Brothatone - Reachin Out lyrics
rate me
I’m writing down a vision and I’m making it plain,
Givin them Jesus in the street, make no mistake in the name.
The target is today’s youth, so I’m taking an aim
Shootin to get ‘em saved, we wanna see ‘em making a change
Bringing life to ya spot, yeah man you hear right
Screamin’ you can live and you ain’t got to smoke or splurge dice
Cause when you living in the hood is like a baseball game,
You might see a homes run trynna duck his third strike
So we back ‘em in a bush take a minute teach ‘em scripture
Put ‘em in a gym and tryn’ keep ‘em out the system
Show ‘em he ain’t gotta have grills to be real man
Forget a chrome wheel, we gone reach ‘em with a pencil
The world feed ‘em lies, I’m deliverin’ facts
They done forgot about the hood, so the prison is packed,
They gone to Africa to preach Christ
While the dope man ride through my neighborhood givin’ little one a sack
And so I’m reaching out, we wanna get ‘em at the source,
In they heart, so we reaching it’s in Jesus and not sports
Man I’m reaching out, No more just standing on the porch
Come and meet me on the court, bring your Bible and ya shorts
Dawg, I’m reaching out, and it ain’t all about the game,
But it’s all about the youth, Spreadn’ truth to make a change
A I’m reaching out, We wanna see you do the same,
So we writing down a vision in they heart until it’s plain.
(They done forgot about my hood mane)
I’m tired of seeing dudes from my hood loose they innocence
Fourteen years old smokin’ weed and puffin’ cigarettes
It hurts to know the he don’t know the Holy God of Genesis
Rejecting Christ the Savior, missin’ out on all the benefits
I know little dudes, that lost they life before they finish it,
Victimized by the streets ‘cause nobody witnessing
Churches having church and getting’ crunck cause we claim Christ
The scheme failing to tell ‘em Jesus want ‘em to change
So in the hood little homie getting drunk in the slang
Or in the back of alley ways getting jumped in a gang
Plus HBO and Bet is being pumped in his brain
He dreaming 20 inches round with a trunk full of cain
So I vow to reach out with the gospel till he’s saved
Get him in a pulpit life before he on the front page
I’ll be your role model, hate to see you get sprayed
I’d trynna bring flowers to your wedding rather than your grave
So I’m reaching out, we wanna get ‘em at the source,
In they heart, so we reaching it’s in Jesus and not sports
Man I’m reaching out, No more just standing on the porch
Come and meet me on the court, bring your Bible and ya shorts
Dawg, I’m reaching out, and it ain’t all about the game,
But it’s all about the youth, Spreadn’ truth to make a change
A I’m reaching out, We wanna see you do the same,
So we writing down a vision in they heart until it’s plain.
(They done forgot about my hood mane)
In the hood everybody yap but they ain’t spittin’ truth
And some bondage got they mind trapped and they ain’t getting’ loosed
On the block ain’t no dubs just bottles of grey goose
Plus the ballers got on jerseys but they ain’t shootin’ hoops
And the court that they see is like the home of the bob cats
Attracting cats Like Shawn May stickin’ them with orange suits
I pray and hope they might see, the truth to do the right thang
And read the bible like the movie scripts from Spike Lee
I’m praying that the love of God will turn ‘em in his Nikes
Keep the weed from his lips and whiskey out his icetea
I visualize a longer life with murder rapes and lifey
I see a future with a couple children and a wifey
Christ is uncondemning man, He comes to give him hope
And if nobody give him love, then someone will give him dope,
Or the cops will give him handcuffs, the judge will give him life
Or we’ll look inside a casket and wish we gave ‘em Christ
So I’m reaching out, we wanna get ‘em at the source,
In they heart, so we reaching it’s in Jesus and not sports
Man I’m reaching out, No more just standing on the porch
Come and meet me on the court, bring your Bible and ya shorts
Dawg, I’m reaching out, and it ain’t all about the game,
But it’s all about the youth, Spreadn’ truth to make a change
A I’m reaching out, We wanna see you do the same,
So we writing down a vision in they heart until it’s plain.
(They done forgot about my hood mane)
