1st verse
Got my head to the sky nowadays I wait and watch for Jesus
The way hip hop still waits for Dr Dre to drop the Detox
Pumped to fly in outer space but not from Reebok
-Was bound- now free of the locks like I got dropped from D-block
Would be out street dodging police riding with heat
Hollar at peeps -got what you need- product was weed
No matter how many dollars I seen conscience would bothering me
Obviously God wasn't pleased in spite of what I tried to believe
-Got on my knees- saying Lord you and me know I'm destroyed, ruined
Grieved from things all my friends think I enjoy doing
Overtaken by Satan, hustling, who*edom, robbing
And heavy drinking thinking I could just ignore my problems
Saved from being laid in the grave via AIDS or a bullet
So I praise to the fullest
If you knew where I come from and every circumstance that I made it through
You would understand why I rejoice the way I do True!
Chorus
Nazareth
The place I'm from's a part of town where you should not be
Nazareth
Everyday's a nightmare they say to me do not dream
Nazareth
Can good things come from
Nazareth
Time to conquer my
Nazareth
2nd verse
My life is more worthless than stone
But the mud beneath me is foundation to my home
-Defend your pride- look into my eyes and stare
Walking in your shoes is bad but mine are not even there
Open doors are hard to close when
Ma and daddy's hearts are frozen
Tears are streaming live on camera
Broken lives on every channel
But still I stand
Cause I believe I'm more with my life in your hands
Even if its
Repeat Chorus
O Nazareth
Can good things come from there's what you're asking us
I was dead you could've called me Lazarus
Til I was called to come forth now Im alive nothing short of a miracle
Learned to live above reproach
On Earth prior to giving up the ghost
The one who shed His blood for me is where I put my trust indeed
Now Im alcohol, who*edom, robbery and hustle free
Probably be a slave it was up to me
Chasing the illusion they call the life of luxury
Overcame it all with faith the size of a mustard seed
I refuse to let man's statistic tell me what to be
You got a dream? Go and get it if you want it
So what you're from the hood even Jesus was from it
He took every excuse to the Cross so you can shun it
Follow Him so you can overcome it
Conquer your Nazareth!
Repeat Chorus
