For You

[Intro]
Aye, its crazy man
People look up to somebody, because, you know what I'm saying, he got shot like 9 times
Or he been to jail, you know what I'm sayin'
But if you think about it
He didn't get shot 9 times for you, he wouldn't go to jail for you!
I know somebody who did something for you!

[verse 1]
(for you)He went to the Garden of Gethsemane
Knowing that He will be arrested by the enemies
And still He decided to stay
Told Peter, John, and James, "Ya'll stay awake, I'm go pray"
So He went up a little farther
Lay face down and started praying to the Father
And so distressed He was
His sweat fell down like drops of blood
He said, "Father, I don't want to die
Yet I want to do your will, not mine
I mean, I'll do whatever you say
But is it possible we can do this another way?
I'm yours, I give you my last breath
Do I have to die this so horrible death?
Well, if they have to kill your Son
Then Father, your will be done." (For you)
He went back and what did He peep?
It was John, James, and Pete. Sleep
He said, "You couldn't stay up for one hour, dude?
Ya'll gonna mess around and temptation over power you
Listen. Get back in position
Ya'll stay prayed up and most of all, Stay Up!"
He went back and prayed some more and
He came back and all three of them were snoring
"Still sleeping, huh? Still resting?
Well Judas and them is here for the arresting."
As they got up, they sure could see
Lynch mob coming with all of the religious leaders
It was thugs with sticks and gloves and torches and swords
All of this for the Lord
And they was angry and talking really loud
And one man stepped from the crowd and he said
"Teacher! Good to see ya!
I've been looking for you all night, try'na reach ya
I'm telling ya, you've been missed
And allow me to give you this." (Kiss)
And Jesus said, "You was coming and I knew it
To betray me but you must use a kiss to do it?
Be gone, let's get it on
I'm ready to receive my throne."
But Peter said, "Not while I'm here, dawg."
And he pulled out his sword and slashed some dudes ear off
But Jesus said, "No, that's not why I'm here."
So He gave the dude back his ear, and said, "Hear
Here I can have a thousand angels
To save us and have all these scoundrels strangled
You've been with me, you know that it's true
But I've got work to do." (For you)

[verse 2]
He went to the house of the priests
Where they were try'na pull people off the streets
For lying and testifying
So they would have reason to try him and crucify him
They said "Are you the messiah?"
He said "I am"
And they all said "LIAR!"
They took off their robes and the said "blasphemy!"
And they tore their clothes
They spit in his and his hair, they beat him to the ground and they knew it wasn't fair
To put a blindfold over his eyes and
Ask him "who is the prophet who hit you this time!"
And they knocked him down, he didn't cry, he didn't make a sound
They beat that man black and blue
He knew what he had to do
He did that for you!

[verse 3]
It was late, everybody was tired
Early the next morning they took him to see Pilate
He said "Are you the king of the Jews?"
Jesus said "Yes, what you said is true"
The leaders said "Mmm Hmm, told you, see"
And Pilate said "What this got to do with me? Man let him go"
And they all said "No, we want this man dead, for the things that he said"
He said "Listen, every year in the prison, I set one free, let this man be."
They said "No, well riot if you stop it, kill this man just give Barabas!"
He said "Fine, i wash my hands, its you not I that kills an innocent man!"
So cruel, they all said "cool, well live that, just kill this cat"
So Pilate had him whipped, 39 lashes with a lead tipped whip
And they beat him in the with a stick, and they kicked and they spit, and they said "Watch this!
All hail the king of the Jews!"
Gave him a thorned crown and threw him on the ground
They got bored of beating on the lord, and they said
"Lets do what we brought him here for"
They gave him a big cross, made him carry it, and beat him every time he would fall
The same people who screamed "Hosanna!"
Laughed, and they said "Don't help this man up, Let him stand up with no help, if he can save every body, let him save himself!"
He went to the top of the hill
And they laid on the cross and they knew it was real
They put his on the beams, and they put a nail through it
Imagine that scream
Nailed his feet
And put him in the sky
Took a step back so they could watch him die
They thought this was so cool
But he said "Father, forgive them as they know not what they do!"
He did the fathers business
Took a sip of the wine
And said it is finished
And that man was perfect
But you won't stand up during praise and worship
He took what you deserve
Won't you take five minutes to read his word
He came so the devil can't take ya
Put you hand up in the air and say thank ye!
Before you scream for a rapper and his crew, ask yourself, what have they done for you?
