[Verse 1 - Json]

Age 16, young and bad I ain't had no curfew

With dudes older than me, couldn't see being in church dude

Instead, I'm in the street with a heart like night

Like maybe I'm like Jay-Z living the hard knock life

Eyes, scarred by light - I'd rather chop and slang

Pop and hang, be schooled how to cock and aim

Looking back my eyes had to be blurry like glass tint

In the rush for my demise, thank God that's the past tense

Lord, I pray the youth will hear the truth in these words

Actually all is vanity outside of you that I serve

Yes! Even this music's a heavenly melody

From the Father telling me to quote to you what he said to me

If I wasn't embedded with the Spirit he fed to me

Life love and joy as I know it'd only be dead to me

But I was resurrected with Christ, the kingdom's prepared for me

If you receive and believe it's a joy you can share with me

Come on!

[Chorus - J.R.]

Amazing Grace

I once was blind but now

Your grace has let me see

Thank God I've been redeemed

Amazing Grace

I once was lost but now

By your grace now I'm found

Praise God I've been redeemed

[Verse 2 - Json]

The Lord doesn't hurt your position, true repentance will get you out of that state

Escape the hand of his wrath, receive the plan of his grace

Listen, I know it seems like the world has a lot it could offer you

And because of it its hard for you to hear that he's calling you

Let me talk to you about the void that you feel

You try to replace it with things but the joy isn't real

I had that, filled myself with the fame and the money

And all my quest was still stressed ‘cause my flesh it remained hungry

The pain was there, through all the herb I was cheefing

It was plain it would be the same until I fervently seeked him

Then seeked him, then saw the urgency of me and my sin

It's an emergency we believe upon him

Look, dawg I'm knowing that the streets is real

And them dudes carry heat for real, listen to me for real

God, he is realer than that

Receive him before he really comes back, 'cause that's what real

Come on!

[Chorus - J.R.]

Amazing Grace

I once was blind but now

Your grace has let me see

Thank God I've been redeemed

Amazing Grace

I once was lost but now

By your grace now I'm found

Praise God I've been redeemed

[Verse 3 - Json]

Lord, my earnest prayer is for my family tree

'Cause it would be (timber!) without you standing with me

I pray, somehow that they would get a glimpse or a picture

Consistent conviction whenever we'll mention the Scripture

Hell is hot, I can't give a drop on the tongue

And in the streets, believe you can leave at the cock of a gun

My homies: this world ain't it, please put your eyes to the light

'Cause who's my mother, who's my brother if their lives ain't in Christ?

I guess, Matthew 10 and 34 is the key

What he came to be, ‘cause there's this war between you and me

Fam, I love you but you're on that side of the fence

I just wish he'd quicken your heart, 'cause I can try to convince

I cry and insist, but without the tears on my cheeks

For years I would weep, praying you would hear when he speaks

Sincere with my speech, if you opened your ears I could reach

I've been sent here to preach through this song here with the beats, so listen

[Chorus - J.R.]

Amazing Grace

I once was blind but now

Your grace has let me see

Thank God I've been redeemed

Amazing Grace

I once was lost but now

By your grace now I'm found

Praise God I've been redeemed
