[Intro]

Man I consider my life nothing

If I could just finish the race

And complete the job the Lord Jesus gave me

I live to tell the world His message

Romans 1:16

I'm not ashamed

I ain't ashamed


[Hook]

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy


[Verse 1]

116

A band of misfits

Who get sick at the

State of the world

So we hit strips and spit

Christ Jesus

Who scooped us out of the dirt

And cleaned us

We were slaves to sinful ways

But Christ freed us

Believe us

Because of the Bible that supersedes us

Not due to intellectual thesis

They say we believe in a fool's faith

Cause kids can grasp it

And salvation's granted

To those who ask it

But even if you don't know

Systematic Theology

Or Eschatology

You know Jesus is Who you ought to seek

We ought to be

Sowing seeds and teaching truth

Discipling groups

Of young soldiers

And reaping fruit

Oh yeah

It's a part of our lifestyle

Might sound good on wax

But we living it right now

I wish you would

Catch me on tapes and CD's

But never see me

In the streets

In 3D

B please

We ain't come here to appease

We came to spit these

Spiritual soliloquies

While killers squeeze

Triggers and hammers clap

I'ma strap on my bullet-truth vest

And hammer back like that


[Hook]

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy


[Verse 2]

Man I do this for

The Way

The Truth

The Life

Jesus Christ

Until my soul take flight

The world's the same

Everybody want to cop a chain

Cop a dame

Cop 22's on the Range

Want to cop

Big fortune and fame

And they claiming that

They the reason why the cops get trained

Stop the game

I came here to drop a name

Jesus

The same One that blocked the pain

How many thugs you know

Hard enough to stop the flames

It's like

Standing on the tracks

Tryna block a train

Got the game

Messed up

Stop and change

Mind trapped

All wrapped up in locks and chains

The same God you pray to

Before you sleep at night

The same God you disrespect

When you creep at night

Seek the light

Ain't no tryna plead for life

Talking bout

I'm sorry God

He like

Leave my sight

The key to life

Is none other than Jesus Christ

If you a slave to your ways

Be free tonight


[Hook]

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy


[Verse 3]

I spit these bars

Not to get no chicks and cars

Not for spinners on the wheels of expensive cars

Man I do this for the folk that like to lift their arms

Pray to God Who gave His life so He can give us ours

Man I do this for the blocks in the hood

The Rock's in the hood

Jesus Christ

Cornestone

Getting props in the hood

Folks think we crazed and delirious

Cliqued up

40 deep

All saved

All serious

And if you curious

We got some proof mayne

We got some answers

We got some truth mayne

Telling folks you know that God is

Watching you mayne

Romans 10:9

Is all you got to do mayne


[Hook]

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy

We souled out

Seeking God's face til we foldout

He want it, we got it

We ain't tryna hold out

Break me, shape me, mold me

I'd rather die like Christ

Than live unholy


[Outro]

We souled out

We souled out

I'd rather die like Christ, than live unholy

We souled out
