V.1
Everything that ya'll did we done done before
And the measure ya'll did it in we done done and more
Cats didn't just start living grimy
Death didn't just start tryna find me
Vests didn't just start getting slimy
Been in the streets and we know it's real
Been in environments where cats done got killed over some drug money
See now it's time to change the mental
Brothers is selling their soul over bout ten thou it's going down
We scream Jesus who's the Soul-Saver
One who experienced pain, death
Resurrect as the Price-Payer
We need You now cause You're the Way Out
Left death and then stayed out
Look over life as the layout
THE BIG PICTURE
For so long afraid to accept what we need
One who would come down, accept He would bleed
INJECT HIS SEED IN US
So many issues have been left untouched
So when Jesus left
He left it to us and I'm ready to bust

Chorus:
We need a Way Out
Take a look and examine the streets
The famine in streets
Young cats just be handling heat
Don't speak another word on how it's hard
Unless you pointing me in the direction of the Lord
We know it's real that's why...

V.2
I done been through hell and then hell again
Most definitely been rejected, I just held it in
So now I see what you see plus I feel what you feel
So it goes without saying that what is real is real
I done seen a cat lose his life
I done seen my mom lose her mind
Escape death like so many times
I live for Christ now, living life is nice now
I live that heavenly lifestyle in my life now
So hard to see through you with the truth coz you telling lies
And I can see to your heart, straight through your eyes
That you fronting
Drug money is stealing your joy
Now you hunting
Looking for something to give you some joy
Now peep game
Call His name and He'll save your soul
Watch you grow
Slowly let go of struggles before
And it'll show
Other brothers will follow your lead
As the Holy Ghost
Draw you in close and teach you His creeds

Bridge:
As I examine the Scriptures
In Lamentations 3:40 it says
To let us search and try our own ways
And again turn to the LORD

V.3
You speak a lot about my area
Been here lately?
It's getting scary and scarier
Tryna tear down these barriers
In the midst of this I found Jehovah
I shout now before the storm's over
They all drunk but I remain sober
Remain a soldier in this ghetto living
Won't say I told ya if you die unforgiven
Offered you salvation
This grind we facing dawg is so real
Without Jesus dawg it's no shield just open field
Don't have to leave so I can find peace
Mercy and grace follows behind me
Covered by blood keeping my mind eased
I trust God on a daily basis in my ghetto places
Till I see better cases off in my ghetto places
I must stay focused on the mark of the prize
Jehovah Shalom is where my faith lies
IT'S CRUNCH TIME
So don't speak about the struggle
You share with us nothing
Unless you show us how to escape the hustle
And end this war zone
