“Face of the Past” By Christ_Crusader (Intro – Boom Bap Beat, Vinyl Crackle, Spoken Word) Yeah… Christ_Crusade… Same streets, different mind. I used to know that face in the mirror… but I don’t see him no more. Let’s talk about it. (Verse 1 – Raw, Reflective, Heavy Flow) I was raised where the blocks don’t sleep, Where the pain runs deep and the lost souls weep. Where the pride too thick, ain’t nobody wanna speak, Had to learn the hard way, yeah, the fall came steep. I was movin’ too fast, no breaks, no peace, Heart full of rage, got my soul on lease. Chasin’ false hope, couldn’t find my way, ’Til the Lord stepped in, put His hand on my pain. Used to follow the crowd, now I walk with the few, Old self buried, yeah, that man been removed. They say I changed up? Yeah, that’s facts, Lookin’ in the mirror, I don’t see my past. (Chorus – Catchy, Hard-Hitting, Hypnotic Hook) I don’t see the face of the past no more, I don’t hear the voice that was knockin’ at my door. I been set free, I ain’t stuck like before, Had to let ‘em know, I don’t roll like before. I don’t see the face of the past no more, I don’t hear the voice that was knockin’ at my door. God pulled me out, now my soul been restored, Had to let ‘em know, I don’t roll like before. (Verse 2 – Gritty Storytelling, Deep Wordplay) I was lost in the dark, couldn’t see what was real, Tried to numb the pain, but it never could heal. Fake love, fake pride, fake dreams, fake wins, Didn’t know I was drownin’ in a world full of sins. But He called me by name, said, “Son, come home,” Didn’t need no chains, I was trapped in my own. Had to break that pride, had to bend that knee, Had to learn real strength ain’t what the world teach me. Now I walk in the light, see the lies fade fast, Took the mask off, left it all in the past. Now the old crew mad, say I lost my flame, Tell ‘em I ain’t burn out—I just switched my game. (Chorus – Repeat, Layered Vocals, Gritty Edge) I don’t see the face of the past no more, I don’t hear the voice that was knockin’ at my door. I been set free, I ain’t stuck like before, Had to let ‘em know, I don’t roll like before. I don’t see the face of the past no more, I don’t hear the voice that was knockin’ at my door. God pulled me out, now my soul been restored, Had to let ‘em know, I don’t roll like before. (Bridge – Slowed Beat, Dramatic Pause, Spoken Feel) Every scar got a story, every wound had a cost, I was playin’ with my life, didn’t know what I lost. Then He called me by name, said, “Son, come back,” Now the man in the mirror ain’t wearin’ all black. (Outro – Beat Fades, Echoes of Last Line) Yeah… I don’t see him no more… That face is gone… Christ_Crusade… Let’s talk about it.
