A Letter to My Friends
by Timothy Brindle

Album: The Great Awakening


Verse 1
This is to all the (Deadly) Scribes
It's the least I could do I apologize
For leavin' the crew but the decision's been made
'Cause this kid has been saved
I was sick and afraid for wisdom I prayed (Job 28:28)
But I been healed by Christ
He revealed His Light so now I must rep' for Him, 'cause I feel it's right (Matt. 10:32-33)
I hope y'all don't think I turned my back on you
Understand it's the hardest thing I ever had to do
I laid in agony, prayed there had to be
Another way than to actually say, 'I have to leave'
It's been four years and sixty some shows
Spittin' fun flows and rippin' dumb foes
I spit-up in front rows, we was known for wildin' out
In ciphers or microphones
We was proud to shout of course we were souped
I knew we'd set trends 'cause we were more than a group, a crew of best friends...

Hook
...and that's the toughest part of leavin' yall
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Luke 14:26-27)
I know you think it's real weird that I changed
And it wasn't easy to leave, that's why there's tears on this page
A letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Luke 9:23-24)
I know you think it's real weird that I changed
and it wasn't easy to leave, that's why there's tears on this page

Verse 2
To all the bingers: I hope I didn't ruin our friendship
We used to get woozy and chew on a 10-strip
In a chokin' coma from the smoke aroma
Y'all used to blow a dust bowl like Oklahoma
Although I enjoyed the many wasted nights
They can't compare to the Grace of Christ (Psalm 63:3)
Now I praise Him cause He paid my price
I was living in darkness. Now everyday is bright! (John 8:12)
It was fun to flow and master verses
Now I'm saved, 6 months ago I was taggin' churches
Right when I'm leavin' the Parts of Speech
You're almost at the point we worked so hard to reach
I guess your just gonna have to rock with out me
Mic Language and Cience, you always got me rowdy
Dos Noun, I wrote my first rhyme with you, bro
You showed me how to spit punchlines at a show
Verbal Tec, you taught me how to spit viciously
I thank you for teaching me your sick delivery
But more importantly, you all were there for me
Always, I love for that 'cause it's a rarity.

Hook:
This is a letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall
But now I must say peace because Jesus called (Matt. 10:37-39)
There's nothing that I loved more than the crew
So if I left, it must have been important and true
A letter to my friends, I'm sorry for leavin' yall
But now I must say peace because Jesus called
There's nothing that I loved more than the crew
So if I left, it must have been important and true

Verse 3
written 403
They say, "Ambush left the crew to seek religion
He ceased from spittin'
I guess he's a Christian"
Nah I bounced cuz now I'm seen forgiven
And my deep conviction's to see others redeemed and risen
And I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes you wonder
How this guy turned into a Bible thumper
But I pray my salvation's a great example
Of how God can save a crazy raging vandal (Jer. 32:17)
And I'm sorry y'all that we hardly even talk
But I been called as a part of Jesus' flock (John 10:4)
It's not that I decided to change personally
It's Christ abiding inside who stays working in me (Philippians 2:13)
Ambush the Animated was crucified with Him (Gal. 2:20)
That man was amputated in Christ He died to sin (Rom. 6:6)
And I bet that no one would have ever guessed this
I didn't change for the better- I'VE BEEN RESURRECTED! (John 11:43-44)
And I know no one like to be told 'your flawed'
But someday we'll stand before a Holy God (Matt. 25:31-46)
(That's the truth) and I got to much love for you cats
Just sit back and with hold these wonderful facts
That, when Christ's slamming His rod (Psalm 2:9)
Wicked sinners like us can have a right-standing with God (justification; Romans 4:4-5) Which comes through repentance and faith (Rom.3:22)
That Jesus Christ died on your behalf and that your sentence is paid! (Rom. 3:25)
Yo, He can save ya! (Isaiah 59:1-3)
Your existence is incomplete until you know your Creator (John 17:3)
This world is vanity (Eccl. 1:14), it's passin' away (1 John 1:17)
You could be rappin' today and tomorrow smashed into clay (James 4:14)
Instead of seekin' pleasure in drugs and mics
Peep the treasure of the love Christ (Eph. 3:17-19)
Please surrender He'll fill your every desire (John 4:13)
Have peace forever come chill in heavenly attire...
