Came across these two videos that are really touching...and it goes to show..you can share God's word in every aspect and in every way.
Third Man
My name is Alex I'm a mastermind
Nobody will ever stop me on this path of mine
I got this house mapped out with the date of time
So I showed the map to Benny whose a friend of mine
We'll get the rope and the mask and knives
Benny's eyes going crazy done this many times
But this time yo look check it, no one dies
Use the knives just to scare cause you realize
The government they want us dead so they can come
Understand if they come than we'll run
Yo this is our last one understand
But yo focus on this, we leave as one
Than we sneak, we'll dream about the money
All the people that we killed Alex, wasn't funny
But than I lie to myself... I lie to myself
"Benny what we're going to do, is I know this house down the street.
Around 3 A.M. the people are going to leave, theres going to be no one
in the house. I heard they're rich. We're going to go in, take the
stuff, and leave. But yo! Don't kill anyone this time man, don't kill
anyone this time. We'll scare, we'll use the weapons to scare them,
okay okay, but no one dies okay? So now we creep... you ready?
Lets go!"
I'm so nervous so I shift the lock
As I watch benny use his knife to pick the lock
We open the door, we enter now
Everybody asleep so we settle down
You get the man, I'll check the women
You get the golden jewlery
I'll get the silk and linen
Adrenaline keeping my heart pounding
But thats when I see the soldiers and we're both surrounded
No!
And now it's over now.
I try to run but the three of them just hold me down
I see Benny screaming at the men
We tried to move but no one budged
Now we're standing in front of the judge
Reading a list of everything we did
Telling us both we had a day to live
"Benny I'm so sorry man... I don't want to die man, I DON'T WANT TO
DIE MAN... I'm so sorry"
I'm so scared as I'm walking now
Domecus holding his cross and its so awful now
I sinned day to day
For the first time I start to pray
I see Benny holding his cross
He's so scared I can read his eyes
Than he turns to me "Yo we're going to die!"
Than I realize theres another guy
He drops his cross and he picks it up
Than they beat him down to the ground with sticks and clubs
Throwing rocks
How can they do this to a human being
In my mind I'm just wondering
What has he done that is so harsh for a punishment
And than I see a little girl by her fathers arm
Crying, "Dad he did nothing wrong"
They lay us down and I start to cry
I feel the blood and I start to die
I'm so scared and I want to live
God, sorry for the things I did
I see Benny screaming at the men
"Yo, if you're the king why don't you show us then!"
But then I turn with all my energy
"Excuse me, please remember me... Please remember me"
Scarred
i’ve been scarred in my mind for real.
everytime i try to look away, i remember the killed.
everytime i look away, i start feeling the chills.
lying to myself, what i saw wasn’t real.
i don’t want to rap about this topic anymore.
many of you think i’m using this because i’m bored.
many of you think i’m using them just to appeal.
i’m just asking you, if i don’t speak for them, who will?
time is such a scary thing, i’ve become so calloused.
spent a night with them, i realize my home’s a palace.
spent a day with them, i realized i have it good.
even though i know this, i don’t live the way i should.
i was bitten by a bug, living in that area…
later on i found out i’m carrying malaria.
no i didn’t curse Him, but thanked Him for my role.
cuz now i got their suffering just tatted on my soul.
till the day i die, i will understand their pain.
depending on my God, like a farmer is with rain.
relying on my Lord, my one and only team…
the hardest thing to give up: is my one and only dream.
living in a world where evil is now good.
things i couldn’t do, i realize that i now could.
at times i find myself just screaming at His face,
if i’m not allowed, why tease me with this taste.
and every single time i just feel like letting go.
i remember all the people who believe me at my shows.
think about the power in the decisions i choose.
power to confuse or to introduce them You.
i’ve been scarred in my mind for real.
everytime i try to look away, i remember the killed.
everytime i look away, i start feeling the chills.
lying to myself, what i saw wasn’t real.
i don’t want to rap about this topic anymore.
many of you think i’m using this because i’m bored.
many of you think i’m using them just to appeal.
i’m just asking you, if i don’t speak for them, who will?
under stand i never asked for this position.
sword is getting heavy and it seems like no one listens.
cuts my own flesh but you see i give it more.
my soul is in a state of a moral civil war.
and as i keep on growing so does the army of hate.
who wait for every slip and reason to call me fake.
to the panel of judges: i admit i can’t handle you.
i just hope with every fall, i just become more tangible.
i’m another boy, another son, another man.
i failed yesterday and will fail today again.
i repeat this, to all of those you don’t get it.
if i’m not LYRICKS then why give me the credit.
i don’t want your props or your daps for my flows.
i just hope my raps will just act as sign posts.
i know i’m not as flashy or as attractive.
but at the end of the day, it’s what my tracks DID.
did i show you life or rap about death.
just to be in light did i sacrifice breath
for the riches of the world, did i compromise love.
for the beauty of her face, what did i give up
of course there are times i just wish that i was free.
just to live in today’s definition of free.
want to be rebellious, reppin up the fist.
life would be easy so believing you don’t exist.
i’ve been scarred in my mind for real.
everytime i try to look away, i remember You’re real.
everytime i look away, i start feeling the chills.
lying to myself, what i feel isn’t real.
i don’t want to rap about You anymore.
many of them think i’m using You because i’m bored.
many of them think i’m using You just to appeal.
i’m just asking if you, if i don’t remind them, who will?
