Shadows of Life

I did not come to the mic to tell what my life was like, but to give voice to ear,in hopes that all would hear, about the trick of the enemy, that's causing pain and envey for many.

Now rappin seems to be what's up! and if rappin is your thing, then catch the beat to the words that I speak! see, it's full of meat, seed to feed the weak, and it will have you getting up out your seat. when I'm finished have you chose the man you'll want to meet.

You might be laughing or saying "Yea Right" how I know

He came and found me, in my time of need, and I wasn't on my knee. I was broken, stripped and naked, wanting to quit, not what I was doing or what was destorying me, but on what didn't belong to me "LIFE"

I wanted to give up, but gracious, merciful and kind God, he took what belonged to him " My Life" and put it back together, clothed me with the whole armor of God, that I may be able to withstand in the evil day.
Dress my loins with truth and the breastplate of righteousness; on my feet, shoes, prepared with the gospel of peace, a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit; which is the word of God.

See I too was like you, double minded, and unstable in all my ways, with a heart of stone. today my life is not blue as I witness to you that you can be made new. For he renewed my mind and gave me a heart of flesh.

Flesh that feel, live, breath... and with every beat of my heart, a step, a step to that righteous place. The place where I can rest. Not put to the test, to see who's best.  Now I sing to a different beat. A beat where you can't rest your feet.... It's to a tune brand new to me and you.

No longer lost in " The Shadows of Life ", but found in the light. A light that shines so bright, that'll make the sun jealous.

No longer trapprd in a box, feeling there's no way out. I raise my hands to salvation, where I received true love with no doubt. No more hungry days, left unsatisfied, I now turn to my lord, where I feel gratified.

Lie, steal, hurt, and cheat.... is what the enemy wants from you. All the while making you feel the love from our father is untrue.

Let me be where I can stand free. Free from the drama and the pain, oh Lord please let there be peace before the rain.

Now here I stand, away from the darkness, into the light.
With my hands raised, and my head held high.

Praising you for all you've done for me even in my moments of strife, helping me rise above the negativity and those dark shadows of life.

Your rappin rhyme is beautiful but you abandoned it in the middle and I got a little lost, then you picked it back up toward the end. Rap is a true art form and you can do it very well, so only thing I can suggest is that you consider how that middle part could be made into the Rap form. You are so very interesting.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
