2-13-04 Forces of evil
1st Verse
im standin in a place of disgrace, and its degrading/
wanna grab his joy and embrace it, but it feels i cant obtain it/
i can see his face in grace, and man its amazin/
inside the good is fading, and at my best, i seem to be straying/
so I gaze in the mirror, facing two options/
(1)sell to my soul to and just try fake it/
get big, get rich, and get godless/
or (2) be me, decease and not forsake him/
forces of evil, always persuadin' the fakeness/
i wanna shake it,
but the devils on the my shoulda, with an angel on the other/
both of em are saying be like every other sinner and smutha/
the earth with more the same played out schemes/
feelin crazy and dazed cuz the way it seems/
if i dont play they're rules, then away go my dreams/
disturbed scenes paint pictures witnessed by serene eyes/
often feeling awkward it seems im directed by lies/
cuz the angel on my shoulder is a deamon in disguise/
but steady still i stay my course/
and i already feel i've gotta divorce, myself from the state of these world/
with my voice i hope to change the fate of this world/
2nd Verse
viewing
I see me trying to do good, i know i should, i know the path it leads/
factually im trying to spend eternity chill with the most high master/
but im riding through the hood, and i see crack, and fiends/
and without god tears i cry there is no laughter/
these times are shady, and the aftermath is worse/
so im thinking that speaking this language of hip hop is a curse/
its like people hear my rhymes, but they dont hear the words/
forget the wrong that i've done/
i've found his only son/
so this song that i've sung, i gotta screem at the top of my lungs/
gotta yell i can tell
but now i can tell that hell would be eternally vicious/
so from day to day, i keep my face buried in the scriptures/
with him my worth is raised/
specific words, purge the same, and urge change/
so i merge my brain with new thoughts of wisdom/
thats why i pimp christians, and ho religion/
back to the basics, i got no religion/
trying to do right, in the face of wrong/
only doing life, cuz he gave his own/
im only living life cuz he gave his own/
3rd Verse
this is the story of a child who lost his faith/
took all his might to get him back to grace/
new he had worthe, but couldn't see the fruits of his work/
belived in God, but dismissed tradition/
so he dind't believe in church/
obscurred visions of mansions and dollars/
pastors with followers, of samsons and deliah's
congragations of snakes that trample gods knowledge/
so i enrolled in the bible gods, college/
paying homage, to the one that has done everythig for me/
for it is witout him i wouldn't be/
