What Is the Difference? (Intro)

I remember it like it was yesterday...
 I was a drug addicted youth, a marijuana dealer,
 A runaway, a rebel.
 It was the darkest time in my life.
 But I loved reggae
 And loved to sing songs about Jehovah (Jah)
 I was open to the Bible to an extent,
 But I just didn't vibe with church
 And I definitely didn't like Christians.
 They seemed so fake
 With their "happy-happy-joy-joy" songs and their plastic smiles.
 To be honest, I just didn't get it.
 Because I knew what was best for me
 Or at least I thought I did.
 Until I met this cool guy named Marcus
 He was so much like me
 And we connected as we shared stories about his drug past
 And my drug present
 But the more that I got to know him,
 The more I realized that
 Though we had so much in common in thepast,
 Our lives where headed in two entirely different directions.
 You see mine was a dead-end street,
 But his had a future and a hope...
 I just couldn't put my finger on it.
 So one day I asked him: "
 What's the difference between you and I?"
 I'll never forget his response...
 He said four simple words that would
 forever change the trajectory of my life.
 The love of God" he replied.
 He had found what I had been missing!
 He had received God's love, His grace, His forgiveness,
 And he was forever transformed by it.
 It's hard to explain but that simple answer
 Regarding the hope that he had within
 Literally sparked a revolution within me
 And just two weeks after truly surrendering my life to Christ,
 I started Christafari.
 And I'd never be the same again,
 Forever changed by the Love of Jah.
