Rebuild The City
Lyrics by : Sho Baraka
Verse 1
Missionaries came through and preached revival /
They took the land and left our hands with the bibles/
No direction no vision no disciples/
Years later the church has become an idol/
It became a culture and it's no longer a faith/
We seek comfortable living and no longer his face/
See churches on the corner but the corners don't change/
Members enter in the building but they come out the same/
Our house looking plush GOD's house looking desolate /
The churches aint serving they to busy protecting it/
We live in the city will we try to invest in it/
Rapper dealing death while everybody just blessing it/
The hood has little hope its like we accepted defeat/
We're from broken homes that's why we stand in the street/
I could complain all day but it won't get fixed/
Since I understand that my prayer has been this/
Hook
GOD give your servant success today by granting him some of your favor/
I need to, You need to , We need to Rebuild the City
(2x)
Verse 2
My man moved to the project invested in a project to offer the promise/
To offer needs to the jobless hope to the homeless escape from the bondage/
He said send me he prayed that for some weeks now he prays with his feet/
He sees the death in their eyes in outward the lie but in the inward they cry (rebuild the city)/
We use to fight for our schools now we fight to be cool like its tight to be fools/
Youngin 13 years old , ready to sell his soul, for a mouth of gold/
He like he wants to climb to the top he wants to sign with the rock, I got a sign from the Rock/ This is passed down from the top repent from your slop, before your breathing just stops/
Verse 3
As the pages turn I had a great concern I had to come to serve/
But then I realized I have the Spirit in me, some faithful men with, the word will equip me to (rebuild the city)/
I got a passion to preach, a passion to reach I got to Sheppard the sheep/
This is not just a speech we will rebuild the souls man along with the streets/
Cam Verse
Ride with me there is work to be done/
We workin the word that works when we working this one/
Start it off with me, to rebuild I need your truth and your grace before I'm hitting the field/So I can Rebuild the city./that's what you called me to do/to convince them to follow me as I'm following you/ to make the streets a little safer by teaching to love your neighbor/ most of all offering life by giving Jesus the savior.
so appropriate for where we are in our life...
