    The Cross Movement 4i3s1r


    Verse1
    Welcome to the city
    Welcome the gritty concrete
    Where cons and creeps sweep sweet, pretty young girls off their feet
    Off the Ave., off the beaten path
    Cops walk the beat and clash with the bad bloods
    The average thug is not a savage but likes to behave like Hades spat him up
    This is "home of" the white tee's over the "wife beaters" down to the white sneaks
    This must be a man's world cause all these girls dress like they're dancers in the club
    I drove up 106 and parked 'til it got dark and watched as the Ls got sparked
    The shells shot sharp and whizzed by and all I could think to myself is that Hell's not far A car stopped
    The window came down
    She lied about her age, hopped in and went down the wrong road
    A song showed her how to get it
    Radio played it, no edit
    Video aided and abetted
    A mom calls on Christ's name as her youngest son takes his slain brother's place at the dice game
    Nice aim...they taught you to aim for nothing and look
    You hit it dead on the button
    And we say it's all good just 'cause it's all hood
    If only we all could live like we should

    Hook
    First we grab the text
    Next we read His mind
    Then we hit the set
    The set gets redesigned
    Redefine city
    Redefine hood
    Redefine all
    Redefine good
    Redefine him
    Redefine her
    We need to try and swim
    Up against the current
    Redefine live
    Redefine church
    Read the fine print
    From the divine Word

    Verse 2
    My XXL tells XXX tales
    Sells XXX video cassettes through the mail
    Since sex sells I guess the next logical step was for them to turn around and sell sex
    I wrote 'em, they never wrote me back
    Maybe it's time to go our separate ways like Kobe and Shaq
    Hold up, rewind that - redefine that
    Imagine the media feeding us divine facts
    What if our magazines felt like they just had to screen what they gave us
    And cared about how our kids were raised up?
    Picture the radio letting a brotha' save a soul and not playin' a jam unless it's showin' us the way to go
    That's what the city could use and needs to see
    New you's and me's troopin' these city streets
    And just in case you can' t recollect how this could be done let me run it down step by step

    Hook

    Verse 3
    Your dealin' with a pity feelin' X villain
    Was feelin' pity for my city Philly that I'm still in
    Lord willin' soon we'll start building up and filling in the gaps between spiritual generations from our past and our children
    We need real women on duty
    Yeah, she's a cutie but her outer frame is eclipsed by inner beauty
    Imagine that - a beauty pageant that's not based on a pretty face or thong
    And where my fellas at?
    All my zealous cats who shed a tear over the fact that Hell is packed
    Cats that's jealous at the way the Lord is treated
    Who see the Lord getting cheated on and they get heated
    That's Elijah for you
    That's the Bible for you
    We gon' take the streets
    That's revival for you
    Tell'em reverse that - run that verse back
    Picture the city of brotherly love with no thugs
    What if the big apple wasn't a rotten one
    And cats were following the only begotten Son?
    What if the 5th Ward had the light of Christ shinning in side of it and wasn't dark as a Sith Lord?
    And New Jerus. was switched up
    And started looking more like the New Jerus of Scripture?
    So 'til that new Heaven and Earth comes down
    Let's show'em how we represent Heaven on Earth now
