A Letter to My Friends Lyrics

Verse 1
This is to all the (Deadly) Scribes/
It�s the least I could do/ I apologize/
For leavin' the crew/ but the decision's been made/
�Cause this kid has been saved/
I was sick and afraid for wisdom I prayed (Job 28:28)/
But I been healed by Christ/
He revealed His Light so now I must rep' for Him, �cause I feel it's right (Matt. 10:32-33)/
I hope y'all don't think I turned my back on you/
Understand it's the hardest thing I ever had to do/
I laid in agony, prayed there had to be/
Another way than to actually say, 'I have to leave'/
It�s been four years and sixty some shows/
Spittin' fun flows and rippin' dumb foes/
I spit-up in front rows, we was known for wildin' out/
In ciphers or microphones/
We was proud to shout of course we were souped/
I knew we'd set trends �cause we were more than a group, a crew of best friends...

Hook
...and that's the toughest part of leavin' yall/
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Luke 14:26-27)/
I know you think it's real weird that I changed/
And it wasn't easy to leave, that's why there's tears on this page/
A letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall/
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Luke 9:23-24)/
I know you think it's real weird that I changed/
and it wasn't easy to leave, that's why there's tears on this page/

Verse 2
To all the bingers: I hope I didn't ruin our friendship/
We used to get woozy and chew on a 10-strip/
In a chokin' coma from the smoke aroma/
Y�all used to blow a dust bowl like Oklahoma/
Although I enjoyed the many wasted nights/
They can't compare to the Grace of Christ (Psalm 63:3)/
Now I praise Him cause He paid my price/
I was living in darkness. Now everyday is bright! (John 8:12)/
It was fun to flow and master verses/
Now I'm saved, 6 months ago I was taggin' churches/
Right when I'm leavin' the Parts of Speech/
You�re almost at the point we worked so hard to reach/
I guess your just gonna have to rock with out me/
Mic Language and Cience, you always got me rowdy/
Dos Noun, I wrote my first rhyme with you, bro/
You showed me how to spit punchlines at a show/
Verbal Tec, you taught me how to spit viciously/
I thank you for teaching me your sick delivery/
But more importantly, you all were there for me/
Always, I love for that 'cause it's a rarity.
Hook:
This is a letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall/
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Matt. 10:37-39)/
There�s nothing that I loved more than the crew/
So if I left, it must have been important and true/
A letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall/
But now I must say peace because Jesus called /
There�s nothing that I loved more than the crew/
So if I left, it must have been important and true/

Verse 3
written 4/03
They say, "Ambush left the crew to seek religion/
He ceased from spittin'/
I guess he's a Christian"/
Nah I bounced cuz now I'm seen forgiven/
And my deep conviction's to see others redeemed and risen/
And I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes you wonder/
How this guy turned into a Bible thumper/
But I pray my salvation's a great example/
Of how God can save a crazy raging vandal (Jer. 32:17)/
And I'm sorry y�all that we hardly even talk/
But I been called as a part of Jesus' flock (John 10:4)/
It�s not that I decided to change personally/
It�s Christ abiding inside who stays working in me (Philippians 2:13)/
Ambush the Animated was crucified with Him (Gal. 2:20)/
That man was amputated in Christ He died to sin (Rom. 6:6)/
And I bet that no one would have ever guessed this/
I didn't change for the better- I'VE BEEN RESURRECTED! (John 11:43-44)/
And I know no one like to be told 'your flawed'/
But someday we'll stand before a Holy God (Matt. 25:31-46)/
(That�s the truth) and I got to much love for you cats/
Just sit back and with hold these wonderful facts/
That, when Christ's slamming His rod (Psalm 2:9)/
Wicked sinners like us can have a right-standing with God (justification; Romans 4:4-5)/ Which comes through repentance and faith (Rom.3:22)/
That Jesus Christ died on your behalf and that your sentence is paid! (Rom. 3:25)/
Yo, He can save ya! (Isaiah 59:1-3)/
Your existence is incomplete until you know your Creator (John 17:3)/
This world is vanity (Eccl. 1:14), it's passin' away (1 John 1:17)/
You could be rappin' today and tomorrow smashed into clay (James 4:14)/
Instead of seekin' pleasure in drugs and mics/
Peep the treasure of the love Christ (Eph. 3:17-19)/
Please surrender He'll fill your every desire (John 4:13)/
Have peace forever come chill in heavenly attire...
