unknown

Let it be know that you heard it from here
When i'm on this microphone you know i make myself clear
With the power, with the love with the boldness
Look in my eyes and remember wo told you this
Payable on death gonna hit ya hit-man
Talk all you want, i don't fear any man
Cuz ya frontin' ain't nothin but words to me
You never had the stuff and your butt ain't crazy enough
To handle, we come step to me
My king is he in the power of three
So what you want you ain't down with us
You get so scared, so mad when i say the word jesus
I ain't down, you preach too much
But if you ask me boy, i don't think i preach enough
I tell you god is real, so don't miss the boat
But since we come off hard, you say we shove it down your throats
You wanna talk that talk, walk that walk
I'm the only person you see, but it ain't me that you mock
Man is nothing, but you think that you're bad
Fool if it wasn't for my god, i would have already had you
Deny his name are you willing to admit it
And if so, are you willing to die for it
Cuz i am, he is my life and i don't fear death
Cuz he already paid the price
All your talk and are your threats ain't jack blaspheme my god
Yo punk i'm not having that, turn away it's your own loss
Cuz all i can do is just take them to the cross

Kick down the teeth of the wicked creep undaground
Where i stay hid lurk down the alleyways, you be stalking me
Behind back talkers, cowards be mock'n me
Try to make me talk, make me confess can't break a brotha down
When there's no fear of death, so you can't stand the sight of me
Next to the conquering lion, at his right i'll be

Chorus
Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me
Braced in your word, i say, i have no fear
Step up punks, get rushed, you can't touch me
Sheltered by your blood, your sweat, your tears

I be all in your face, state my case even if you took me up,
There's another to take my place you waste,
Prisoner to your pride you can never kill me off
I've got too much life on the inside, kill me, beat me, break my bones,
Already gave up my life, you'll never have my soul
Give credit to the on who paid for your crimes
Suffer for his name and i'll die for mines

Chorus

(selah)
Identify your real master, recognize and obey the sacrifice
8x

(selah)

The deeper and deeper i fall, deeper and deeper i seek,
Deeper and deeper i try and deeper and deeper i need

Forgive me
4x

And all i see is your face
2x

The deeper and deeper i fall, deeper and deeper i seek
Deeper and deeper i try, the deeper and deeper i need
The deeper and deeper i fail, deeper and deeper i read
Deeper and deeper i cry, the deeper and deeper i feed

Caught up in this game of life, me against you
Not doing what i should, just the things that i want to
So wrapped up, terrified of what i become
Outside i'm laughing, inside i'm numb
I can't see the light because it blinds me
Try to forget but my past always remidns me
Exposed, looked on by eyes of grace
I'm so ashamed, don't look at my face

All i see is your face
4x

Get up by your strength, i rise up to thee
But i'll stay on my face if you will of me
Shape and mold me til your though
Humble myself, life laid down before you
I need your wisdom, so the truth i keep on living
And your love will always be a part of me
Can't do a thing, if i ain't living for the kind
So don't ever leave or take your eyes off me

It's not who you are it's who you're living for

Trials and tribulations will come

[chorus]
We from the school, the school of hardknocks
Who's ready to rock? (ready to rock)
Are you ready to rock? (ready to rock)
Round'n up suckaz, knock'em, knock'em out the box

Graduate at 13, the streets made me a scholar
Flood the microphone, one by one, hear'em holler
The sure shoots, rock box, rhym'n on blasted beats
Mics on my side, they call me hip hop along cassidy
Rap'n catasrophe, but only time will tell
Could we excel and rock bells like ll
Made me feel i was ill, music euphoria
Went to the doctor, d.o.c gave me the formula
Hey young world, the world is yours
Turned my whole wide world into metaphors
You kept me straight, when times got hard
So let me reminisce over you my god

[chorus]

I came through the door, i said it before
We pioneers, redefining hardcore
You want more mc's and dj's
Dues we pays 8 out of 7 days
In many ways, i've seen a lot go around
Pound for pound from s.d to boogie down
We've been around, bout as round as they come
From all yes y'alls, to dum ditty dum dum
See this is philosophy, on the industry
That there ain't no other brothaz bout as bad as we
You see my squad stays on point
Rock this funky joint.
Can you dig it?

[chorus]
