[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

[01:26.08]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

[02:45.44]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
