Man, I wish somebody woulda told me the truth a long time ago Nobody sat me down and said look, this ain't that and that ain't this I was deceived for so long It's only right that I expose all this deception In the mighty name of Jesus Carry on young soldier Listen Who told you gangstas go to Heaven? Huh Who told you money make you real? Tell me Who told you pistols make you tough? Ayy, you don't see all the dead bodies on the field? Man Who said that mercy's for the weak? Who said forgiveness is for chumps? They say a coward dies a thousand deaths A soldier dies but once, and they mourn you For a week and they forget you in a month Who told you God doesn't exist? Who told you God was just a myth? Who planted seeds of disbelief Inside your mind so you could trip? Who told you Jesus doesn't love you? Who said you couldn't be forgiven? Do you not know how much he loves you? Listen Do you not know the King is risen?
