1. INTRO:
(Male Voice)
America is a land filled with myths and fables. It’s inundated with phoniness. As a society, we thrive on fantasy and make-believe. The interest of most Americans is in finding the next ‘fix’ that will enable them to escape reality. Although momentarily.
(John Piper)
You knock a typical American down, what does he do?
Number 1: He feels self-pity and he whines.
Number 2: He says, “Where was God?”
And Number 3: He sues somebody.
And I thought most of these people are in a dream world (echoes).

I'm
Taming Frustration, this aching it got me breaking and making all my friends into enemies
(stop fronting)
but the one faking is the inner me.
Inbred tendencies to miss the silver lining only find the cloud that's underneath
(pray, pray)
Can't keep my body in direct subjection under me
Feel like I'm the head, But the arms and legs are running me
(run)
Hold me hostage, put a gun to me
Ain't nothing here funny
Working
But ain't nothing here fun to me, jack
(jack be quick)
Looking in the mirror like
Dag what have you done to me
Feeling outnumbered
Thanking God it's only one of me.
(uh uh uh)
Luckily, graciously, impatience be
Making me, painfully aim to be changed to the same degree as
(uh uh yeah)
James said to be in his letter
Read to me
And As Christ made apparent
When he came to me
I told you ain't no fun
This ain't a game to me
(its real life, baby)
These is commandments
We bout that life faithfully
These is the standards
Achieve because we believe
(we believe)
And Jesus commands us
Plus we see the advantage
because he gave us eyes
To see beyond this planet
So we could see light
So we could see right
And choose Christ
(by grace, by grace)
Candid
All night headphones
Listening to my devo
With dark shades on
Hear no see no speak no
This whole worlds thoughts are
Continually evil
(evil)
Don't blame the guns and (knives)
Blame the people
(me and you)
Not just Puerto Riquenos and the negros
But everybody dead or alive including me too
We all made idols out of things thoughts and people
Disregard you ego
Remember your hearts deceitful
Repent sin sick sinner (sin sinner sick)

Apologia (Feat. Tone)

(Conversing & Faint Mumbling)
“I wish I could close my eyes, but… then I couldn’t see.”
[Theo]
You say you want to live your life without the Christ?
I don't even know what that look like
Because the Christ is life he paid the price
Just so you'd survive he withstood stripes
And died and came back to life
Acknowledge his passion
The God of the facts of life
My father's the captain
No, Not no Judeo-Christian
Religious dogmatic
Pastimes Habits traditions
And rituals are all madness
If you don't have a genuine
Relationship with your daddy
And let him carry you and
Lay your head down when your buried
And die and come back to life
We live because he lives
And die to that savage life
We give because he gives
Develop your habits right
And you still gon’ be wicked
For denying the afterlife
And the person that gives it
because he said everybody see him
But we won't admit it
So that make you just as guilty
As the first one that did it
So don't Deny your creator
And lose a sense of your privilege
denying your self
and the reason you living
Denying his grace, faith
And the gifts that you given
I know you can dig it
But don't get pissed it was written
[Tone]
As we were yet sinners
still died for us
Went to hell
Saved us from Seoul
Not knowing the difference
But the hell the we know
Is blinding
Thinking He won't have true fire
Grinding
Keep faith on Heaven chastising finding
Keeping me alive
Not lying.
Also not lying
six feet deep.
The Christ keeps His body
From the neck to His feet.
because the Father keeps His head
So To Him it's nothing
Windows to the soul
Just how He works
Making something of nothing.
Not usual for Him to use
The mighty and noble
But the weak meek
Humble servant
With faith that's mighty and mobile.
We the tabernacle
We His temple
Ghost riding to any beat
He want to.
Open your eyes
See He wants you
Took the lower case t
So we can be capitalized
No I in team
But I can see me in it
He taught the stars to sing BLING
He taught the bees to sting
He taught the birds fly.
He gave color to the sky.

[Hook]
Who can I turn to?
Can you help me?
Help me find my way.
When the rain pours, it really pours, the skies are full of shades of gray.
So, just hold me, don’t you ever let it slip away.
When the rain pours, it really pours.
[BRA]
You say you chasing dreams, you’re just running from reality. Staring at the sky like, “Why these clouds got to follow me?”
I’m a survivor that’s the only thing that’s driving me, this greed inside of me is probably just gon’ swallow me.
Honestly, I’m just thinking logically. I’m just painting masterpieces on anybody’s beat.
I got the gift but it’s the curse that bothers me, afraid I’m out of reach from the people that I’m trying to reach.
Don’t get a lot of sleep. Only time I get to eat is when I’m I’m not tied up, trying to make ends meet.
Even if it means getting blood on my trees. Death around the corner I can feel it in the breeze.
Cops yelling freeze, my block a hundred degrees, and I think I seen a sniper on the roof through the leaves.
Extreme paranoia, hearing paranormal screams. On my knees like, “God, could you make it stop, please? ”
Please. Make the pain stop, please. This girl hands me some pills like, “here, pop these to“
Make the pain stop, they can make your pain leave. Sign your name on this line, I can make you a king.
With queen like Coretta. It’s whatever you dream. I’d rather take what I need, like Malcolm by any means.
There’s black, there’s white and there’s an area between. Gray every day and it pours when it rains.
Bored with the game, because everybody’s the same. And nothing was the same, got them thinking they can sing.
But I’m a rider, so stay outside of my lane. I go insane on the track, but that’s just how I was trained.
And I know it. Probably owe it to Rage O, the Phenom. Cannon, the showcase.
Where’d we make the mistakes. We supposed to be great.
Chosen to lead, but we couldn’t see it because of the gray. Then one day when the smoke clears away. Life wake you up, smack you dead in the face.
[Hook]
[Theo]
My God, forgive me
I'm devoured by pride
Ive tried repenting
Feeling empty I've cried
I'm tired of sinning
Mental, wishin I'd die...
Too foul for winning
Every inning pop fly
Sick of living my lie
Quickly given to the desires
That require an entire squad
In line's combined fire
Calling out to the slaughter
And denying what's higher
When I should be pouring water
Like the choir
But ill rise
Even though I'm inclined to recline
In you, its not mine to decide
I'm just another hypocrite
Trying not to die
But I know that's what I deserve
Amazing grace is that (at) work.
because I should be getting merked
Forever more and for certain
I'm telling you, I’m the worse
No worth as a person, but to hurt
Concerned for where I learnt it
Festering of the world is
So obvious that we buy it
It's commercially viable
Greatest show on earth
So drawing it should be curtains
It's drawing them like fishermen
It's Calling them to its service
It's Bating them with its hooks
And hooking them with its lines
And frying them up to serve them
I'm buying a couple
Dag
And ain't no denying
IT was the serpent
by your grace he
Still grinding demolishing
what was perfect
But as long as I follow you
Everything will be worth it
because you work it for the good
Of those that's called to your purpose

You think I don't notice

Mistakes and things that you been in
And instantly back to beginnings

I'm willing to sit with you fixing $#!& daily
To show that daily my planet revolves around you

We all have our evils
But you the right side
Church!
Baby forgive me
You know my dilemmas
This year getting crazy
Despite the adversity @#$% kept occurring
The pains never faded
Losing my stasis
Fall of queen
Rise of an angel
Can't thank you enough for being amazing
Good Gracious
Still the gravity hits home
Regrets and memories flooding
Aggression but since shown
A little more compassion
When disaster @#$% happens

Harder just to access the happiness

Your orbit so your axis gets tilted

So I'm trying to get over it
And master with my craftsmanship
Right side
[Theo]
Yeah, You been my right side
For like a decade
Until the fears turned to worries
Turned to tussles turned to headaches
Your fears and your worries made us wrestle until we red faced
For year after year Until I
Look at you like dead weight
Plotting my escape
Inundated with your escapades
And I respond with nothing less than rage
Every time you test my faith
Question after question until the message I misrepresent
Switches up direction
because you found it 2 unsettling
I love you, yes I love you
Say I need some better evidence
than Restaurants that’s elegant
And places that you never been
Eating up the scripture
Praying, sitting with the reverend
Doing all it takes for God
To make us into better men
Taking me for granted when you
Used to show me reverence.
I don't think you love me like
You did when we was just friends
Whatever then
I'd rather be alone
Than half to play defense
Every time Come home

I follow my God I follow my god
When I'm working at my job
I follow my god I follow my god
When I'm hungry, naked and starved
I follow my god I follow my god
Right behind him in my brand new car
I follow my god when everything’s
Struggle and my whole life is hard
Just seven short weeks
I was breezing
A whole chapter on
Self control
If I'm controlling myself
Then I know I need help
Don't care for my health or soul
I running I'm running
From responsibility
And your response is killing me
Every time you tell me
That I'm
Not being what I'm built to be
I just need to listen
Need to listen
to find my place
You give me the mission
Start the ignition
And align my way
because you designed this place
Yes you designed this place
I need your direction
I'm gon win this race
Matter fact just show me your face
So wicked and adulterous.
I follow my God I follow my god
When I'm working at my job
I follow my god I follow my god
When I'm hungry, naked and starved
I follow my god I follow my god
Right behind him in my brand new car
I follow my god when everything’s
Struggle and my whole life is hard

I got to go home
I got to get alone somehow
And get to my high speed modem
And my wireless mouse
I got this bone
Im gon’ pick it
Anything I see baby
I'm gon’ click it
Flow baby flow baby like a spigot
The whole time I know father it's so wicked
I see you watching boy watching boy watching boy
I see you watching baby watch me while I work my boy
I see you watching boy watching boys watching boy
I see you watching boy watch me while I work my toy
[Lindseypop]
Hey baby girl.
H-how you doing?
You’re the one that I been pursuing.
Nowadays, you just look right past me,
I don’t care because I still see us doing the nasty
Visions in my mind, more vivid than the times
It happened, that was just my imagination
It’s grown into a great sensation,
I ain’t left the room, but we done been on like eight vacations
No more attention being paid to Andy Griffith
Sweats beads popping, no I ain’t stopping
because the feeling I feel got your boy pop locking
glance at the door, man forgot to lock it
T minus ten, can’t worry bout that
because this last vacation ‘bout six seconds flat
Somewhere on the tropics, got a small little cottage
Got a fine little thing and I’m focused on her body
Then my wife bust in like, “boy, you need to stop it…”
But I ain’t a quitter. Nope. Nope. Woo.
[Hook]

[Ian]
Got to Go.
Need to get away right now.
Back to my high speed modem.
And my wireless mouse.
Got a urge, oh baby.
Beat it or go crazy.
because I’m so…
Addicted to digital action, yay.
All love and affection have been replaced.
With lust, anger, envious hate.
How do I live my life this way.
And I’m so sick, but it’s a little sickening.
Lusting for these vixen in the digital space.
I must explore these vixens and these poison images.
Too affective to carry my weight.
Too easy to get carried away.
Too easy to abandon my faith.
Yeah.
I guess its too easy just being easy.
(Keep living life)
Easy to live this way.
[Hook]
[Theo]
I got to stop I know-
I'm feeding these demons
They eating my soul.
Getting weak from what I'm seeing
And I'm overexposed
Every evening and weekend
And then only God know
I can't spend no time alone
Tempted sinning every time that I'm at home
All these women at my job got me all in the zone
Sick a dealing with the feeling man I'm signing on
bodacious bodies
on ladies i wanna Make my wifey
But I don't know them but I
imagine that they would like me
fallacious thinking that makes me pursue a great temptation
so now I'm waiting outside of
A vacant railway station
Aye, man. You know what? Stop this, yo. I got pst… I gotta kill this, man.
This gotta stop.
This gotta stop.
Lord, forgive me.

In the name of Christ.
L. F. E.
Me and the boys… I mean the “bouls.”
It go Sin and death
Rich and stressed
Mad and mellow
Sick and strong
Pick a text
Switch stance
Song and dance
Pissed and wrong
Listen though
Living stone
Got me out here
Living long
Forever never let up
Keep pressing I know he got me (hi
On a mission for his glory
I'm living this kamikaze
Unbelievers beside me
(I'm free, because Jesus did buy me)
Staring at this fire inspired
For God to try me
carve me out my body
to put his spirit inside me
Demolish everything that I am
Until I can't find me
because I be trying be Godly
But I just get in the way
He probably make bigger waves
If he'd just quit using me
But I'm privileged to be his slave
So it's easy for me to see
That he using me for his glory
Not because he's in need of me.
I am here to tell you his story
And show you what he would be
And could be if u let him love you because he does it for me
“However unconvinced you may now be of the truth of what you hear, by and by, you will be fully convinced”
[Tone]
As i was living
Enjoying the life style
that was giving
Im realizing theses good things is a prison.
Indulging Smoking drinking
High living
Worshipping idols
Like sport cloths and woman
How can i be free
From these habits
All I want to do is just have it.
Selfish man
Only thinking bout his selfish plan
Attempting to create a perfect land
trying to make heaven his own way
Out of dust and dirt
Building foundations out of lust n hurt
Did the tower of Babel Make it?
No way.
No way Jose
Ask Joseph
sold as a slave
No weapon no holsters
Lock behind bar
In his jail was his culture.
Yet became a boss as he
Supposed to.
Rather than heaven
We build in ourselves
A cell
Then we label it hell.
Blaming God
Ignoring that we blew it ourselves.
But I tell you it's time to break out
because I'm Tired of being broken
In the Son all day
Is where I pray
I be soaking.
Blood poured out
accept
let it soak in.
The pain
the sores
The trouble
Give it all in
Let Him take over
Heard of prison cells that
He opened.
“Yay. There is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell”
[Lindseypop]
Go hard on the end of the bars for the Lord.
I’m here for me, because I can’t judge a soul
bet not look at a stone, that’s why I’m probably not a sneakerhead
but I would sneak ahead, just to get a little edge
especially for a little bread
Got a daughter to be fed
What’s even worse
I ain’t been giving her the church since birth
Just to say it kind of makes this verse hurt
So I just pray to break the curse
Pray to break the curse
because with repentance and obedience the lord will make it work
But you got to put him first and you got to put in that work
Can’t be hearers of the word, but when its your turn you ain’t spoke
Now I realize its not about me, it’s about us.
Getting right before your number’s called
So, I’m confronting y’all.
To glorify his name
because his wrath can never be tamed
And I’d be lying if I tell you that its easy to change
because everybody got a little evil in they heart
But believing’s where it start,
and I believe so that evil’s gon’ get torn apart.
“You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince, and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else that you did not got to hell the last night.”

Death, sin, life, God, Christ, mortal bodies, desires, law, grace. These massive realities. These are the big things life. These are the huge issues. And as I meditated on it I thought, “You know, As I stand there tomorrow morning and say that, there are going to be people in this room who don’t care about this at all. There’s some of you sitting there that have no emotionally resonance with what I am saying at all about God and Christ and sin and salvation and heaven and hell and law and grace and desires and the body and deliverance being the big glorious great issues of life. You don’t feel that right now at all. You frankly are very excited about the new CD you just got. Or watching a ball game. Or wearing a new outfit—will anyone notice? Getting a new computer. Adding a room on the house. This is what gets you, emotionally. And my venting here about the great things lands on you dead.

Deep in the heavens
Propelling his grand design
The sun sits transfixed
Beyond eyes
Middle of a void
It still continues to Shine
It always been set it never seen a dawn
Never seen a recession
never seen a decline
rays penetrate
through space and time,
Magnified by the stratosphere
Just to add to it's shine
Wit messages for men
to women to be for signs
Giving heat to the seeds,
Beasts, seas, and vines
And arrives in the skies overpowering the clouds
Descends to the surface
As heaven and earth align
through the window through blinds just to burn my eyes
I hate waking up
when I stayed up
late as what
hanging drinking
like a stinking Lincoln
cup full of London gin
dutch twisted up
Wit a buzz until like 6 am
Alarm clock on high
Fight the odds and I just may win
Praying that he'll open up my eyes
maybe take me in
Well I'm awake, except Im late.
But I'm so far away,
If I can't be on time for Yahweh
I might as well just stay home
On time for a check never rest
But never for the--
edification of the saints or my soul
Plus I got to take a shower for I go
Cant let them smell my breath or the odor on my clothes
That's at least a half hour more to go before I go
Plus another half hour more to get me to the store
Got to get a pack of cigs so i can smoke them at the doe
because I know they gon forgive
So I don't smoke them on the low
They open for me though
Still give me hugs
I'm just soaking in the love
While they soaking in my smoke
Mostly spoken for the folks that ain't know me from a ghost
But still decided to try to help me
Focus on the most high
Ain't owe nothing
but still love me I don't know why
It's so fly... it's so like...
Reinforcing my soul ties
Every time I go by
Though its odd
how we all become polarized Trying serve a holy God
Who calls us to be unified
You and I should suicide
and everyday be new inside
Do or die iron sharpens iron
So my crew collide
With good reproofs we rebuking for the future side and strive to not abuse, Holy rules, getting euthaniz--

Its another beautiful day in Philadelphia!
City of brotherly love! Birds chirping!
The sun rising!
O the paper is here early. What a great day! For the traditions of the world are at hand! Hey what’s wrong with him!? Foot washer what’s wrong? Everyday your happy and chipper. What wrong?!
New day same shame
Same picture different frame
Been Changed chilling but the feeling
Still remains
Villains came willing to make a billion For Spilling game
Banging on hell's ceiling
Literally killing to build a name
Rabid wolves wrapped in wool
Jumpsuits Consealing fangs
Priests of Baal prophesying falsely
But they Bolsheviks
They don't wanna lift his name
They just profit off of it
What's up with seeing people saved
No matter what it's costin us
We was lost too.
But someone fought for us
We wouldn't even be here
If he Aint call for us
Met us where we stood
Crossed the impassable gulf for us
Also brought his brand new life and spirit to offer us
(long pause)
These luckless suckers trying to
Pluck us from him
And make off with us
Why they still breathing, father?
Blaspheming and teaching
People evil models
And take it for good
They shouldn’t see tomorrow.
Abandoning your ways
Slandering your name
Make them an example
Hand them to the grave
To stay.
Let them stop talking
And start coughing
And fall over and die
To the coffin today
For taking in vain the
holy name of the most high
No lie
That's how I been feeling God.
But I'm suppose to love those guys.
And respect your will...

But I can't let the sun go down on my anger danger I've become a stranger to the person that I love most.
Hanging with the church getting closer with the culture
Trying to teach the people truth
But I'm not above reproach
because you hated reading scriptures with me didn't care a lick about the infinite mysteries that’s given by the spirit
Hate that I could hear it and I see it and God forbid the kid would come alive and try be it
you telling me I changed
I thank God for receiving --
Meanwhile you not really liking
What you seeing
I fell under the influence
and you started competing
To Keep Me from becoming someone you didn't believe in
(Jesus)
Someone ready die for him
But until I go see his face
So I got to survive for him
Sin burned away
Get eaten alive for him
All because he did for me first
Undeserved
So I’m striving to keep my eyes on him
Can't deny evangelize put some guys on him
Give him praise until I die
Or he breaks the skies on them
For his glory, I know I'm going
be perfect now reverse it
(build my house on him)
You built your life around happiness security, a prestigious position and a man who was sure to be
In tune with your intentions
And attentive to your every need
Get money get money
another country every week
Fast car countryside
Iced coffee leather seats
2x
(latte)
Even when we started off
though that was never me
Not someone who risks all gain
For a risen king
invisible
Spiritual
But relevant to everything
Praying that you'll hear it too
See miracles and everything
But most of all
I want to see your soul live forever babe

[Spurgeon]
I do believe that never a tear was seen to gush from his eye while the soldiers scourged him. Though he was cast into prison, we read of his singing, never of his groaning. I do not believe he ever wept on account of any sufferings or dangers to which he himself was exposed for Christ.
[Mayne]
I told the devil to give me a fair one
And when I win, you're somebody that I never want hear from
I don't know why the lord spared him
Causing confusion with deception placed upon your eardrum
Name the time name the place name your circumstance
"HOW ABOUT THE PLACE WHERE THE GIRLS DO THE TWERKING DANCE"
He did his homework he knows I'm not a perfect man
It doesn't matter because I live with a purpose man
I grab my bible then I head out
I'm being moved by the Lord so I have nothing to be scared about
This is for all that I care about
You can't sit at the table if you don't pull your chair out
I want to sit by His right hand
So I have to live right man
Living for God is so exciting
(Battling demons is the right plan)
I just thank God for his guidance
[Spurgeon]
He wept for three things: he wept on account of their guilt; on account of the ill effects of their conduct; and on account of their doom.
[Theo]
I bless my god with my mouth
First of one and bless his seed while they curse his son
And bless the servants until they work is done
And remind them when it's hurting that they do it for the perfect one.
And bless the bosses
That they losses’ll
be profits--
May NOT GET all they want
at least they got a lot
Hard hearts will be softened
Shmucks'll get cut off and
All to bring God his.
Bless my homies that in the jail not expecting mail
Trying to find a balance between violence and respect in hell
silence don't work
Against intolerance
Got to vent and strike terror
For a peaceful night of rest
And bless my homies that's home
Not locked up, life still chalked up
Only 25 but they washed up
hoping that they slowly
On the rise
But they surely gon decline
If they not trusting god for
salvation through the Christ but
I'm just to anxious for your life
so I got to bring that cross up
Christ will make it right, if you invite him
temple and he'll come on in despite them
I am a one track record called gospel not to pastor or apostle
but if I found life in him
what I'm gon hide it for
I wanna see you in the sky too.

Schemes develop in my mind, so I try to push them to the back
Until I feel that little shove in my back like
what about PECO, and that jew, Mr. Lipshaw
And didn’t you say you wanted to ball?
now every time I devise a plan, you want to stall
naw
I just want to walk into the light
Cause my eyes already open
I’m a man, so all my desires can be enticed
So, I promise to make the sacrifice
For years I wasn’t living right
Lusting, lying, stealing, drinking, smoking
No faith, depending on hope
and none of the word
ride clean, until I hit the curb
Social worker from the shelter
Layed off, seeking shelter
And my sister need a kidney
Pops down from Alzheimer's
And I use to see momma like every day
But Now momma like four hours away
Still thanking God for his glory
cause we are blessed to even be here
And since 2morrows not promised to you
You need to give your soul up tonight
3x
[Tone]
I bless ma God
With ma mouth
First of one
And bless His seed
While they curse His son.
He is the perfect one.
Bless them ladies
That carry them babies
getting beaten.
The skinny children
where Eva they at
But ain't eating.
Bless those children
Wit broken families
Storing away
And now
they ain't speaking
Bless the fatherless
With no protections
Getting sold
Wit no directions
Abusing their young spirits
soul molesting
At the thought it
Ma Cardiac starts arresting
But thank You Lord
For the blessing
That You've given
With one seed
You've blessed your children
With a man on the cross
All sins have been forgiven
Happy Easter
Merry Christmas
Giving grace
Singing praise
Happy thanks given
We Holla
Yay
But when Christ come back
It'll truly be a holiday.
Holy day
Everyday that given
Harvesting fa the kingdom
Lord bless the mission.
Got all plans
But need Permission
Walk n learn
Can u hear it?
We getting wisdom
School of hard knock?
Naw the soft rock...
The Holy Spirit
(Spurgeon)
He did not flinch from telling the whole truth, and telling it often too, though some might think that once from the lip of Paul would be of more effect than a hundred times from any one else. "I have told you often," says he, "and I tell you yet again there are some who are the enemies of the cross of Christ.
And while faithful, you will notice that the apostle was, as every true minister should be, extremely affectionate.
Paul wept on account of the GUILT of those persons who, having a name to live, were dead

What Ya life about? Nothing
What you here for? Stunting
What you cry about? Comfort
What you scared for?
What your proud about? You hundreds?
What you care for?
Grabbing grippas to grapple cartridges send them airborn
Having children look at you and dupe your uniform
Peep you in the street hurry home and throw the hoodie on
Unless they can't afford it
Then it's black mask hoodie mode
For some fly clothes
Them boys will make you ghost
You probably thinking you ain’t make them though
never knew they daddy
but they still trying to replace them though
And you share the same inclination
Look the same, talk the same
Yo You they inspiration
they See you snapping smoking drinking and berating women
And they want to be the man
At least one of his henchmen
Skipping school to chase chicken making major figgas
Kissing chicks making babies
Disgracing the sisters
You watch games so they play games
Hoping that you'll watch them
They emulate the players on your favorite team
And if your favorite team
is money, money get money
Then they probably never gon’
Respect a pap who living bummy
Ain't got 7 jeans Yves saint Tim's money
But working like a slave 7 days to pay bills monthly
To you, it's still funny
Til you ain't cool no more
And some real money it's your turn to get Killed dunny

I guess I’m guilty guilty, guilty
filthy filthy feel me, for really see I young and silly silly
really silly simply selling righty in front of the deli deli
I’m homeless homie, I’m hungry, who else gone provide it for me
Feel me?
Yo… From experience being ignorant, I’ve successfully spent
Most of my life imprisoned in systems with a significant
Chance of being a resident over and over again cuzza what I was thinking
Was you really thinking, Trazsh?
Not really thinking at all.
Mainly debating Hennessey gin and juice or the Dom
Jubilee and the storm on top of the pj hall
Wishing I had a father who wasn’t copping your raw
Identifying my flaws before I’m pointing at yalls
I relate to that emptiness full of anger and all
The negatives in the world on these shoulders of mine
Explains the way I would dream with this weight on my mind
But love do exist so with this convo of mine
I’m saying, “kid, I see better you can do with your time.”
You incredible homie, and intelligent too
Matter fact, I never met some one as brilliant as you
If you ever need a ear to listen, I’m right here
It is in my opinion you greater than what you hear
See, yeah

[Lindseypop]
It’s sick how they can blaspheme God
But I oppose cuz he the head of my squad
I want to live for ever that’s why I’m living forever
So if I livef for God, I know that I can do better
Aint got no Christ better get some
Two sides beloved you better pick one
All them phony prophets you better get from
Cuz when the real king is here, everybody gon know
Biggest mystery to me, who gon go
That’s why I keep a prayer for my friends and my kinfolk
This the spirit, not just a pen stroke
If it wasn’t for him, I would lack potential
But because of him, everything in plentiful
But it wasn’t that way, from the very beginning, though
Until I claimed his name, and told the world and all of these demons
That I’m
ready for (4x)
[Hook]
Scriptures all in my pocket
Statutes all on my heart.
Demons telling me to stop it
Flesh ripping me apart
I feel this tug a war gon’
I don't know when it started
Been pull in on me Since I was born
I'm starting to feel like a target
War, war, war, war
Going to war wit darkness
War 4x
I've become a monster
War 4x
What did I do to cause this
War 4x
[Theo]
But I'm
Not gon' bow to devil be a rebel to the world if it mean I'm on the level with my lord0
Revolutionary cross I carry for the poor
stick out like a bevel on a sword
Settle on a score, who's winning
That's the team I'm playing for
Asking why I'm bringing up these demons and Satan for
Cuz it glorify mighty God
cuz he made it all
Cuz it came straight from his mouth
cuz he spake it all
You rather say he allows;
Preordained that's what scripture
Say he doing, I mean did
What it matter anyway
He said he gave and said he give
Intercession through the spirit on earth and himself in the throne room
Preceding birth and while we live
We were cursed and still is
But so blessed I'll be perfect when I'm going soon
2x
You don't get it?
Living in a paradox
Walking on a river in the middle of a paradox
wetting up my paradox
Doing what He told me
Wetting up my pair of socks
Knowing he gon’ hold me
The only sin that's unforgivable is not believing
That Jesus defeated the death and evil just to free us
So the dragon gon have to leave and be beneath
because the faith is the thing his Grace will always keep

I just want your will to be done father, honestly I don’t even…
Whatever happens to me… whatever happens.
[Verse]
But pop I feel I'm made for more
But can't settle the score
Doors gon' open, if I’m pure when I'm hoping nope
Then the sores that I'm showing, though
Will testify that the holy ghost testifies of Jesus
And my life Aint alive
Unless I hide in Jesus
I will die for his prize
And thats that I can see him
But I'm not living like it
Filthy lucre filthy lucre
Adultery adultery
With no excuses
2x
Still lustin after pastors daughters
Jealous for destruction
Like I mastered the disorder
Of the madness
Mmm
Uhh
4X
At war with my passions
Or the devil, I'm a rebel
So I never know
But I still trust you,
no you'll never go
because you are perfect
And I'm worthless
But full of you so...
I don't know.
[Hook]
It's like I'm walking in a shadow
I don't see what I'm suppose to
See what I'm supposed to see
So when I'm looking in the mirror
When I reflect on the way I am
So I got to turn around
[Mayne]
I’m looking in this mirror and distorted pictures what I’m seeing
I’m a lost soul, but still I’m a human being
I’m battling my demons inside the mausoleum in my mind
But you see me and you think I’m doing fine
Well kinda sorta got a son and a daughter
And the purpose of ,my being is to raise and support you
But this is torture, no matter what I bought you
Won’t replace the time missing, that’s okay in this culture
You need your father, lord knows that I need you.
The lord’ll help me teach you how to be better people
I’ve made mistakes and I’m afraid that you’ll repeat them
So in your time of trouble I’m just praying that you’ll seek him.
Because I didn’t and I made the wrong decision
But through Jesus Christ all mistakes will be forgiven
But now I’m learning how to keep our souls from burning
That’s look in the bible and keep them pages turning.
Yeah…
Maybe sometimes I slip, maybe sometimes I fall
I don’t know what to grab onto
So please let it be… you.
Yeah…
Maybe sometimes I slip, maybe sometimes I fall
As long as I know what to grab onto
So please let it be… you.

Shuffle the deck
Then I cut you
First draw, I bust you
Crushed you
Bomb these busters
Adjustments
Bring the judgment
Homie going hard when he run @#$%
Call me the Grand Czar can't be ducked with
What they know though,
Strong living long like my logo
Sleeping like a yoyo on the low though
Flash the camera for a photo,
Or come witness the greatness on your go pro,
My so mean,
With the dopest team, sweep the whole coast this year,
Posted mean, like we would put you where the ghosts live,
Loving the cake like i was raised only on hostesses,
Don't hate me, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to kid,
Going hard, like I should leave these players posterized
Hopeless eyes, I hate to be the one these dudes despise
Don't be a hater just lease the gators and Invoke the fly
To be the best and lead the rest, if so help me God
[Theo]
So much on my heartmind
I'm fighting myself so I can die
So I can live unapart from God
Call me odd
Even though I'm falling I
Know, he's always all in --
To lift me and forgive me
And purify me of all sin
But y’all don't want me witnessing
Trying get you involved with him
Telling you you guilty
Denying you owe it all to him.
Telling you he died for you
Recognize you still robbing him
Act like you don't see him
--Eat his food and then lie to him
Sky gon’ crack
You’ll recognize him then,
just like you can see now
And read his lips they mouth repent
Repentance equals dependence
The first step is admittance
Obey it as it was written
And don't listen to pish that I say
[Lindseypop]
He’s so prolific, kick down doors when he enters
sonning all your mentors ain’t no need for metaphors
I let it pour, speaking in pain --- lyrics drive you (bang) insane
you young crash dummies is funny, my daughter fly so (bang) I’m bummy
but at the same time, I’m stunting, your mom’ll do a double take
I bubble great and huddle cake
They fake, fake, fake.
(They fake)
That pressure come on, they bodies start to shake
turn on that beat, then here come the lies
all the burners and the pies
because then they eyes open wide when a bang really dies
nightmares and the screams of his momma when she dies
and I apologize for giving you the real.
Rhyme equal actual life, and actually I live forever
these bars I spit, no matter how hard it get
I’m going to conquer this bang
the songs I spit legit
so make a habit to inhabit better have it,
so at least we crafty, just know you can’t pass me
because you gon’ stay ashy and bummy, your whole situation is crummy
The bang I drop, you bangs feast on dummy.
[Tone]
Good brother
Dont mind your heart
trying to tell u this heart of mine
Naw
I aint trying to mind no more
My mind cant comply no more
I want the truth
I dont want to lie no more
Good book is where truth lie galore
See The bible got the truth in abundance
We all in this race
Im just trying to tell u who run it.
Son of a gun
N Forever He gunning
Oh u bad
With the biggest burner
Let me tell u bout ma Dad
how He good.
judge all bad
Truly
with His biggest burner.
Fiery lake of that burning sulfur
yet it aint all He got to offer
Got those streams of that living water.
Glory to God
because where I hide
is in His name
I have no shame
hiding in His shadow
doing good things.
Dying to this game
Living for the Father
Becoming the tree of life
Forgetting the trees of knowledge.
I know y'all b in college
For to set the mind on the flesh
is death indeed.
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
But we do it for His gain
But we Do it for His fame
Yea we do it for His name.
In Him there is no sorrow
But got to wait for
tomorrow.

[John Piper]
Because sin has such a power over our lives that it takes our minds and it takes our hearts and it just shrivels them up. So we have no capacity to enjoy God. No capacity to marvel at grace and salvation and the new heavens and the new earth and tears being taken away by king Jesus some day. And all we can get excited about is troughs and trifles in our lives; that’s sin. That’s a disease, that’s a horrible, horrible disease that grips most people in the world. And if you’re one of them, you should just be whispering right now, because just a thought; I mean just a little thought will make it clear that if you’re more excited about a trough you’ve got than a canyon God dug, you’re sick. And you should pray, “O God, heal me! Give taste buds to the tongue of my soul.” Don’t be like the person who goes with the little garden shovel to the grand canyon, stands on the precipice of that majesty, turns his back on it, kneels down, and digs a little trough in the ground and says to all of his friends, “Hey, come here! Look at this. Look at my trough. Isn’t this cool? Look at my trough.”

Pause, not a real pause. But its kind of a pause.

They keep telling me it’s spiritual
3x
I believe in miracles
I’m thinking they don’t hear me though
They keep telling me it’s spiritual.
Stereotypes of a paragon life
Theo mysterio, maybe y’all right.
Take advantage of me, play me all night.
Repeat three, four times, more rhymes
I’ll be your mentor like Zordon if He uses me
To speak to your mind
Meeker in mine in sure time
Sure sign of a holy work (dot dot dot) pure grind
Be more than morons
Making peace at war time
Trying to find more calm
Only dark before dawn
Until the sun comes, what you going to do with your shine
Be mortified ask for more signs, or whine
I don’t know what you’re doing
But I know for sure I’ll
Worship to the glory of the lord
For his sure triumph
Christ is a soul winner
And I’m trying to find a new heart
For the holy spirit to enter
So right now I’m being ripped apart
Death to the true sinner
No longer being gripped by dark
Moved with renewed vigor
Being carried on wings, ain’t no way that I can miss my mark
The father kept me on his path leading straight to the true center
Of his will, since he spoke
I been thrilled and I been killed with no reproach
He was spilled for my resolve
And I still deny what’s real and I’m not cut off
Can’t conceal the things I feel, but I can go to war
With me trying to steal or be a murderer
Study the art of love
Exhibition lived out by the son of god
If you want to see the other side.

He said if own love you
I lack the love of God
But I don't know what to do
At times I want to run and hide
there's something better than succumbing to another's pride
Or smacking you back down to your size, its more fun to die
That's why I'm trying fight to death
To put my self aside
God first me last that's the motto advertised
Real love would cherish you
And act Like you belong to god
So I should put your liberation
Over being gratified
If I loved you girl
My life would definitely show you
Do more for you girl
Be a testimony
Show you baby
And you would probably hate me
But if I loved you ill adjust just because
But I'm a snake and a rat.
Love you into
But if I really loved you
I was just worried bout myself my soul and my sanctification
Serving the saints and the globe
And the progress I make with the nation
Just like the missionaries who go
and forget they unsaved neighbors
I was Trying to serve God by leaving you to go out and sing to patients
So stupid, I'm stupid
In my zeal for God I forgot about you And
moved so fast
To try to be new and didn't notice
I was neglecting my duties
But truth is, I'm just ruthless
Had more love for progress and movement, than trying stay yoked to you going through what you go through and helping you move what you moving

The sun be darkened the moon be darkened and all of the stars will
From the sky,
Galaxies shaking
God forsaken
Much of us taken, I don't know why
The king of kings seen coming in the clouds
Whoever loves pleasure is poor
He who has less has more
Perish in fire
You cannot survive lest you
Ask that Lord, unlatch that door
open yourself up
To the path that's yours
He'll come in and indwell everlasting
Underneath all your masks straight pass that core the quickening
Phantasm will fasten
no man know the hour
So I'm gon’ wait for --
While they carry on
Act so informal
See him coming clouds
with power and great glory
Have you running all-around
in horror and great mourning
--Sending all a angels to gather his saints for him
When that trumpet blow
his people We come pouring
Purposely forget he flooded the earth wit water
This time gon’ be fire you better follow his orders
He said live holy
spotless until that day
But if every man's a sinner
--How we suppose to pray
If we confess our faults
Christ take those away
Clean us up and wipe us off
And send us all back out to play
But make sure you got the right Christ
because it's a lot that follow Jesus antichrist and best believe people he is not life
He Is death itself
he'll lead you straight to hell
With power sex and wealth
And I bet you can't protect yourself
You need the one and only Jesus of the bible
--I'll see you there because I plan to be alive too.
At the cross bowing...
[Lindseypop]
Mmmmmm…..
It’s coming and it’s going to be no other place you can go
He gave you all everything but you still didn’t choose him though
Too blinded by earthly things, but you can’t take them with you, though
last chance to take a stand or you’re going to fall way below.
There’s a war on outside
because that day coming and them horns blaring
No Coltrane just hot flames,
when that sky crack and that star falls
Burn a hole through your front lawn
Them knees buckle, grown men gon’ cry
And all the ones that just turned they back gon’
wan’ die from that one sting
It’s six more, still gon’ sing
Rivers of blood
all winds gon’ cease
birds fall, planes crash, can’t recall the sights that we gon’ capture
So I pray to God, I get caught in the raptu---

Power (Snippet)

He got the power to bring flowers out the dirt
The power to just follow when he knows he should be first
The strength to convince evil men
Stuck in sin to forsake they own kin just for him and his work
Almighty.
Alrighty
He's why I see men by, and I take them all lightly.
at the end of the season
They all bleed
they all need
And they all die (cease)
just like me
But thank God because he give us his name
And in His eyes us and him are the same
We his only sons.
we suppose share in his power and pain
Just recognize and rely on his strength
He is the holy one
(… but walk in love, though)

Then I saw the new heavens and the new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a voice, a great voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. And he will be with them, and they will be his people. And God, himself, will be among them. And he will wipe away every tear from their faces. And death will be no more. Neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
And as I’m driving, I’m seeing everything in relation to this great and glorious coming reality. The grass is going to be new. The grain elevators are going to be new. McDonalds, Burger King, the construction equipment at the new tunnel. It’s all going to be new. And I’m just basking in the brevity of this world, the surety of the age to come, the glory of God being here, all my tears—all my frustrations—all my disappointments, all my depressions, and all my aches gone forever, and everything made new in a new heaven and a new earth that will put this one into the shadow.

Dude, while the emotion is still here before I go, uhh, I guess get wasted. Umm… yeah… So… me sitting there telling you how I actually felt about the track, about you singing on it and whatnot. That’s the first time. That I was sitting here, I can’t say just being honest with an artist but an artist that I guess I’m uhhh… an artist that I’m a friend of, brothers… (laughs)
[Theo]
blessed to say I’m better
Than I was yesterday
But I still got to go
The whole rest of the way
Confessing of the spirit
Whose investing in me
Saved already but Not yet
Who I'm destined to be
The process begun it's just
I'm far from moving in the express
Got to burn away the excess
But it just feel like depression to me
Anticipate the next step
But then life switch direction
Being delivered from the death of flesh,
every test is a lesson to me
Embarking on this conquest
To Christify my intellect
To sanctify my being
Beginning with what's in my chest
But depending on the risen king
So when we meet I might seem wise
But once you get to know me watch and learn that I’m a hypocrite
In the Procedure being revised
obvious
That the father isn't finished yet.
Not with me, but evil is, though it's not in me.
I’m new creation
Ain't no cropping me
Or
Making me better, I'd rather be fresh
Straight baby out the shower holler peace to the death
I was called, so I left.
Getting closer to my father every step
And farther from the death
Working like some slaves but we got rest
[BF]
… uhhh, because you know like—before my crowd was—you know, when I was Deejaying—my crowd was catered toward this voice, so no. You know like it’s not for me, I don’t like it. You know? So, it’s been easy to be a “no” man, you know. Never a “yes” man. … … … Umm but like, right there I just gave you like, you know, a genuine response. Just like, “Man, Dag, I can’t wait to see what he does with it,” you know because I want to see you get better at singing you know? I want you to just kill it. So… Yeah… so I gave you my honest opinion of that, where it’s like, “Yo man, dag… ” (laughs) … Nah, I didn’t do it fully, but I can’t wait to see when you can do it, what you gon’ do with it. You know what I’m saying kind of thing. Umm… so keep on working on it man. Love you. See you. … (click)

Why lie to myself, why lie to my friends?

Why lie to myself?
[Verse]
Why lie to myself
Why lie to my friends
Why lie about everything I’m feeling
I’m a sinner
I’d be lying if I told you anything differently
Why am I walking around falling, sin after sin
While he who is holy has died for the win.
Take that!
Let’s reflect for a minute
Praise be to God
Praise be to God
How you gon’ act when your faced with the sin
for someone that you barely know.
Would you greet them like a friend, make them feel welcome
Or would you just put on a show
I know what I’d do but it depends on who
because I just now got this dough
Share it I will break bread with no fear, because these are the laws of my Lord.

Nope,
Y'all ain't got no loving hope,
LFE too loving dope,
This is too loving real,
Got shorty got stuck on the stroke,

Cause I hit them with the flex,
And I ain't talking bout sex,
I got the technique,
Man i hit them with a check,
I don't even give the cash out,
Although she give the sass out,
I pass off,
And hit her above the neck,
With knowledge,
I ain't even finish college,
I know what I need to know,
To get polished,
In my soul,
Word,
I know y'all all done heard,
If not then y'all know that y'all should,
And i'm good,
At least I try to be be,
And try to play my part while I’m living through this prophecy
They try to make me follow eves,
Man I just follow the,
Word
This scene this just too tough and mean,
I just want to get up and leave, (kamikaze life)
Escape from the scene,
At least do some work before I leave,
But they don't here me though, (x3)
But they got to feel this brother up in stereo.

Ya!
Yeah… I’m bout to tell y’all how to live forever. These the instructions.
lfe, lfe,
Telling me yell at me
Mask it with adages
madness and revelry
Every lesson expressing best to me
Blessing arresting expecting no less of me
Jesus, Jesus
That's whose impressing me
So I'm impressing you
Until he’s collecting you
I.am his legacy
He is my destiny
So I'm bout to tell you bout his life.
Let's get it
He arrived
new baby on the scene
But he is God
even though he didn't seem
He had the power
Used it save his team
even when they tried hate because he was clean
Even when we tried to hate because he was king
He filled a our stomachs and healed all our unrest
Sight to the blind
Peace to the poor
Offered atonement
to those who don't want it
Might to the mind
Of he who is sure
That he is the son of God
Predicted over five
thousand years ago
To condescend come and die
Free all the captives
And Preach to the poor
heal all the hurting get beat to the floor
Flogged at the alter and scourged at the door
Hung in the gate
Nail in his wrist
Hung at the gate
Nail in his wrist
Nail in his foot
Body was broken so we could be fixed
Blood was poured out for remission of sins!
Tetelestai paid in full this the end.
[Hook]
