One Time
Gospel Gangstaz Lyrics

Here’s another public service announcement
This is a message for everyone

I come with more boom cause the bounce went
I’m here to make an impact because the energy is high

Straight out the window and did a silly trick
The energy was lost and things got out of control

When it went out, in came the billy stick
Then the police came with their batons

And if hitting 5 kids don't phase you
If you’re not bothered by the police hurting children

Pray in the spirit cause he finna get his tazer
Pray to God because the police are about to use their tasers

And even though the human body can't take heat you'll shocked with more watts than grape street
The police will use excessive force even though it’s not necessary

And before some people get locked up they get cocked up, socked up mopped up
Before people get arrested, they might be injured by the police

In LA where you gots to be saved yeah (black)
In LA, it’s important to be Christian if you’re Black

Cause it ain't enough to have your gat (strapped)
Having a gun is not enough protection

Cause the next man will have a gat too!
Because someone else might have a gun too

So we gotta have Jesus he sees us through
We need Jesus for real protection

Cause satan is witty
The devil is clever

Showing no pity
He doesn’t have mercy

Making life hard in the city
He makes life difficult for people in the city

(What other gangsters?)
Who else, besides gangsters?

The one's with the badges, like every gang where two or three a chigga and hang ya and won't respect ya one time starts who banging
The police are like a gang too, and they don’t respect people’s lives, which can start problems

They jack you up pull out his gat to back you up
The police can harass you and threaten you with their guns

You say something back he'll smack you up
If you argue with them, they might physically hurt you

For survival I lives by my bible
I depend on the Bible for my survival

But still and all I get sweated by 5-0
But even so, I still get harassed by the police

I’m humble but they still use excessive force
I’m respectful but the police still hurt me more than necessary

But even players gotta answer to higher source
Even the police will answer to God eventually

Cause God is watching you I'm praying for you so watch those things you do
God is watching the police, so be careful what you do

When ain't nobody looking, get saved, get your name written in the last book and don't forget to give God the praise.
Get saved and acknowledge God, even when no one is looking

Pray before you shave
Pray before you do anything important

I wish one time was saved
I hope the police would become Christian

Hey mister crooked police they'll be a code 5 by the prince of peace and he got the camera every stamp a brother for nothing and it disgusts him.
God will judge the crooked police, even if they seem to get away with it

So you need to quit your wickedness
You should stop doing evil

If you wanna hit something hit your knees quick
Instead of hurting people, pray to God

I don't go to the county I felt like I was courted on as the deputies surround me to down me
I feel like I’m not treated fairly when I’m surrounded by the police

(buck buck) pound me to tear up me(Sheriffs jail) using that flashlight therapy.
The police use violence and flashlights to injure me when I’m in jail

Supply inmates with shanks.
They give weapons to inmates

Taking the crips out for a hundred, and putting them in the blood tanks, gank what you think one time reloot.
The police are arresting gang members and putting them in jail with rival gang members

And know the skill and do a drive by shoot.
And the police are dangerous, they use their weapons thoughtlessly

Run away run away one time got an unmarked AK watch him spray watch him spray (I'm a pray)
The police are violent and dangerous, and we have to protect ourselves by praying

Tell him you're a christian, ain't hear me, I'm not selling dope but they tear my interior
Telling the police you’re Christian won’t guarantee that they’ll treat you fairly, even if you’re not doing anything wrong

I'm praying for a grace cause if he don't like black meat he might put crack on my back see.
I hope the police will be kind to me, because they might plant drugs on me because I’m Black

And why be scared of a brother with a trigger?
Why are we afraid of gangsters with guns?

Wicked cops bust quicker!
The police can be more dangerous than gangsters

The police got a gang it's the same not equal when they dope deal steal and kill they make it legal swear they good for nothing.
The police are like a gang, but they have power to make illegal things legal, and they’re not necessarily helpful

But when real crime be going on they like," so what? let me eat my donut!"
But when there’s a real crime happening, they don’t care as much and just want to take a break

Do you work as if you're doing it unto the Lord but seems the word gets ignored cause when I turned on the tv I seen the PD beat Rodney.
The police should work as if they’re serving God, but they often ignore that principle, as seen when they beat Rodney King on tv

Come on loc that ain't godly.
This behavior is ungodly

We need to make alteration at the station and you can't serve the nation unless you have salvation
We need to change the system and the police need to be Christian

I know that the law is for the lawless I know you make mistakes cause ain't nobody flawless
The law exists because people aren’t perfect

But when warning shots sends a innocent brother to his grave dang I wish one time was saved.
But when innocent people are killed because of police mistakes, it’s frustrating

I'm not against you doing your job understand me pops,
I’m not against the police doing their job but

I just want to put a stop to the wicked cops
I want to stop police who act wrongly

Holding that racial grudge and won't budge, cause he’s being backed by the wicked judge.
The police are racist and won’t change their minds, because they have support from judges who are also corrupt

Get your heart right in (????) get rid of prejudice police
The police need to change their hearts and stop being prejudiced

Cause the prince of peace ain't down with police brutality so why is your mentality feeling he's a casualty
God doesn’t like police brutality, so why do the police think he does?

(???) instead of putting a grip on my vocals you need to put the truth in a choke hold.
The police should focus on telling the truth instead of controlling people’s voices

I'm scared to get stopped and things cause I never know if there’s another one gonna be hooked on cocaine.
I’m afraid of being stopped by the police because I’m not sure if they might be on drugs themselves

And that points right back to sin again, you ain't right so you you acting like the Anti christ.
The police who are on drugs are just acting like sinners, and don’t represent God

In the sinners state mister discriminate and these are the type of cops that eliminate justice
Sinning police officers are the ones that prevent justice

they say they trying to protect me from the wicked crew.
They claim they’re protecting me from gangsters

But I'm praying that God protects me from you.
But I’m praying to God to protect me from the police

with the trouble scheming will I get the double teaming (????? with demons)
I’m worried I might get hurt by both the police and evil spirits

We need your help, cause criminals creep when it's dark, but first let God check your heart.
We need the police to help us but they need to have their hearts checked by God first

All cops ain't wicked some are good folk,
Not all police are corrupt and some are good people

but if you don't know Christ you’re still slow
But if you’re not a Christian, you’re still not fully understanding

Truth speaks for itself when you tell of it,
The truth is obvious when you say it

and if the Nike fits the Na bail in it
If the shoe fits, wear it

Good cops keep doing good jobs,
Good police officers should continue doing their job well

giving props to the cops for Christ keep serving God
We should give praise to police officers who are Christian and serving God

but those that insist to be satans slaves I'm gonna keep you on my prayer list until you get saved.
But for the police who are behaving like Satan’s slaves, I’ll pray for you until you become Christian.
