Testimony

A sidebar to think about and further our discussion
of a man i knew with dreams of making something outta nothing
in a neighborhood where everyday's Halloween, no pumpkins
Just fake thugs and real pity in trampoline city, they always jumpin'

Church was the only place he found peace tho he wasnt big on religion
Tucked inside the corner, early Sunday morning sermon he started to listen
Pastor said something that peaked his interest and he started to vision
The better life he could have if he became a devout Christian

Sometimes the truth doesn't rhyme,
that's what he learned buried behind the bible that kept him alive
He found peace with what he saw in his eyes
despite the lies implanted in his mind

He learned to drop the bad baggage and find a good ladder
look up, its not the fall, but the climb
Crawl before you walk, Think before you talk
Cause you've got to live before you can survive
