Lyrics for Song: Don't Waste Your Life
Lyrics for Album: Rebel [2008]
Don't waste your life man!
I know a lot of people out there scared they gone die
Couple of 'em thinking they'll be livin' in the sky
But while I'm here livin' man, I gotta ask: why?
What am here fo? I gotta figure out.
Waste my life? No I gotta make it count.
If Christ is real, then what am I gon' do about?
Everything in Luke 12:15 down to 21,
You really gotta go and check it out!
Paul said if Christ ain't resurrect then we wasted our lives
Well that implies, that our life's built around Jesus being alive
Everyday I'm living tryin' show the world why,
Christ is more than everything you'll ever try
Better than pretty women and sinning and living
To get a minute of any women and men that you admire,
It ain't no lie, we created for Him,
Outta the dust he made us for Him
Elects us and he saves us for Him,
Jesus comes and raises for Him
Magnify the Father, why bother with something lesser?
He made us so we could bless Him,
And to the world we confess Him
Resurrects Him, so I know I got life,
Matter fact better man I know I got Christ
If you don't' see His ways in my days and nights
You can hit my brakes, you can stop my lights
Man I lost my rights, lost my life
Forget the money cars and toss that ice
The cost is Christ, and they could never offer me anything
On the planet that'll cost that price, yea!
Don't wanna waste my life
Armed and dangerous
So the devil jus' can't hang wid us
Christian youth them a stand wid us
Livin' n driven, given a vision,
Fullfillin' the commission He handed us
London to Los Angeles, da rap evangelist
Ma daddy wouldn't abandon us.
"I gotta back pack fulla tracts plus I keep a Johnny Mac"
So are you ready to jam with us?
So let's go, gimme the word an let's go
Persecution let's go, tribulation let's go
Across the nation let's go, procrastination bes' go
Hung on the cross in the cold
Died for da young and the old
Can't say you never know, heaven knows
How many souls are going to hell or to heaven,
So we gotta go in and get 'em
Whaaaaat!
Don't wanna waste my life
Suffer, yeah do it for Christ,
If you trying to figure what to do with your life
You making a lot of money, hope you doing it right
Because the money is God's you better steward it right
Stay focused if you ain't got no ride
Your life ain't wrapped up in what you drive
The clothes you wear, the job you work
The color your skin, naw we Christian first
People living life for a job
Make a lil money start living for a car
Get em a house a wife kids and a dog
When they retire, they living high on the hog
But guess what they didn't ever really live at all
To live is Christ, and that's Paul I recall
To die is gain, so for Christ we give it all
He's the treasure you'll find in the mall
See your money your singleness. marriage, talent and time
They were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine
That's why it's Christ in my rhymes
That's why it's Christ all the time
See my whole world is built around him, He's the life in my lines
I refused to waste my life he's too true ta chase that ice
Heres my gifts and time,
'Cause I'm constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ
If he's truly raised to life, then this news should change your life
And by his grace you can put your faith,
In place that rules your days and nights
Don't wanna waste my life
