Rapping Lines of Recovery

Since May I have been visiting a group home for young men in our area to hold a Bible study. Most of these guys have had a hard past and have made some poor decisions that brought them to this avenue in their lives. During the study last week I asked the guys what their dream job would be, two of them said they would love to be rappers some day. I thought if they wanted to be rappers they must have some rhymes, so after the study I asked them to share. I have to say I was impressed with their ability to rap, but I was even more impressed with their lyrics. One of the young men, Devin talked about recovery, and doing something with his life because he knew God had more in store for him. The other young man, Patrick has a one year old daughter who has cerebral palsy, every time we meet he asks me to pray for her and has a desire for transformation primarily because he wants to be a better father for her in the future. I thought I would share their rhymes with you, enjoy.

R3COV3RY Now
I got my family on my mind like all the time
I can't seem to get them off my mind like every rhyme
Its like its ripping holes through space and time
My girl Paige on my mind like every sick line
Gotta find the time to make up my mind, to stay in line
Need to find things to occupy my time so I don't end up in the kitchen
hot, sweety, and itchin
I'm all about recovery now
So Ima make up my mind now
God told me its my time now
To do something with my life now
So I don't end up in jail or shot
Cause I don't want to die now
Don't want to run from the cops no more
So I think its time to change cause I know there's going to be consequences
Repercussion for every time now
So I gotta come down, so I can be there for my family now
-Devin

da best thing I ever had
Close my eyes and see my daughter
Man she really need a father
But, I got locked up, should have played it smarter
Was gettin strung out on da drugs
Wish I could'v see how bad dat it was
But, now it's to late
Done sealed my own fate
Won't see her blow out da candles on da cake
Kno it wouldn't matter to some other dads
But, my daughter's da best thing I ever had
Went threw more in a year
Than some do in a lifetime
and if she died, so would I
because she is my lifeline
-Patrick
