Turn My Life Up
Yo Sho Baraka baby
Tell em how you evolved

VERSE 1:
I walked the earth with a pained disdain for my birth
Then I met Christ the Healer, gave a cure for the curse
Time's before that, I didn't think it was worth it
These Christians ain't worth the penny loafers they go to church in
You might even catch em on the same block cursing
If God's so good, why our life look worthless?
Then I figured it out, why they weren't learning
They didn't have the Spirit, so they didn't have discernment
So what they called themselves doing, ain't called worship
They don't love the Lord, all they care about is churching
Last one in church, first one out
First one in the liquor store, passing out
But I saw a couple of men, who would live it out
I was something like Thomas, I laid hands on my doubt
Got my hands to the plough, not my hands to the gun
I thought I was down, let me tell you what I was

HOOK:
I was young, I was dumb, I was just too cool
I was loud and obnoxious, I was just that fool
Loved money, loved lust, loved me, loved greed
No limit to my conscience, anything to succeed
I was selfish and conceited, loved rage, loved hate
A wanna-be thug, a plain disgrace
Your boy did a 180 cause the Lord had grace
Sometimes I wanna go back, let me tell you why I cain't

VERSE 2:
I was a slave to the night-life, sex and the chronic
The erk and jerk, mad dog, gin and tonic
Then God pulled my heart strings, yeah He's harmonic
Now I'm gonna live forever, I'm bionic
Put death in a choke hold and slammed it like Onyx
So we can slam dance in heaven, its ironic
After years of research these scientists couldn't figure
How I acted like an ape, but evolved from a sinner
The company I kept loved greed and drank brew
But now my boys love reading Greek and Hebrew
Used to want a Rolls-Royce, but your boy stayed broke
But I got my own Phantom, yeah the Holy Ghost
It's in a 6-foot frame, with a chocolate candy paint
On the highway to heaven, with a license plate SAINT
I turn my life up, you can hear it through the subs
I came a long way, let me tell you what I was

VERSE 3:
I've been bought with a price man, my life's not my own
Fell flat on my face when I saw that throne
Now I'm humble and I'm wiser, man I serve that Lord
Stay sharp for my team man, pack that sword
Heard about the crucifixion so my life's been changed
I'm crossed-eye now, so I might look strange
Got a hope, got a future, got a purpose in life
Build men, send them out, man share that Christ
Love my neighbor, love Yahweh with all my might
Walk it out in the Spirit man, be that light
Show love to my brothers, cause they act too tough
Everybody needs love cause they ain't that rough
Got fellowship, read man, hit those knees
Hate sin, flee lust man, God be pleased
I have to bear fruit since I claimed Him cuz
I came a long way, let me tell you what I was
