Signed Up to Die - Thi’sl

They pulled that boy up out the shed
Now he walkin down the road
Beatin gettin more intense every other step he go
They whipped 'im punched 'im kicked 'im slapped 'im
Ripped that boy up out his clothes
Couple punches to the face
Second one broke his nose
They laughin at him
They spittin at him
They kickin at him
Dog barkin at him
He thinkin to his-self
How could this happen
He black out for a minute
They throw water at him
A week ago he was sittin up playin with his kids
Wife and family all around
In the comfort of his crib
Birthday party
Passing gifts
Last thing that he remember
Packing for a mission trip
Now its about to go down
That's what he was thinkin
As he sit there knelt to the ground
His killa walked up on
And looked him in the eye
He said aren't you gonna beg
He said no
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
Die die die
I signed up to die
She was only twelve
When she heard about the name of Christ
Saw the beauty of his love
Instantly it changed her life
Secret meetin's in the late night
Pulled her out the dark
Now she 'bout to go and be a light
She don't know nuthin 'bout no Bible teachers
Cuz where she from there aint no Bible theachin
Matter fact it is forbiden
But she done found a treasure that she couldn't keep hidden
Now she standin in a circle
A hundred people yellin out
Convert or we gone hurt you
I know she had to be scared
But she thought about that preacher
And the words that he said
He told 'em all about Steven
How he was 'bout to die
He looked up and saw Jesus
And her killa walked up on her
He looked her in the eye
He said are you gone convert
She said no
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
Die die die
I signed up to die
He picked him family up
And he moved 'em to the inner city
Not to get a job but to go and be a missionary
His family told him
Boy you insane
You gone get yourself killed
Get a bullet to the brain
But he still went to do the work
He still went to plant a church
Cuz God gave him a vision
And he gone use that vision to help go rebuild the city
But now he starin down the barrel
They tossin up his office
Yellin and they cursin at him
You think that he would be scared
But he thought about the Bible
And the words Jesus said
And now he prayin for the killas
Like even if they kill me
Lord bring these boys to repentance
Then his killa walked up on him
He looked him in the eye
He said aren't you even scared
He said no
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there
I signed up to die
Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me
I signed up to die
Die die die
I signed up to die
