Street Sweepers, comprised of three ministers of the Gospel of Christ, G-Wade from Washington, DC, R-Swift and Ackdavis from Philly. Three ministers with three distinct styles of ministry. God has joined these brothers together for one purpose and that’s to preach the unadulterated Word of God to the lost souls of the world. After performing as solo artists up and down the east coast, the three felt that they could make a greater impact in ministry as a group. So after a lot of prayer and supplication and earnestly seeking God, they all felt that God had given them the green light and so the Street Sweepers were born. Street Sweepers released their debut CD entitled, “M:22” on I-66 Entertainment. “Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.” Matthew 22:9-10. This CD is guaranteed to spiritually clean up the streets by inviting all to come into the House of the Lord. The Street Sweepers were honored with the 2003 Holy Hip Hop Award at the 2003 Holy Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, GA and they were nominated as group of the year by What’s The Word Magazine. They have performed with such groups as, Cross Movement, Grits, Seventh Day Slumber, Corey Red & Precise and have performed with Christian organizations such as; Acquire The Fire, Holy Hip Hop (ATL), Rap Fest (NY), Flavor Fest (FL) and Hoop Heaven Basketball Camp (NY). Along with the completion of R-Swift’s solo project, Elevation 81.02, you can also find them working on other solo projects; G-Wade is working on his solo debut CD, “He’s Still #1,” Ackdavis’, “Food For Thought,” and new Gospel singer, Kadreana Mack’s, “Ain’t Nothin’ But A Thang.” They are truly a force to be reckoned with! From radio, magazine, to television appearances, God has truly anointed these ministers to go out and preach the Gospel. When they’re not out ministering or in the studio, you can find them spending time with family and friends - just being positive role models in their communities. Keep your eyes and your ears open for what God has in store for them.

Lyrics
Sorrow & Pain Chorus Through this world full of stress – the thunder and rain I try hard to maintain but the drama remains I feel trapped in this game so I call on your Name Jesus relieve me from the Sorrow and Pain Verse I As I look back over my life what do I find But a rugged road set to explode - like a land mind I seeks the comfort from the “L” plus I long affection But every move is like I’m steppin’ in the wrong direction And now I’m faced wit’ the dramas of tomorrow Which road do I follow - a bigger pill to swallow A hollow life is what I’m livin’ - shallow love I’m givin’ Stuff my pockets wit’ rocks I think I’ll go swimmin’ But fear of water got me petro on the low So I toss up the thought then I ease to the weed spot And now my moms is on my back - you just like your father Well pops was never here so I ain’t tryin’ to hear that Why don’t you practice what you preach I remember Uncle Stan - Uncle Frank and now this week you datin’ Uncle Pete I can’t take it shut your mouth before I break it It’s gettin’ iller better bounce before I kill her Lord can you save me from this mess in this world full of stress Wear a vest because of thoughts of killin’ myself And now it seems I got so much to lose and not enough to gain Thank God for the rain to camouflage the pain Verse II It's kind of stressing - just being a Christian adolescent Trying to keep my head stepping in the right direction I’m praying for the blessings - I'm trying to rise but yet I'm falling To the point where sometimes I even here the marijuana calling Telling me to come on but my spirit telling me to stay strong With all this going on in my head - it's like a constant war My spirit wants to please God but my flesh wants to please man The way things look right now it seems like flesh has the upper hand I walk this land just trying to understand Why is it that sin wraps around me like wrists and rubber bands I know that I'm a Christian but I'm thinking of other plans I'm getting stressed out - plus I don't have enough strength to stand It's like I'm in a situation - where it's lose or lose There's a million and one gods - I'm like who do I choose I'm so confused - it's like I'm about to blow a fuse I think Jesus is Lord but I don't really know the dude People always say that God is watching over you And I - but every time I cry He never shows and proves or maybe He's just slow to move Verse III Obstacles are accumulatin’ Blatant persecution hate producin’ – it’s like I’m in a room wit’ satan Faith is fading drastically Persuasion by demons from satan hypnotizing me – to fornicate passionately What happen to these feelings – who has the key to conceal them I know I’m allowed to like women but I don’t need to be sinnin’ Evils revealin’ throughout my fleshly attire I need the blood of the Messiah to kill these fleshly desires - plus I know that I’m a man of God for certain But I want to be more of a servant cuz’ my current job seems worthless Lord I’m hurtin’ and I hope you heard this - the matter is urgent Since your Word is sharper than two swords – you be the surgeon The doctor givin’ prescriptions in churches - the physician spirit that’s workin’ Through Biblical lyrics and verses Search this heart I come before you totally imperfect With insufficiency and sinfully I’m very nervous I rep’ you Lord – I need no entourage to claim Or to compromise the name of the One who’s Sovereign But this main fact I proclaim – and in my mind it will sustain I realize I need your love to camouflage the pain
