V.1

Everything that ya'll did we done done before

And the measure ya'll did it in we done done and more

Cats didn't just start living grimy

Death didn't just start tryna find me

Vests didn't just start getting slimy

Been in the streets and we know it's real

Been in environments where cats done got killed over some drug money

See now it's time to change the mental

Brothers is selling their soul over bout ten thou it's going down

We scream Jesus who's the Soul-Saver

One who experienced pain, death

Resurrect as the Price-Payer

We need You now cause You're the Way Out

Left death and then stayed out

Look over life as the layout

THE BIG PICTURE

For so long afraid to accept what we need

One who would come down, accept He would bleed

INJECT HIS SEED IN US

So many issues have been left untouched

So when Jesus left

He left it to us and I'm ready to bust

Chorus:

We need a Way Out

Take a look and examine the streets

The famine in streets

Young cats just be handling heat

Don't speak another word on how it's hard

Unless you pointing me in the direction of the Lord

We know it's real that's why...

V.2

I done been through hell and then hell again

Most definitely been rejected, I just held it in

So now I see what you see plus I feel what you feel

So it goes without saying that what is real is real

I done seen a cat lose his life

I done seen my mom lose her mind

Escape death like so many times

I live for Christ now, living life is nice now

I live that heavenly lifestyle in my life now

So hard to see through you with the truth coz you telling lies

And I can see to your heart, straight through your eyes

That you fronting

Drug money is stealing your joy

Now you hunting

Looking for something to give you some joy

Now peep game

Call His name and He'll save your soul

Watch you grow

Slowly let go of struggles before

And it'll show

Other brothers will follow your lead

As the Holy Ghost

Draw you in close and teach you His creeds

Bridge:

As I examine the Scriptures

In Lamentations 3:40 it says

To let us search and try our own ways

And again turn to the LORD

V.3

You speak a lot about my area

Been here lately?

It's getting scary and scarier

Tryna tear down these barriers

In the midst of this I found Jehovah

I shout now before the storm's over

They all drunk but I remain sober

Remain a soldier in this ghetto living

Won't say I told ya if you die unforgiven

Offered you salvation

This grind we facing dawg is so real

Without Jesus dawg it's no shield just open field

Don't have to leave so I can find peace

Mercy and grace follows behind me

Covered by blood keeping my mind eased

I trust God on a daily basis in my ghetto places

Till I see better cases off in my ghetto places

I must stay focused on the mark of the prize

Jehovah Shalom is where my faith lies

IT'S CRUNCH TIME

So don't speak about the struggle

You share with us nothing

Unless you show us how to escape the hustle

And end this war zone
