The Out Cry of Just One

How many times must I struggle with this mind My inner most thoughts sometimes holds me confined Isolation is a key To dealing with my deeds I get down on my knees And ask the LORD please Don't let me become an abomination in your eyes My soul is dry At times I feel lonely inside Lord GOD teach me to bear Because most people just stare Provide me with your love and your care For I know that your there Help me overcome and become So I can follow your Son The one true Messiah Speaking words of life flaming with fire Constantly calling the devil a liar The enemy's flattering toungue Continuosly seducing me to thinkig that sinning is fun Placing fixtures and pictures You know the ones that always lead you to sin Lord GOD help me summon the warrior within The Spirit of power Which constantly hollers Abba Father No longer must I think like a mobster to prosper This type of thinking belongs to thee impostor See I use to be that kid on the block Who always held the dope and a glock And in pain and in rage I polluted my brains Whith all types of chemicals At the time did miracles I was polluting my physical spiritual lyrical gift Thinking that I was quick swift Performing that nonsense I was sick with a fit Ready to let off on the first man that snitched But I thank GOD for that the REV. Who didn't leave me for dead The holy words he feed And to Jesus I begged Get me out this lonely cell With seven years and no bail At nineteen I uderstood that I've failed But my GOD told me that I would prevail And here I am today with a story to tell
