Common (talking)
phone rang, screen said caller ID said blocked,
but for some reason i decided to answer it
on the other end was a french accent
he told me we needed to rap quick,
cause he had did some bad shit,
and would be gone for years, spending these last two days,
with his momma and his kids
when he spoke I wasn't trying to hear it ,cause
I knew he was a real good person,
and this didn't seem like it was in his spirit
he couldnt believe as much as i couldnt, what he done
he said now its time for him to turn himself in
no longer could he run, from life, from God
start thinkin, why is doing right is so hard
I got back to him when we was inLondon discussin the new testament
and how our lives related to it, and how we could make the best of it
my voice became destined, so I asked him why you gotta go
he said you know turn to Matthew 24
he said no one knows the hour, nor do they know the day,
but the kingdom is near, don't let anything lead you to stray
as long as God is with you, everything will be okay
so right about then,we decided to pray
