Jthovn Presents For Life

Lyrics

World, world, world, oh world, please, please, hear me

Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready
Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready
Oh, world, you ain't ready, for me
Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready

I came to bring you all of me
My life built lyrically
Over hip-hop and R&B
Soul, passion, and go-go beats

From the time of a kid in the street
Roaming blocks in the DMV
Trying to find my destiny
By faith, cause my eyes don't see

What I know my God has for me
Regardless of the pain and the agony
Walking with the faith of a mustard seed
I had to learn to face adversity

Trying to be great with humility
Surrounded by hate and jealousy
Of God's grace, talent, and abilities
But I am who I am cause He is He

Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready
Oh, world, you ain't ready, for me
Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready
Oh, world, you ain't ready, ready

For years, I waited till the time was right
To drop For Life, understand my plight
I could've come in like a thief in the night
With all of my might, but I'm a bless the mic

You see, you can't get hear me till you lose your life
Be born again, can you see my light
This is a story of struggle and strife
Learn from mistakes, don't make them twice

I was, a single man with the world in the palm of my hands
Fell in love and became a family man
Had a plan, so with it, I ran
With Uncle Sam to a foreign land

The test of time, we could not stand
Three kids later no wedding bands
Miles away from family and friends
Prayed to the Lord, please forgive my sins

Asked for a wisdom to comprehend
The prophecy given to me by Him
I speak the truth through raps and hymns
Blessed with a woman to love again

Hooked back up with my right hand man
So we can fulfill this plan, take a stand
Lead our people to the promised land, with the Father's hand
Cause can't no other band, do it like we can

My mission is to share my life with you
The good, the bad, all that I've been through
My relationships and fellowships
I spit my mist through rhymes and riffs

Over tracks, we bang them hard like fists
Some will listen while others split
But those who stay will benefit
Ready or not, here it is!
