DEFENDER'S RAP

• I thought my testimony was less the holy,
• I thought I was less blessed then my homies, just confessing only the big sins,
• I thought that was a badge of honor,
• I thought that I had to have a story that was packed with drama,
• But I ain't ever been shot,
• no big crimes, never smoked weed, never drank,
• I never did time,
• I grew up with both parents both cheering me on,
• teaching me basic things like no swearing (no swearing son),
• It's so apparent I came up in the church,
• socially this is where I gave my worth,
• learned to pray and assert my self for God displaying it's worth,
• upon living without playing in the earth, just the average kid,
• you know the type that like to play in the dirt,
• came home with dirt stains on my shirt, reciting the same old verse,
• at the table no games no hurts,
• And I knew I was called before the day of my birth,
•  
• And it's like that, I ain't got no horror story
• Go kept me in my youth I give him all the glory I thought my story didn't flow,
• But now I know the blood of the lamb has saved my soul
• and that's my testimony, I ain't got no horror story
• God kept me in my youth I give him all the glory
•  
• I thought my wasn't dope but now I know the blood of the lamb saved my soul and that's my testimony
• I ain't no gangster I ain't tough cause of rap,
• never been cuffed and stuffed in the back of a patty-wagon,
• I ain't never cuss in my raps, I started gospel most ain't accustom to that,
• Let me get back, when I was young I used to think I was corny,
• Cause I ain't grow up in the projects drinking a 40,
• And I ain't never had no thug dude sneaking upon me,
• And every buddy had the name brand sneakers before me,
• And it made me really made but as
• I bugged my mom and pops taught me never to chase silly fads,
• they told me focus and bought me note books,
• I really had brilliant parents they introduced me to Billy Gram
• See I ain't got no horror story God kept me as a buck I give him all the glory,
• In high school all the pretty girls ignored me called me church boy,
• I wasn't bothered normally though,
• Sometimes I would hate living the life of a saint,
• They saw the Christian boy and light right from the gate,
• thought I would preach so they tried to escape
• but I guess that's just the price of pronouncing your faith,
•  
• and it's like that
• I ain't got no horror story
• God kept me in my youth I give him all the glory I thought my story didn't flow,
• But now I know the blood of the lamb has saved my soul and
• that's my testimony, I ain't got no horror story
• God kept me in my youth I give him all the glory
•  
• I thought my wasn't dope but now I know the blood of the lamb saved my soul and that's my testimony
• Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm prefect,
• Matter fact I took thoughts and conveyed about cursing,
• I was saving my pain it was worse then it should have been man
• I was ashamed just to say I'm a virgin,
• plus I was too afraid to admit I was a Christian,
• I spent most of those days trying to prove I was hip
