The Righteous Rebel
(Chorus)
I’m too nice on this mic to settle
I’ma elevate myself to new heights and levels
I’ma go against the grain, I’ma fight the devil
I’ma do the right thing, I’m The Righteous Rebel
(Verse 1)
And ya don’t stop grindin’ till you’re earning your own spot
I’m so fly, it’s the messenger of the most high
The flow’s hot, moving to maneuver through road blocks
To globe trot for show props, pot, and Patron shots
But I ain’t even here to target these girls
My present effort’s to leave a permanent mark on this world
Palm the Earth in my hand, give it a pray tan
Then decorate the city with graffiti from paint cans
No Ray Bans, just a rebel with a game plan
Fat caps in the waistband, rocking’ stained pants
Make plans for a purpose and safe stance
A faint chance, gotta place faith into fate’s hands
Takin’ the Soul Train, London to Moscow
Playin’ the whole game fuck runnin’ the clock out
Stayed in my own lane and journeyed a new path
Spittin’ that smooth rap, sick Suburbian boom bap
(Chorus x 2)
I’m too nice on this mic to settle
I’ma elevate myself to new heights and levels
I’ma go against the grain, I’ma fight the devil
I’ma do the right thing, I’m The Righteous Rebel
(Verse 2)
Speakin’ that straight funk to the beat and bass drum
And I don’t take drugs or taint reefer to lace blunts
I stray from junkies when repeated mistakes come
To heed the great tongues, it takes leaders to make one
I’m fresh, but I could care how I look less
The only way to pass me is to sprint through my footsteps
Unemployed, writing bars in my basement
But I ain’t callin’ an agent, I feel I already made it
I mean as far as a person, I mean as far as my purpose
Now I’m just waiting patiently for my good karma to surface
For the good of the people, not for bags and a needle
This is good vs. evil, this is wack vs. lethal
I need of some cheeba to breathe in sativa
Got the demeanor of a preacher as I’m reekin’ of reefer
But I still represent to benefit our community
And thankful for this Hippety Hip Hopportunity
(Chorus x 2)
I’m too nice on this mic to settle
I’ma elevate myself to new heights and levels
I’ma go against the grain, I’ma fight the devil
I’ma do the right thing, I’m The Righteous Rebel
(Verse 3)
And I got it locked, Slick Rick Lodi Da
Piff in the lollipop, Hip Hop body rock
Steady knockin’ the melody of the lifeless
Flick on the light switch, the rebellion of the righteous
And you could see how I was raised in High School
Embraced being strange just to break the cycle
Attack cassette tapes as I slayed the mic booth
And haven’t made it yet, but I’ve paid the price to
For mic checkers here’s a guide and a blueprint
To transform experience and knowledge to music
Receiving official admiration, so now I’ve made it
Not in need of traditional validation, but I’ll take it
Cause hey, heavy props for poems and mad writtens
And I never really stopped, but homie I’m back spittin’
Rhymes by the thousands I’m droppin’ these gems
In this nonstop continuous omni-event
What!

The Answer
(Verse 1)
I drop gems in the present till the flow is blessed
Got nothin’ planned so I don’t know where I’ll be going next
All I know is that I’m strollin’ with a holy step
And every mic I check I’m given love and shown respect
With no regret, give it back in twice the amount
Don’t hold your breath for too long cause you’re likely to drown
Control the set, feedin’ off of the hype of the crowd
The older I get I’m inclined to enlighten the sound
Made a change to take the faith passage
Through man to man, hand to hand, face transactions
Give God your trust and don’t flip flop
Man of the people, I’m 100% Hip Hop
Always exploring never caught up in the whirl
Ain’t conforming towards these normal new orders of the world
And still find that I’m designed to teach
You never know how many minds that your rhymes could reach
(Chorus)
So here I am, right where I’m supposed to be
Multi syllable flow with the poetry, you know it’s me
Overly evoking emotional feelings openly
To hopefully relate to people socially and vocally
Don’t live in fear from this propaganda
Religion causing division picking sides to stand for
Cause that ain’t the solution and I heard The Answer
It’s spread love, unification, and cure cancer
(Verse 2)
I rhyme well like a black hooded bomb shell
And rock a half crooked, flat footed size 12
Time tells cause homie mistakes happen
Worst case my words are perfectly placed passion
Which only happens from the holy divine
Involuntary, some would argue that I don’t even try
Cause when love is permanent it’s harder to spoil
Once we’re aware that we are the air and a part of the soil
So I hug my mother and tell her that I appreciate her
Shake my father’s hand and tell him that I’ll see ya later
Head out the house to get to work so I can knowledge stack
Then let my homies know I’m here and that I got there back
Give credit where the credit is due
Be honest and pay homage when someone is better than you
We’re supposed to grown and build frequent
Kids I’ve had past beef with I squashed and still speak with
(Chorus)
So here we are, right where we’re supposed to be
Multi syllable flow with the poetry, you know it’s me
Overly evoking emotional feelings openly
To hopefully relate to people socially and vocally
Don’t live in fear from this propaganda
Religion causing division picking sides to stand for
Cause that ain’t the solution and I heard The Answer
It’s spread love, unification, and cure cancer
(Verse 3)
Petty crimes only equated to deadly rhymes
Empty palms led to unity and friendly bonds
Heavy mental minds, always on a steady rise
I survived many lives, could’ve died plenty times
But gotta pause for my choices and disruptive flaws
From dusk till dawn the world rejoices as justice mourns
We’re just the pawns as the demons start deceiving you
Blurring that line between what frees you and what freezes you
Psychologically you gotta have a healthy body
A sense of safe security without help from your mommy
Belongingness to ones family and community
Emotional well being through love and loyal unity
Self esteem is acquired through success
Self actualization is transpired through respect
Self transcendence is measuring a human’s worth
And proper perspective of one’s position in this Universe
(Chorus)
So here we are, right where we’re supposed to be
Multi syllable flow with the poetry, you know it’s me
Overly evoking emotional feelings openly
To hopefully relate to people socially and vocally
Don’t live in fear from this propaganda
Religion causing division picking sides to stand for
Cause that ain’t the solution and I heard The Answer
It’s spread love, unification, and cure cancer

The Power Of Now

The Power of Now
(Verse 1)
Yo I’ma head case and I don’t know what to do
But I no longer place belief in what I know to be true
Regardless if I’m sober, drinking, or I’m puffin’ on trees
My analytical overthinking’s become a disease
Time put to work pretends to be productive
Our minds are superb but tend to be destructive
Learn from your energy the source and the cause
Because personal identity through thoughts is false
The evidence is in the blessings of caught dreams
The presence of emptiness is the essence of all things
But selflessness can be the savior to your health
Once your mind is taught to serve a purpose greater than itself
But first you may have to wait on your purpose
To cure yourself of emotions that only equate to disturbance
Showered with acceptance, we encounter many blessings
Every hour, every second, that’s the power of the present
(Chorus)
I’ma do as a desire, to thine self be true
You gotta utilize your mind, don’t let your mind use you
You are your worst enemy with Lucifer’s help
Don’t let your own thoughts come between you and yourself
I think therefore I am, you think therefore you are
We drink from off the land as we wish upon the stars
Living for the moment to devour the sound
Forget the future and the past, it’s The Power of Now
(Verse 2)
You’ll never have to fake a smile, never need to pretend
Once you discover your life’s purpose is deep from within
Happiness and optimism can be easy to blend
Once you stop viewing the present as a means to an end
View the future through the files of an Apocalyptic crash
See the now through your inner child’s eyes of the past
Felt the dividing and excitement when love’s lost
But true enlightenment is found from rising above thoughts
Grateful moments take your breath away and silence you
As break throughs often come in times of mental quietude
A spoken breeze of intuition from overseas
A soul at ease is quick to listen and slow to speak
Modern employees have been rumored as incomplacent
Living for past memories and future anticipations
No realization of the unmanifested
Or the infinity and eternity of the present
(Chorus)
So I’ma do as a desire, to thine self be true
You gotta utilize your mind, don’t let your mind use you
You are your worst enemy with Lucifer’s help
Don’t let your own thoughts come between you and yourself
I think therefore I am, you think therefore you are
We drink from off the land as we wish upon the stars
Living for the moment to devour the sound
Forget the future and the past, it’s The Power of Now
(Verse 3)
Now you could probably claim a girl and lace her necklace with gold
And you could probably gain the world at the expense of your soul
It’s like what happens when citizens win the lottery
Get left with fake friends, outer riches, and inner poverty
For one to learn one must discern between the false dreams
And come to terms with the impermanence of all things
So it’s irrelevant if I fail at my outer workings
As long as I fulfill the calling of my inner purpose
Cause living through your past hindsight memories
Reduces the infinite to a finite entity
The only thing you’re here to feel is the present
So keep that in perspective because nothing real can be threatened
Nah, excitement is confusion without the freight of it
Dark to light, there’s no illusion without enlightenment
Live as if your chest couldn’t catch these breaths
Cause if you die before you die then there is no death
(Chorus)
So I’ma do as a desire, to thine self be true
You gotta utilize your mind, don’t let your mind use you
You are your worst enemy with Lucifer’s help
Don’t let your own thoughts come between you and yourself
I think therefore I am, you think therefore you are
We drink from off the land as we wish upon the stars
Living for the moment to devour the sound
Forget the future and the past, it’s The Power of Now

Did It Too

Did It Too
(Verse 1)
Now first off I’ve never identified as a Christian
I belong to an underground undivided religion
Called Hip Hopism, where rappers rhyme to the rhythm
And I’m a human so why should my God be any different
But I’m aware that our minds were designed as a prism
Or a prison and everybody’s inside of the system
Nothing’s private, no one’s hidden, you’re just hiding within it
Contradicted and conflicted by the lies of tradition
Water runs deep even when the tide isn’t risen
Living in this nation’s States of United Division
History’s been repeated now it’s time for revision
And that may mean crossing over any line that’s forbidden
Cause the truth ain’t seen through your eyes and your vision
Which normalizes villains and desensitizes the victims
Cause some don’t even realize that they’re sinnin’
I’m just prayin’ and wishin’ hoping somebody’ll listen
(Chorus)
Cause we all have a past that we’ve hid and choose
To not speak about unless we’re feeling in the mood
During the act in the moment it’s minuscule
It’s after the fact when you’re alone that it hits you
Cause we all have a past in the physical
Full of regrettable actions we wish we didn’t do
Confess your sins or your conscious’ll get at you
Shit is true, only say it cause I Did It Too
(Verse 2)
My thoughts don’t always match the way that I act
So what I say on tracks seems to be my way of attack
To lighten the lyrical load of this weight on my back
I love myself but I don’t always like the way I react
Cause we all intend well till the snakehead appears
Things change when you’re alone and the temptation is there
But it’s your own fear that’s been making you scared
Everybody meets their demise and for that day I’m prepared
Cause truth changes when the answers are near
Subject matter switches to a normal standard of fear
Gotta ask the right questions till the answers appear
And critique the imperfections of the man in the mirror
Gotta aware of danger and make sure you know the ledge
Always find the edge so you’re careful you don’t overstep
Karma’s real and can’t be mended over broken bread
Cause secrets spread until everyone who knows is dead
(Chorus)
Cause we all have a past that we’ve hid and choose
To not speak about unless we’re feeling in the mood
During the act in the moment it’s minuscule
It’s after the fact when you’re alone that it hits you
Cause we all have a past in the physical
Full of regrettable actions we wish we didn’t do
Confess your sins or your conscious’ll get at you
Shit is true, only say it cause I Did It Too
(Verse 3)
We’re all vengeful and do things despite people
Humans are all capable of being quite evil
Disconnected from the light of our Christ’s steeple
Pointing fingers at others until our rights equal
Swerving through roads I’m uncertain to roam
Discern your goals and wants as you learn from your woes
Temporarily getting high, from permanent lows
Gotta live with your flaws when the curtains are closed
Bad habits we embrace that we shouldn’t obey
Until it’s too late and past mistakes are put on display
Every dog has it’s day whether you’re anti drama
Or a fight starter because money can’t buy karma
So you can see my reputation is hopeless
And tell that I was in a dark place when I wrote this
Paying in pain as the price and the final cost
But it’s verses like this that silence suicidal thoughts
(Chorus)
Cause we all have a past that we’ve hid and choose
To not speak about unless we’re feeling in the mood
During the act in the moment it’s minuscule
It’s after the fact when you’re alone that it hits you
Cause we all have a past in the physical
Full of regrettable actions we wish we didn’t do
Confess your sins or your conscious’ll get at you
Shit is true, only say it cause I Did It Too

Devils
(Verse 1)
Yo honestly I ain’t been feelin’ myself
Cuttin’ corners, robbin’ others for material wealth
Goin’ crazy, actin’ shady, no more feelings are felt
To put it plainly, frankly lately I’ve been killin’ myself
I’ve been suicidal living do or die to bruise a rival
Crucify you with a two inch tribal tooth inside you
Decisions, revisions, when I’m switchin’ my views and idols
Religious conflictions when I’m picking to choose a Bible
Look who’s inside you, stick to that and you’ll never plummet
From self destruction to going against your better judgement
The devil’s coming, scheming, cunning and never sleeping
And always searching for a spirit to forever weaken
The devil’s creeping, freezing I see him shivering
Deceiving human beings with demons I hear him slithering
My drug habits have a past that exist
But fuck that shit cause I was raised better than this
(Chorus)
Cause many men have died all over false pried
The devil gains strength at the expense of our lost lives
The devils are amongst us at all times
Because we made them up in our minds
But God’s light is always there to protect you
Overcome doubts or your fears’ll neglect you
The devil takes your soul cause it’s easy to get to
But the only way you can defeat me’s if I let you
(Verse 2)
I said Father forgive cause I’m about to sin
Confront the devil like a rebel as I rocked his chin
Then threw a fist of righteousness to strike his cocky grin
You may have fooled me in the past but nah not again
I’ll grab the devil, rip the horns from his head
Use them in defense and stab him like a sword through the chest
So for now he’s gone, but I know he’ll be back
And if I’m trapped into a corner I’ll be forced to react
Hockey puck slap shot to the face
Cocky fuck look whose got the padlock to the safe
With a fast impatient attitude I’ll slap the satan out of you
Advocating children not to graduate from grammar school
Living Godless, misguided and mindless
Nonviolent nonbelievers I’ma kill em with kindness
Repent and listen from this next tradition
As I check the rhythm by blessing the devil with an exorcism
(Chorus)
Cause many men have died all over false pried
The devil gains strength at the expense of our lost lives
The devils are amongst us at all times
Because we made them up in our minds
But God’s light is always there to protect you
Overcome doubts or your fears’ll neglect you
The devil takes your soul cause it’s easy to get to
But the only way you can defeat me’s if I let you
(Verse 3)
Fool me once I’ll remain low-key
Fool me twice place the shame and the blame on me
Fool me three or four times that’s just plain old weak
That’s like falling for these politicians same old speech
Cause the devil doesn’t always come with horns and stick
He comes in the form of a prince or a sorcerous witch
Straight savages, animals attacking the passionless
Masochists thriving off of others lack of happiness
Hating and anticipating your loss
Saying you’re never good enough manipulating your thoughts
Cause the devil always wants money and more sluts
Bribing you with drugs always offering shortcuts
The same old persistent bent language
Learn to say no resist the temptation
The devil’s slick so humans could never tell
Her greatest trick is convincing you to do it to yourself
(Chorus)
Cause many men have died all over false pried
The devil gains strength at the expense of our lost lives
The devils are amongst us at all times
Because we made them up in our minds
But God’s light is always there to protect you
Overcome doubts or your fears’ll neglect you
The devil takes your soul cause it’s easy to get to
But the only way you can defeat me’s if I let you

One Step

One Step
(Verse 1)
I’ve spent most of my life trying to force things
Giving max effort, isolating to support dreams
Unaware of this World’s infinite offerings
Or the synchronicity existing between all beings
Ran away from the light to write and record schema
Separated from potential kings and ignored queens
Closed doors that could’ve opened to more themes
A forced entry never justifies the wrong means
A wordsmith, unsigned and deemed worthless
Delusionally chasing these dreams between work shifts
That’s my right and my decision to choose
Can’t win until you’re put in a position to lose
Risk getting the bruise, in the end you won’t regret it
Cause you’ve made the incentive to go out of your to get it
Just give power to your thoughts till you’re comfortable
Put it out into the Universe and let it come to you
(Chorus)
I’m kinda stressed and I gotta confess
I got a lot on my chest and I’m kind of depressed
But I’ma keep going cause I know that I’m blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest
Just do it one at a time, right over the left
Enjoy the journey, take steps without knowing the next
You gotta keep going cause you know that you’re blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest
(Verse 2)
The law of attraction extends from the mind
To influence reality till it’s embedded in mine
Picturing myself writing while perfecting a line
Living life like I rhyme One Step at a time
Mental indiscretion, considerate persuasion
Intentional intention, deliberate creation
Wanna believe before I’m placed in the dirt
Dreams are for sleepers, visions are for those awake and alert
Cause once you’re aware then you’re never the same
Humans are smarter than anyone could ever explain
Meaning we’re limitless once we learn to recover from falls
Even with our inner flaws, shortcomings, and all
Because hope lies in the skies of our broken lives
Still spine, closed eyes, and an open mind
We all shine cause we’re one with the stars
You ain’t gotta try hard to be who you already are
(Chorus)
I’m kinda stressed and I gotta confess
I got a lot on my chest and I’m kind of depressed
But I’ma keep going cause I know that I’m blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest
Just do it one at a time, right over the left
Enjoy the journey, take steps without knowing the next
You gotta keep going cause you know that you’re blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest
(Verse 3)
From where I stand I am one with the Gods
Here I am as a man I’ve got nothing to hide
One blessing, one visit, one check of the rhyme
One second, one minute, One Step at a time
Endless miracles exist within nature
So we should all live life like it’s rigged in our favor
Letting go as we learn to allow
Be more concerned with the now, less concerned with the how
Because I’ve come back to finish what I’ve started
To continue the path of the past risen and departed
Souls released through the holes in the clouds
To transcend into the next dimension holding it down
So you’re never alone when you’re under the skies
And you can feel your divine God touching your spine
You’re eternal like time, you’re the sun when it shines
You have a beautiful mind, you are one of kind
(Chorus)
I’m kinda stressed and I gotta confess
I got a lot on my chest and I’m kind of depressed
But I’ma keep going cause I know that I’m blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest
Just do it one at a time, right over the left
Enjoy the journey, take steps without knowing the next
You gotta keep going cause you know that you’re blessed
Just gotta take that first step and let God do the rest

Rebellution
(Verse 1)
When I spit be prepared to have your mind shook
Walking over water bearing nothing but a rhyme book
Looking back to all the sacrifice and time took
But was never spiritual till I took a divine look
Embrace life to unbottle your nerves
Stay hungry while being able to swallow your thirst
Reciprocate faith and your God’ll converse
Learn from others cause the best leaders were followers first
So I’ll be conscious of my words towards every person and race
Forgive each others prejudices and learn from mistakes
I’m the last one asleep, but the first one awake
Birds chirping away to write my first of the day
To capture the present’s emotions in the physical now
Narrating with nothing but an original style
Take a risk, no regrets till you’ve caught your breath
In a world where natural causes is the last cause of death
(Chorus)
We’re all human going through a natural evolution
Of karmic restitution reaching towards a resolution
Shedding light upon what’s right for the less illusioned
Away with the ways of discriminating suppressed seclusion
It’s hard to feel good when you know the rest are losing
Provide hope for the broken hearted, stressed, and wounded
Give it my all cause I really just feel blessed to do it
Puff, puff, passing peace pipes for the Rebellution
(Verse 2)
It takes time you ain’t healing it that fast
But with the right intention you’ll be stealing the last laugh
Ain’t tryna profit to the ceiling with stacked cash
I’ve chosen prophecy so now I’m feeling the backlash
But won’t conform to our societal norms
Even in the eye of the storm I’ma try to be calm
Cause in my mind’s Vietnam causing bodily harm
Lie and respond, hide that we’re wrong, and the riots’ll form
To certain extent we all suffer the same
Feel from where we’re standing that there’s really nothing to gain
But you have a choice, you either sink or swum
Depending on if you’re forgiven for the things you’ve done
Cause you can do more than you think that you can
But only if you’re willing to shine when given the chance
Your worst days are behind you if you wish
Cause keep in mind failure is never final till you quit
(Chorus)
We’re all human going through a natural evolution
Of karmic restitution reaching towards a resolution
Shedding light upon what’s right for the less illusioned
Away with the ways of discriminating suppressed seclusion
It’s hard to feel good when you know the rest are losing
Provide hope for the broken hearted, stressed, and wounded
Give it my all cause I really just feel blessed to do it
Puff, puff, passing peace pipes for the Rebellution
(Verse 3)
The street steeple, the holy divine Nazareth
Decrease evil and border designed barriers
This beat speaks to the flowers and rhyme advocates
I need to reach people in order to find happiness
Fans thumping to the taste of my tunes
Could always spit but think in many different ways I’ve improved
Know where I’m going just don’t know the road I’m taking it too
So to all my future fans my motivation is you
Because I’m all alone dead broke in this rap shit
And less popular amongst my own demographic
Outcasted, but overseas I’m a gold mine
Lately been feeling like an enemy of my own kind
Ain’t got a lot but I’m an offering giver
This is where our obligations and priorities differ
Extend hands towards all of the Earth’s brothers
The greatest man in the room is there just to serve others
(Chorus)
We’re all human going through a natural evolution
Of karmic restitution reaching towards a resolution
Shedding light upon what’s right for the less illusioned
Away with the ways of discriminating suppressed seclusion
It’s hard to feel good when you know the rest are losing
Provide hope for the broken hearted, stressed, and wounded
Give it my all cause I really just feel blessed to do it
Puff, puff, passing peace pipes for the Rebellution

My God Iz A Gangsta

My God Iz A Gangsta
(Verse 1)
Yo it’s a damn shame that we take without gratitude
A man’s strength is determinate by his attitude
Willingness to adapt and learn of other attributes
Till consciousness progresses to an Earth defying latitude
Embrace yourselves cause see this was my calling
I’m raising the roof while others live like the sky’s falling
Self-create whether you paint or jot stories
Have faith, make mistakes, and be saved by God’s glory
Be yourself and stop conforming to society
Cause nowadays the most rebellious act would be sobriety
So that’s what I’ma be it’s Profit vs. Prophecy
The only nonbeliever who could ever make me stop is me
But ignorance could make a long plan brief
Like a lack of discipline could make a strong man weak
So take heed to the strategy of a rebel
To counteract the aggression and agony of the devil
Let’s Go!
(Chorus)
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
All praise to the Lord I’ma thank ya
Loose baggy jeans saggin’ on my waist, ugh
Hip Hop drums go and blaring out the bass, what!
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
Everyday to the Lord I’ma thank ya
So maybe at times I’m harder to relate ta
But we’re the same and our God Iz A Gangsta
(Verse 2)
My spiritual life ain’t a bit normal
Puff blunts and jot songs, I got something to spit for you
Cut communication with satan, he’s immoral
And honestly with God our relationship’s informal
Felt a strong urge just to jot these songs words
Not only to calm nerves or to burn these jars herbs
But for my Grandma’s church and everyone on Earth
At times it’s hard work always putting God first
A verse of mine is like a page in the Torah
Only if you’re willing to catch my vibrational aura
Or the mentality of survival to keep going
Light a bong to the Quran and read the Bible with beats on
Then run it back, resonate to the bap
Before I write a rap I sit and meditate to the track
Rhymin’ for the cause to fulfill every man’s shoes
It’s bigger than us all so I literally can’t lose
(Chorus)
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
All praise to the Lord I’ma thank ya
Loose baggy jeans saggin’ on my waist, ugh
Hip Hop drums go and blaring out the bass, what!
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
Everyday to the Lord I’ma thank ya
So maybe at times I’m harder to relate ta
But we’re the same and our God Iz A Gangsta
(Verse 3)
Now before I get specific I just gotta say cause
Everybody’s got their own definition of a Gangsta
Burglar or a pranksta, murderer or raper
Hustler exchanger, gun inside the waist but
He speaks with thieves and the fiends in illegal spots
Preaching peace and love and plus he’s God so he don’t need a glock
Truth changes but universal facts are timeless
Courteous homicide committing random acts of kindness
Providing shelter and a dinner for dope fiends
Warming up the buildings in the winter with no heat
Charitable steez while fulfilling the hood’s needs
Resorting to extorting past sinners for good deeds
Well recited on the dark and how to fight it
The devil’s enlightened so he knows how to keep you frightened
I’ll leave him slighted, defeated with one riddle
Throw on a beat and I’ll bring peace to the uncivil
Let’s Go!
(Chorus)
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
All praise to the Lord I’ma thank ya
Loose baggy jeans saggin’ on my waist, ugh
Hip Hop drums go and blaring out the bass, what!
Ugh Ugh My God Iz A Gangsta
Everyday to the Lord I’ma thank ya
So maybe at times I’m harder to relate ta
But we’re the same and our God Iz A Gangsta
(Tupac x3)
But am I less holy?
Cause I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies?
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace within the war in the streets

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in this rap game
On Earth as it is in Heaven we’re blessed
Give us endless butter on this day for our daily bread
Forgive us for our trespasses we’re senseless
As we forgive those who trespassed against us
And lead us not into temptation as people
Accept us for who we are and deliver us from evil
Lord forgive our lust and entitlement
Let us learn to live and trust in enlightenment
Collective consciousness through love preferred disciplines
Gratefulness and thankfulness for undeserved privileges
(Chorus)
You are brilliant, you are beautiful, you are blessed
Life is infinite God is using you for your quest
The devil’s not a threat if you’ve got God on your team
It’s like the ’86 Mets “You just gotta believe!”
We all pray for our story to remain
The reason we came was to bring glory to your name
Raise the gates have patience and wait longer
Make your faith stronger daily and Pray Harder
(Verse 2)
Forever indebted to the abundance of your blessings
You’ve touched us through your essence as we’re humbled by your presence
Rest in power Pac, your prophecy rocks on
All praise to the most high, Allahu Akbar
So have patience with the life you embrace
Before God’s deliverance there is a crisis of faith
As humans most of us are after results
And have a tendency to doubt the things that matter the most
Cause when the pressure’s on it’s easy to slip
Your enemy will always have a million reasons to quit
When hope seems to subside know that your growth’s spiritual
The most meaningful times follow the most difficult
(Chorus)
You are brilliant, you are beautiful, you are blessed
Life is infinite God is using you for your quest
The devil’s not a threat if you’ve got God on your team
It’s like the ’86 Mets “You just gotta believe!”
We all pray for our story to remain
The reason we came was to bring glory to your name
Raise the gates have patience and wait longer
Make your faith stronger daily and Pray Harder
(Verse 3)
Cause in the end all you got is your fam
See failure is an event, but it is not who I am
Nothing, nathan, nada’s what complaining is worth
Until you put all of those years of hard training to work
Praise to Allah’s Universe and the Sun
You can’t save them all but saving one’s better than none
Through God’s glory I’ve chosen to be an MC
If God is for me then who can be against me?
Follow the greatness he’s paved for you through humility
And trust when you’re put in positions of impossibility
To live to tell what taking a leap of faith is
Embrace where you’re placed and you can achieve greatness
Give thanks to the majesty and your highness
And come and witness spirituality at it’s finest
From Islamics, Buddhists, Hindus, and Bosnian Gnostics
To Mormons, Masons, Catholics, to Calvinistic Methodists
From Judaism to new religions as times adjust
To superstitions and new predictions in God we trust
Overmatching as the Father of the populous
Astronomers and astrologists follow us through consciousness
To rock the bells with every song that is written
To carry on tradition yet I don’t belong to religion
Listen, peace to every human being on the almanac
Allah, God, Krishna, Christ Consciousness I’m all of that
(Chorus)
You are brilliant, you are beautiful, you are blessed
Life is infinite God is using you for your quest
The devil’s not a threat if you’ve got God on your team
It’s like the ’86 Mets “You just gotta believe!”
We all pray for our story to remain
The reason we came was to bring glory to your name
Raise the gates have patience and wait longer
Make your faith stronger daily and Pray Harder

The Other Side
(Verse 1)
Now I could imagine what’s on The Other Side
A place where dollars and taxes don’t run each others lives
A place where passion’s are practiced under the summer skies
Women singing lullabies, children chasing butterflies
But life’s hard as we often complain
Walking home the wrong way, lost caught in the rain
But we thrive from our pain, struggles, flaws, and fuckups
There’s Gods amongst us as outlaws of justice
I quit the battle raps, spittin’ with substance
With a sick squad of cats always sippin’ and puffin’
Flipped the script on these tracks always thinkin’ of something
I know that greatness lives on the brink of destruction
I’m sinking I’m stalling, I’m breaking, I’m falling
Fingernails sliced dirty, climbing, scraping, and crawling
When I’m away from my calling then my spirit is off duty
No feeling is forced by sincerely yours truly
(Chorus x2)
Lately I’ve been thinkin’ bout the World that we live in
Or should I say, the World that we sin in
How is hate driven into men and women?
Will it be too late by the time the human race is risen?
(Zoo’s Verse)
Interweave yourself into the fabric of the Universe
Cause the final souvenir as a human is a hers
I don’t waste my breath, I steadily converse
Shove my mind into my pen which then creates a verse
It comes natural cause my message is meant to be dispersed
Spiritual guidance similar to Sermans in a church
Skip along the fine line of failure and success
At the end of our lives we’ll see who leaves behind less
I was put on Earth to deliver undivided symmetry
My mind doesn’t mind if the simple minded are into me
Box yourself into the confines of your cubical
Stressed, anxious, depressed, here’s your pharmaceutical
Assume the position of another fallen soldier
Whose only life task was to do what they told ya
Inspire yourself and pass the message along
Hopefully I accomplish that by the end of this song
(Chorus x2)
Lately I’ve been thinkin’ bout the World that we live in
Or should I say, the World that we sin in
How is hate driven into men and women?
Will it be too late by the time the human race is risen?

You Never Know
(Verse 1)
Man I’ve been writing rhymes with words on these pages
Introverted spittin’ verses at the expense of relations
All of my life I’ve been labeled crazy and unrealistic
Unpractical cause I don’t plan on being run by the system
So I’m pursuing this music every chance I wrote
But need a woman in my life, who says I can’t have both
I wanna keep spittin’ but I gotta make room for women
Cause I wanna find fulfillment girl and you’re included in it
To me it’s more than sticking dick in vaginas
I wanna hold your hand, see the stars, and be still in your silence
And there’s no need for weed because your touch is a better buzz
You’re like a drug, the only women I’ve ever loved
I’m instinctively into you I can’t help it
You saw something special in me when nobody else did
And I see the same in you so I give props
You showed me how to live girl I love you like Hip Hop
(Chorus)
Cause I’m a dreamer in general so you never know
I’m a believer, an achiever, chasing hefty goals
A hopeless romantic so I just wanna let you know
That I care about you too much to ever let you go
All I’ll ever need from this life to the next
Is a mic, a writing desk, and a place to lay my head to rest
Other than that the only thing I could ask
Is a mutual relationship with the woman who loved me back
(Verse 2)
When you left I couldn’t believe it was true
But I’m aware that I wasn’t ready and neither were you
Heart is broken and if not then there’s been pieces removed
So hopefully at least we can look back and see that we’ve grew
It’s destiny but we’re convinced that there’s no such thing
The only alternative to forgiveness is suffering
I’m tempted to reach out but why should I try
To hug and say our final goodbyes, I’m dying inside
Cause you loved me at my lowest, which tugged at my emotions
Then you left me at your lowest which no one had the control of
Which brought me to my new lowest when we went on our separate paths
Back to writing raps, tryna earn our life’s potential back
Dismissing emotions, ignored how I felt
Denying that I’m crying cause I love you more than myself
I know it’s painful but I’m tryna explain to you
Everyday girl I pray for you, know that I would wait for you
(Chorus)
Cause I’m a dreamer in general so you never know
I’m a believer, an achiever, chasing hefty goals
A hopeless romantic so I just wanna let you know
That I care about you too much to ever let you go
All I’ll ever need from this life to the next
Is a mic, a writing desk, and a place to lay my head to rest
Other than that the only thing I could ask
Is a mutual relationship with the woman who loved me back
(Verse 3)
I offer you this instrumental and verse
As a testament that we’ve already been through the worst
Cause I realize you don’t hold the lowest standards for me
But you should know that I’m growing to be the man that you need
Cause it’s hard to let go when you know that she’s hurtin’
And it’s hard to wait when you know that she’s worth it
And I ain’t perfect, believe me I know I’m far from it
But I can feel a spark from it girl my heart’s hummin’
Yet I’m ashamed of what I’ve spoke and I’ve said
I hate how I behaved and that’s something I’ll always regret
But there’s much more to me than that, I was in love and upset
Don’t let those moments define me girl, don’t give up on me yet
Take my hand in this dance, let me love and romance you
Sayin’ I don’t understand you, just give me a chance to
And trust me I’m not tryna rush back into everything
But think if we could conquer this, then we could conquer anything
(Chorus)
Cause I’m a dreamer in general so you never know
I’m a believer, an achiever, chasing hefty goals
A hopeless romantic so I just wanna let you know
That I care about you too much to ever let you go
All I’ll ever need from this life to the next
Is a mic, a writing desk, and a place to lay my head to rest
Other than that the only thing I could ask
Is a mutual relationship with the woman who loved me back

Be My Woman
(Verse 1)
Hey lady I don’t mean to be so desperate
But I’ve got no other choice soon I’m headed towards the exit
My only other option would to be forget it
So if this is where we stand then I don’t think that I’ll regret it
It’s probably obvious the reason that I wrote
I’m delusionally broken and in need of someone’s hope
I know that it’s been over several months since we have spoke
But you telling me that I don’t love you doesn’t mean I don’t
I fell in love with you and thought you were the one for me
Then watched the bond that we created crumble up from underneath
And I ain’t lookin’ back, I’m focused on in front of me
So you don’t ever have to be alone if you don’t wanna be
I see your beauty as a lonesome observation
Distracting me so much that I can’t hold a conversation
At this stage I’m out of hope and out of patience
Your presence makes me shake and I don’t know if I can take it
(Chorus)
I’ve never been in love so maybe I’m mistaken
But I know it’s not just lust cause I ain’t picturing you naked
My heart is aching, I don’t think that I can take it
And I know this feeling’s real cause I don’t think that I could fake this
This is a cry for help for what it really means
Cause we haven’t met in months but I still see you in my dreams
And I promise that I could make it alright
If you could just be my lady tonight
(Verse 2)
I have this endless list of reasons that I’m into you
Your introspective intellect, angelical and mystical
Always here to talk or if you need someone to listen to
I feel for your internal through your spiritual and physical
Yet I’m ashamed because I know my ways have troubled you
My lack of patience, aggravated statements have disgusted you
But that’s only because I couldn’t get enough of you
So what would make you think that I’m incapable of loving you?
I love your simpleness, but also know you’re limitless
I saw a glimpse of your magic with no one there to witness it
I love your timeless wisdom and I love your innocence
We’re both similar but most of all I love our differences
I love her wittiness and introverted sense of humor
I feel lucky to have met her and even blessed to lose her
I wish I didn’t care but can’t deny I’m human first
If I can’t be with you then I’ll set fire to this Universe
(Chorus)
I’ve never been in love so maybe I’m mistaken
But I know it’s not just lust cause I ain’t picturing you naked
My heart is aching, I don’t think that I can take it
And I know this feeling’s real cause I don’t think that I could fake this
This is a cry for help for what it really means
Cause we haven’t met in months but I still see you in my dreams
And I promise that I could make it alright
If you could just be my lady tonight
(Verse 3)
I have this deep internal sadness that’s inside of me
Which triggers my anxiety and fucks with my sobriety
I need your help cause you’ve been stuck on my mind now
Got me crying my eyes out writing this rhyme down
I feel alone without your guidance I’m helpless
I hate who I’m becoming and I’m making myself sick
Which got me thinking that I know I’ve been forgiven
But if I can’t hold your hand then what’s the point of even livin’?
It makes me feel so vacant now that I’m alone again
Which makes me think you’re the only one who can make me whole again
Miscommunication repeatedly defeated me
If only you would’ve just had the decency to speak with me
We both cry alone so why don’t we just cry together?
Lay your head upon my chest and we can fly forever
My family’s worried and they think I need a therapist
But all of this would go away if only we could share a kiss
(Chorus)
I’ve never been in love so maybe I’m mistaken
But I know it’s not just lust cause I ain’t picturing you naked
My heart is aching, I don’t think that I can take it
And I know this feeling’s real cause I don’t think that I could fake this
This is a cry for help for what it really means
Cause we haven’t met in months but I still see you in my dreams
And I promise that I could make it alright
If you could just be my lady tonight

Just A Shot Away
(Verse 1)
My flow’s dope when I’m spittin’ the mic’s scared
Approach goals and be willing to fight fair
I’m so close I can feel it I’m right there
But still can’t tell if it’s a dream or a nightmare
Time’s up so I’m out the door
I hate to show up smoke just to bounce and go
But I can feel it in my bones, I’m about to blow
But they my homies so they go no doubt fa sho
We got you bro! We know it’s your talent and passion
Everyday you’ve been writing as a counter reaction
Never doubtin’ or slackin’ you’re bound to be rappin’
Put yourself in a position and allow it to happen
No excuses it’s up to me
Premonitions as a teen who I’ve come to be
Puffin’ blunts of the tree as I bump to beats
Whether I flunk or succeed’s really up to me
Gotta put away the bong that I hide from Mom
Gotta write another song fore my mind is gone
So I rhyme along because my grind is strong
I’ve been denied 9 times 10th times a charm
Persistence needless to say
Learn to adapt turn weakness to strength
Cause the time is now to find your style
To rhyme to crowds for encores, smiles, and bows
Cause your mind is the blockage depriving the process
Surviving through conflicts, reviving your confidence
Your rhymin’ is timeless with God as your conscious
Aside with the nonsense I’m prosperous, I got this
Your mind is the blockage depriving the process
Surviving through conflicts, reviving your confidence
Your rhymin’ is timeless with God as your conscious
Aside with the nonsense I’m prosperous, I got this!

Child of God
(Verse 1)
Yo I grab the mic with the passion of Christ
To capture his might, converting devils back to the light
There’s no need to ask for advice when your actions are right
It’s a rapper’s delight and God paved the path for my life
Cause I’m a mind wonderer, lyrical rhyme fondler
Divine commoner slash spiritual guide follower
Defeat snakes through the stares that the beast makes
Decrease hate, writing prayers for the beat’s sake
To preach faith to the fiery depths
Acquired the steps to put selfish desires to rest
Disguised our regrets, our lives are a mess
In times of distress we gotta put our minds to the test
God in the flesh takin’ form of our night life preachers
With our bright white sneakers and our Christ like features
All we offering is awesome advice
Manifesting imagination turning thoughts into life
(Chorus)
It’s been decided I’m a Child of God
I was skeptical at first, now my doubts are gone
Why divide and pick a side? We’re all Child’s of God
You and I can unify, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
I’m a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
You’re a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God
(Verse 2)
Life’s limitless divine interactions
When using our infinite minds and bottomless passions
We all share the same common attraction
Of spreading love to one another through positive actions
To towns wordiest, also the crowns worthiest
The sounds furious till I’m cumulus cloud curious
I breathe with the trees and howl as the owl sings
You are a part of every living thing in your surroundings
Approach life with brutally honest bravery
Say a prayer to the moon as I’m thanking my God for saving me
Cause painfully I once thought that God had forsaken us
But that can’t be the case because God created courageousness
The life carer, the sight starer, the freight scarer
To fight fairer, the mic sharer, the light bearer
Steered me through the rats traps of this packed sewer
And still walked with me even when I turned my back to her
(Chorus)
It’s been decided I’m a Child of God
I was skeptical at first, now my doubts are gone
Why divide and pick a side? We’re all Child’s of God
You and I can unify, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
I’m a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
You’re a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God
(Verse 3)
Let’s say grace as the bass of the beat thumps
To the Universe place faith and complete trust
Torn between my past, swore on my encrypted pad
Formed a different draft, now reborn to my committed path
Faith training debating a crazed stage dive
Patient with the same inspiration that made planes fly
So me living with freight is not likely
If I’m shiesty towards my fam then God strike me
I felt nerves put an end to immortality
My self worth ain’t represented by a salary
An old soul with a past time fantasy
So I’ll make up in spirit what I lack financially
Calm and ready as I promised every honorary
Speaking stream of consciousness, involuntary commentary
Blessed sentences formed from the depths genesis
So no I ain’t God, but I’m one of his best messengers
(Chorus)
It’s been decided I’m a Child of God
I was skeptical at first, now my doubts are gone
Why divide and pick a side? We’re all Child’s of God
You and I can unify, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
I’m a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God
I’m a Child of God, you’re a Child of God
You’re a Child, you’re a Child, we’re all Child’s of God

Turn Back Time
(Zoo Verse)
If I could Turn Back Time I wouldn’t need to write this rhyme
I could rewind those misguided signs
And find truth in the mirror beneath the lines
Eyes would be wide with pride not pinned out from being high
Time doesn’t heal my wounds, it cuts deeper
Understand I’m playing for keeps with the reaper
Instead of being my brother’s keeper
A light bearer and a truth seeker
A born leader whose voice pumps from the speakers
I’ve seen more than I should’ve and less than I want to
The world that I live in, the facts of the past could haunt you
Trumpets force notes from their throats
Newspaper headlines with more hate than hope
So I time travel with the grace of commit gliding through space
While the stars align forming sacred shapes
Make no mistake we’ll all get a chance to make
Our dreams come true before our souls escape
(Chorus)
Time flies as we all try to capture it
Life dies from the falls and the deficits
Dried eyes from the crawls through the precipice
Wise minds heed the morals and the messages
Hopeful light is what the right man carries
We all get a chance but the length of life span varies
If I could Turn Back Time I’d pursue what I’ve done
Because life is way too short to not do what you love
(Bridge)
We spend more than we earn, we lend more than return
Forget more than we learn, regret more than we yearn
Neglect more than encourage, we’re blessed more than we’re cursed
Reflect more on your worth, protect more and preserve
(Static Verse)
Time flies as we watch and we ponder
Life dies as the Gods open the skies in their honor
For the revival of martyrs for the survival of all us
For all the philosophers living Christ conscious and cautious
I won’t rely on an office to make some dollars and audits
Cause I’ma thrive as an artist and I’ma die for my causes
And I’ma rhyme as the rawest till I’m a prosperous father
For unexplored territories that we’ve conquered and wondered
I’ve got the mind of a scholar with the eyes of toddler
And everybody surrounding me as a constant reminder
That time will only tell, you either prosper or go to hell
Problems overwhelm when your biggest obstacle’s yourself
Pursued a life of stress fighting for some confidence
My biggest life regrets are my best accomplishments
Years wasted cause my rhymes were always secondary
Memories last forever but time is only temporary
(Chorus)
Time flies as we all try to capture it
Life dies from the falls and the deficits
Dried eyes from the crawls through the precipice
Wise minds heed the morals and the messages
Hopeful light is what the right man carries
We all get a chance but the length of life span varies
If I could Turn Back Time I’d pursue what I’ve done
Because life is way too short to not do what you love

The Preacher

The Preacher
(Verse 1)
I understand because I’ve been where you’re at
Undecided, misdirected on your spiritual path
As a disbeliever of the heroes of past
Cause common sense is not convinced of all the miracles had
Only noticing the priests and their scandalous acts
Cause they know you’re lost and tried to take advantage of that
Damn, anointed hypocrisy to disgrace religion
Exploiting ancient belief systems to make a living
Fake faith through excuses and facades
It seems that we’ve been seeking man’s approval over God’s
But yet the world remains circling the same course
And at the end of the day we’re all worshipping the same source
But feel free to disagree and dispute
Because Jesus was persecuted just for speaking the truth
From scriptures and chapters, electrons and atoms
I refuse to come to the conclusion none of this matters
(Chorus)
From the Sun to the oceans and abyss
To the fish in the water, wind blowing in the midst
For the kids let’s forgive instead of hopelessly resist
I don’t care how smart you are, you don’t know how we exist
So put your faith into somethin’ and stop frontin’
Put your faith into somethin’ and stop frontin’
Be appreciative of the life that you got
We’re all at the mercy of God whether you like it or not
(Verse 2)
Till kingdom come let us forgive
I’m still young and I’ve got mad love to give
Till thy will be done, surpass our past actions
Passion with John the Baptist rap tactics
I practiced until the poems appeared
Wrote on scrolls over years, chose love over fear
Blunts over beers as I heed the way that faith leads
See it as the page reads, Jesus was a straight G
Which made me form a spiritual relation
To heroes over satan, miracles in the making
Stand or retreat as we hand flowers for grievances
Cause men are weak and manpower is meaningless
Lyrical synergy, forces beyond immaculate
This spirit has been with me before I could even fathom it
Yo, so stop acting like you know
Just got with flow and help somebody out before we go
(Chorus)
From the Sun to the oceans and abyss
To the fish in the water, wind blowing in the midst
For the kids let’s forgive instead of hopelessly resist
I don’t care how smart you are, you don’t know how we exist
So put your faith into somethin’ and stop frontin’
Put your faith into somethin’ and stop frontin’
Be appreciative of the life that you got
We’re all at the mercy of God whether you like it or not
(Verse 3)
So I don’t even make decisions no more
I just speak what I record and leave it up to the Lord
Who always gave me much needed love and support
As I surrendered to the floor, knees up under the drawer
Don’t feel burdened or despair over the words that I share
Cause every verse that I’ve prepared’s like a personal prayer
Yeah, to the snare and the rhythm of God’s drum
With the words from the wise tongue given by God’s son
Ain’t just another random story off the shelf
I felt the need to spread it without glory for myself
No false prophet, just a genuine promise
Cause he who wants the glory for the one who sent him is honest
So I’m not even speaking on my own authority
I feel it in my artistry, the spirit is a part of me
While sinners eagerly and evily extort it
The righteous get rewarded and don’t need to be applauded
My faith was strengthened and I’m glad to say I’m blessed
After broken periods of being Adam in the flesh
Was tempted as the heartbreak added to my stress
And felt like Jesus weeping over Lazarus’s death
That’s when I surrendered self and wrote my first poem
Whoever’s committed no sin can throw the first stone
Embedded the message in these albums
Broke off a piece of the rhyme and reached thousands

God’s Grace
(Verse 1)
Yo as of late I’m grateful for everyday I’m alive
Pain could never thrive if I’ve got faith by side
And this ain’t a curse, it’s a conversation through rhyme
And this ain’t a curse, it’s an obligation to God
And I ain’t special I’m just taking my spot
Everybody’s smarter than me in other ways that I’m not
Because there’s no limitation to your designated innovation
Through integration of your self created inspiration
Under the full moon, sun, and the stars
There’s not a single person living who don’t come with a scar
And since we don’t have the answers, we wonder in awe
So it’s either we’re all special or none of us are
But either way I’ma live to create
Give of my faith to make up for my sins and mistakes
We all hate but it’s worse to resent
So instead of remorse and regret, I’ve learned to repent
(Chorus)
Cause God’s Grace is a faith filled chariot
Galloping to salvage all this hate fueled arrogance
And I’m the same, half saint, half sinner
Cause we all play in vain, but this game don’t have winners
If I could take away your pain I would gladly then
Even if it added extra baggage I would carry it
Fighting dilemmas with a grateful and bliss soul
Life gave me lemons so I painted that shit gold
(Verse 2)
I never thought I’d be a man of the Lord
Finding fulfillment without having what I couldn’t afford
Acknowledging my fans, friends, and family’s support
Who always give me extra strength when my stamina’s short
Through difficult times confide with your insides
Don’t let it hide cause when emotion drive, sin thrives
So I’ll be here instead writing as my tears are shed
Cause once your spirit’s led in the clear, fear is dead
So when I grab the pen I author my gift
Cause I don’t got a lot but what I do I offer to give
Yeah, but yet I’m greedy on a mission for wealth
Cause I’m a Righteous Rebel always contradicting myself
Too enslaved and enraged to reveal this hate
Why do I say the things I say? Why do I feel this way?
Whatever it takes to reverse our conditions
To create our own Heaven on this Earth while we’re living
(Chorus)
Cause God’s Grace is a faith filled chariot
Galloping to salvage all this hate fueled arrogance
And I’m the same, half saint, half sinner
Cause we all play in vain, but this game don’t have winners
If I could take away your pain I would gladly then
Even if it added extra baggage I would carry it
Fighting dilemmas with a grateful and bliss soul
Life gave me lemons so I painted that shit gold
(Verse 3)
Take prestigious breaths meshed with elitist steps
One must achieve success in order to redeem regrets
Maybe it’s not my time yet and I just need a rest
Either way one day I know that I could be the best
This is soul music, feelings get exposed through it
Healing on your own in a meditative zone to it
See this is what I gotta do so I can make it through
But not only for you, I’d do it for a stranger too
Cause I remember thinking back on my life’s past
Seeing all the sad situations my friends had
Drifted off the right track the moment that light flashed
Thinking why is it like that? And why don’t they fight back?
Everyday I’ve been praying under rainy skies
Begging for direction with this empty soul and vacant eyes
Like dear God if you can’t take away this pain of mine
Then let me be able to use it to maybe change some lives
(Chorus)
Cause God’s Grace is a faith filled chariot
Galloping to salvage all this hate fueled arrogance
And I’m the same, half saint, half sinner
Cause we all play in vain, but this game don’t have winners
If I could take away your pain I would gladly then
Even if it added extra baggage I would carry it
Fighting dilemmas with a grateful and bliss soul
Life gave me lemons so I painted that shit gold
