Lokd in (feat. Eshon Burgundy, Joe E. Blessed & Wes Hodge) - Stedfastt

Empty souls are screaming, Hollow hearts are burning In the streets they're fiending, For higher learning I'm ready to go higher, I'm ready to go higher Let's go higher and higher Tripping now, tripping now. Everybody out here tripping now Tripping now, tripping now Young girls out here stripping now Young boys out here hitting now On the playground find a clip on the ground Chilling till we came up out the building And we heard somebody yelling They was telling everybody lay down Lay down, lay down, situation hot like Cape Town Hey now, hey now, do I trust God or the K now? Cause when you laying face down And you hear the sound of an AK spray letting off a round I'm on second thought, on second thought Till the Holy Spirit check my heart And I receive that G-check Out of respect for God that fear I eat that With a deep breath Bold faith on the side If I die, no regret I've confessed who laid down in my place When I pray I get feedback, believe that I know I'm surrounded by grace And if ever you need that Seek that And believe that by faith And instead of where the weed at You'll see that We all need to be asking for graves I'm talking bout the part of me that make it hard for me To live accordingly with that hope Fight with the all of me But unfortunately it keep calling me on that note Against that it's hard to revolt Fighting and I'm writing down all of these quotes Hope to inspire all of these folks So the Lord would acquire all of these souls Back to the situation at hand though Block lit up like a dance floor In the middle of blazing ammo Spark so bright like he shooting with a candle! Oh! Empty souls are screaming, Hollow hearts are burning In the streets they're fiending, For higher learning I'm ready to go higher, I'm ready to go higher Let's go higher and higher Ain't nothing about me good, save that for my O.G My O.G. Jesus Christ and His O.G. is G. O. D One day you made it rain, huh? On a shorty? But He made it rain 40 days, like a bottle of Old E What this world done came to, I look around and it's painful I even look at my own heart, size it up and it's shameful Only heat can come from a cold heart Catch no breaks like a go-cart That's how you end up in the O.R And leave the O.R. with a O-Scar O-Scar? That's a bullet hole I know I could've told you that before But it wouldn't make for a good metaphor If I had told before I said it, bul Dead it, bul, man I gotta dead it, bul Grab my pride and my ego by the throat And engage the weapon, bul Bang!!! Can't imagine what it's like to see The Lord hang Crown of thorns and His blood all on the lawn But to die is the only reason that He came That's why I spend time with Him in the early morn I need Him. I need Him First from the hood that'll tell you I need Him I look around and see them getting found or locked down What I look like trying to turn down freedom Huh? Empty souls are screaming, Hollow hearts are burning In the streets they're fiending, For higher learning I'm ready to go higher, I'm ready to go higher Let's go higher and higher

Freedom from the shackles, from the storm Keep up with the battles, He restores Demons standin' baffled at the throne 'Cause Jesus picks the pieces He's the reason for the fetus Being healthy in this season Read Ephesians He will lead us He's redeemed us Another broken soul restored to faith Inconsolable's find peace in grace Grace so bountiful, sin leaves no trace So give me a chance to elaborate The way these tears would evaporate The King of kings offers His grace Now I live to serve like a plate All my sins have been washed away

Lookin' up to the moon Feelin' like a wolf but I'm not a villain, not a goon Just feelin' weak Flesh got me slippin' and I'm trippin' Haven't read the Script's in about a week What am I doin'? Christ said follow me, yet it's been me myself and I Since I let depression kick in Sin knocked on my door and I let her in She said take a puff. Feel down? Sit back! Sip on this gin. Not a fan?

Yo, Stedfastt on the mic I know everybody would like to be perfect But the truth is, in this life we can only strive to be Christ is the only one who came And lived a sinless life on our behalf So that by faith we could be declared righteous In Him I can hear them makin' noise from a mile away, they ride away To evangelize, equipped wit' the Holy Script's Around the way they found the spot They finally got a parking space About a block away from the destination Christ is Lord they say As they preach to nations what they claim to be the way I hear a gospel message but its not amazin' They proclaimin' works based salvation Not a Christian if you sin A 1 John 3:9 misinterpretation John is speakin' of unrepentant sin In Christ rebellion's not our occupation Like before regeneration Before the Holy Spirit came and gave us life Eyes to see, ears to hear, faith equals justification In Chapter 1 verse 8 John includes himself as one who has sin, no debate We deceive ourselves if we deny this trait We're born again yet Still we wrestle wit' a sinful nature Paul in Romans 7 correlates "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" I hate sin man, I'm not a heathen (Uh) I fall short but I strive to keep His law I love Christ yet I fell this weekend (Ahh!) I thank God for His grace in weakness I hate sin man, I'm not a heathen (Uh) I fall short but I strive to keep His law I love Christ yet I fell this weekend (Ahh!) I thank God for His grace in weakness To the saints I write Glory to the Christ who set us free From the penalty of all of our many sins When we first believed Where as we were once aliens to the covenant Enemies, yet in Him we found life and peace We received adoption as sons We are one with the Father AKA Elohim For the Lamb without blemish was slaughtered to redeem us He was marred, crucified on Golgotha While we were yet heathens Before the rebirth, we were rebels by nature Sinkin' in sand, children of wrath In dire need of the Son of Man Full of blasphemies, and nasty habits Experts at masking our filth like spiritual cavities Such insanity In Adam we all die What a tragedy But in Christ we rise to new life Praise His majesty Israelites and Gentiles alike, united by faith Made into one new man New creation Called to love and obey Him "No one born of God makes a practice of sinning For God's seed abides in him And he cannot keep on sinning Because he has been born of God" (John 3:9,10) I hate sin man, I'm not a heathen (Uh) I fall short but I strive to keep His law I love Christ yet I fell this weekend (Ahh!) I thank God for His grace in weakness I hate sin man, I'm not a heathen (Uh) I fall short but I strive to keep His law I love Christ yet I fell this weekend (Ahh!) I thank God for His grace in weakness My little children I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin But if anyone does sin We have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous He is the propitiation for our sins And not for ours only But also for the sins of the whole world (John 2:1,2)

Behold the Messiah, who's risen, ascended To the right hand of God, no higher position He came on a mission, by His own volition Took on the form of a man, listen Ladies and gents, to you I present The greatest story ever told Ladies and gents, to you I present The greatest story ever told Let me tell you bout the one that I trust in High King of heaven, pens won't do Him justice First of all, the subject is paramount Of utmost importance, I give an accurate account The LORD sent prophets to announce His coming Last one before He came ate locust and honey His name John the Baptist, his message stunning Calling men to repent like Noah, pre flooding Filled with the Spirit, preparing hearts for the King of Kings The Nazarene not yet on the seen A Savior was promised and Israel awaited When John saw Him comin', he said in amazement Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John came baptizing that He might be revealed Son of Man, Son of God, that's two of His titles The Christ had arrived, John was not there to rival Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi He was asking His disciples Who do people say that the Son of Man is? Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah And others Jeremiah or one of the prophets But who do you say that I am? You are the Christ, the Son of the living God Behold the Lamb of God astounding folks with His miracles Jesus of Nazareth, supernatural, surreal Fulfillment of prophecy, majestic, imperial Mass crowds flock, surrounding Israel's pinnacle The promised Messiah taught and pittied them Yahweh Shalom, the peace of Gideon Down from His throne, for our sake humiliated God's only Son, mission initiated Planned redemption, through perfect obedience Death on a cross beam, a cursed medium He was bruised for our transgressions Persistent rebellion His death foretold, protoevangelium Buried in a tomb, He was dead but He rose again God's power on display, death couldn't hold Him in The Christ gave His life as a ransom for many men That we might be saved from sins penalty in the end Whoo! That's all she wrote! Behold the Messiah, who's risen, ascended To the right hand of God, no higher position He came on a mission, by His own volition Took on the form of a man, listen Ladies and gents, to you I present The greatest story ever told Ladies and gents, to you I present The greatest story ever told So what does it mean to believe that Jesus is the Messiah The Son of God? It's not just: I love His teachings and I follow Him It is this: I have nothing. I have no righteousness, I have no hope Except what God did for me on Calvary And in the resurrection of Christ from the dead That is my hope
