Lecrae, BJ The Chicago Kid, 116 - Streets lyrics

Ay we bring this to the streets
Cause they ain't seen this in the streets
But they need this in the streets
Cause it's mean up in the streets
The redeemed of the streets
That used to cling to the streets
Till we saw our thirst wasn't quenched
By the scene of the streets

Ay this ain't aimed at the church
But you might be encouraged
This is for the folks hurt on
The block with the word
See you playing in the dirt
Hoping you can get the birds
Steady sipping on your syrup
With a dutch full of purp
Let me tell ya what's gon happen dawg
This is why I'm rapping dawg
You catch time for the crime
And then the trapping dawg
Oh what's worse, is it could be your hearse
Six feet up in the dirt
Got your baby brother hurt
Or worse still when you die it gets real
You eternally separated from God
For a trillion
Million, billion, eternity mayne
Ain't no number for it
This should be concerning ya mayne
Look, you can't sleep cause
Your sin so heavy
You sweating in your sheets cause
Your sin so heavy
Ready to die, naw dawg, you ain't ready
You don't truly know what's on
The other side young it's sin equals death
So turn from your mess believe and confess
Christ is God in the flesh
He died for your debt, He did resurrect
A tool and a vest don't
Really save you from death

They never saw us coming
They had their heads turned
We faced the persecution
We know the led burns
We know them nails hurt, we know them
We know our futures bright
But it ain't in the stars
We a new generation
Who know the world's hurts
And though we don't rock suit's
We still part of the Church
Our souls hurt too, our burdens hurt too
We want the Lord to be
Glorified on the earth too
We wearing dickies yeah
But we still know the Bible
We young like David was
Ready to start revival
I know some kids in Dallas
Still in Junior High
They ain't trying to pimp girls
Push work or get high
Yea their jeans hanging low and
They keep their hat cocked
But they living by the word instead
Of living by the block
Getting trained and discipled
They changed all their idols
From dudes in the streets to
The God of the Bible

We the redeemed of the streets
That used to cling to the streets
Till we saw our thirst wasn't quenched
By the scene of the streets
So we bring this to the street
They ain't seen us in the street
But they need this in the street
Cause it's mean up in the street
Chasing cream up in the street
Serving fiends in the street
And the screen that they see makes
Them fiend what they see
To be the man of the street
That's why we stand in the street
To tell the whole world about
The standard of peace
The GodMan of the streets
Slain Lamb for the street
That came and died for all of
The sinful people in the streets
Through Him the cycle in the street
When men rival in the street
Could be revival in the street
Take the Bible to the street
Cause His bride should be the streets
Stop trying to be discreet why you lunching
Men and women steady dying in the street
So we pray up in the street
Man we stay up in the street
Cause we find our God's heart man
It pains for the street
