Ambassador - Thug Joint слова песни
[Chorus]I used to be a thug but now I`m a believerI used to be a thug I know how it feelsI used to be a thug but now a believerNo more thug and no more deals[Verse 1]Ok doc my occupation was thuggin`The whole nine, I mean the robbin` the dealin` the muggin`The Clubin` the premarital lovin`The type to put one in the oven but I wasn`t tryin` to be the husbandSin was Lord and I always obeyed the MasterIt told me "sell drugs" just to get the paper fasterLet me go to church but would let me imitate the pastorIt only let me imitate my favorite rapperSo the deal was I grew up doin` the ill stuffWould fight the cops `til they threw on the steal cuffsGo in do my bid like the mackWhen it was done say, "cool out kids---I`ll be back."But lately there`s been some frictionI`ve been feeling sort of sick from this heart conditionIt`s an unusual affliction, when I do wrong that`s when it kicks in(From your description, you know it sounds like conviction)I knew something was going wrong when I bumped inTo a kid so soft I thought his name should be PumpkinRecognizing he was a weaker type of creatureI decided to take his beeper and his sneakersYou could tell for this kid a fight was a rare sportCause with ease I held him up like flights at an airportHe pleaded, "Don`t take my beeper, I need itAnd, "...not my sneaks, let me keep my brand new AdidasThat`s when signs of the sickness manifestedMy mind said, "Be nice and do what the man suggested."I broke down like a fractionGave him back what I took away like subtractionI`m puzzled and I`m struggling through this distractionThe reciprocal of my typical reaction---dag blast him!I made tracks and then a flash back happenedThat`s when the rugged me kicked back in[Repeat Chorus]Now last week I was in my dad`s black jeepRollin` mad deep with mad peeps smashed in the back seatWe took a back street, a Pontiac tried to pass meI sped up and made him crash by the trash heapThe accident was nasty if you ask meI would have laughed but then it happened again---the sickness harassed meOh no, not again. I had hurt a lot of menBut never felt bad before even when I shot a friendFor ease I thought I should step to the weed spotCause I was loosing my cool like melted freeze popsMy knees knocked as my conscience eaves dropped, found a weak spotAnd said, "You sin too much, please stop!"Peep the situation as it gets deeperI started getting second thoughts about getting` the reeferBut what scared me was the internal reasoningIt was, "God sees you man, and your not pleasing Him"This was hard to swallow like food with out seasonin`Me believe in Him, I rather not breath againBefore receivin` HimYou would see a turtle beat a rabbit and a cheetah in a 100m`s sprintThat`s all that was the last straw I was ready to blast offTo a place I didn`t have enough cash for But with the swiftness, the sickness turned up the pitchAnd with the quickness I felt it clutch me like a stick shift[Repeat Chorus]Yea you have no idea just how absurd it isBut check the word of this witness, now get this---I heard of thisCrew that could rip rhymes murderously, but I heard it would beChristian, I thought absurd as can beAnd churches to me can make the hard rocks feel nervousBut I went because I heard this would be an outdoor serviceI got there and saw mad youth noddin` to mad truthRockin` mad hats and suits and not plaid suitsAs truth crashed through my heart ached like a bad toothThis hard rock got softer than brown spots on bad fruitI came with a heart stone like a statue then the rap groupGot under my skin like a tattooThey rapped about a man diein` and I was cryin`They said He died so I could be saved like Private RyanWe all could see zoomorphically He`s a lionComing to rule from Zion with a scepter of ironTrying to hold back tears that wanted to flow jackCouldn`t control that, it felt like my soul crackedIn half and Jesus started lookin` much biggerthan drugs or liquor or thugs pullin` a triggerAnd it was a first that I ever felt so cursed next to One so perfectMy soul thirsted to worshipScufflin`, tustlin`, my feathers, He ruffled themI tried to duck Him and tried to get back to my hustlin`I must have been affected more than I could have imaginedCause that`s been all I can think about since it happened[Repeat Chorus to fade]
