Intro
Jesus said, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but the One who sent me.”
Verse 1:
It's 5 am in the morning at the church in Watts (church in Watts)
Sun's rising, I heard cars racing then gun shots (blaaaaaaaaa!)
Looked outside, saw dudes with shaved heads and long socks (yup!)
strapped with guns, with oozies, with ak's, and glocks (pow!)
they got em, they shot em, da young kid dead like possum
no hostage, it cost him, his life and just like a fish they caught him.
Why did they take the kid's life away?
He was not in the right place that day.
He wore a hat, it was red on display
The color's the same as the rival gang
This is what happens, I'm rappin'
I'm rappin' 'bout some people, who lack in compassion
who fail to see, Jesus Christ in his passion,
who lives in all people, yes, this is forreal
take a love pill, it will make your eyes peel
It'll help you see, Jesus lives in you and me
Jesus bring peace to our city
bring peace to our streets
Lord have mercy and have pity
give grace through this beat
CHORUS
(ayyy) The kids of the streets are killed
The blood of the kids are spilled (they spilled!)
The blood of the kids are Christs'
The blood of the kids tonight (yeh!)
The kids of the streets are killed
The blood of the kids are spilled (braaaaa!)
The blood of the kids are Christs'
The blood of the kids tonight (chyea!)
Verse 2:
Tonight, tonight, tonight
put up your dukes, bring on da fight (put em up!)
the devil be lurkin' tonight
he in da dark , stay in da light (flash!)
to God be the glory, to God be the might
prayer's your sword, and you are a knight
it takes you high like a beach kite in flight
higher and higher, out of all sight
ya (ya)....ya (ya)...this is what's happening ya (ya)
to our youth in the streets everywhere
on the block getting shot, do you care?
Do you care? (do you?) Do you care? (do you?)
Then if you do say a prayer.
That they may be out of the snare
of the devil who seeks them out there.
Precious of blood of Christ Jesus
save us from our sins and free us
protect us from this disease of evil
come and save your little people
CHORUS
*The blood of the kids bro
You shoot at the kids man,
You shooting at Christ
Beloved children of God, ya feel me?
