Single mother low income riding the busBig momma making a fuss saying in God she trusts.My uncles 20, I'm 10 taking gulps of gin.He don't realize that we all are engulfed in sin.Gang bangers on the corner got me wanna be downTake a bullet for some city on government groundBy 25 everybody locked or deadTo busy playing around never looking aheadEvery funeral, cats get upset and cryTurn their heads towards the sky trying to ask God whyBut they never looked up till thenEvery other day they concerned with the world and consumed in sinNot Christ just heaven they wantThey think clean means not trying to sling things out of their trunkNobody ever told'em heaven was spotless and we all dirtyThat's why we need a Holy God to wash us
I did it for youI opened up my life and shared my lifeSo that you can see we all need ChristI did it for youIf you can understand my painMaybe you can see we all need changeI did it for youGave you my life my pain my hurtMan I hope this workI did it for youSince Christ died for sinI never be the same againI did it for you
Young dude, I remember coming home after schoolChanging channels from videos back to cartoonsUp late talking on the phone under my bedSo momma couldn't hear some of the things I saidAnd it wasn't all bad but it wasn't all goodEven though momma was doing the best she couldI was a latchkey home alone for hoursEntertaining my sin And my soul devourPick up by the cops at the age of 12And not because my momma didn't raise me wellI was a drug baby big momma dragged me to churchHated ever minute of it but she prayed it would workI ain't never met my daddy so I feel all emptyLike why he never call or why don't he come get meAnd momma under legalistic teachings and liesSo she beat me and she tell me it was to keep me alivea typical youth I mean A typical youth 16 agnostic and looking for truthI lived for myself, No one ever told me the planGod had to bring redemption to a fallible manGood news really wasn't good news to meCause I never new the condemnation due to meAnd I wish somebody would of told me thenWhat it meant to know Christ and to be born again
I did it for youI opened up my life and shared my lifeSo that you can see we all need ChristI did it for youIf you can understand my painMaybe you can see we all need changeI did it for youGave you my life my pain my hurtMan I hope this workI did it for youSince Christ died for sinI never be the same againI did it for you
They say Mac got saved and X is a ChristianWell I don't really know them but I pray they're both listeningIt's hard trying to grow up in a sinful landAnd you don't have an example of a Godly manWell hold on; just keep your eyes on ChristWhen we enter in the world, man our lives alrightThey say heaven has a ghetto but that ain't trueAnd if God has a standard then that ain't you and that ain't meThat's what I learned late one night when a man named James White changed my lifeHe told me that Christ paid the price for sinEvery lie I ever told Christ died for themSee, I never knew I offended God I just knew I really wasn't trying to live for GodAnd my sins all cost me, Yeah pretty costlyI couldn't blame the hood for the death sin bought meAll that I could do was blame myself and realize there was no way I could change myselfSo I trusted Christ with my lustful lifeAnd he saved me that's why I am trying to touch the micYeah so if you ask who I am spitting this to, that's right y'all I did it for youAnd if you ask who I have written this to, that's right I did it for you
