"I tell you this brothers flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God"
"Nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable"
"Behold, I tell you a mystery we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed"
"In a moment in a twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet"
"For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable"
"And we shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:50-52)
Yo yo yo the names Trey
And it's black out day
Showing up in suit and tie to stand up over a grave
Brother had that couple problems that he couldn't get straight
Sold his life for how he living
Now I'm doing the same
Fast forward a couple years Brodie left them a space
Say it's up for me to fill, but had to make sure we safe
The test will come for anybody that was losing they place
So I couldn't be stagnant had to enter the chase
And mama had a couple bills that she couldn't get paid
And daddy had a couple jobs but we ain't caught a break
And If I took me the job the future might bring some bank
I ain't really have a choice I was forced in the game
That's when they told me the one slipping
was dude who just started dealing
Had problems with his girl,
now he into some bad business, Felt bad for him
but knew the bank looking big different
Providing for the family, gonna come with some tough decisions
I stay waiting, until they gave me the descriptions
Time, date, place, had to make sure I ain't slipping
Big shoes to fill, had to live up to they vision
Now it's game time, had to push away my feelings
Standing on this corner
Bit lanky but broad shoulders
A Black hat, white shoes signed by his brother Noah
Buddy acting tough but it's a really persona
You'll know him when you see him still in school but a bit older
Rolling up to the spot
Ain't gonna reach for the shot
Time check on the watch
Relax their ain't gon be cops
See my big brothers homie he walking up to the drop
Told me if I want to buy I better have stupid knots
Now my hearts racing, had make up a story
To get his mind chasing
Another fable distorted
Can't make him impatient,
Or this might end up morbid
So I tell bout my mama, need a smoke, keep me going
That's when he noticed me acting , skiddish in every fashion
Can't catch my breath, now I'm lacking
Reach for the shot I was packing
He told me make the transaction,
I told him "no" with a passion
I'm in a dangerous situation, and I ain't got no practice
I pushed him back
He hit the fence
I swung one more time, but then I missed
And so I pulled out the shotty but he was quick
He shot me in the chest before I could even flinch
Now I'm just like bro and lying in the streets
He went through my pockets and saw I had enough cheese
I don't understand, one shot one me
Now I'm just another body, given up for some tree
"For this perishable body must put on the imperishable"
"In this mortal body shall put on immortality"
"For when the perishable puts on the imperishable"
"And the mortal puts on immortality,
then shall come to past the saying that is written,"
"Death is swallowed up in victory O, death where is your victory? O, death Where is your sting?
"The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law"
"But thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ"
"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord"
"Knowing that in the Lord, your labor is not in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:53-58)
