Street Lights

The world is like an ocean you can swim in it But if you swim without Jesus, you can drown in it Jesus is the life jacket, I wear it everyday I wear it when I go to sleep, huh, I'm counting sheep Tryna make it through the week, without breaking down I have to keep a smile away from turning into a frown whoah Leave every snake exposed, have them in a row Tie a rope around they neck and let them all choke How can I be happy when the world is broke If I gain the whole world I will loose my soul It's easy when you sell your soul Cause it seem like, you're living in your paradise, false advertise You want the merchandise, you're like a mice Heading to your death trap, if you're not careful it will split you in half Let every word speak to your soul, cause, yeah, This is the message of hope like selling bags of dope You were only trying to cope, trying to cope cause you lost hope That's how it is like a pen falling to the ground that's what I hear, yeah, It is hard tryna hold back every tear, man, I must confess You're not a man cause you hold a gun tighter You're not a man cause you had sex with her You're like a fan cause you're blowing in the wind I'm only trying to understand do you know the times we in like (Whoah) They talk about you but this your comeback How can you loose when you don't look back Half court step back with a swish Walk around cool without a stick Every time I run my shoes got grip Had to make it home before the big hand touch six Grew up in a world that is wicked Riots on the street get wicked Street lights turn on by a switch Gunshots heard pass six Out of the heart comes the issues of life Firstborn shot now you hear the city cry like (Whoah)
