Childs Of Light

(album: My Own Thing - 2003)

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, childs of light, y'all
Are you ready? Are you ready? Yeah
Just a child, yo, Manafest, still in this
This is nothing, uh huh, we got something for ya, uh
Childs of light, y'all, bring it 'til you like this
Yo, yo, tell 'em what it is

It's the Christ inside of me, I think silently
Reflect on the day past corruption in society
I try to be that Christlike type, shine the light
Live the life, and at the end, yo, it's alright
For the record you get the message
My second life is reborn, an antidepressant
And traveled through my eye socket
Tore out my blind optic, cross-stitch biblical diagnostics
God's kids, know my crew for the love
And the way we drop it, drop it
Have you ever walked on air? I walk without care
Marching through the alley of death without fear
The joy of the Lord's at my rear
Creator of the universe lives inside here
Plus my queen got me in her prayers, I'm blessed beyond measure
I gave a stone heart, and He gave me back treasure
To think I used to live my life for Jeze'
The devil had me tricked, I was blinded by the pleasure
Seeking life from dead things, but paper can't breathe
I listened to my soul, took hold and took heed

We the childs of light, rescued from the darkness
Come and live in the light with us
It's up to you when you hear the call
He died on the Cross so that you He could live in y'all
We the childs of light, rescued from the darkness
Come and live in the light with us (It's up to you, yo)
Come and live in the light with us
It's up to you when you hear the call

I read the word of life, I seen a burning light
Shine in my atmosphere, love that'll catch the tears
It's all-day happiness, I travel this abroad
For my God-making marks on the atlas
We the childs of light, we uphold what's right
Yo, I'm in my bed sleeping while they roll at night
I don't roll like I wanna fight, I ain't scared
Plus, only weak men enjoyed being feared
In these evil times, love and righteous seems weird
But it's only 'cause of God that my soul was spared
Now I look to the future, and I rap for yours
There's still flaws, I still pause, but I would die for the cause
'Cause He died for me, He abides in me
And I can't live silent

Visualize this, man or myth, the fifth element
Amidst your brokenness, yes, God exists
I've risked my life too many times, I'm feeling empty
Mentally I wanna pray on for a century
Memories of my past and present
I look the future in the eye with a message
God is the method, whether you respect it
Childs of light psalms, bring alarm for the wrong that's infested
And yet I found my place, it surrounds my face
To find hate, can't take away my mind state
I'm living deep in a world, you don't really know
To breathe life, shine light through your stereo

We the childs of light, rescued from the darkness
Come and live in the light with us
It's up to you when you hear the call
He died on the Cross so that you He could live in y'all
We the childs of light, rescued from the darkness
Come and live in the light with us (It's up to you, yo)
Come and live in the light with us
It's up to you when you hear the call

Manafest, Jusachyl
How we doing this, yeah
