I still got my favor, still pray for all of my haters, Thank God I don't look like
What I been through, all praises up to my savior
Salt of the earth I got flavor, just put me up in the mix, anointing up in my bones
From my fitted down to my kicks
When I walk up inside the church they aint never seen it done quite like this
See its something about HIS love, they aint never seen a boy quite like Rip
No rituals or no faking, a sincere heart I'm just saying, if you would've seen how
I was before you 'd been like that boy need some saving
Folks just look at me like I'm crazy but its all good, real talk. Ask the devil about
Me & he tell you I aint easy to kill off
See he almost had the best of me but I'm walking off in my destiny, a little father
Son and some holy spirit sound like perfect recipe uhhhhhhhh
Get a little taste and you go want some more, all you needs a mustard seed of faith
And watch it grow
How bout a little mercy to go with that grace, pop my cd in & and press play and
You go hear me say
Yall see these tatz all over my skin, Christ took away all of my sins
Tell me what you know about that, before you Start judging let me tell you where I been
Through the valley of the shadow of death, keep my eyes peeled
Watch my step, look at me know I can stand here Proud with my head held high my God I rep
See these tatz all over my arms and these tatz all over my chest, I'm far from your
Average servant but still highly favored and blessed
See I'm a rebel for the cause , here to stretch out your faith, don't put Jesus they
Couldn't keep him in no grave
I care less what people say, I don't follow not religion, don't put limits on yoru
Growth start thinking outside your traditions
I thank God for his forgiveness and I hope I never backslide, but he without faith
Is dead flatline
I'm black on both sides fist up in the air, I got ham for my God yeah I swing for
My savior
A product of the hood, still here cause mommas prayers, retired from living the
Fast life, Gail Sayers
This go out to my hood I hope they hear it everywhere, I'm raging against the
Machine, I might even run for mayor
Some want me to hit the road and never come back, but I'm go keep spitting til it
Stick, thumb tac
Yall see these tatz all over my skin, Christ took away all of my sins
Tell me what you know about that, before you
Start judging let me tell you where I been
Through the valley of the shadow of death, keep my eyes peeled
Watch my step, look at me know I can stand here
Proud with my head held high my God I rep
