my mind, (hip hop)

With all these things on my mind,
Yo we runnin outta of time.
What?s with this family of mine.
am I really going to Iraq, that's fine.
But am I ready for blood, bombs and mortars,
Bullets from insurgents crossing the borders.
The violence, hate and mourners.

Death runnin so rampant,
Yo get back to the camp but,
Just take it kinda slow,
Watch out for childs playin in the road.
Wait there's a bomb in the road.
Whoa watch out it just exploded,
Grabbin my weapon it's already loaded.
Hey our vehicle just got hit,
A hole in the door that's legit.
Looking around I am alright,
Those guy's shootin at me just for spite.
Shakin yet not stirred, I aim like a spear,
Ready to pounce, the subject disappeared.
What just happened? Boy that was weird.
But I ain't stickin around and askin for directions,
Lookin and checkin for blood, my daily inspections.
I grip the wheel and go a little faster,
Praying, I remember my pastor,
My church, family, and all my friends.
Will I survive?..well that depends.

(chorus)

This soldier left to fight for you,
All this pain and you ain't gotta a clue.
Will I survive from all this hate? We'll see.
Prayin Lord God deliver me.

Yo this place ain't really that bad,
If your names Abduhl Alahmad
But yo I am American and they ain't feelin that,
Being a target wide open, Hey not this cat.
Give me some cover and a weapon
Some steel resolve and I be steppin.
Yo gotta go and spread that gospel to the masses.
Just some time and weekend passes,
Some CD's, tracts and a chest like a Bull Mastiff.
I pray that I won't slip through all of this,
That I can move, praise The Lord, when he shoots he don't miss.
He's aimin right at your heart man,
Before your life, the world and your parents he had a plan.
It includes you whether or not you accept it
You can be with him or against him just test it.
Yo it doesn't matter, if you not,
He's God yo, and everytime he hit's the spot.
Are you gonna be like Christ or Pharoah.
Wide open or narrow,
Be the raven or the sparrow,
Bible or the cards of tarot.
Hey the choice is yours, and that's great.
Our Heavenly Father loves you, but he doesn't rape,
In other words he won't force his love on you or anyone,
Good news man you're Saviour just called, he's on line one.
That?s right brotha, he knockin right now
Pick up the phone man answer the door I'll show you how.
Just hit your knees and pray to let him in,
Pray "please forgive me lord For I live in Sin,"
You can pray if you want to win
There's two choices, live with the world or with Him
It's like throwin a grenade with the pin.
He won't work if you don't let'em.

(hook)
What is done in the dark will soon come to light.
What is written wrong will be written right.
What is written right will soon come through,
What is done in Christ will always remain true,

Yo I believe that to my hearts core,
I breath it down to my hearts door,
A child 7 yrs old cryin and hittin the floor.
Yo I am Christ let me in I got flavor,
Not this world that's bland I am your saviour.
I keep sayin this and screamin it to my dying breath.
But I can't help it, it's my history and that's it.
I gotta write these words for Chirst and can't stop it.
Listen up real close and even your can cop this,
Like the bubble wrap in a box, you can pop it,
Just remember who to give props too,
It's Jesus Christ my saviour and not you.
Hittin these beats with pride,
Yo, cause my saviour is inside.

(hook)
What is done in the dark will soon come to light.
What is written wrong will be written right.
What is written right will soon come through,
What is done in Christ will always remain true,

(chorus)
This soldier left to fight for you,
All this pain and you ain't gotta a clue.
Will I survive from all this hate? We'll see.
Prayin Lord God deliver me.
