I was headed for tha grave
Born with a death wish
Had air in my lungs
But I seemed so breathless
Had no life in me
Until I met this
God who converted me
Like standard to metrics
Now I got a faith
Some consider it reckless
Cuz tha cross is more than tats (Tatoos)
Or bling on a necklace
When I think about that cross
I can't forget his
Sacrifice, and now
I wanna live regretless
It' hard to say you got it
If you don't get this
He ain't interested in resumes
Or do-good checklists
They say I'm old school
Like Pong & Tetris
Cuz I cling to that cross
I gotta be a witness
It holds more importance
Than a full course breakfast
To some it's just foolish
And all just senseless
But wait until tha Lord
Breaks your defenses
& ya see tha blood he shed
for your offenses
hook)
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
I can't help it- ya know I gotta tell it
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
What I seen & what I heard - ya know I gotta tell it
---repeat twice---
(end hook)
People always askin me
Why I'm gettin' hyped up
See me so excited, man
& wonder why I'm psyched up
He was bruised & beaten
Like He was in a Fight club
Only difference was
He neva put a fight up
He coulda took 'em out
But He just held tha light up
Did it cuz He Love Ya, Man
He does more than like ya
Couldn’t recognize him
His body was all sliced up
They nailed Him to tha cross
And then they raised tha Christ up
They mocked Him and they Laughed
But He just raised His Eyes up
Said Father Please forgive 'em
They don't know this ain't tha right stuff
Said that it is finished and
Then He gave His life up
Tha Father turned his face
Cuz He couldn't stand tha sight of
Tha sin His Son became
So he could pay tha price of
Tha sin that we committed
Now let that sink inside ya
Whether I'm just chillin out
Or on tha stage mic'ed up
I hope to point ya to His cross
As I'm pickin mine up
(hook)
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
I can't help it- ya know I gotta tell it
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
What I seen & what I heard - ya know I gotta tell it
---repeat twice---
(end hook)
Ain't nuthin in tha world
Like seein' God move
& doin things that you ain't
even know He gonna do
like me & my boy
we was really cool
then his wifey come & tell my wife
that she bein' abused
I went to his crib
In love I spit tha Truth
I Thought it didn't work
But that next thing I knew
He packed up his stuff
He just up & moved
Got help now He's reconciled
& everything's smooth
This girl at work & I
We were talkin' bout tha news
About a new law
On a Woman's right to choose
I gave tha Bible's views
Wife's testimony too
Tha next day she told me
What she was bout to do
Was thinking bout abortion
But now that thought is thru
He's tha joy of her life now
& I think He's about two
What I've Seen, What I Heard
I know that it's true
I can't help but talk about it man
how 'bout you?
(hook)
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
I can't help it- ya know I gotta tell it
I can't help, I can't-can't help it
What I seen & what I heard - ya know I gotta tell it
