You Have To Prove

Someone once told me that my dreams wouldn’t come true
And for some reason I believed them too
So I just stopped trying
And ended up all alone in the dark crying
There was no ignoring the pain I felt inside
But I didn’t show it because of my pride
But in spite of everything else
I decided to start all over myself
I accomplished so many things it was unbelievable
So now the word on the block is “Aaron made it, that’s impossible”
But  that’s where you wrong
I’m standing on my own two feet and I ain’t gonna fall
I’m that helping hand that’ll answer anyone’s call
All of my achievements are adding chapters to my book
So before you fix your mouth to say she’s failed take another look
I’ve grown up to be what I wanted to be
And not some black person they see as charity
So the next time someone says your dreams wont come true
Just think of it as being a point you have to prove

It Was All a Test

There I was standing in awe

The barrel of a gun is all I saw

Thinking I’m about to mutter my last words

Renounce your God or die is all I heard

I’m not ready to die

But God I just cant deny

No matter how hard I try

So I told him no that’s ridiculous

But my friends told him don’t listen to her she’s delirious

I was in my right mind

I mean I had to be in the midst of this crime

I’m thinking about Columbine but it was only me

Every time I close my eyes all I see

Is the face of the girl who was killed for her belief

Then I see her family sitting there with grief

I don’t want my family to be sad or mad

I see it as a blessing I had in this aspect of my life

Because all I ever talk about is the pain and the strife

But this gunman seemed different

Because for a minute, killing me wasn’t important

I had a feeling that this guy knew me

I wanted to see his face so I started moving in slowly

When I pulled off his mask I had a sudden peace of mind

Because now I know it was God the whole time

The whole time it was all a test

Heard It

I was in clique

We had everything we wanted and was lovin it

But then one night I got really sick

And death I barely missed

So I said to myself I’ve had enough of this

I decided to quit

But then I thought about who was the leader of my clique

It was the devil and he wasn’t havin it

So he had his people watchin me closely

‘Cause he already knew who I was about to go see

I went to church and the spirits followed me in

The only thing I want is be freed from this life of sin

So they started trippin and grabbin, kickin and stabbin

Fillin my head with voices wantin me to make the wrong choices

But I don’t wanna go back

So I got down on my knees 

And started beggin Lord please

Don’t let me go back to where I was

When I was drinkin and lookin for a quick buzz

I felt you when I was on the corner sellin drugs

When I was pimpin and low-ridin with the thugs

But I changed all for you because

There’s now a difference between where I am and where I was

So the word got back to who I thought was the boss

He said “get her back, no matter what the cost”

But little did he know the old me was lost 

And the only place you’ll find  it is on the old rugged cross

So the “boss” is now in a total mess

Hatin every minute that I was getting blessed

And then it happened…

I died

What’s goin on? I wasn’t ready to leave

But I gotta remember every thing works out for those who believe

It was really quiet as I stepped up on the platform

And as I lifted my head the person standin there was the Lord

With Jesus at His right and the Holy Spirit on His left

Let me just be real and say I was a nervous wreck

The judgment didn’t take longer than a minute

They had reached a verdict

GUILTY…

A big smile went across my face when I heard it

He said “Well done my good and faithful servant”

Scared? Why Should I Be?

After I heard” You are the light of the world”

It kept me up all night and had my soul stirred

Got people asking me about what I learned

To them I’m acting strange because my life’s turned

They say “ Who are you and what have you done with our  friend”

I say “I am your friend who’s found a love that’ll never end”

They say “ Be for real and stop all the nonsense. You’re not our friend because our friend didn’t have a guilty conscience”

I say “ Whatever  man believe what you wanna believe

Because my new found faith was hard for them to conceive

Then of my friends asked “Aaron why are you so happy. I want that too, Do you think you can show  me?”

I said” Ok, this is what I did. I fell to my knees.

I bowed my head, closed my eyes, and begged the Lord please.”

Then my friend asked” And how will that help me”

I said” It gives you a peace that makes you feel free”

Then my friend said “ This little phase ain’t gonna cut it in the streets”

I said” This ain’t a phase, it’s a condition, and I have it severely. And I don’t care because the streets has nothing to offer me”

My friend says “ Ok, I feel you and I wanna feel it too

But I have one more thing to ask you. Aren’t you scared?”

I looked at him, smiled, then said” Scared? Why should I be?”
