Why should I fear tell me why should I frown You wont allow them to bring me down I'm so secure when Your love surround me, surround me Though I feel like I will drown, turbulence is all around I'm so secure when Your love surround me Yeah, yeah I love it when You love love all around me. Where can I go from Your Spirit where can I flee from your presence, If I fly into heavens or dig deep into the earth, If I rise up like the dawn and settle on a different shore, even there you would surround me with omnipresent amour, Uh That's what the Psalm say But is it really true? Cause I can feel the pain But I ain't feelin' You. And I can see these wounds but You invisible. Are You even listening? I'm pouring out my very soul. I open up the Word lookin' for relief, I see a buncha' godly folk who suffer more than me, rejected and betrayed, enslaved and diseased, imprisoned, decapitated they still believed. And though the Father Loved the Son, He suffered more than anyone. Cause love does not keep you from pain but it will help you overcome. Even if they kill my flesh I need not be afraid ‘cause Your love will resurrect me up into my glory days Can I be honest with the Lord Right now I'm sick and tired of these pills I hate being ill, the pain that I feel My faith is rocking and it's hard to be still Spirit of God, got me reading the Book of Job Psalms like medicine good for the soul Use to be on the high now I'm on the low Trouble all around me, hold me now cause I am about blow You said You love me and You give life abundantly So when the storm come, just stand stand and hold faith Don't look to the left to the right, it's me alone You looking for Son you have to go through the fire if you wanna grow Me celebrate because you greater You count my tears with your calculator, uh So blessed be the name of the Lord, the one who looks for the lowly and gives hope to the poor. (Bridge) No matter what we win the race a Jesus Him, open the gate He tell me that He is never late So excuse me while I cut my cake.

God love the ghetto live it like you preach Blessed be the poor Blessed be the hungry Blessed if you mourn Blessed if you want peace Blessed be the ghetto Blessed be the streets Ghetto ghetto ghetto Ghetto ghetto yeah The ghetto we love For the ghetto we pray Ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto ghetto yeah From JA to the USA. Let me set the record straight I am not claiming to be gangster Moody Bible Institute communications major got my bachelor of arts in May two thousand ten and I read Soren Kierkegaard and Dietrich Bonhoeffer for kicks. But I grew up in the LBC and used to want to be a G but gangsterness is inconsistent with my Christianity Speaking of consistency, How can we say that we read, and obey the Scripture if we don't love those in poverty. Pure and undefiled religion, Jesus living at its core Caring for the widow and the orphan, let me bring it home Caring for the baby mama, ghetto boys without a father, bringing hope into bottom Let 'em know that Jesus got 'em. Give 'em Christ holistically, bread of life and bread to eat train 'em in the Word of God, meaning teach 'em how to read how to work how to serve, how to get and keep a job if we do not love the ghetto we don't got the heart of God. Take the Gospel to the hood, both at home and abroad, ghettos all around the planet India to Senegal, Houston in that 3rd Ward, (generation 1) no it is not either or, Love the poor locally and globally just like our Lord. No we cannot do it all, but we all can do it if we committed to using what the Spirit distributed. Each Christian has a gift, but we got it just to give so let's go into the ghetto making everybody rich, with that eternal treasure, not the kind you you hoard and save, but the kind that only grows when you giving it away. The ghetto is a harvest but the workers are afraid, we'd rather send donations and remain where we are safe. But if we follow Jesus don't you know He's gonna lead us right into the ghetto eating with the prostitutes and tweakers. So get up off your keaster, yeah I said it you can laugh, I told you I was not gangsta but the ghetto's where it's at. (Bridge) The ghetto is a place, where Jesus used to live So tell me why some Christians are not reaching them?

(Chorus) They want to see me dead, fall They love it when my back against the wall They want to see me beg, crawl And lose my head, and always drop the ball See you, you're not good to me, you don't care for me, you're not here for me You think them easy All of them want to kill and poison me They bring distraction to idle me. Like they don't know who died for me Lion of Judah me serve, no puppy So I don't cater or respond for no duppy We are God bless, you don't born lucky Kingdom citizen, we not from gully (Bridge) They want to see tears a fall And we give up and lose it all Them love it when we ball But Yeshua we call, God don't sleep They want I man soul They want me to be boxed up and cold But it's Jesus' blood who surrounds me From the enemy knocking on my door. (Chorus) My heart is what they after, me they want to kill They don't want to see me prosper Disappear like Casper You know what I say, you can not touch my family In God's name, they cannot touch Tyshane God is my strength, we don't walk lame Send prayers in the sky like plane And watch the blessings just fall like rain God set a table in the presence of my enemies. Surrounded by demons but I rejoice in the victory. I can see the chariots of fire on the mountain like Elisha when he was stuck up in the city of Dothan. He wasn't trippin' even though his enemies encircled him because his eyes were open to the Power that was helping him. GOD ALMIGHTY! No devil compare, I repeat the name of Jesus 'cause they tremble when they hear.

Little girl tell me why you're scared Why you writing in you hope soon to be dead Is it because of the stuff that your papa did Took your innocence, now you're taking meds.

Mamma got laid off, we was running outta food I couldn't listen to my cryin' little sister when we had nothin' to give her plus we bout to get evicted. You know Chicago winter be oh so cold. Rather do wrong than to have no home, so I went to the dealer, slung that dope, Made that money, paid that note. Mama wasn't happy but she ate that soup, until the undercover Popo came through. No words for that, He staring at me, stared right back. Had no dreams of ice and nice cars only bread and a bed. Now that he behind bars the kid got both but he still can't sleep. Nightmares of his family cold and hungry. And that's a true story, I wish that it was false, I fought back tears when I shoulda' let em flow He didn't need jail, no that brotha' need hope A young criminal with a heart full of gold. And I ain't tryin' to say homie did the right thing, He made the wrong choice but he had the right dream. I know you hurt and you been through a lot but be all you can be. Girl get your spell on like Akeelah the Bee. Boy go to law school, solve the mysteries. Ya hear me? To all my dreamers who wanna go to mars, even if you're in the hood you can see the stars.

You say it's crazy, is it? Yeah, life is like a monster. Skill it. You can be a doctor, a actor, a lawyer, even a governor in California. I know seems like you're reaching for a lot, just keep the Lord first and He will take you to the top.

Eww. This beat is so sick. You hear the static, guess your speakers couldn't handle it. But Ima' handle this. Pass me the mic and let me spit. Woe is me if I don't preach the truth I been entrusted with. Given a stewardship of that precious holy gift. God forbid I compromise to stay politically correct. Did not the Savior say, don't be surprised when haters hate? If they crucified our Lord what did you think would come our way? If you represent His name of course they gonna do you the same. Rejoice in your suffering. Die with Him and you will reign right with Him. If you spittin' somethin' that the world ain't trippin' on then you ain't sayin' nothin'. This is revolutionary son. Don't reduce it to some butterflies and music. If I just wanted a feeling I'd do what the world was doing. We doing something new, something different, something true. 'Cause I'm through with all the lies my appetite is for the Truth. Truth.
