They say there’s no hope
for the crack phien or the street ho
homeless man sitting on the corner
college kid scoring marijuana
Preacher man standing in the pulpit
Looking down at the pews where the church sit
They singing to the God of the seats.
When we really need a God of the streets.

v1
I saw Jesus just the other day.
Picking up a paycheck. Heading to the bank.
Dark suit on. Starch on his shirt.
Put some quarters in meter . Started walking to the church.
Threw a dollar at beard, a frown at broad, and cussed at meth head.
Then went to the church, said a prayer with the people and watched God’s Not Dead.
I feel like Tupac and Elvis are more alive than he is.
When kids know lyrics better than what Christ said.
Except gay who only will see Christ’s middle finger
pointed at them. Don’t see Christ’s blood but they see red.
Church Daddy got four Bibles, but he barely use one.
Daddy on the street? Four kids never see ‘em.
We got epidemic and the doctors got the cure
But we locked up in the hospitals tryna stay pure.

V2
Saw Jesus just the other day.
Begging for some bread in front of the bank.
Trench coat on. Pants a little torn.
Eyes searching for someone to help him stay warm
But they don’t wanna look in his eyes
if they see he’s dying they might feel a little guilty
If they walk on the other side, they can keep a little pride
by not dealing with the filthy
And people cuss Christ cause of Christians.
And Christians cuss Christ cause of people.
Mad cause Judas kissed Christ on the cheek
But we kiss him every day when ignore Him on the Street.
And there some perfect pew sitters hell-bound.
Some Saints sitting on the front step.
God doesn’t live in your church
See Him in the least of the ones that tend to forget.


V3
And homie know Mary J better than Mary mother of Jesus.
We got Mary K confused with the Magdalene that needs us.
There is no merry way or merry Christmas for street sleepers.
Give us hearts like you, God, then we can be Believers.
Help me not to preach to those I won’t pray for.
Truth without love a team You don’t for.
I might not have the funds to help pay for.
But you can make a feast outta some toast and some fishes.
And we can teach John 3:16
And we speak words in the three sixteens.
But if you don’t see the hurt on 16th street.
You don’t really know what that verse really means.
I see a bunch of people need Jesus.
Real Jesus taking off the suit and tie.
Real Jesus putting on a thorn crown.
Real Jesus died for the street life.
