    OUT OF FAVOR(4 STEPH)

    I remember your voice so filled with hope
    Dee, I'm gonna beat this Monster again
    snatch back my pride and find a groove
    and ride on the rhythm of the wind

    but winds of change came from the East
    giving plenty of time
    4 the Beast 2 Feast
    soon you were falling 2 the ground
    I can only imagine how a lost spirit sounds
    when it falls
    out of favor
    with the Savior

    Always told me you believed in God
    now your heart is broken
    by the wayward roads you've trod
    I wonder if the love in your smile
    has been replaced by hatred and scorn
    been beneath the underdog
    since the day you were born

    Your Daddy left when you were young
    Momma wasn't watchin when you
    embraced the streets
    I remember a Queen tall and fine
    replaced by a stranger with rags
    on her feet

    Every man you met had the name John
    didn't care how you were looked upon
    all you desired was a ride
    on a high
    you could savor
    I wonder if that's when you began
    falling out of favor
    with the Savior


    Took a ride
    down 2 Village Ghetto land
    with Jesus by my side
    and a gun in my hand
    I love my God with all my heart
    but the Hood ain't neva take much of a spark
    Brothers walking round with gasoline cans
    shoot first, ask questions after they shoot a man

    Don't take much guessin
    I know where you are
    in the back room
    above Tommy's Bar
    Tommy knows all about the evil side
    of me and my kin
    won't have much a problem
    getting in

    Gonna take a broom
    and sweep up your mess
    force you down on your knees
    beside me so you can confess
    why you fell 2 Hell
    and out of favor
    with the Savior
