In this verse I want to talk to the church
You know my brothers and sisters in Christ
There's something that's really bothering me
And I'm turning to you for advice
Lets take a look at the world for a moment
There's jealousy, envy, greed
People that will criticize you in a second
If you don't want to follow there lead
Who's lead is it really do we take our own lead
Aren't we led by GOD or Satan
I was given a choice to choose one or the other
And spent most of my life here debating
On December 31, 1999 I decided to choose God
The best decision I ever made in my life
But family I tell you it's hard
The hardest thing you wouldn't believe
Is not between me and my Savior
I'm finding it hard to get along with my family
Because of some worldly behavior
Let's take a look at Jesus Christ for a moment
My guide, my brother, my friend
No matter how many times I've fallen short
Always has a good word to lend
He gave his life to save mines
Shows me unconditional love with no pride
And if I do wrong the world wouldn't know it
Cause he'll whisper or pull me aside
He tells me to love my neighbor as I love myself
And love the church as he loves me
But unfortunately when I'm looking for fellowship
That love I don't always see
What I see is some family members checking me out
To make sure I'm not a fake
Since we all fall short and no one is perfect
Is that our decision to make
Were called to be the light of the world
Wouldn't you all here agree
So doesn't that mean shinning in darkness
To help other people to see
So yes I'm a rapper, yes I minister in darkness
Yes I have friends that's sinners as well
Yes I fight temptation, yes I slip on occasion
Tell me church does that send me to hell
Yes I believe in Jesus, yes I want be perfect
Yes I suffered for every sin
Yes I want to be successful, yes I want to go to heaven
But only Jesus and myself can stop me from getting in.
Yes I love my family in Christ and I'm very approachable
So when you see me stop and say hi
No matter what you've done or what your still doing
I'm protected by the man in the sky
All I need is love and all I can offer is love
Cause judging is not good for my health
Weather your worthy or not is not my call
That's up to GOD and yourself
So I'm asking you church please to cut me some slack
I'm not perfect and I rap for the youth
And you keep me out the church
They will listen to hip hop anyway
You're just stopping them from hearing the truth
So I'll end with this family if you need me I'm hear
And will do the best that I can
Love always your brother Gauge
