You try and try to be a real fly guy/but the money girls and guns just doesn't
satisfy/you enjoy your sin again and again/but you lose your life in the end my
friend/you gain the whole world and lose your soul/Is that what you wanted?/Was
that your goal?/you say well I'm having a ball and I'm oh so happy/but you don't
know your true pappy/if you want real life then you've got to choose it/if you
want true life then you've got to lose it/lose my life in order to find it?/It
doesn't make any sense but you got to mind it/Ashes to ashes/dust to dust/all
your pretty stuff is gonna turn to rust/I try to put it to you very gently/you
ever seen a hearse pullin a bentley?/No no uh uh you failed the class quiz/I'll
demolish your rhymes then demolish his/yes yes ya'll and you don't stop/I keep
rising to the top/from the blood of Scott La Rock to the blood of
Tupac/everybody needs to put down the glock
HOOK: It's the gospel/mission possible/do well people go to a hospital?/no they don't cuz Christ came for sinners/he came for the losers/not the winners
When it starts to flood
in/you know its the blood then/lifted my soul right out of the mud and/abide in
the vine the finest wine is mine/I drank one drop now it won't stop pouring/my
life is filled to the brim/all because of Him/he went out on the limb/he went
out on a stem/Jehovah Jirah/the LORD provider/Jehovah Rapha/the king my
papa/here we go kickin the truth once more its the hardcore one you'be been
waiting for/N.T.P. the man with the poetry/when you hear a dope rhyme you
know it's me/I'm spreading the truth like the apostles/bringing life to all
these old fossils/can these bones live?/Oh yes they can/one touch from Jesus Son
of God Son of Man/your eyes are wide open but you just don't get it/somehow
someway you've got to admit it/your blind! You can't see/you need to wear some
glasses like N.T.P.
Hook
It's mission possible/we cannot lose/Jesus is
the star/and not Tom Cruise/He laid down his life and took it up again/we
started out as foes and now were friends/free in deed indeed I'm free/saved by
grace don't mess with me Gee/Satan's on the run/he's fleeing the scene/I got
rhymes to knock um out/you know what I mean/when Satan comes at me with the
flaming arrow/I drown him in the Red Sea like the Pharoah/Jesus paid a debt that wasn't his, cuz we owed a debt that was serious biz/there was no way we could ever pay it/so Jesus came in to slay it.

Heart Transplant
Heart transplant
Its time for us to swim against the flow/even though it don't seem like the way to go/all this stuff just makes you blue/never let your possessions start to possess you/do ya know about the man called the rich young ruler/he wanted to be good, he wanted to be cooler/all this stuff and he just couldn't let it go/then he walked away sad with his stuff in tow/ the lord said follow me and he didn't listen/he was just fakin/he was just dissin/ he said Im your biggest decision/open up your heart let me make an incision/I had shackles on my hands and stocks on my feet/i was born again but still living in defeat/woe is me Im an unclean man/I need a touch from the masters hand/put coal to my mouth and burn this flesh/cuz i need to be rescued from this body of death/its cold and its dark and it ain't so cool/I'm in a dirty pool and I'm such a fool/give me the living water to quench my thirst/I wanna put God first instead of living a curse/I follow Jesus but I'm still not free/I got the name Christian but it ain't reality
HOOK: I try and I try but I just can't. I really need a heart transplant/I really need a heart transplant.
I stood at the altar of foreign gods/I said Lord I love you but we are at odds/I walked in the darkness and called it the light/I called him my friend but somethin' just isn't right/when you live by the flesh you will die/when you say I'm ok you are just telling a lie/His word won't shine in your heart/because God don't want no part/He told me what I really lack/He said My son you are on the verge of a heart attack/it is for freedom that I set you free/and this grace is available to all who believe/You are chained to the thing called sin/when I knock on your door you won't let me in/you have eyes but you still can't see/you live in America but you are still in captivity/slave to sin, slave to satan/thats why you keep hatin'/thats why you keep debatin'/I'm not the one/Satan is the culprit/fall at my feet as I preach from the pulpit/you should never go by her house/she will tell you she has no spouse/don't let her get you with her hook/i tell ya right now that girl's a crook/her house is a stairway to the grave/run like forest gump/don't try to be brave
HOOK: I train and I train but I just can't. I really need a heart transplant/I really need a heart transplant
I try to be patient and wait/but then I end up doing what I hate/I try to find the escape hatch/but then I struggle to find the latch/I train to get it right some of me/but then satan dangles turkish delight right in front of me/I wade through the storm of hip hop/I never want to be at the top of the pop/I just want to reel in a big fish/heroically rescue the sons of kish/I don't need a hot girl in a little bikini/I'm a secret agent without the martini/I sold mustangs and I sold camaros/I sold little trinkets and I sold sparrows/but then Jesus came in and turned over the table/now I'm rockin' the casbah and don't need no label/My managers name is yahwah/I only speak the words that he would say/I read the Bible because im a rebel/God keeps me going straight and on ground level/its going to be a battle to the death/its going to be tragic like Macbeth/I got the goal in my sights now/not just eternal life/but new life right now.

Lovebugs
Hard times are spreading just like the flu/I was at the end of my rope didn't
know what to do/I cried out to God and heard nothing/why you playing hard to get
are you bluffing?/I feel lost, scared, messed up, broken/when you gonna come and
let the door be open/I follow you the best I can/how long must I wait this man
can't stand it/but I trust in you I sing to you/all my hard heartedness I bring
to you/to who else can I turn to in strife?/Only you hold the words of eternal
life.
HOOK: God loves the one he bugs, God bugs the one he loves.
Where's God's address/at the end of your rope/still people claiming he aint real/and he ain't dope/but I know different/he's the God of second chances/He pursues us and he's the one who romances/some people don't believe in creation/they think we made this nation/you call me a fool but that's alright/the Bible calls me that every night/this foolishness will shame the wise/this craziness will break the ties/I'll be with him in Heaven/rest with Him on day seven.
Hook
God loves ya/that's why he's buggin ya/he's not hatin' ya/he's lovin' ya/keep your eyes on the prize and never look away/remember what happened to Lot's wife that day/with the precious blood you have been bought/with the Word of God you have been taught/keep moving forward and don't look back/keep playing offense and press the attack/sin is fun I have to admit it/but for 33 years Jesus never did it/a mushroom grows in a day but not a tree/I once was blind but now I see/Jesus gave me a wake up call/now I am walking tall/it doesn't mean I'll never fall/but it means he's my all in all.
