We was all born to speak life and live that in return So what we get back is earned - words are my concern When the meaning is lost a souless thought I fought my way here so yes i know the cost I've bought a higher prupose some can't conceive No matter what i say a fool still won't believe And most don't know me but i've been here before I've toured with the unknown and repped with a cause Since day one i've been herculeez strong with word schemes Fitted with thinkin caps noun shirts and verb jeans Servin' fiends for free cuz my gift is my music Pushin' the word to move souls - and not units... - . doing this is a switch from the rest And romans 3-23 is still in effect So don't yall get to pointin' - my flow stays annointed Speak life make it right - for the world to join me Since the birth of my daughters my outlook has changed Second time since the day i got saved First time was when my girl took my last name Vows exchanged one flesh we became Equally yoked - in the sight of god with love Under a banner of faith that's shown from above So everytime i hold this mic i perform in his name And for all yall following my flow is simple and plain And i pray 1 day that you 2 find ya place Be yaself , unique - and not have to trace The outlines left behind - 4 all of us to learn from It's a guide to read - not a lie to deceive So you must make the best out of every situation Procrastination and laziness are not in the equation 4 a successful ride - time is of the essence Can't count on tommorw - so start countin' ya blessings If i see clouds coming in i'll be ready for a flood You prayin' for some rain but complain about the mud And then you fail at times cuz you aim for the lowest grade Now you a man of shame stuck in minimum wage And how about that red white and blue - took prayer out the schools But bush has no problem saying god bless you Must take us for fools - soon he'll be asking us to prove Who wer're loyal to And since 9-11 he's gotten a new job Instead of a war on corruption they pick a fight with islam Cuz david took us on with a pocket full of stones And those plane stones brought prayer back into the homes I feel my country's pain so i know how it's hittin' you And now these stars and stripes don't seem so invinsible But we gonna pull thru in the name of christ We gotta think, live and always speak life Outro / break Speak life - from the highs to lows Speak life - at all of my shows Speak life - if you win ... speak life - if you lose ... speak life in good health ... speak life - when you bruise Speak life - from the mountain tops Speak life - in every style you drop Speak life - if you win ... speak life - if you lose ... speak life in good health ... speak life - when you bruise
