Hop and the intervening, intersecting relationship I now have in Christ. This new life is now the focus of my lyrical, musical output. The story behind this song is to make HIM known to the lost.
Lyrics
For The Lost I Spill Gerald L. B.
(Another person: GB, why do you spill?)
1. I got 99 problems, trusting Christ aint one,
I cant run from the knowledge of the Father, Holy Ghost and Son.
2. I went boldly to the throne room of the LORD in prayer,
Took my 99 problems and left them there.
3. Now Im back on the grind obeying the LORDs call, (So far)
He fixed some of the problemsbut not yet all.
4. Jesus Christ will ice em with the greatest of ease,
But not as you and mewould count speed.
5. See the LORD is not a Slackerrr
But a Promise Backerrr
6. He leads me near still waterrrs
And green bays like a Packerrr
7. I do not have to worry -- I do not have to bother
Cause I know the Son, Holy Ghost, and my Father.
8. But did you always know Him? No I did not.
Were you sure of your salvation? No I was not.
9. Did you understand redemption? I understood not.
Did you know Him as Elohim? No I did not.
10. You see Hip-Hop and me were born in 73.
Kool Herc, Cool J vs. Kool Moe Dee
11. Up-rocking, pop-locking, and the back spin
Is how we broke in our Adidas, at least back then.
12. Heaven was never close and Hell was too far
We felt 808 bass in 16 bars.
13. So whats this new culture
Kids like us sculptured?
It just erupted
What else could touch it?
14. Basslines, percussion,
Kick drum, concussion,
15. Casio SK-1
SP12, LinnDrum.
16. Gold teeth, gold chains, and belt buckles with names,
Krush Groove, Beat Street, Wild Style, and Fame.
So what are you telling me? Well
(Chorus 2x)
I tried to do a windmill, but it wasnt for me,
I tried to live sin-filled, but it wasnt for me.
Then I heard the gos-spill and heard whats in it for me.
Now for the Lost I spill, cause the LORD is in me.
(Verse 2)
1. For the Lost I spill at the crossroad or junction
By the Holy Spirits anointing and unction.
2. The boldness of holiness gives me the leeway
To say youre headed down the Infernal Freeway
3. Its got potholes, its wide and its broad
And in no shape or form leads you to God.
4. Get off it, get right, stay straight up the Narrow Road
AKA the Way cast off your heavy load.
5. The road has been paved, Your toll has been paid
By the shed blood of the Lamb and the life that the He gave.
6. But thats only part of it, Thats just the start of it.
Because His resurrection gets to the heart of it,
7. The art of it is this Lamb was spotless
He redeems all the Godless, heartless, and thoughtless.
8. I only hope to be speaking as the Lambs beacon,
Reflecting the Light that sinful men are seeking.
9. Saying with no delay the Narrow Roads the Way
Not the Infernal Freeway that leads men astray.
10. So if youre wrecked or you need a jumpstart
Christ gave us tools to use to do our part.
11. You dont need GPS, a Geo-Positional System
But a GPS, Gods Perfect Son. So Wisdom
12. Is crying out in the streets though few listen
So I got sent to Hip-Hop Highway on a mission
13. Saying give up your Google Maps, roll up your Rand McNally
Yea though you walk through the shadow of Deaths Valley
14. Dont fear evil if the Lord is with you
He sent a Spirit-filled rescue crew to get you.
15. So if youre wrecked or you need a jumpstart
Christ gave us tools to use to do our part.
16. Tools like breaking and rapping
DJing and graffing
To translate the Lords story of what happened.
So what are your saying is
You tried to do a windmill, but it wasnt for you,
You tried to live sin-filled, but it wasnt for you.
Then you heard the gos-spill and heard whats in it for you.
Now for the Lost you spill, cause the LORD is in you.
You tried to do a windmill, but it wasnt for you,
You tried to live sin-filled, but it wasnt for you.
Then you heard the gos-spill and heard whats in it for you.
Now for the LORD you spill, cause the LORD is in you.
