Turn my life up
Yo Shogun Rogers baby
Tell em how you evolve

I walked the earth with a pain, disdain for my birth
Then I met Christ the Healer, gave a cure to the curse
Times before that I didn't think it was worth it
These Christians ain't worth the penny loafers they go to church in
You might even catch em on the same block cursing
If God so good why your life look worthless?
Then I figured it out, why they weren't learning
They didn't have the Spirit so they didn't have discernment
So what they call themselves doing ain't called worship
They don't love the Lord, all they care about is churching
Last one in the church, first one out
First one in the liquor store passing out
But I saw a couple men who would live it out
I was something like Thomas, I laid hands on my doubt
Got my hands to the plow, not my hands to the gun
I thought I was down, let me tell you what I was

I was young, I was dumb, I was just too cool
I was loud and obnoxious, I was just that fool
Love money, love lust, love me, love greed
No limit to my conscience, anything to succeed
I was selfish and conceited, love rage, love hate
A wannabe thug, a plain disgrace
Your boy did a 180 cause the Lord had grace
Sometimes I wanna go back, let me tell you why I can't

I was a slave to the night life, sex and the chronic
The Erk and Jerk, Mad Dog, gin and tonic
Then God pulled my heart strings, yeah He's harmonic
Now I'm gonna live forever, I'm bionic
Put death in a choke hold and slammed it like Onyx
So we can slam dance in heaven, it's ironic
After years of research these scientists couldn't figure
How I acted like a ape but evolved from a sinner
The company I kept loved greed and drank brew
But now my boys love reading Greek and Hebrew
Used to want a Rolls Royce but your boy stayed broke
But I got my own Phantom, yeah the Holy Ghost
It's in a 6 foot frame with a chocolate candy paint
On the highway to heaven on the license plate "Saint"
I turn my life up, you can hear it through the subs
I came a long way, let me tell you what I was

I was young, I was dumb, I was just too cool
I was loud and obnoxious, I was just that fool
Love money, love lust, love me, love greed
No limit to my conscience, anything to succeed
I was selfish and conceited, love rage, love hate
A wannabe thug, a plain disgrace
Your boy did a 180 cause the Lord had grace
Sometimes I wanna go back, let me tell you why I can't

I've been bought with a price, man my life's not my own
Fell flat on my face when I saw that throne
Now I'm humble and I'm wiser, man I serve that Lord
Stay sharp for my team man, pack that sword
Heard about the crucifixion so my life's been changed
I'm cross-eyed now so I might look strange
Got a hope, got a future, got a purpose in life
Build men, send em out man, share that Christ
Love my neighbor, love Yahweh with all my might
Walk it out in the Spirit man, be that light
Show love to my brothers cause they act too tough
Everybody needs love cause they ain't that rough
Got fellowship, read man, hit those knees
Hate sin, flee lust man, God be pleased
I have to bear fruit since I'm claiming Him cuz
I came a long way, let me tell you what I was

I was young, I was dumb, I was just too cool
I was loud and obnoxious, I was just that fool
Love money, love lust, love me, love greed
No limit to my conscience, anything to succeed
I was selfish and conceited, love rage, love hate
A wannabe thug, a plain disgrace
Your boy did a 180 cause the Lord had grace
Sometimes I wanna go back, let me tell you why I can't

Can't go back baby
We've evolved
We were once dead, now trespassers
Now we're alive to God baby
Yes
Oh
Turn my life up
Turn my life up
Turn my life up
Reach Records baby
