The Green Light
I was given...
giving the freedom of speech
the gift to teach, but most of all
to testify and witness the truth
I'm sumthin this world ain't used to
but think about it, I'm needed
and I know this world is heated
they know I pose a threat
and God willing I might just cheat death
and as blessed as I am you and I both know
a sin is a sin, but like everyone who acknowledges
his or her wrongs & rights, I too had to be born again
and my mind set is so militant
in a way it's crazy, so I'm a misfit to these streets
so God is the only one who could make me
or break me, take me from this world
thats why they hate me, but they rate me a problem child
wit a guilty conscience and to them everything I speak
is non sense
