Cross

[Chorus]

I wear a cross on my heart for all the people that I love

I had to get it from the mud for all my people still here and the ones who sit above

I do away with the man I was before, I had to die

To keep my soul alive, I put it on the line for you, for you

I'd do it all again, uh

I’d do it all again, oh

Look, it ain't no thing to change my ways if it paves a way for you

There ain't no pain that I can’t take if it takes the weight from you, I'd do it all again

[Verse 1]

Huh, yeah, 'cause that's what meant for me

What I been through was just proof of what people meant to me

Even when it's dark, I know my God in here to intercede

Bible in my hand when I go slap away my enemies, alright, huh

It's been a cold play, they couldn't rock with the boy

I saw the blitz, they cross the line to get knock at my joy

But I'm covered, see the slot, then a dot get deployed

On Him

This be a psalm from the heart, it’s a hymn

Play it anytime my thoughts get dim

Put it in a verse, so I can share it with my kin

Put it in my life, so I can share it with my kids

Show ’em how to walk and show 'em how to live

Show ’em how to love and show 'em how to give

Show 'em how it's faith over fear

And how it give you sight to see clear

[Chorus]

I wear a cross on my heart for all the people that I love

I had to get it from the mud for all my people still here and the ones who sit above

I do away with the man I was before, I had to die

To keep my soul alive, I put it on the line for you, for you

I’d do it all again, uh

I'd do it all again, oh

Look, it ain't no thing to change my ways if it paves a way for you

There ain't no pain that I can't take if it takes the weight from you, I'd do it all again

[Verse 2]

Look, I'd do it all again for all my people in the trenches

Sacrifice in private don't need audience or witness

Do that for the love, I never cared about what's trending

While fame be the fuel that's been driving your decisions

That can't be me, dawg, I'm different

What kind of message I'm sending when I'm compromised for an image

Huh, know my position that was giving in life

Give my all if in my heart I know the mission is righteous

I just step forward, willingly give my service

Even when it come with a pain, it was undeserving

This book in my head remind me of who I'm serving

If I'm saving one life, then I know that my life was worth it

In the end, I thank God he turned a loss to a win

And my efforts wasn't gone with the wind

I pray to God they feel my soul

Through the pen, and know my words ain't pretend, anytime

[Chorus]

I wear a cross on my heart for all the people that I love

I had to get it from the mud for all my people still here and the ones who sit above

I do away with the man I was before, I had to die

To keep my soul alive, I put it on the line for you, for you

I'd do it all again, uh

I'd do it all again, oh

Look, it ain't no thing to change my ways if it paves a way for you

There ain't no pain that I can't take if it takes the weight from you, I'd do it all again
