James Phlamz - Lesson Learned

To the OGs like flame and ambasz's
And the OG's like to 116 cast
To the OG Truth - would it do?
I remember back in the days I used to wanna be you

It wasn't easy growing up in the hood...
When you know right from wrong
But it don't feel good
Last to lose my virginity
At least it seemed
They wasn't feeling when I said
Imma wait for my queen
But one thing that helped
Is that I had a team
I ain't see em everyday
So I ain't making a scene
They live 30 minutes away in Detroit
So whats the point
Everybody in the Yak
Thought I was puffing on joints  
But I'm in my right mind
You'll see it in due time
And this righteous path
Not a humble grind

I had a crush that got pregnant
Guess I move to slow
Then her crush got locked up
That's how the story goes

Back to thr struggle of living
In this world but not of it
Learned lessons from cross movement
That I shared out in public
When Christology came out
It was in my Senior year
Between that an Moment of Truth
I had no fears

Then Jesus Muzik dropped
My last year of college
That song changed my life
I'm like - forget this knowledge
But I had just met my wife
And everything was all good
And some people I grew up with
They left the hood
So I thought - I should too
Maybe move out of state
Went to VA
And that's were things went astray

I was following God
But I forgot the whole mission
Use the gifts that you have
To bring in more Christians
Like God...
The beach was much better than snow
Around the time Lecrae
Said he don't make Gospel no more
I'm like man ...

That's 3 Steps back
So much progress down the drain
Just to sit on they rack
Let me get back
But can you tell - I'm still a lil sore
Let it be known
Phlamz never denied the Lord
Then it was indiscretion
After indiscretion
Turned into life lesson
After life lesson

All my OGs were falling
That's when I heard God say
The only man you should put faith in
Is my SON anyway

I prayed for my OGs
And I still pray
I met Ambassador in Detroit
It was a rainy day
And I was like man...
Full circle - look what God can no
If he can save all of us
you know he can save you
And I was like man...
Full circle - look what God can no
If he can save all of us
You know he can save you
