Once Was Blind
Gospel Gangstaz Lyrics

I'm living life on the run, will I end up in jail or die by a gun
Living a dangerous and fast-paced lifestyle, unsure of what the future holds.

Can't hide when they come y'all know where I'm from, I ride with the son
Recognizable in the community, and always with Jesus.

My outlook on this word is from a G'z perspective
View on the world is from a gangster's point of view.

Find those in a life of sin, get 'em born again is my objective
Encouraging and helping those who live a life of sin to become born again Christians.

Bringing pain like method but I'm west coast Cali tried and tested
Expertise in inflicting pain, tested on the streets of California.

Recorded and pressed it the force is aggressive
Recorded and distributed with aggressive force.

Everyday people die I address it with my street education
Addressing the issue of daily casualties with knowledge obtained from the streets.

And my organization get the sword in my waist and
Carrying a sword for protection and representation of the organization.

Could You come to my rescue?
Praying for divine intervention during a tough time.

Lord 'cause I'm facing a citation
God help me overcome this legal issue.

And it's kind of hard to get the picture
Finding it difficult to understand the situation.

'Cause my frame is shattered
Because I am broken.

My dog took two to the back of the dome
My friend was shot twice in the back of the head.

Left in back of a Brougham with his brain splattered
Left behind in a car with his brains splattered.

Why do the good die young, I heard a voice say
Asking a question about the unfairness of good people dying young.

"Go back to the hood, my son, I'ma wipe they tears away"
God tells him to go back to his community and bring hope and healing.

So I took the under route back
Opting for a more discreet route to avoid danger.

Grab my word then swear can't leave without that
Taking his Bible and swearing not to leave it behind.

It's the Father's business gotta be about
Doing God's work is a top priority.

That committee got my back
The gang supporting and protecting him.

And yo can't doubt that I'm about that
No one should question his dedication.

Trying to make some scrill gotta pay those bills
Working hard to make money to pay for expenses.

I'm out to make a mill if you gonna do His will
Determined to make a lot of money while following God's teachings.

You gotta stay real
Staying true to one's values is essential.

Hustlin' everyday and night trying to pay the rent
Working non-stop to pay for rent.

My momma smoked up here on dope so the money's spent
Mother spent money on drugs instead of rent.

Corrupted by this ghetto living drive by's and killing
Influenced by a violent environment with frequent drive-by shootings and murder.

The preacha's paid and I'm broke so I can't feel him
Pastor is paid to preach, but he is broke and cannot relate or connect to him.

I know the Lord is watching me but He gave us free will
Believes in free will, but also understands God is watching.

I feel that's what's stopping me 'cause I'm in Love with my skrill
Loves money and it's causing him to stray from God's path.

My mind is on deep meditation about me and God's separation
Contemplating the distance between himself and God.

I don't do His will going to Hell is my calculation
Not doing God's will, and believes it will result in going to hell.

That's a sticky situation knowing what I'm facing
In a difficult and unpleasant situation with a lot to lose.

Sin had me pacing repented with no hesitation
Feeling guilty for sinning, and quickly repented.

He brought me from a life of sin, sin, drinking gin, gin
God rescued him from a sinful life of alcoholism.

But now I'm saved so I know I could make it in
Now that he's saved, he knows he can succeed in life.

I try to tell my friends that's going out backwards
Encouraging his friends not to go down a dark path.

They either dead or in the pen or somewhere scattered
Those who go down a dark path will either die or go to prison.

So I hope and pray God bless all the G'z
Hoping and praying for God to bless all the gangsters.

And open up they eyes, Loc, just like he did me
Wishing for his friends to have an awakening and see the truth like he did.

I opened my eyes and I visualize my current state
Looking at oneself introspectively and seeing the current state.

No God, no faith and a dirty slate, sipping 8 with a life full of hate
No belief in God or faith, and leading a life full of hate and destruction.

Never see the pearly gates unless I make decisions in a hurry
Without change, will not go to heaven.

In a worldly state, my minds reprobate
In a state of being immoral and corrupt.

My visions blurry make amends in a hurry
Unclear vision, trying to make things right quickly.

Deep in the race keeping the pace and keeping the faith
Staying committed and faithful to God despite difficult times.

My buddy T-Dub wasn't evil as the people he faced
His friend T-Dub was a good person who faced evil people.

They found him dead up in the streets with the heart in his waist
T-Dub was killed and had his heart taken out of his chest.

Lord, give me the grace to do Your will, if that's my destination
Hoping to receive the grace to do God's will, wherever that may lead him.

Called to win the lost, my guesstimation
Believes he is called to save those who are lost.

Bobb, Your head as I bless the nation
Asking God to bless their nation as he bows his head.

I wanna thank You, Lord, for saving me
Expressing gratitude to God for saving him.

I saw the light, He shines on me
Experiencing a spiritual awakening and seeing the light of God.

I once was blind but now I see
Previously blind to God's truth and love, but now seeing it clearly.
