Maybe If - Gospel Gangstas

all my life i walked, stuck in the dark 
thinkin brothers that went to church had to be marks (??) 
no hearts, though i had it twisted like french braids 
it takes a man to serve God, this aint no kid's trade 
i got Saved and the devil wept 
i wear respect to street formances as pertainin to my ghetto rag (??) 
i was a shooter in my former life hoo-ride 
now can i make a G slide to the bright side 
mm, if anybody can do it then you can do it Tic 
well if i can do it then its done and im a do it quick 
(why) cuz im a doer, never seen a one truer 
than me, cuz this is O Double G now 
you see, i got a question, but really you need to ask yourself 
how do you refuse to come to Christ when He can give you help 
but yet you stay, you catchin case after case 
lookin left and right, up and down, when the answer's right in front yo face 


maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
whats crackin, step back and 
peep it like a G (like a G) 
maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
Satan tryin to twist em, dropped in the system 
let Christ set you free (set you free) 


attention, OGs open your ears up 
and all busters stop up your ears so you cant hear us 
cuz its only G talk, when we talk 
and by faith with deliverance how we walk 
until now ive been known to hit knees 
but one time can i break it down for the Gs 
i left a stain so you'll never forget my name 
i worship the Slain, now all gangstas aint the same 
see some bang, some slings cain, some shoot 
some fight, some pray and fast, some smoke root 
some claim Crypt, some hustler, and some buy root 
some serves Tweed, and some serves God like i do 
once was blind, but now i see, i know 
i did it to greed, now freeze the Gs and blow (??) 
life into the hood, mourn for those that died 
do's a genocide, still with one to five (??) 
look at chea

on the real though dog, i used to slang and bang 
but from homie to homie, dont even try to gang 
cuz one brotha be down, one brotha be suckas 
and the other half bustas 
im not down with killin brothas cuz its killin me 
and im not the one to contribute to your conspiracy 
lift your eyes, check a nize, and stop now (??) 
cuz satan wanna see the dead, are locked down (??) 
or if he keep us on crack, then he got us 
knowin if we toppin the purpose, he cant stop us (??) 
to pen is what i need, the truth and funk is what i get you with (??) 
the rhythm we givin, so they can learn from what we live thru 
blacks killin blacks, blacks sellin blacks crack 
now when we gone see some unity in our community ?? 
when the Gs hit they knees and get they pray on 
until then homie stay strong 
on the rist (??)

today, we done forgot about our makage as pleasure (??) 
but think bout gettin our rhine on, everybody gettin they grind on 
men hustlin women, and women hustle men 
men hustle for skins, and women hustle for they mens 
to the left, homie missed it with that set trip 
in 96, half the projects read about yo chips 
G wise, lets get our lives prioritised 
and then start to raisin our hands, and shapin our eyes 


maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
whats crackin, step back and 
peep it like a G (like a G) 
maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
a brighter day, a better way 
for you and me 
maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
whats crackin, step back and 
peep it like a G (like a G) 
maybe if, you would lift 
your eyes and see (maybe) 
a brighter day, a better way 
for you and me 


maybe if you'd lift your eyes and see, yeah 
maybe if youd peep it like a G (like a G) 
(O Double Gs, in the hizzouse, 9 6) 
lift your eyes and see
