Ambassador Thug Joint Lyrics

Chorus: I used to be a thug but now I'm a believer ·
I used to be a thug I know how it feels ·
I used to be a thug but now a believer ·
No more thug and no more deals. · ·

Ok doc my occupation was thuggin' ·
The whole nine, I mean the robbin' the dealin' the muggin' ·
The Clubin' the premarital lovin' ·
The type to put one in the oven but I wasn't tryin' to be the husband ·
Sin was Lord and I always obeyed the Master ·
It told me "sell drugs" just to get the paper faster ·
Let me go to church but would let me imitate the pastor ·
It only let me imitate my favorite rapper ·
So the deal was I grew up doin' the ill stuff ·
Would fight the cops 'til they threw on the steal cuffs ·
Go in do my bid like the mack ·
When it was done say, "cool out kids---I'll be back." · But lately there's been some friction ·
I've been feeling sort of sick from this heart condition ·
It's an unusual affliction, when I do wrong that's when it kicks in ·
(From your description, you know it sounds like conviction) ·
I knew something was going wrong when I b__ped in ·
To a kid so soft I thought his name should be Pumpkin · Recognizing he was a weaker type of creature ·
I decided to take his beeper and his sneakers ·
You could tell for this kid a fight was a rare sport · Cause with ease I held him up like flights at an airport ·
He pleaded, "Don't take my beeper, I need it, ·
And, "...not my sneaks, let me keep my brand new Adidas · That's when signs of the sickness manifested ·
My mind said, "Be nice and do what the man suggested." ·
I broke down like a fraction, ·
Gave him back what I took away like subtraction ·
I'm puzzled and I'm struggling through this distraction ·
The reciprocal of my typical reaction---dag blast him! ·
I made tracks and then a flash back happened ·
That's when the rugged me kicked back in. . · ·

Repeat Chorus · ·

Now last week I was in my dad's black jeep ·
Rollin' mad deep with mad peeps smashed in the back seat ·
We took a back street, a Pontiac tried to pass me ·
I sped up and made him crash by the trash heap ·
The accident was nasty if you ask me ·
I would have laughed but then it happened again---the sickness harassed me ·
Oh no, not again. I had hurt a lot of men ·
But never felt bad before even when I shot a friend · For ease I thought I should step to the weed spot · Cause I was loosing my cool like melted freeze pops · My knees knocked as my conscience eaves dropped, found a weak spot ·
And said, "You sin too much, please stop!" ·
Peep the situation as it gets deeper ·
I started getting second thoughts about getting' the reefer ·
But what scared me was the internal reasoning ·
It was, God sees you man, and your not pleasing Him" · This was hard to swallow like food with out seasonin' · Me believe in Him, I rather not breath again ·
Before receivin' Him ·
You would see a turtle beat a rabbit and a cheetah in the 100m's friend ·
That's all that was the last straw I was ready to blast off ·
To a place I didn't have enough cash for ·
But with the swiftness, the sickness turned up the pitch ·
And with the quickness I felt it clutch me like a stick shift. . · ·

Repeat Chorus · ·

Yea you have no idea just how absurd it is ·
But check the word of this witness, now get this---I heard of this ·
Crew that could rip rhymes murderously, but I heard it would be ·
Christian, I thought absurd as can be ·
And churches to me can make the hard rocks feel nervous ·
But I went because I heard this would be an outdoor service ·
I got there and saw mad youth noddin' to mad truth · Rockin' mad hats and suits and not plaid suits ·
As truth crashed through my heart ached like a bad tooth ·
This hard rock got softer than brown spots on bad fruit ·
I came with a heart stone like a statue then the rap group ·
Got under my skin like a tattoo ·
The rapped about a man diein' and I was cryin' ·
They said He died so I could be saved like Private Ryan ·
We all could see zoomorphically He's a lion ·
Coming to rule from Zion with a scepter of iron · Trying to hold back tears that wanted to flow jack · Couldn't control that, it felt like my soul cracked · In half and Jesus started lookin' much bigger than drugs pullin' a trigger ·
And it was a first that I ever felt so cursed next to One so perfect ·
My soul thirsted to worship ·
Scufflin', tustlin', my feathers, He ruffled them ·
I tried to duck Him and tried to get back to my hustlin' ·
I must have been affected more than I could have imagined ·
Cause that's been all I can think about since it happened · · #
