Hook:
If it wasn’t for the Lord I’d be dead or in Jail
Verse 1 – Witness
Boy I come from that blocka – Where everybody done been locked up
Ready for war got boy’s steady Ridin round the town bangin them choppas
Y’all don’t know what this life brings I gotta lotta dudes who don’t like me
But Jesus saved my life that man is dope I ain’t sellin no pipe dream
I been beat down I been jumped on I been stomped out I been shot at
I been banged on and they came strong but I preach Grace cuz I’m bout that
Life is hard in that jungle and we not understanding your struggle
But the Lord came down cuz he Love You and carried all of us on his muscles
We’ve all made mistakes lil homie stop reppin them flags
Ain’t nobody harder than the man who had nails hammered into his hands
And you can be Forgiven better go and put that blunt down
Clique up 40 deep in the streets redeemed standing here like what now

Verse 2 – Json
Gunshots on the block watch man down
In a city where them boys they don’t play around
They do whatever for a Dollar
Life without a dollar just don’t make no sense (cents)
I came from that I been saved from that
Should of died right there where they raised me at
I got plenty of my homies in the grave from that
But I’m thankful for the Lord I been changed from that
Get dollars sip Patron getting blown while we dippin fo
Only thing I know we used to get it how we lived it tho
Used to sell rocks Should be gone in that cell block
Till ya boy met the Lord and my trail stopped
now I’m living for his glory I been shell shocked
Used to sell rocks Should be gone in that cell block
Till ya boy met the Lord and my trail stopped
now I’m living for his glory I been shell shocked

Verse 3 – Brother 3
If it wasn’t for the Lord I’ll be dead or in jail
really wasn’t scared of much cause my frame wasn’t frail.
Was a pot head hot head could’ve been up underground with a brain full of shells,
But I’m able to tell everything that I stole wasn’t able to sale
Life style quite foul kept tools on the waste no hammers and nails.
Was a train reck but Christ came through and he changed that
Pick me up cleaned me up and put me right back on that train track
Explain that Christ he died but he came back paid my debt no change back
And for that my life never change back.
No amount of money can be made
That can ever ever add up to the cost Christ paid it all on the cross
And he did it all for the lost (delay),
So I’m living life and I’m free, his will is right where I be,
You would never know the name if he aint rose and came and introduced to yall Brother 3.
