The Calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

A yo I stepped out on faith
Like step into a new place
No need for disgrace
Nor the screwface
To them dudes on the Block
That be busting mad shots
Running in spots
And that be ducking from the cops
So pay attention
Cause what I spit is common sense
I bring truth
To warn you of your consequence
Understand
My God sees your pain and strife
From the hood life
To them thugs living so trife
Be not deceived
Cause the dirt you sow in the streets
You'll reap
And if the rules is play for keeps
Then the punishment you'll heap
Little homie I know you're trying to
Establish your name
You do dirt so you can be in the hoods
Hall of Fame
But look what happens
To them cats packing the gats in
They go all out for a blasting
And end up in caskets
So ask yourself
Is it really worth trying to be thug
Acting bugged in the streets
And get popped with a slug
For the sake of recognition
Son you need to listen
God is calling you
Through these lyrics I'm spitting
So heed the warning
For the Lord is calling
Through your hood we're storming
To wake the sleep that's been snoring

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

Son you need to man up
Start pulling your pants up
Carry yourself with some dignity
And with some manners
Real Brothers stand up
It's time to raise the standard
We're spitting Godly flows
In a lyrical stanza
We're moving in with righteousness
While the devil is fighting us
But it doesn't matter
Cause you know we got the light in us
Satan ain't fighting us
We got the Lord's might in us
We oppose him, submit to God
And watch him take flight from us
Church is time to wake up
Forget your religious makeup
If you're in a worldly soul tie
You know it's time to break up
You know the world hates us
They tried to underrate us
They spit words of malignity
Trying to degrade us
I'm talkin to my Christians
We gotta take positions
No matter how tough these times are
Of oppositions
Stand firm in your conviction
Truth is what I'm spitting
Before Christ left this Earth
He gave us the Great commission
So let's stop this bickering
And foolish competitioning
Wearing out each other's lights
Without no flickering
See we gotta reach the hood
And show'em that God is good
And win Souls in the name of Jesus
Like we should

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

The Calling
The Calling, The Calling
The Calling, The Calling
The Calling, The Calling
The Calling The Calling

This is for the hood
And this is for the church
Our God is so good
He came to heal our hurts
So what'cha waiting on
You need to stop stalling
He calls you by name
So respond to the calling

And this is for the church
It's time to repent
Cause he came to heal our hurts
