Once upon a time I waz posted on the block,
With a 40 on ma hip and a pocket full of rocks,
Out there acting bad stedy duckin cops. dodgin,
Seen awhole bunch of people so I pulled over stopped.

It's some church folks I wuld say to my suprise,
This preacher came to me asked what else I do but grind,
I stud there for a minute and I took a little time,
I told I'm a rappa so he asked me for some rhymes.

When I was finished he stud there with a smerk,
Then he asked me if he could take ma to some rappers from his church,

He took me to this dude who look just like me,
With sum timz on his feet and a fresh white tee.

When that dude spit I seen the fire in his eyes,
He told me for my sins was the reason Jesus died.

I told him that was dope I asked him what's his name,
He reached n shook ma hand and told me it was flame.

I know this dude that live off in the worst part of the city,
Where bangers get bust and them boys live gritty.

Right outside his crib they be posted sellin dope,
But he moved there cause he know the gospel bring hope.

He take em in his crib bring em right up off the streets,
Give em food for the belly and some books the can read,
I'm glad he moved in cause he so into a need,
If it wunt for dudes like him I'll be still smokin weed.
Out the on the block tryna come up on some g's,
Prolly be up in my grave may I rest or I peace,

He took us in his crib and let us meet his wife,
I was already saved but that day saved my life.

I sat in told stories how that drama got rea,
How they shot uo in his house wife almost got killed.

I sat there with tears in my eyes, every word that he spoke lit a fire deep inside,
If you everytake a trip to the westside of the chi,
Lord life that boy up and his name ron dye.

There's a dude on the corner who out there smokin weed,
He neede to hear the truth cause the truth a set him free,

There's a baby in the buildin who ain't got no food,
Cause her momma out there tryna get it from them dudes.

Ain't nuthin wrong with you goin over seas,
But it's people on ya same street need to be freed.

If you wanna do a mission you ain't gotta look far,
It's some people who need to hear the truth in ya backyard.

At the bustop,
Girls at the beutyshop,
Dudes at the barbershop,
The people at the carwash,
The dude sitten next to you at the coffee shop,
We suppoze to hit the hood til it look like godz block.

Until we die we some urban missionaries,
Until we underground and in the cemetary,
It's time to go to war ain't no time to be scary,
They need the living water that flowing out ya belly.
