Turn My Life Up

Yo Sho Baraka baby

Tell em how you evolved

VERSE 1:

I walked the earth with a pained disdain for my birth

Then I met Christ the Healer, gave a cure for the curse

Time's before that, I didn't think it was worth it

These Christians ain't worth the penny loafers they go to church in

You might even catch em on the same block cursing

If God's so good, why our life look worthless?

Then I figured it out, why they weren't learning

They didn't have the Spirit, so they didn't have discernment

So what they called themselves doing, ain't called worship

They don't love the Lord, all they care about is churching

Last one in church, first one out

First one in the liquor store, passing out

But I saw a couple of men, who would live it out

I was something like Thomas, I laid hands on my doubt

Got my hands to the plough, not my hands to the gun

I thought I was down, let me tell you what I was

HOOK:

I was young, I was dumb, I was just too cool

I was loud and obnoxious, I was just that fool

Loved money, loved lust, loved me, loved greed

No limit to my conscience, anything to succeed

I was selfish and conceited, loved rage, loved hate

A wanna-be thug, a plain disgrace

Your boy did a 180 cause the Lord had grace

Sometimes I wanna go back, let me tell you why I cain't

VERSE 2:

I was a slave to the night-life, sex and the chronic

The erk and jerk, mad dog, gin and tonic

Then God pulled my heart strings, yeah He's harmonic

Now I'm gonna live forever, I'm bionic

Put death in a choke hold and slammed it like Onyx

So we can slam dance in heaven, its ironic

After years of research these scientists couldn't figure

How I acted like an ape, but evolved from a sinner

The company I kept loved greed and drank brew

But now my boys love reading Greek and Hebrew

Used to want a Rolls-Royce, but your boy stayed broke

But I got my own Phantom, yeah the Holy Ghost

It's in a 6-foot frame, with a chocolate candy paint

On the highway to heaven, with a license plate SAINT

I turn my life up, you can hear it through the subs

I came a long way, let me tell you what I was

VERSE 3:

I've been bought with a price man, my life's not my own

Fell flat on my face when I saw that throne

Now I'm humble and I'm wiser, man I serve that Lord

Stay sharp for my team man, pack that sword

Heard about the crucifixion so my life's been changed

I'm crossed-eye now, so I might look strange

Got a hope, got a future, got a purpose in life

Build men, send them out, man share that Christ

Love my neighbor, love Yahweh with all my might

Walk it out in the Spirit man, be that light

Show love to my brothers, cause they act too tough

Everybody needs love cause they ain't that rough

Got fellowship, read man, hit those knees

Hate sin, flee lust man, God be pleased

I have to bear fruit since I claimed Him cuz

I came a long way, let me tell you what I was
