:: Chorus ::
It’s based on a true story / People sell out to go after the false glory / Look around – I’m sure you know someone / That’s been through this life of crime son / It’s based on a true story / People sell out to go after the false glory / Look around – I’m sure you know someone / That’s been through, that’s been through.

:: Verse1 ::
This story’s about a cat that’s blowing up in the hood like dynamite. Christ tried to call Him out to light, but he didn’t take heed to the call so he still with his dogs flossing hard at the mall. He always wanted to blow up when he grow up, but now that he’s in that life, he can’t slow up – and he always wanted to be the man. So now through his hands pass grand after grand of drug money, blood money, straight up thug money, run up on you fast pop you wit a slug money. It ain’t funny – he fell victim to the street. Little boys become grown men with heat, as we listen to the beat let’s think about it for a minute. Open your eyes and see this life is ending and life after the first death will be beginning.

:: Verse2 ::
Now let’s get back to this cat that was running the block. Before fifteen he never seen a glock. But now he forced as he say to do what he got to do for the life of him and for his crew. Celebrate drug sales by buying a new shoe, but this young brother still seeking after the truth. He used to go to church when he was much younger, and now deep down inside for God he still hungers. But he stays hard so his crew never questions. Double minded men never reap God’s blessings. So he grows larger and harder, having visions of being a drug martyr. And soon visions turn into real life. He got popped in a drug deal that went trife. He goes before the Father one day soon. A life without Christ leaves an outcome of doom.

:: Verse3 ::
We pass people everyday that need Jesus. Testimonies like ours can surely free us. So all my Christians it’s time to step and be bold. We go from hot to cold and open to closed, we have to stay on our toes. Forget the world. Brothers fix your eyes straight, man, forget them girls. It might sound funny but it’s truly real. Lust starts with the eyes and that’s the real deal. Fix your eyes on Christ and lust and love Him. He turns night to day and bright from dim. Turns black to white and dark to light. He kills the sinful side like that movie “Fight Night”. Let’s meet the king in the right state. Let Him take the pain now and make your life great. You can go in a blaze, an accident, or a fire. Nothing is promised; make your man Jehovah Jireh.
