Let's Go
Don't waste your life, man
:Verse 1:
I know a lot of [Em]people that are scared they gonna die,
Couple of 'em [Am]thinkin' they'll be livin' in the sky
While I'm here [C]livin' man I gotta ask why,
What am I [G]here for I gotta figure out,
Waste my [Em]life, no I gotta make it count,
If Christ is [Am]real then what am I gonna do about,
Every[C]thing in Luke 12:15 down to 21 ya really gotta go and check it out,
Paul [G]said if Christ aint resurrected we wasted our lives,
Well that [Em]implies that our lives drift around Jesus being alive,
Everyday I [Am]live I try to show the world why,
Christ is [G]more than anything I'd ever try,
Better than [C]pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any woman
and men that you adm[G]ire
It aint no lie!
We created for Him,
[Em]Out of the dust he made us for Him,
[Am]Elects us and he saved us for Him,
[C]Jesus comes and he raised us for Him,
[G]Magnify the Father, why bother with something lesser?
He m[Em]ade us so we could bless Him, (Bless Him)
Tell the [Am]world we confess Him,
Resurre[C]cts Him,
So I know I got life,
[G]Matter fact better man I know I got Christ,
[Em]If you don't see His ways in my days in my nights,
[Am]You can hit my breaks you can stop my life,
[C]Man I lost my rights, lost my life,
[G]Forget the money, cars and toss that ice,
The [Em]cost is Christ,
And they can never offer me a[Am/Bm]nything any better that would cost that price
:Chorus:
Don't wanna waste my [Em]life, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my [Am]life, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my [C]life, life, life,
Don't wanna waste my,[D]
Don't wanna waste my,
(x2)
Don't wanna waste my life[Em]
:Verse 2:
Armed and dangerous
So the devil just can't [Am]hang with us
Christian youth they must [C]stand with us
Livin' n driven, given a vision, fullfillin the commission he [G]handed us
London to Los Angeles
The rap evangelist
My daddy wouldn't [Em]abandon us
"I gotta back pack fulla tracts and I getta Johnny Mac"
So are you ready to jam with us, so lets [Am]go
Gimme the word and lets go
Persecution lets [C]go
Tribulation lets go
Across the nation let's [G]go
Procrastination let's go
Hung on the cross in the [Em]cold
Died for the young and the[Am] old
Can't say you never know
Heaven knows
How many s[C]ouls are going to hell or to heaven so we gotta go in and get em
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Suffer, yeah, do it for Christ,
If you're [Am]trying to figure out what to do with ya life,
If you make a [C]lot of money hope your doin' it right,
Because the money is [G]Godā??s, you better steward it right,
You stay [Em]focused, you ain't got no ride,
Your [Am]life ain't wrapped up in what you drive,
The c[C]lothes you wear, the job you work,
The [G]color your skin, nah you're Christian first,
People get it living for a [Em]job,
Make a little money start living for a [Am]car,
Get em a wife, a house, kids and a [C]dog,
Then they retire, they living high on the [G]hog,
But guess w[Em]hat? They didnā??t ever really live at all,
To live is [Am]Christ, and thatā??s Paul I recall,
To die is [C]gain and for Christ we give it all,
He's the [G]treasure you'll never find in a mall,
See your [Em]money, your singleness, marriage, talents, your time,
They were [Am]loaned you to show the world that Christ is divine,
That's why its [C]Christ in my rhymes,
That's why its [G]Christ all the time,
See my whole w[Em]orld is built around Him,
He's the l[Am]ife in my lines,
I ref[C]use to waste my life,
He's too t[G]rue to chase that ice,
Here's my [Em]gift and time,
'cause I'm constantly tryna ta be [Am]used to praise the Christ,
If He's t[C]ruly raised to life,
Then this [G]news should change your life,
And by His gr[Em]ace you can put your fai[Am]th in the place that ru[C]les your days and nights, YES!
:Chorus:
Don't wanna waste my [Em]life, life, life, (Gotta give you, one hundred Lord)
Don't wanna waste my [Am]life, life, life, (Even with the, days gone Lord)
Don't wanna waste my [C]life, life, life, (Gotta live for)
Don't wanna waste my,[D] (For something more)
Don't wanna waste my,(And that something is You)
(2x)
Don't wanna waste my [Em]life (Don't wanna waste my life)
:Outro:
[Em] [Am] [C] [D]
