Let's Go
Don't waste your life, man
:Verse 1:
I know a lot of Empeople that are scared they gonna die,
Couple of 'em Amthinkin' they'll be livin' in the sky
While I'm here Clivin' man I gotta ask why,
What am I Ghere for I gotta figure out,
Waste my Emlife, no I gotta make it count,
If Christ is Amreal then what am I gonna do about,
EveryCthing in Luke 12:15 down to 21 ya really gotta go and check it out,
Paul Gsaid if Christ aint resurrected we wasted our lives,
Well that Emimplies that our lives drift around Jesus being alive,
Everyday I Amlive I try to show the world why,
Christ is Gmore than anything I'd ever try,
Better than Cpretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any woman
and men that you admGire
It aint no lie!
We created for Him,
EmOut of the dust he made us for Him,
AmElects us and he saved us for Him,
CJesus comes and he raised us for Him,
GMagnify the Father, why bother with something lesser?
He mEmade us so we could bless Him, (Bless Him)
Tell the Amworld we confess Him,
ResurreCcts Him,
So I know I got life,
GMatter fact better man I know I got Christ,
EmIf you don't see His ways in my days in my nights,
AmYou can hit my breaks you can stop my life,
CMan I lost my rights, lost my life,
GForget the money, cars and toss that ice,
The Emcost is Christ,
Am/Bm
And they can never offer me anything any better that would cost that price
:Chorus:
Don't wanna waste my Emlife, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my Amlife, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my Clife, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my,D
Don't wanna waste my,
(x2)
Don't wanna waste my lifeEm
:Verse 2:
Armed and dangerous
So the devil just can't Amhang with us
Christian youth they must Cstand with us
Livin' n driven, given a vision, fullfillin the commission he Ghanded us
London to Los Angeles
The rap evangelist
My daddy wouldn't Emabandon us
"I gotta back pack fulla tracts and I getta Johnny Mac"
So are you ready to jam with us, so lets Amgo
Gimme the word and lets go
Persecution lets Cgo
Tribulation lets go
Across the nation let's Ggo
Procrastination let's go
Hung on the cross in the Emcold
Died for the young and the Amold
Can't say you never know
Heaven knows
How many sCouls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in and get em
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Suffer, yeah, do it for Christ,
If you're Amtrying to figure out what to do with ya life,
If you make a Clot of money hope your doin' it right,
Because the money is GGod’s, you better steward it right,
You stay Emfocused, you ain't got no ride,
Your Amlife ain't wrapped up in what you drive,
The cClothes you wear, the job you work,
The Gcolor your skin, nah you're Christian first,
People get it living for a Emjob,
Make a little money start living for a Amcar,
Get em a wife, a house, kids and a Cdog,
Then they retire, they living high on the Ghog,
But guess wEmhat? They didn’t ever really live at all,
To live is AmChrist, and that’s Paul I recall,
To die is Cgain and for Christ we give it all,
He's the Gtreasure you'll never find in a mall,
See your Emmoney, your singleness, marriage, talents, your time,
They were Amloaned you to show the world that Christ is divine,
That's why its CChrist in my rhymes,
That's why its GChrist all the time,
See my whole wEmorld is built around Him,
He's the lAmife in my lines,
I refCuse to waste my life,
He's too tGrue to chase that ice,
Here's my Emgift and time,
'cause I'm constantly tryna ta be Amused to praise the Christ,
If He's tCruly raised to life,
Then this Gnews should change your life,
And by His grEmace you can put your faiAmth in the place that ruCles your days and nights, YES!
:Chorus:
Don't wanna waste my Emlife, life, life, (Gotta give you, one hundred Lord)
Don't wanna waste my Amlife, life, life, (Even with the, days gone Lord)
Don't wanna waste my Clife, life, life, (Gotta live for)
Don't wanna waste my, D(For something more)
Don't wanna waste my,(And that something is You)
(2x)
Don't wanna waste my Emlife (Don't wanna waste my life)
:Outro:
Em Am C D
