Signed Up to Die
by Thi'sl

Album: Beautiful Monster

They pulled that boy up out the shed
Now he walkin down the road
Beatin gettin more intense every other step he go

They whipped 'im punched 'im kicked 'im slapped 'im
Ripped that boy up out his clothes
Couple punches to the face
Second one broke his nose

They laughin at him
They spittin at him
They kickin at him
Dog barkin at him

He thinkin to his-self
How could this happen

He black out for a minute
They throw water at him

A week ago he was sittin up playin with his kids
Wife and family all around
In the comfort of his crib

Birthday party
Passing gifts
Last thing that he remember
Packing for a mission trip

Now its about to go down
That's what he was thinkin
As he sit there knelt to the ground

His killa walked up on ?
And looked him in the eye
He said aren't you gonna beg
He said no

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die

When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die
Die, die, die
I signed up to die

She was only twelve
When she heard about the name of Christ
Saw the beauty of his love
Instantly it changed her life

Secret meetin's in the late night
Pulled her out the dark
Now she 'bout to go and be a light

She don't know nuthin 'bout no Bible teachers
Cuz where she from there aint no Bible theachin
Matter fact it is forbiden
But she done found a treasure that she couldn't keep hidden

Now she standin in a circle
A hundred people yellin out
Convert or we gone hurt you

I know she had to be scared
But she thought about that preacher
And the words that he said

He told 'em all about Steven
How he was 'bout to die
He looked up and saw Jesus
And her killa walked up on her
He looked her in the eye
He said are you gone convert
She said no

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die

When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die
Die, die, die
I signed up to die

He picked him family up
And he moved 'em to the inner city
Not to get a job but to go and be a missionary

His family told him
Boy you insane
You gone get yourself killed
Get a bullet to the brain

But he still went to do the work
He still went to plant a church
Cuz God gave him a vision
And he gone use that vision to help go rebuild the city

But now he starin down the barrel
They tossin up his office
Yellin and they cursin at him

You think that he would be scared
But he thought about the Bible
And the words Jesus said

And now he prayin for the killas
Like even if they kill me
Lord bring these boys to repentance
Then his killa walked up on him
He looked him in the eye
He said aren't you even scared
He said no

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die

When I lay down on that bed
I'm gone open up my eyes
And my Lord gone be there

I signed up to die

Death don't have a hold on me
So death don't put no fear in me
I don't think that you hearin me

I signed up to die
Die, die, die
I signed up to die
