Young brother, I’m here to tell you, God is as real as it gets. My God, our God, is everywhere. He really exists. He’s the reason why I made it through the block when the cops raided. They didn’t even ask me to get on the ground. I had money but it was never questioned how I made it.

Another instance, the officer’s hands in my pocket, they don’t feel the work. It ain’t make no sense. Everybody else was getting hurt. Everybody else was getting merc’d. Everybody else was getting locked or shot. Me, I just went around everyday doing what I wanted to do, not thinking ‘bout a lot.

It’s crazy. I been thru a lot of things, and I pray everyday, and God is keeping me clean. Angels be on my shoulders cause, I don’t know how I do it. Then its like sometimes at night, I can hear this peaceful music. I’m never lonely, even when I’m walking by myself. I know Jesus is with me, and he’s good for your health.

Yall need to pray man, its real. I been here in the streets for a long time. I don’t have a record and I aint gonna snitch on myself, but I know about crime. Listen to what I’m telling you man. If you here, you here for a reason. For you, God got a plan.

You need to go to church and listen. Its gonna hurt. You gonna fight, but at the end of the day, everything is gonna be right. You gonna be on a new track to a new life, a new happiness, a new wife, and it ain’t never gonna matter about a price.

Just trust what I’m saying. I been in the streets for real. I been There, and he keep me Here. And young brother, it’s way better than a record deal. When you get saved, it’s like, man, you get paid. It’s like you covered head to toe. You can never get slayed. It’s so nice to be a Christian. Go to church, just visit. Take a friend, you ain’t gotta get dressed up. Just listen.

You’ll be rewarded with what you desire the most. All you gotta do is believe, and tell your life story to some other folks. Tell ‘em how Jesus showed you how to stand tall. Walk proud and smile because you don’t have any worries at all. That’s what I do.

I aint scared to let the world know that I love a man more than I love myself. I love a man, and because of his love, I have wealth. Because of this man, I have someone that permanently got my back. I can go after anything, and not think once about turning back. And I want you to as well, my brother.
