Why I Rap

(Verse 1: Mitch Darrell)
College I would walk to class with headphones on and rap was playin
Beats by dre the studio editiongirlfriend let me claim em
Half the time I wouldn't pay attention in my courses
I was stressed and I was bored so very often i’d ignore

The teachers thinkin bout the next time I could go to a recordin session
Greg was on the boards he help me forge some projects taught me lеssons
Price could not afford it Dr. Easley helpеd me sort it out
He poured his heart and more I can't ignore it such a major blessin

Learned I had anxiety the only thing that kinda seemed
To make it any better was the rappin went to find a scene
Uh people who’d appreciate my God centric lyrics
Spittin bout the Holy spirit not so focused on appearance

I was Introduced to CHH by Surfer wolf and Geek n
I was shy and also meek They weren't too good to let me speak
To them I learned bout Christian rap and the community uh fans
The Blogs the artists so i planned to to make a name and build a brand

(Verse 2: Mitch Darrell)
Rappin should be fun we simply writin poems…
Tryna teach about the Lord to those who hardly know em
There's a need for plantin seeds I know I’ve got to sew em
I'm Prayin for the Lord to do the rest to help and grow em

Man If music wasn’t fun for me i woulda quit 2 years ago
Although I'm helpin others I can do that with my words and tho
The rappin just so happens to relate to other people
I make music for myself the raps might not do more than steeples

Not a preacher but a teacher of the word from time to time
Then on monday I’ll sit back n I’ll enjoy my line for line
If my music doesn't help to save a single soul it’s cool
Cuz I can dive into the word with you its deeper than a pool

Used to tell myself it didn't matter if a single person
Chose to listen to my music I would listen that was certain
Same as writin out a sermon just to preach it in the mirr-or
When I listen to the words it’s what I truly need to hear

I rap to lower my anxiety I rap to pass the time
Rap cuz music is a different way to share what's on my mind
Ima rapper cuz i'm passionate I dont need no applause
I frankly rap because I'm good at it a talent straight from God (uh)
