[Lyric] Farewell Philly Freestyle (Believin' Stephen)

Philly I'll miss you I really got tissues of crying / now this official, this is the end of my time / in the city of brotherly love, and all I wanna do is give all of my brothers a hug / Philly that city where I first started rapping / 2004, open mic, Sharon Baptist / before that never shared, I just practiced / crazy reaction, was aware of the clapping / I went to Antioch upstairs in the attic / pastor Aaron was declaring the chapters / so many rappers and we'd grub somewhere after / lots of jokes and plus various laughter / first Friday's Christ liberation / for Christian hip-hop the right situation / jams and the word were fire, incinerating / preaching the gospel no time to be wasting / mad concerts, favorite release parties / spitters got nasty on beats, but we speak godly / Philly that city where the buzz in the air, I'm loving it there, but so many suffer despair / swag just different kinda hard to explain / I guess we walk different cause we got through the pain, when caught in the rain, but my God He still reigns / I'm sad to go but God is causing this change / still coaching athletes working hard where we train / but now in Milwaukee I'll be watching the games / I'll miss you Philly this is awfully tough / but I couldn't turn down a gig with the Milwaukee Bucks / it's all God nah it's not probably luck / God directs my steps, He got all of my trust /

Never thought I would leave, it got em intrigued / but I got a job in the league, signed, dotted them t's / in God I believe, yeah He's still walking with me / salvation is a gift and I got it for free / on the cross He did bleed, Christ suffered misery, for our iniquity, after the ... epiphany / a lot of ministry witnessed on these Philly streets / leaving's bittersweet and so I gotta grit my teeth / I'm spitting on beats, producer's giving me heat / that's a figure of speech, Philly there's litter on streets / in CHH Philly was really paving the way / shout out to Cross Movement, they were aiming to save / and Lamp Mode was killing it, blazing the stage / talking bout anguish and pain, I made and stayed in my lane / so many dope rappers leave you straight up amazed / what happened CHH, was that stage just a phase? / I really hope not, can't be ashamed of the name / West Philly ain't safe but it's my favorite place / Philly that city where the slang is my fav / but young bulls be drawn in mad dangerous ways / soft pretzels and water ice, the taste that we crave / who got the best cheesesteaks, debating for days / I'm hating goodbyes because they making me cry / so many memories still replay on my mind / I got the tapes on rewind and God created these times / I hope I'll be back, at least I'm able to try / but how many bodies on the pavements will die / cause violence is hot, and stop taking these lives /
