(Chorus)Good intentions pave the road,
The lighter your burden, the heavier the load.
Good intentions pave the road,
To understand my message you’ve got to know the code
Everybody wants to have a real good time tonight,
Nobody wants to fuss and fight,
Ya’ wanna leave the club feelin’ right
Good times rollin’ and you don’t want them to end
Hangin’ out wit cha friends
Spending them Benjamins
(Chorus)
My music’s gonna make ya loose your self control,
This is for the young and old,
Everybody jes free ya soul.
Sorry if I offend you with my arrogance,
I jes wanna make ya dance,
Later on maybe make romance.
I jes wanna live my life with no regrets,
I wanna pay all my debts,
I wanna win all my bets.
Movin’ in the right direction starts with your first step,
There’s nothin’ like a promise kept,
Make sure you don’t forget
(Chorus)
Life is no fun if there’s no fun in your life,
Makes it twice as nice,
Feelin’ good must be right.
What sense does it make for you to deny yourself?
Take the game off the shelf,
No fun to play with no one else
Fairytales from the pulpit pious preachers teach,
Leads us from the truth we seek,
Preying on a mind that’s weak.
It all comes down to doin’ what cha know is right,
The Tempter doesn’t want to fight,
Don’t lose your soul to save your life.
(Chorus)
Rap: Caught in these worldly ways,
Last days, my road is paved,
With things I meant ta do,
Nnow my soul got weight.
This fate I must escape,
It’s already made,
Sometimes it gets too hot,
Now I’m running for shade.
While these streets is watchin’
GOD is watching, My day will come,
When I’m standin’ at the gate trying to get into the Kingdom.
I party all night sometimes I miss church,
If I keep doin’ this will my soul be cursed?
Ain’t trying to pay the cost,
Trying to shake the devil off,
Live life for what its, and abide by the laws,
Even though is hard I feel like Beelzebub,
Is right on my back temptin’ me as a star,
Rap Life: pretty women, plenty cash, fast cars,
But I’ve come too far to be twisted and turned around,
Gonna keep my feet on solid ground.
