Intro: It starts out small, playing on the block, Friends around with no heed to the clock. Choices made, unaware of fate, Not knowing how paths resonate. Verse1: Innocent thoughts quietly grow, Unseen forces urging you to go. They grind on you, pulling you away, The older you get, the further you stray. Days of light and simple plays, Shift to roads that darken your ways. Chorus: Ten years later, laughter with friends, Turns to a gang life that never ends. "Blood-In-Blood-Out," you often chant, With forces unseen standing hand in hand. In weakness, darkness takes control, Blinding truth and clouding the soul. As this darkness continues to eat me up, Jesus shows me a way to regain the chance to rise. Seek the truth, and open your eyes, for you 2 may have a second chance. Verse 2: In moments weak, when you're worn thin, They find a crack, and begin to seep in. Ego rises, truth is obscured, A chosen path and hope's deferred. A loveless place, darkness takes hold, No blood, means no life, just shadows that once were alive. In the darkness, fear takes its toll, Swallowing whole both your heart and soul. The light above dims and fades, Blotted out by eternal shades. Chorus: Chorus: Ten years later, laughter with friends, Turns to a gang life that never ends. "Blood-In-Blood-Out," you often chant, With forces unseen standing hand in hand. In weakness, darkness takes control, Blinding truth and clouding the soul.

Bridge: It's then you find your soul inside, A gift from God you cannot hide. Blind to truth in a world of lies, Tested by clouds that fill the skies. You think you know; you think you're wise, But yet again, darkness blinds and cloaks the skies. Outro: It shows no fear, alive and vast, Swallowing souls way too fast. It's in this pit and out of God's reach, you begin to realize, There’s a Spirit strong, hidden in guise. Whispers from God himself, rise from the fall, Seeking truth through it all. Those whispers spawned chance to rise once more, Seek the truth, unlock the door. A realization makes you whole-sets you apart from the fold. The God above still holds your soul, telling you through whispers it's your time to draw near, so do so now! Before it's to late and the chance God whispered to you, is gone because you were to afraid to show people who you were for.
