Verse 1

I got a partner name E back home in New Orleans East/ And another name G that mean so much to me/ We used to be click tight when I rap with P.H.E./ But since I came to Christ they two I very seldom see/ Along with my dog Todd, my lil cousin Donnie/ Keenan, Hump, and Jamel, man they all stood beside me/ My Big homey John, my lil homey Dreams/ Damien and Alshawn, my compadres indeed/ I often think about Lester, now Lester, that's my round/ Not a place in the world to find a portner that's more down/ Roy from up the block/ Carl, Pierre, and Josh/ My summer school pal, nah Cal, I ain't forgot/ I'm talking about Joe/ You know I love you bro/ We both know  where you been, but God forbid where you could go/ You studied in the word so this is something you should know/ You risking eternal like, something you can't afford to blow/ And

Hook:

 I love ya'll dudes, It'll hurt me a lot/ To see ya'll cast where the pain won't stop/ For real, I ask my self, what kind of friend would I be/ If I don't tell ya'll the best thing that's happen to me (2x's)

Verse 2

So I'm praying for Larae/ I'm praying for K.K./ I'm praying hard for Daniel, my dog from back in the day/ I'm praying for Tim, and Kim, and Darveltry my God brother/ I'm praying that they see their distinction from God better/ I often hear the saying that blood is thicker than water/ But tell me how that's so when we all got one father/ So yea I pray for Ken, but also my portner Ben/ I pray my cousin Anthony, and Daniel turn from sin/ I pray cause only if it's God's will they listen/ I pray cause I don't won' see them remain in Satan's prison/ Hear me Chevis and Randy cause these prayers are for you/ If you consider me a real friend, a friend gon' tell the truth/ Rob I know you out there, Al peep what I say/ Bryson you say you found him don't lose him and go a stray/ Ya'll names in my heart, I beseech you when I pray/ Cause whether you saved or not he gon' meet you judgment day/ And

Verse 3

I ask you am I your homey/ If I'm in danger do you care enough to warn me/ Look, well that's precisely what I'm thinking/ I'm showing you where your life line cause I could see you sinking/ It's bigger than just religion cause religion ain't gon' cut it/ Cause you sit in church on Sunday that don't mean that you love him/ Gotta prove he's your Lord and you'll place nothing above him/ With every action you take he want know you thinking of him/ I know you might be thinking that Christians live in a box/ It's never what you can do, it's always what you can not/ Truth in the matter is that love what makes us stop/ We don't want partake in nothing that could be your stumbling block/ Freedom is God's gift, we have more than what you think/ But abusing it is worthless, don't be fooled because we ain't/ Our mission to spread the gospel and exemplify the saint/ Cause Jesus is coming back although the world act like he ain't/ And
