| [00:02.30] |
I did it for you |
| [00:04.07] |
I did it for you |
| [00:08.08] |
I did it for you |
| [00:11.02] |
That's why I did it yea'll |
| [00:13.08] |
For all the listeners |
| [00:15.55] |

| [00:17.94] |
That's why I do what I do |
| [00:21.38] |
I did it for you |
| [00:28.18] |
Single mother low income riding the bus |
| [00:30.79] |
Big momma making a fuss saying in God she trusts |
| [00:33.20] |
My uncles 20, I'm 10 taking gulps of gin |
| [00:35.57] |
He don't realize that we all are engulfed in sin |
| [00:37.97] |
Gang bangers on the corner got me wanna be down |
| [00:40.30] |
Take a bullet for some city on government ground |
| [00:42.72] |
By 25 everybody locked or died |
| [00:45.08] |
To busy playing around never looking ahead |
| [00:47.50] |
Every funeral, cats get upset and cry |
| [00:49.91] |
Turn their heads towards the sky trying to ask God why |
| [00:52.38] |
But they never looked up till then |
| [00:54.43] |
Every other day they concerned with the world and consumed in sin |
| [00:57.04] |
Not Christ just heaven they want |
| [00:58.85] |
They think clean means not trying to sling things out of their trunk |
| [01:01.96] |
Nobody ever to them heaven was spotless and we all dirty |
| [01:04.78] |
That's why we need a Holy God to wash us |
| [01:06.79] |
I did it for you |
| [01:07.83] |
I opened up my life and shared my life |
| [01:08.85] |
So that you can see we all need Christ |
| [01:10.96] |
I did it for you |
| [01:12.06] |
If you can understand my pain |
| [01:13.63] |
Maybe you can see we all need change |
| [01:15.60] |
I did it for you |
| [01:16.75] |
Can view my life my pain my hurt |
| [01:19.17] |
Man I hope this work |
| [01:20.33] |
I did it for you |
| [01:21.95] |
Sense Christ died for sin |
| [01:23.36] |
I never be the same again |
| [01:25.53] |
I did it for you |
| [01:26.08] |
Young dude, I remember coming home after school |
| [01:28.20] |
Changing channels from videos back to cartoons |
| [01:30.56] |
Up late talking on the phone under my bed |
| [01:32.93] |
So momma couldn't hear some of the things I said |
| [01:35.38] |
And it wasn't all bad but it wasn't all good |
| [01:37.74] |
Even though momma was doing the best she could |
| [01:40.17] |
I was a latchkey home alone for hours |
| [01:42.49] |
Entertaining my sin and my soul devour |
| [01:44.95] |
Pick up by the cops at the age of 12 |
| [01:47.31] |
And not because my momma didn't raise me well |
| [01:49.73] |
I was a drug baby big momma dragged me to church |
| [01:52.04] |
Hated ever minute of it but she prayed it would work |
| [01:54.34] |
I ain't never met my daddy so I feel all empty |
| [01:57.65] |
Like why he never call or why don't he come get me |
| [01:59.81] |
And momma under legalistic teachings and lies |
| [02:02.27] |
So she beat me and she tell me it was to keep me alive |
| [02:04.48] |
A typical youth I mean A typical youth 16 agnostic and looking for truth |
| [02:09.01] |
I lived for myself, No one ever told me the plan |
| [02:11.70] |
God had to bring redemption to a fallible man |
| [02:14.12] |
Good news really wasn't good news to me |
| [02:16.38] |
Cause I never new the condemnation due to me |
| [02:18.86] |
And I wish somebody would of told me then |
| [02:21.28] |
What it meant to know Christ and to be born again |
| [02:23.01] |
I did it for you |
| [02:24.30] |
I opened up my life and shared my life |
| [02:26.18] |
So that you can see we all need Christ |
| [02:28.11] |
I did it for you |
| [02:29.01] |
If you can understand my pain |
| [02:30.87] |
Maybe you can see we all need change |
| [02:32.69] |
I did it for you |
| [02:33.15] |
Can view my life my pain my hurt |
| [02:35.77] |
Man I hope this work |
| [02:37.57] |

| [02:38.83] |

| [02:40.46] |

| [02:42.46] |
I did it for you |
| [02:43.37] |
They say Mac got saved and X is a Christian |
| [02:45.44] |
Well I don't really know them but I pray they both listen |
| [02:47.22] |
It's hard trying to grow up in a sinful land |
| [02:49.98] |
And you don't have an example of a Godly man |
| [02:52.44] |
Well hold on; just keep your eyes on Christ |
| [02:54.90] |
When we enter in the world, man our lives alright |
| [02:57.00] |
They say heaven has a ghetto but that an't true |
| [02:59.56] |
And if God has a standard then that an't you and that an't me |
| [03:01.98] |
That's what I learned late one night when a man named James White changed my life |
| [03:06.79] |
He told me that Christ paid the price for sin |
| [03:09.05] |
Every lie I ever told Christ died for them |
| [03:11.01] |
See, I never knew I offended God I just knew I really wasn't trying to live for God |
| [03:16.17] |
And my sins all cost me, Yeah pretty costly |
| [03:18.79] |
I couldn't blame the hood for the death sin bought me |
| [03:21.34] |
All that I could do was blame myself and realize there was no way I could change myself |
| [03:25.81] |
So I trusted Christ with my lustful life |
| [03:28.27] |
And he saved me that's why I am trying to touch the mic |
| [03:31.19] |
Yeah so if you ask who I am spitting this to, that's right yea'll I did it for you |
| [03:36.49] |
And if you ask who I have written this to, that's right I did it for you |
| [03:40.28] |
I did it for you |
| [03:41.38] |
I opened up my life and shared my life |
| [03:42.28] |
So that you can see we all need Christ |
| [03:44.84] |
I did it for you |
| [03:46.00] |
If you can understand my pain |
| [03:47.16] |
Maybe you can see we all need change |
| [03:49.58] |
I did it for you |
| [03:50.77] |
Can view my life my pain my hurt |
| [03:53.09] |
Man I hope this work |
| [03:54.05] |
