Once of the Same Minds - Brother Ig

Once of the Same Minds Lyrics

I just got saved last night,
I let the lord in my heart's door,
Man i never knew a love like this before,
No mor pain no more life being bound,
I wanna tell the world about this love i found,
Then i look around, seems like many are against me,
I cannot tell who's a friend or an enemy,
It's getting me mad, cuz these are one that i would ride for,
I gave my life for and even ones i'd die for,
Oh lord!, give me the strenght to let them understand,
That im not the same ig, im a changed man,
It was your plan July 20th 1997,
the day you took me from the devil and opened up the heaven's,
And reached your hand out, and came into my heart,
Forgave my sins and gave me a new start,
Now i ain't gonna stop,
Many will hate me because of you,
But forgive them father for they know not what they do....

Now i remember, when we was two brothers of the same minds,
Same life, same path, same rhyme,
You on the come up, while I continued to fall,
Didn't see what you saw, feel what you felt at all,
Heard you got saved and you know what too think,
Gotta be a phase you'll be back in a couple of weeks,
But it was real, Jesus got a hold of your soul,
And he ain't about to let go, (that's fo show)
Late night drinkin in the studio(no more),
Playin poker till the sun come up (no more),
Now what am i supposed to do now,
I ain't gonna try to bring my boy back down,
Couldn't understand all the feelings i had,
Thought i knew you, but only to you it was bad,
Took a look at myself, knew i wasn't doin right,
Dwelled in the dark never thought about the light,
Thought the bible was just a book of stories,
Read it for years and it never did nothing for me,
Then you open my eyes, exposed all the lies, and now i realize,
But I ain't ready to be baptized, (But when i promise tomorrow you need to get right today)
But you was once in my shoes so you know the steps that i take...
Chorus
We was once of the same minds,
same thoughts, same plots, same crimes, same life,
But now, we've sperated,
You ain't gotta be in jail homie to be incarserated,
We was once of the same minds,
same thoughts, same plots, same crimes, same life,
But now, we've sperated,
You ain't gotta be in jail homie to be incarserated
I see walking down that path partner, But where you headin',
And who's that walking with you partner, that's my question
What does he tell you, what does he whisper in your ear?
Why do you hold him so near, if all you feel is fear?
Im hear to tell you, that you're just a devil's toy,
He want's to steal, kill, and destroy, using sin as a decoy,
He got you bound, just like a slave...
(I know im in these chains, but im comfortable man...
And everywhere i look, everyone's the same,
been doin' it for so long I ain't ready for change!)
Ain't you tired of this homie? now tell me the truth,
You have 2 kids now, so quit actin' like a fool!
See this is real not the lies you tell yourself,
No candy coating, The path your on is straight to Hell!
I know you hear me, Don't pull the shades on what you see
I know you feel me, so let the truth set you free
(Repeat Chorus)
Brother i Know, the truth will set me free,
I ain't ashamed to say you a better man than me!
Playing games taking chances with my salvation,
If I ain't careful Jesus will get tired of watin',
How many times will I put my lord back on the cross?
Help me Jesus, Cuz right now I'm feelin' lost
I know right from wrong so what's holdin' back?
Im feelin' trapped, victim in the enemies camp,
Bare with me god, cuz only you can save me!
Don't know if im ready for change,
Brother Ig pray for me!
(Praying)
Father lord I life up my brother to you,
You know his struggle lord,
You know everything he goes through in these streets father god...
So i Pray right now lord that you will let him understand,
That the same way you have a plan for him,
The devil has a plan for him lord...
So I pray right now that you will put a hedge of protection around his heart
And his soul Lord,
So that the enemy Cannot come in and sntch away his life.
In Jesus Name I Pray...
Amen...
