Chris Webb
Текст песни Old Friend

(Intro)
For the person leaves the sinful path to walk a righteous one
They leave behind many things, sometimes they need to let behind people
This is the story about facing one of them
- Aye, yo, Chriss Webb, wassup, man?
- How ya been, wassup?

(Verse)
Thought that God forgave my sins, till I ran into you
Your face reminded me of all the bad I used to do
Old friend, where you been is what you say
You seen my Twitter, mane, so you know that I been made new
He don't understand it, I'm scared to explain
How do I tell the dude I stand with that God took my pain?
Tryna relate it verbally into spiritual change
You had to see, the only thing consistent is I look the same
But I m no the same, so why do I feel condemned?
Feel like you talk about my past, and I'm ashamed of it
The old days of broke shame and champagne stomachs
Got so used to think it that I neva came from it
But when I saw you it brought me back, like a heart attack
And a heart that's fat, you askin' me to smack it back(???)
And I'm too scared to know whether or not I have the strength to resist
And not hit it, that's why I ain't call you back
Now you back, so man, where do I start?
You knew me as a hypocrite then, it breaks my heart
You saw me say it and not live it, make a poem and contradict it
It's my cost of sining, I've torn my witness apart
I guess I say I let you down and you ain't even know
You looked up at me for the truth and I ain't let it show
Oh, boy, I'm rooted to the spot, hot like a boiling pot,
My feelings in my face and here we go!
Yeah, I'm good, mane, how's the hood, mane?
That one girl, i don't talk to her, god give me the courage to cut him off
Holy Spirit, gimme words to say and get me off the (???) sewer
Let him understand, lemme plan to see
I can't, I cannot think, I cannot breathe
Why can't I tell him that Jesus is now my everything?
I was blind, now I see, my heart's freein' all my sins redeemed
God has not given me a spirit of fear, yet cowardice is here
Facing me loud and clear, it's like I'm on trial
I'm on stage and he shines his spotlight
Stuck in headlights like I was a deer
And I know he ain't got a hell to put me in
And I know hell is what he is probably lookin' at
And I know this was probly set up by the Lord
So He can see me straight, though I was once a crooked man
And I believe it and receive it that it is my Father's plan
And of course me thinkin' "me do 'smth? You thinkin' in the sand"
Or if I share my faith it'll change my brother's faith
Impossible, if God would be here, then he would say that that's the plan
Go and do it, with no music, with no pastor
He don't need it yet, he need God, the touch come after
He's not happy, I got joy, I'll share with my boy
And I be real, cause I don't need a Christian plot to share my faith
Ok, I'mma share my faith. What time is it?!
You say it's gettin' late, you say you gotta leave,
Hold up, homie, wait! Befo' you walk away, I got smth I gotta say
Aye, man, yo, listen, aye, I became a Christian
As you know, my life befo' was one big dummy mission
My heart was burnin' soul like all the J's we used to roll
But I let Jesus take control and then I lost my taste for sin
And Jesus made me new. Why are you laughin', dude?
Yeah, I'm serious, I'm not delirious
I know you curious, but I changed my life
Cause everything I had was stupid if I wasn't having Christ
Even with the girl's numbers in my phone
And even with the name brand designer clothes
And even if I had a million dolla homie,
I would made to be without the one who made us and who gave us life
I was like Kanye, that was not God I loved
And God was tryna teach me and I didn't learn enough
I should have learned to trust Him while I went through crazy stuff
Like Kanye should have learned silence while his mouth was wide shut
I was a punk, you remember, no matter what I would have given right
My faith got stone worse than ghetto kid's bites
Was empty till the dude introduced me to his Christ
Not foolin', I feel finer than Robin Thicke's wife
Jesus loves you, man, He only wants you to be a part of His master plan
You dead without Him, He'll give you life if you take His hand
He could take your sin and give you the gut to take a stand
Do you wanna meet Him, do you wanna greet Him?
Do you think you need Him? Do you wanna be Him?
Think about it!
