Bryann T - Perfect Portrait lyrics
[Bryann T - Perfect Portrait lyrics]
You ever had an aching in your chest?
Literally felt like your heart was
Breaking in your chest?
The homeboys out here banging for their set
Death and disappointment are the
Only thing they get it′s foolish to say the
Fast life is beautiful
Bringing flowers for the family
At the funeral
Like why he have to die like this?
Thinking 'I don′t wanna die like this
Father, not like this'
I blame the devil for
The conflict and confusion
Pollution and prostitution
The drugs and thе distribution
I blame the devil for thе
Evil that's in humans
′Cause he ain′t gonna stop til
He see everything is ruined
I came to the conclusion Jesus
Christ is the solution
All these senseless killings and shootings
Out here is stupid
That's why I make music for the Kingdom
Salvation found in Jesus
I love to speak by this freedom
Only Christ could change the
Heart of a heathen
Release him from the clutch of the
Evil one and his demons
And God′s the only reason you're breathing
So be grateful that your
Heart is still beating
Bleeding on this beat when I speak
′cause my pain is deeper
I know I'll probably stain
Some of your speakers
Out here in the street if you′re
Meek then they call you weak
Who'd ever thought one day I'd
Grow to be a preacher
I pray, for your safety, for your soul
I pray, may He cover you, guide you
Make your path straight
Showing you a perfect portrait of His grace
In Jesus′ name, I pray, I pray, Amen
That′s why I'm praying for your life
Man, you say you from the gutter
You′re always gonna meet somebody tougher
Don't be playing with your life
Everybody gotta struggle
If you really wanna stay up out of trouble
Boy you better take my advice
I don′t wanna see you suffer
Hey, lil brother
I'm just trying to lead you right
I′m just trying to teach you right
Why you trying to roll your eyes?
You would listen if you
Really knew what's wise
So take a walk through the graveyard
Throw your new shoes on everybody forget you
You're just a name on a tombstone
Think you were brave, huh?
Go ahead, play hard but, man
There ain′t no glory in this criminal story
I said "Jesus of Nazareth
Teach me obedience i promise to follow You
Not just when It′s convenient"
I pledge my love and allegiance
Even face death for the Church
It's a beautiful thing
When you know the King He comes first
You bring Heaven to earth
I pray, for your safety, for your soul
I pray, may He cover you, guide you
Make your path straight
Showing you a perfect portrait of His grace
In Jesus′ name, I pray, I pray
I pray, for your safety, for your soul
I pray, may He cover you, guide you
Make your path straight
Showing you a perfect portrait of His grace
In Jesus' name, I pray, I pray, Amen

The homeboys out here banging for their set
