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)
