Once Was Blind Lyrics

I'm living life on the run, will I end up in jail or die by a gun
Can't hide when they come y'all know where I'm from, I ride with the son
My outlook on this word is from a G'z perspective
Find those in a life of sin, get 'em born again is my objective

Bringing pain like method but I'm west coast Cali tried and tested
Recorded and pressed it the force is aggressive
Everyday people die I address it with my street education
And my organization get the sword in my waist and

Could You come to my rescue?
Lord 'cause I'm facing a citation
And it's kind of hard to get the picture
'Cause my frame is shattered

My dog took two to the back of the dome
Left in back of a Brougham with his brain splattered
Why do the good die young, I heard a voice say
"Go back to the hood, my son, I'ma wipe they tears away"

So I took the under route back
Grab my word then swear can't leave without that
It's the Father's business gotta be about
That committee got my back

And yo can't doubt that I'm about that
Trying to make some scrill gotta pay those bills
I'm out to make a mill if you gonna do His will
You gotta stay real

I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see

Hustlin' everyday and night trying to pay the rent
My momma smoked up here on dope so the money's spent
Corrupted by this ghetto living drive by's and killing
The preacha's paid and I'm broke so I can't feel him

I know the Lord is watching me but He gave us free will
I feel that's what's stopping me 'cause I'm in Love with my skrill
My mind is on deep meditation about me and God's separation
I don't do His will going to Hell is my calculation

That's a sticky situation knowing what I'm facing
Sin had me pacing repented with no hesitation
He brought me from a life of sin, sin, drinking gin, gin
But now I'm saved so I know I could make it in

I try to tell my friends that's going out backwards
They either dead or in the pen or somewhere scattered
So I hope and pray God bless all the G'z
And open up they eyes, Loc, just like he did me

I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see

I opened my eyes and I visualize my current state
No God, no faith and a dirty slate, sipping 8 with a life full of hate
Never see the pearly gates unless I make decisions in a hurry
In a worldly state, my minds reprobate
My visions blurry make amends in a hurry

Deep in the race keeping the pace and keeping the faith
My buddy T-Dub wasn't evil as the people he faced
They found him dead up in the streets with the heart in his waist
Lord, give me the grace to do Your will, if that's my destination

Called to win the lost, my guesstimation
Bobb, Your head as I bless the nation

I saw the light shine on me
I wanna thank You, Lord, for saving me
I saw the light shine on me
I wanna thank You, Lord, for saving me

I saw the light shine on me
I wanna thank You, Lord, for saving me
I saw the light shine on me
I wanna thank You, Lord, for saving me

I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see

I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see

I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
I saw the light, He shines on me
I once was blind but now I see
