letra de a letter to my friends - timothy brindle

[introduction]
alright
dag, man
i’m sorry, yo
i’m sorry, man
d-mn

[verse 1]
this is to all the (deadly) scribes, it’s the least i could do
i apologize for leavin’ the crew
but the decision’s been made, ‘cause this kid has been saved
i was sick and afraid, for wisdom i prayed (job 28:28)
but i been healed by christ, he revealed his light
so now i must rep’ for him, ‘cause i feel it’s right (matthew 10:32-33)
i hope y’all don’t think i turned my back on you
understand, it’s the hardest thing i ever had to do
i laid in agony, prayed there had to be
another way than to actually say, “i have to leave”
it’s been four years and sixty some shows
spittin’ fun flows and rippin’ dumb foes
i spit-up in front rows, we was known for wildin’ out
in cyphers or microphones, we was proud to shout
of course we were suped, i knew we’d set trends
‘cause we were more than a group, a crew of best friends…

[chorus 1]
…and that’s the toughest part of leavin’ y’all
but now i must say peace, because jesus called (luke 14:26-27)
i know you think it’s real weird that i changed
and it wasn’t easy to leave, that’s why there’s tears on this page
a letter to my friends, i’m sorry for leavin’ y’all
but now i must say peace, because jesus called (luke 9:23-24)
i know you think it’s real weird that i changed
and it wasn’t easy to leave, that’s why there’s tears on this page

[verse 2]
to all the bingers: i hope i didn’t ruin our friendship
we used to get woozy and chew on a 10-strip
in a chokin’ coma from the smoke aroma
y’all used to blow a dust bowl like oklahoma
although i enjoyed the many wasted nights
they can’t compare to the grace of christ (psalm 63:3)
now i praise him, ’cause he paid my price
i was living in darkness, now everyday is bright (john 8:12)
it was fun to flow and master verses
now i’m saved, 6 months ago, i was taggin’ churches
right when i’m leavin’ the parts of speech
you’re almost at the point we worked so hard to reach
i guess you’re just gonna have to rock without me
mic language and cience, you always got me rowdy
dos noun, i wrote my first rhyme with you, bro
you showed me how to spit punchlines at a show
verbal tec, you taught me how to spit viciously
i thank you for teaching me your sick delivery
but more importantly, you all were there for me
always, i love you for that, ’cause it’s a rarity

[chorus 2]
this is a letter to my friends, i’m sorry for leavin’, yo
but i must say peace, because jesus called (matthew 10:37-39)
there’s nothing that i loved more than the crew
so if i left, this must have been important and true
a letter to my friends, i’m sorry for leavin’, yo
but i must say peace because jesus called
there’s nothing that i loved more than the crew
so if i left, this must have been important and true

[verse 3]
written 4/03
they say, “ambush left the crew to seek religion
he ceased from spittin’, i guess he’s a christian”
nah, i bounced, ’cause now i’m seen forgiven
and my deep conviction’s to see others redeemed and risen
and i wouldn’t be surprised if sometimes you wonder
how this guy turned into a bible-thumper
but i pray my salvation’s a great example
of how god can save a crazy raging vandal (jeremiah 32:17)
and i’m sorry y’all that we hardly even talk
but i been called as a part of jesus’ flock (john 10:4)
it’s not that i decided to change personally
it’s christ abiding inside who stays workin’ in me (philippians 2:13)
ambush the animated was crucified with him (galatians 2:20)
that man was amputated, in christ, he died to sin (romans 6:6)
and i bet that no one would’ve ever guessed this
i didn’t change for the better- i’ve been resurrected! (john 11:43-44)
i know no one likes to be told, “you’re flawed”
but someday, we’ll stand before a holy god (matthew 25:31-46)
(that’s the truth) and, yo, i got too much love for you cats
just to sit back and withhold these wonderful facts
that, when christ’s slamming his rod (psalm 2:9)
wicked sinners like us can have a right standing with god (justification; romans 4:4-5)
which comes through repentance and faith (romans 3:22)
that jesus christ died on your behalf and that your sentence is paid (romans 3:25)
yo, he can save ya! (isaiah 59:1-3)
your existence is incomplete until you know your creator (john 17:3)
this world is vanity (ecclesiastes 1:14), it’s p-ssin’ away (1 john 1:17)
you could be rappin’ today and tomorrow, be smashed into clay (james 4:14)
instead of seekin’ pleasure in drugs and mics
peep the treasure of the love christ (ephesians 3:17-19)
please surrender, he’ll fill your every desire (john 4:13)
have peace forever, come chill in heavenly attire

[outro]
that’s the truth, y’all
from my heart
this is to all the deadly scribes
figurative language and parts of speech
to the whole binge crew
i have a unceasing grief in my heart for all of you cats
and i just want y’all to experience the love of jesus christ
and the joy of having your sins forgiven
a’ight
peace, y’all
love you

[turntablism]
signed, sincerely
