Izziachi - Peace

Drink has drained more blood, Hung more crapes
Destroyed more homes, dethroned more reason
Wrecked more manhood
Dishonored more womanhood
Broken more hearts, driven more to suicide
And dug more graves than any Other poisonous source that ever Swept it's death Dealing Waves Across the world
The world, the world
Yea, yea
Izziachi
Listen
My generation drownin' their problems in beer and liquor
Only wantin' to settle for the solution that's quicker
Saddest part is that they don't know that they only gettin' sicker
I'm bitter
Followin' the ways of their ancestor, The Apple Picker
Now imagine every day someone steals your car
That person doin' you wrong, you even know who they are
Yea they do this every day, you watch 'em rollin' away
And you just sit there thinkin' about the selective words that you'd say
But okay
Imagine that this goes on til' the day they die
And they come up to your gates only wonderin' why
You never ONCE threw judgement that is clearly justified
And you open up your arms with only love in your eyes
Well, that's the way the Father looks at us when sin rules our lives
See he looks down and he cries
Angels above in the skies
So much love or every one of us
He sent his only Son and thus, and then without a single fuss, he bore the bare upon the Cross
Check it, WHEW, yea
He bit on the bullet and hit from the pulpit
Win it, Death, you couldn't
Three days then you wouldn't
He raised to the fullest, that stone, you can pull it
He stays up in glory, All sin, Void and NULL IT
If life is a tunnel, then there's many things that hazard us
Then I'll be walkin' out the other side like I was Lazarus
Music is my canvas and when I'm done paintin'
You'll see a vision of my past and my fallin' to Satan
I used to be a bondage slave to sin
But now, you know I'm a homage slave to Him
If my body is the temple then my heart is the Holy Room and yea my mind's the crooked Crow that's perched on top with a truer view
The irony is they call it Wine and Spirit
But the truth is nowhere near it and you may not want to hear it
But you ain't gotta fear it, steer it, switch it into gear it and yea that demon holdin' you Back
I serve a God who can spear it spirit
Yea
Uh
THIS is what counts
One more drink will make it okay and ease the pain
But the pain multiplies when you wake up and you don't know his name
Y'all just crack another bottle tryn'a mask the despair
But then it's harder to scope out Lucy with all these masks that he wears
Slim pickin's as they search for hope in vodka and wine
I'm pluckin' grapes of grace from the one who's Devine, da-vine
Bubbling spring within us, givin' us life
And while we on the topic, honey we have gotta stop it
What the world needs is healin', all this killin' and stealin'
I understand how you feelin', These gangster jokers comin' for you so the bullets you be Dealin'
This ain't the hook, but brother real in the truth at the center of these lies I be pealin'
Yea, this message comes from above
I don't mean like a dove
I mean instead of you keepin', a gat in the glove
What you really need is love
'Cuz when the push comes to shove and you follow that dove
Up to the sky
And you really see the light
No more darkness no more night
Far away you will fly
Up to the one who's divine
And you can't believe your eyes Everything he outshines
It'll make you wish you looked back, and would've prescribed
Not compromised, screamin' why
How could I be the reason a masterpiece has died
Yea
So instead I plead you refrain
Nobody has to be slain
Even if they beat you senseless til' you walk with a cain
Then when you stand before the One, The Sacrificial Perfect Frame
Instead of fallin' with you pain and shame down Lucifer's Lane
You'll rise when you hear him declare your name
And these lines can't begin to describe the eternity you'll gain
Lookin' down sayin', prayin' that your brothers will do the same
Amen
Peace
Izziachi
