Can the church say Amen? (Amen reverend)[00:00:00]

We gon＇ do another off in right now[00:00:01]

We gon＇ do another one in fifteen minutes[00:00:03]

And we gon＇ do one mo＇, right after that[00:00:05]

Yes, women you lookin so very beautiful here today[00:00:08]

Some of you with the same thang on from the club last night[00:00:11]

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away[00:00:14]

Oh Lord Jesus I wish you＇d taketh away Sister Mary＇s wig[00:00:16]

Oh you disrespectin the House of God with that thing[00:00:20]

It don＇t even look real; aww, it＇s testimony time[00:00:23]

Oh who is that? Young Chris Bridges[00:00:25]

Boy I＇m glad you finally grew into them ears[00:00:27]

Go on and testify[00:00:30]

(Ludacris)[00:00:31]

Lord, please forgive me for the mistakes I＇ve made[00:00:32]

And thanks for keepin my momma safe when she wrecked my Escalade[00:00:34]

See I could replace a Cadillac but I can＇t replace my momma[00:00:38]

I＇m sorry for the hip-hop beefs, we sorry for the drama[00:00:42]

But you gotta understand us rappers ain＇t never had nothin[00:00:45]

And one＇s loss is another＇s gain so we gotta grab somethin[00:00:49]

Lord, got so many questions I need the answers to[00:00:52]

And sorry for the thangs I put my baby＇s mama through[00:00:56]

I feel that women are really the strongest human beings[00:00:59]

But why do you make ＇em so emotional, and other minor things[00:01:02]

I guess it＇s your way of sayin we gotta love ＇em and gotta praise ＇em[00:01:06]

Cause without ＇em we＇d be nothin, plus our kids they gotta raise ＇em[00:01:09]

While we, out and about and seein what life has to offer[00:01:13]

But if you offer a new life then what we need is better fathers[00:01:16]

Either I＇m smarter cause of my daughter or I＇m just too dense[00:01:20]

I＇m 28 years old, it just now started makin sense[00:01:23]

And I＇ve been...[00:01:26]

(Chorus One)[00:01:27]

Searchin so looooong, I was lost in the clouds[00:01:28]

I＇m tryna stay strooooong, and make you prouuuuud[00:01:33]

It took me some tiiiiime, but now I see[00:01:40]

That Heeeee resiiiiides, in me yeahhhhh yeah[00:01:46]

(Ludacris)[00:01:52]

Lord, forgive me for anytime a fan said I was bein rude[00:01:53]

I＇m only human, I＇m not always in the best of moods[00:01:59]

But thanks for givin the gift of rap to write my feelings down[00:02:02]

And sorry for cursin sometimes but feelings make me shout ＇em out[00:02:06]

Forgive the people that wanna blame everything on rap music[00:02:09]

If they didn＇t live it they can＇t relate or even adapt to it[00:02:13]

Forgive those who don＇t think I＇m great and wanna see me go[00:02:16]

Forgive Oprah for editin most my comments off her show[00:02:20]

Don＇t get me wrong, I know some people got a image to hold[00:02:23]

But those who criticize the youth might just be gettin too old[00:02:27]

We still travellin through life, findin what＇s right or wrong[00:02:30]

I know some folks may not agree or even like this song[00:02:34]

But I＇m just speakin MY truth, cause I heard it sets you free[00:02:37]

And my conversation＇s with God, even though he speaks through me[00:02:41]

I＇m smarter cause of my daughter, and I＇m NOT too dense[00:02:44]

I＇m 28 years old, it just now started makin sense[00:02:47]

And I＇ve been...[00:02:51]

(Chorus One)[00:02:51]

(Ludacris - over Chorus One)[00:02:53]

I＇ve been searchin so long[00:02:54]

I admit that I＇ve been lost in them clouds[00:02:55]

I＇m just tryna stay strong baby[00:02:59]

You know I＇ma make you proud[00:03:02]

I know life is full of contradictions[00:03:05]

I＇m tryna become a better man[00:03:09]

Prayin for redemption, each and every day[00:03:13]

(Hallelujah, as the choir sings)[00:03:19]

(Chorus Two: sung by choir)[00:03:20]

Searchin so looooong (so long) lost in the clouuuuuds (in the clouds)[00:03:21]

Tryin to stay strooooong, and make you prouuuuud - make you proud![00:03:26]

Took me some tiiiiime (took me some time) now I seeeee (oh now I see)[00:03:33]

Heeeee resiiiides, in me (yeah)[00:03:39]

(Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special guest in the house tonight[00:03:42]

Came with some words of encouragement, Bishop Eddie Long)[00:03:44]

(Chorus Two - repeat 2X, minus ad libs)[00:03:48]

(Outro: Bishop Eddie Lee Long)[00:03:50]

What you just heard is real life[00:03:50]

It＇s real life for you, it＇s real life for many[00:03:52]

It＇s about where you been, yet at the same time you[00:03:53]

Ay, you find yourself, in the midst of conflict and turmoil[00:03:56]

Yes I＇m talkin to you, in the midst of conflict and turmoil[00:04:00]

Cause you realize HEY - it＇s, time to change right now[00:04:03]

And in the middle of that I wanna say this[00:04:08]

The Bible says that when I was a child, I spoke as a child[00:04:10]

I understood as a child, I fought as a child[00:04:14]

Hey, but when I became a man[00:04:19]

I put away those, childish things[00:04:22]

Did you not know that your environment has shaped you?[00:04:25]

Where you were born, in the projects, in the ghettoes[00:04:28]

In the upper downtown, wherever it was[00:04:31]

The people around you, the things around you[00:04:33]

Cause you to do strange things because, you were seeking to learn[00:04:36]

But what you learned, was on the streets, and not in the book[00:04:40]

God called you a prophet[00:04:43]

When you open up your mouth, everything of God comes out[00:04:44]

And it commands attention, it commands change[00:04:48]

I＇m talking about the power, that＇s inside of you[00:04:52]

And in the midst when you＇re, starting to understand[00:04:55]

That I caught the wrong message, and now it＇s time[00:04:58]

I＇m hearing from God, what amazing experience, as you hear from God[00:05:00]

He said, ＂Is there forth any man be in Christ, he is a new creation＂[00:05:05]

Old things are passed away, somebody needs to hear that and behold[00:05:09]

Everything becomes new, and when everything becomes new in you[00:05:15]

It＇s time to stop the killing[00:05:18]

I said it＇s time to stop the stealing[00:05:21]

It＇s time to stop disrespecting our women[00:05:23]

It＇s time for us to come home and raise our children[00:05:26]

It＇s time for us, to really mold our communities[00:05:29]

It＇s time for us, not to get hooked up in religion[00:05:33]

But to get hooked up in relationship, with God[00:05:36]

And the amazing thing about it[00:05:39]

Is wherever you find yourself right now, you can confess[00:05:41]

And you can tell God ＂I＇m sorry;[00:05:44]

I had the wrong cue, I was doing the wrong thing[00:05:46]

I was going after things that I thought were right, but it wasn＇t right[00:05:49]

And now that I＇m getting it right, I＇m asking you to forgive me[00:05:53]

And I may have done the things, that they said I did[00:05:56]

But I＇m not, who they say I am; I am who you made me to be[00:06:00]

And I＇m changing in that, and it takes a few moments[00:06:05]

But every time I fall down, I＇ll get right back up[00:06:08]

And every time I make a wrong turn, I＇ll get myself back in line[00:06:12]

Because I recognize, I have been called, for such a time as this!＂[00:06:15]

You can＇t resist the change[00:06:21]

And you＇re not condemned by your yesterday[00:06:23]

If you can grab hold of your now, and move in your destiny[00:06:26]

Move, change, and be, now![00:06:31]

(Chorus Three: sung by choir)[00:06:35]

Searchin so looooong, lost in the clouuuuuds[00:06:36]

Tryin to stay strooooong, and make you prouuuuud - make you proud![00:06:41]

Took me some tiiiiime (took me some time) now I seeeee[00:06:49]

Heeeee resiiiides (Heeee resiiiides) in me (in me yeahhhhh)[00:06:55]
