    Common (talking)
    phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked,
    but for some reason i decided to answer it.
    on the other end was a french accent.
    he told me we needed to rap quick,
    cause he had did some bad shit,
    and would be gone for years, spending these last two days,
    with his momma and his kids
    when he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it ,cause
    I knew he was a real good person,
    and this didn't seem like it was in his spirit.
    he couldnt believe as much as i couldnt, what he done .
    he said now its time for him to turn himself in.
    no longer could he run, from life, from God.
    start thinkin, why is doing right is so hard.
    I got back to him when we was inLondon discussin the new
    testament
    and how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best
    of it.
    my voice became destined, so I asked him why you gotta go.
    he said you know turn to Matthew 24
    he said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day,
    but the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray.
    as long as God is with you, everything will be okay.
    so right about then,we decided to pray.
