What’s the state of the art...
I’m talking Hip hop music, the beauty of beats and rhymes
The streets in line with rhythm that captures the prison and freedom and laughter of masters
With the watered down sound that is now, I am bothered and down, it is wack
Put some mumbling in the track and call it rap, I’m knowing it ain’t that
How you do that over there, I’m over it, kid you tore the gift...
Up...take it back like DMC up in the truck, RUN...
back to the art...I prefer to paint that, picture of a culture that’s still authentic and powerful
I just got some spit to switch the power to, Glory to God when I power through...uh
"Rhymes I learned to earn, cause I’m righteous
I feel great, so maybe I might just"
S/O to the goat Rakim, and all the pioneers that’s diamonds, hear
LL, Tribe, OutKast when they rhyming and take me back to a time when
Hip hop was fresh like a new release tape to play on my walkman
Don’t talk man...if you got nothing to say for the block man
That’s why I gotta hit the microphone check, 1 2, what is this
Peace to Phife, Peace of Life, Life’s my witness, Life's my witness.

Heaven
Peace, Jesus captured me and actively bled
Hit the red pen, the kid is writing love to my kin
Peace my family, I’m randomly dismantling lies
Butterflies for my Savior, grace change my behavior
This is major, telling people’s from the booth to the roof
Heavens truth, rock a hoodie with some goodies to prove
I’m in the building, born again, a citizen Dunn
Sin is done, flip the paragraph like graphics to run
1 Pictured here a mister, scripts is written, got a mister spittin
Looking forward to the vision, gold streets is sober wisdom
I’m over days that got a worlds perspective, girls and parties
Go get my wife and daughters, love and loyalty regarding
Whatever jewels are really really the fab
Whatever value is eternal, dopest notes in my journal
I’m into burning through these dope papers, pages of the wrote name of
Christ the illest, Word of God, Bible’s prophesied Messiah
Holy Ghost fire, kill it til I broke wires
Microphone is smoked, devil chokin on the dope sniper
Pop the bullet off in Jesus name and broke his frame
Snap the neck and crush the head, the snake is dead, remain
Up in the presence of the mighty, My God
His Throne in Heaven, King of everything, the breath of the head nod
Heaven rock with me, holler up to Pop, don’t stop with me
Hit the block, sure shot, Peace to Hip Hop with me
Rock with me cause we doing it well
Take em out of hell, Heavens got a story to tell
What you think this is dunny, games of the wack
Like it’s rap for the masses, and commercially lax
I’ma max out the vocals, pumping breath to the locals
Take it global, peace Uganda, holler at me Wakanda
I’m a dope emcee, since the rhythm provoked
Been in love with rhymes, been up in this vision of mine
I can climb up out the gutter and do butter and steak
Or just sit up with my peoples, fall in love with a break
Beat snapping on them heads, love to Tobes, the illest
Kids the realest, what the deal is, boom bap of a chemist
Write a sentence to this world, get a paragraph strong
Ain’t no bong needed homie I get high in a song
Learned to rhyme from Rakim, but the spirit is God’s
Take the lyrical that’s spiritual and break the facade
Weak is repping everything that is the bread of the flesh
Catch a vest, righteousness, I’m writing Heaven and blessed
All my rhymesayers, nows the time to listen, divine
Will is calling you to fall in love with truth in your rhymes
Take the proof of Jesus resurrection, witnesses wrote
Time to eye it, conquered hell, get at the source of your dope
Most of all your life is laden with these burdens and broke
God’s the healer and forgiver, Heavens river of hope
Come alive, stunning microphones and shunning my pride
Done with time spent on nothing but a stunt to get high
Superficial days, ended with the guillotines blade
It’s official, cut it off, it’s officially tossed
Resurrected from the ground, get inspected, the sound
You can check the record pressing by perfectionist nouns
Rhymes are effortless like never ending life for the saved
Full of grace, ice and heat to heal the knife of these days
World is gritty, and I know it, but it ain’t where it ends
clean to win, pain is everywhere the savior begins
Sins the liar, drop deception in the brim of the fire
Hard wired to get higher like I’m flying, a pilot
Up to Heaven, me and brethren in that royalty line
Wrote a album full of loyalty lines, I gets mine

You seen this new cat hangin in the underground?
That got the thunder sound, His identity a wonder now…
I seen Him walk into the room, make a mic croon
And it was magic how He boom in a nice tune
Son was hittin like a gladiator, spittin swords
I seen His tongue roar, blaze like a dope tour
conquer tracks, like the music was His slave that
beat the heads, He would battle and would slay cats
Never say curse words in a verse served
hit nerves like a verb with His first words
captivate heads, eyes on His face red
fire shining in His glare at the bass heads
and we just watched, couldn’t move, we was froze still
look of beauty when he spilled, with a pose ill
I been around emcees with mad frequency
However never have I seen such mastery
Yo what His name kid, give us a clue
Who was His crew, and tell us where he’s from kid, too
I’m telling you, I’m unsure, but searching for news
All I know is that He came, now my life has changed
we used to rock it Friday night at the mic club
heads was cyphering to mugs, even hype thugs
you drug a new emcee into the spotlight
he better spit right, the damage better rip nice
we had this cat who had never lost a fight rhyme
in a freestyle, written, or in poetic time
until the friday of the fullest moon, dark eve
this homie unknown hit, and let a challenge breathe
kid was lacin every beat on the drum track
in fact he blew the speakers out, melted dunn’s wax
the mic was burning like its sulphur with heat waves
was steady cracklin the stage, makin beats cave
the undefeated was embarrassed with a froze face
looking mesmerized and asking for a Son’s grace
the current champion was stunned, never rapped back
and yo the challenger was crowned with a mass clap
After the battle heads was gathering to stress man
like they was checkin for a hand from a blessed man
kids was wading through the crowd trying to see Son
It’s just One, but the fire made the breed come
He held a microphone with strength, like a King should
a shine like diamond in the ruff, like a ring would
the kid had started to the door, heads had asked more
He let an encore pour, and split the club floor
The roof was smoking from internal where the blaze kept
and eyes was gazed at the Champion who played def
Hip Hop had changed, in the matter of a glimpse, brains
was concentrated on the name, Son of God came
He set His eyes on heads and every knee bowed
Every dunn up in the joint, like a moved crowd
The One who reigned just turned and said “I’m TM
and you can find me in your soul, cause I free men”

Sitting on a park bench, looking ahead
What I said, I’m eyeing it, I’m trying to find it kid
My life going forward is a storm and a sea
Black clouds or the Son in me, I’m writing the canvas
I’m standing, walk up to the bus in a rush
Gotta crush time, cause time ain’t got enough of it, bust it
I’m writing rhymes seeing glory over stages and fools
Paying money just to pay me with some cheese and a spread
Talk of death up in my pen, and yo they lappin it up
What the cuffs, you got em when they listening up
Make it rough, I’m the ruler of this life and it’s mine
Got a dime who be killin it, and plus got a nine
Chicks fine, my mama she was telling me, son
Life’s a flash, what you make of it will break you or make you
Living fast, it won’t break me, I’ma make it my own
Millionaire with a million stairs, familiar moans
Pimpin pimpin, it’s simple, sell the violent song
Sex my violet colored violin, the high of my bong
Peace to gangstas gettin money, slap the back of the dummies
Soak up riches like some honey, sit with licorice lovelies
All about me, I’m kinging, I’m a youngin that’s bold
Stay cold, that way I’m in the shade when I’m old
Sippin pride like I was pissin on a piece of the pie
Pie is every piece, I got it, ain’t no lack, I’m the mack
Heard a preacher teaching scripture, said what good is it son,
To gain the world and lose your soul, don’t be a foo-olish one
So yo I’m some kind of simple minded, taking the bait
You can wait with that, I’m breaking to the gate with a plate
Get it now, nothing’s promised but the steel and a day
I meet my maker, but not taking, I’m a rock, not clay
You can’t mold me, hold me homie, get my back when they come
Hey yo the devil’s got a gun, it’s pointed at me, I’m done
Sitting on a park bench, looking ahead
What I said, I’m eyeing it, I’m trying to find it kid
My life going forward is a storm and a sea
Black clouds or the Son in me, I’m writing the canvas
I’m standing, walk up to the bus in a rush
Gotta crush time, cause time ain’t got enough of it, bust it
I’m writing rhymes, see this homie in the back with a cap
had a white box and red circle, the rest of it black
Had a 1 and an L inside the circle so I
Was curious, so asked the question, what it stand for son
He said it’s One Love, he said he was a pastor and rapper
I said ok, you Christian then, you got some dope in your pen?
He said it’s only dope cause Holy Ghost has pressed to the heart
God’s Word, and then he spit it and he blessed us with art
I spit a verse and we got illy with them lyrical sprays
The passengers, was hey, rocking in that old school way
The golden age was represented, boom bap had its day
And then we hit the stop, and both of us was headed that way
He said my dude, what you know about that dying to live
I’m like I’m not knowing what you talking bout, spit it out
Then he proceeded to get raw, drop the gospel of Christ
The gospel of life, he told me it was faith and it’s grace
I said I’m hearing you, but kid I’m on that spit for the cash
All this gospel preaching teaching me, but give me it fast
He said it’s Jesus bleeding dying buried raising for you
And even though you gettin money, it’s just death in the end
He said my friend, God loves you in your darkest of ways
And He’s just waiting, walk from Satan, come to Jesus today
It caught me up, knuckles broken from the life I had lived
I asked forgiveness, Jesus healed me, started molding me homie
I left the black clouds, got born again, The Son in me dunn
Hey yo the devils got a gun, but Jesus badder, I won

One Nine

Let me get it one time, One Nine in the building
Keep it real then, make it ill, God’s children
All my people in the place to be
Put your peace up, we celebrating victory
Put your peace up, eliminate the grief of the stuck
I’m reaching what, people sleeping in the deep of the muck
And mire, devil got retired when he tempted The King
I rep The King, rep The Master til He get me to rapture
Hit the ghetto blaster, One Nine the strength of His kind
I’m courageous and He’s changing never, keep me in line
Joshua 1:9 when a poet rebelled
Grab the microphone and rock the bells, flow to the Well
What you saying for, you a rebel, what it’s for, rebel yell
I’m a rebel to the world, smack the devil to the floor
Say it more, power of The Spirit in my rhymes
Pray in tongues to take a shower in His mind, Word of God
I’m a Menace to the microphone, I rock like golden age
Underground can get to clapping cause I rage, to the page
Lyrics chopping up these ways of mumble rappers, break the lock
setting emcees to free to rock, and it just don’t stop!
Grab the microphone and hit the streets, spit to the beat
Speak the victory that’s given me in Christ, word life
That’s my word, That’s His Word, Word, speak the word, live it
Hit the pivot getting live with it, that’s cause we alive with it
Party people know the blood of the matter
Blood splattered on a cross, and it shattered all evil chatter
Sin was lost, sickness tossed, it was nailed,
Devil failed, out of jail, we prevailed, Jesus hailed
King, what I’m saying, spraying praise up to His name
Switch your mind frame, break the prison bars and the chains
I was scarred in the rain, going hard in my pain
But He reigns, and because of that I’m star in His name
No more broken days, I’m over ways that leave me in a cage
What you seeing now is revelations ways, full of blaze
One Nine is my adopted name, get it, one time
One rhyme, all of God’s people, let it shine

Lyrical vs. The Beat
03:24
|
|

This is what we came for, what we play the game for
Battle rap, boom bap, make the trunk rattle cats
Introducing Mr. Lyrical first
Tell us why you are the greatest on this hip hop earth
I’m the choice of a million and the voice of a mouth
Spit me out, hit domes when I’m written to shout
Clout of emcees, and verbally a vision to seize
If you ain’t got me, you rocking only if you in seas
Please base drum, your thumping is invalid from birth
Until I lace you, valid with my Ballad of words
You want kingship and platinum, well listen to me
Ain’t no heart changed without what I’m sipping to breathe
Hip Hop universal, with the verse of an ill
But rap music is the sick, what I’m spitting the pill
It ain’t real, if heads is the only thing rung
What is said, cats quoting off the heat of a tongue
You ain’t beat, unless I give your name a face
I got the eyes, while you sleeping, I’m a-blaze with grace
Forever place, motivation in the race of a man
Uplift cats with rap when I’m stating a jam
Two hands, high praise who has given the root
I’m the fruit, spoke rhetoric to raise the roof
God said, it is written, got me open to preach
Reach maximum, minimum is strictly a beat
You need me, only captivate when feeding a mind
I breed mine, son’s lyrical with miracle rhymes
This is what we came for, what we play the game for
Battle rap, boom bap, make the trunk rattle cats
The Beat about to grab the M-I-C
Make your case and tell us why you are the true OG
Uhh, heads pierce when I’m beating a drum
Got years neck breaking when I’m lacing your tongue
Mic fears? I’m the one who put the smile to your tears
Back up, catch the slack when you acting a pup
Main dawg, kick drum make the music supreme
Cats is copping phat amps for the blast I’ma bring
Young teenage, just got the ride of his dreams
Be a fiend for my boom when it’s sonic and clean
Shake rooms, break tunes, put the dope in a joint
You on point? Only spitting when I’m hitting your point
You can’t hold, I make records bang in a spot
B-boys make it pop-lock the ‘ro’ in a ‘bot’
Spin rhymes, emcees be embracing my time
Signature, say my name when you facing a line
Wrap heads like a towel with the bowel of a grunt
Funk shatter punks, ‘roar’ like a lion at lunch
I ain’t lying, why you think the underground is caved
I rock avalanche, mountain coming down in a rage
Don’t get it twisted, I’m vital to the title of Dre
If I was letters, you’d call me ‘BWA’
I’m plain better, to sweaters of the lyrical cat
I got the hat, phat crown for the beat of a rap
This is what we came for, what we play the game for
Battle rap, boom bap, make the trunk rattle cats
Legendary Lyrical or The Beat
What’s the illest part of Hip Hop, what makes it unique
It’s the art of it that keeps the authenticity real
Check the heart of it, the authors of the mass appeal
God’s music, time to use it for His glory and shine
Check the story, allegory to the core of the rhyme

I’m seeing a lack of love and loyalty these days
And I can’t act like the majority, my priority is change
Over my pours I be, pouring over these scores of sheets
I’m imploring grief to turn into joy, my feet deep in the gospel of peace
Where’s the beef...running from hope and commitment
Marriages broken over a relentless attitude that’s on that ‘I ain’t in love with you no more’ stuff
That’s rough, act like the vows are handcuffs and you can’t stand up
But you stood up in front of the crowd when your hands touched
Them rings ain’t really nothing without your souls and hearts
Might as well put a thing around your parts to keep from tearing families apart
My family’s my heart, rap like I’m desperate to write cause I’m like I...
Can’t take two nights in the shade, it’s cold and I need light to warm my face
That’s God’s Grace, that’s my wife and my 4, 2 boys and 2 girls, life kept by scores of angels
Psalm 91, my palms hold a promise so I rock bold and honest
Sold out to be so loud that I ain’t never leaving my post, I’m never knocked out, I’m never done, I’m never done, I'm never done...
I’ll never run.

Hey yo Chicago, saw your profile pic, the real of it
Pretty dark brown on my screen, I mean, how I get
To get to know you, read the words of your heart
It’s 2015, a dating site was playing its part
We start to convo, got the digits after we rapped a little
Message you, you message me, we might as well laugh a little
We get to talking 7-7 began
It’s like the perfect number holding up the work of His hands
And after that, since we was a distance apart
From St. Louis to the Chi which made the vision an art
We on the phone until like 3 am, no mention of creepin
It’s getting deep, the talking to you got us missing our sleep then
Neither one of us was caring, sharing dreams and a dial
You are my dream, and you goin always be my reason to smile
I’m cheesy with it cause my wheezy is a breezy so bad
She keep me looking like I’ve never looked, my reason to brag
It’s that pretty brown, brown
Brown eyes, brown skin
Brown come around me, I found you, we found Him
My wife, my rose, God’s grace in my life
Act right, give me a kiss baby, its black-white
It’s All life, all butta, all love,
It’s all love, I love you my queen, I’m feeling all bugged
I’m so true, love and loyalty boo
It’s all you, down forever, til we get to the blue
Back and forth loving, hit the road, go running
To my love, wheels to pavement with the grace of The Dove
Your face is love, no replacing it, unique to your bones
I’m in the zone like I was Michael Jordan, freakin the clones
Our first date was real, city of the windy at night
Walking down the Ave Michigan, so pretty that night
You’re pretty at sight, you captivated, had me so faded
I’m seeing future when I saw your present, bad in the light
Kaboom, had me crooning off the dope in the room
It was your presence, fragrance, essence, had my hope to the moon
I’m scoping room that you was given me, you sharing your time
Was like a dime seeing nickels, I was blessed to my chest
My heart beating, kiss you there over the water, I’m done
I’m like a shooting star that’s really far from where I was from
Over the planets, trying to manage my emotions for real
Here go the deal, Pretty Brown you got that Saturn appeal
Got a ring, ring you up, we engaged to be wed
My Dream girl, you’re my world, take my heart and be part
All my life, I’ve prayed, I’m a Jodeci head
Forever ever you’re my lady, come and talk to me T
I’m hearing pretty birds, singing to me, when you around
You’re voice is silky like some Sade, operator is smooth
No ordinary love, peace and mercy, flirt with you cause you is worth it
Every ounce of my imperfect being, is perfectly with purpose
I’ll serve you, love you through the joy and tissues, I got issues
But every burden He has taken from us, placed before us
Every blessing of the blood of the cross
Satan lost, we got freedom to get free to get off
Into our love, wedding happened, Mrs. Brawner we’re One
Got some babies, had a baby in the grace of The Son
I promise you my love and loyalty, I’m honored to ride
Love inside, shut the door, JD is off to my bride

Daddy this is Kiki. I wanted to say thank you, because we know how much you love us. You wrote that first song for Gabi and I, and I, love you for it. This is the 2nd version of your song, it keeps going on. You see there’s 4 of us now, 2 girls and 2 boys, and we know we are your world, we know we are your heart. We love you too Daddy. We love you too...now here is Daddy Loves You, Two...
Hey yo GR-EY, Apple of your Daddy’s eye
Dapper gentleman, handsome little man, Spider-Man
Superman has got your back, Hulk smash, Black Panther
You’re my super hero cause your heart just makes your Dad stand up
Salute the love and loyalty in your smile
I see you loving Mommy, Noly and your sisters and I
It’s your affection that’s a blessing to the people you move
A little leader stepping into who, God made you
To be a king with everything that gives His grace to the world
Jesus in you, teaching you, He is His grace to the world
Raise you up, a man of praise, take this mantle of praise
Pass it to you, rapper activated, handle my race
From a father to my son, in the Father and Son
Holy Ghost the one powering the family bloodlines, uh
Your laugh just makes me laugh, had to tell the paragraph
My son you’re caring and your spirit got me Blaire-in raps
You get it? That’s your middle name, needs a little fame
Forever always on my brain, and the picture frame
You got me writing, I be beaming to rhyme
It is the motivating feeling of this heater of mine
Daddy Loves you, only God is above you
My loves true, babies this is Daddy, I love you
I told you, He would never leave or forsake you
He's with you, even when your Daddy's without you
Hey yo NO-LY, Daddy’s baby B-O-Y
You just made your Daddy cry, beautiful imagined life
I’m older now and didn’t know I’d see your baby blues
Eyes that shake the room, Smile that say God’s got His hand on you
Man, my little king, got me singing to you, writing songs
Hold you when you crying, son there’s nothing wrong, holding strong
Family perfect finished, me and mommy see the gift you are
Mister star, Jesus is the giver, you’re a mister’s heart
I can take these lyrics, paint em up with poetry and flow
But they cannot capture what I know, how you make me grow
Sometimes it’s the blessing that makes men of God get blessing God
Son you make me praise Him like I’m pressing hard, my stress is gone
Free to say He’s brought me from a mighty long way
Double portion and your presence is the evidence of faith
Raise you to do what I’m doing, what your Daddy’s doing now
All to Jesus I surrender, I’m suspended in the clouds
Here on earth just like it’s heaven, it’s His will that we abound
Nolan you are the expression of my sound, play it loud
Let the speakers hit the block to let em see Your Daddy shine
To my son, I love you more than rhymes, read between the lines
Fathers honor code, got me in Parana mode, chewing tracks
Passion makes my rhythm hit with claps, it’s these burning raps
I gets it hotter cause I’m so in love with Grey and Noly
Flip the phony, givin y’all the real like living Holy
Train you in the ways of Abba Father, staying in His Word
Missing fathers, that’s absurd, I be spraying for that change
Peace to real men being faithful, though it’s hateful in the rain
But no matter where you are in life, we skating over pain
Jesus healed me, He’s your healer and forgiver, in His name
To the throne of Daddy, conquerors who stay up in His face
You’re my champions my sons, stunning how my heart and soul
Keep me warm with love forever, reason why my love is BOLD, yo!

Hey yo I just had to tell you, I've been feeling this way
And though my life's been changed forever-ever, really I'm saved
I've learned to trust my King Jesus, every Word that you say
I'll tell em bout my pain but also that I'm healed by your grace
Ima bring it gritty, but keep it real clean
Ima set my pain up on the guillotine, kill it, na’mean?
On my life, I’m writing from a saved state of mind
Wouldn’t cry if I didn’t put my Healer in the rhyme
Came home, hug my moms and, head downstairs
Been away at college, since I been away I didn’t take the knowledge
Daddy’s cancer had him medicined up
What the cuffs, the chemo eating breathing and sleeping
I seen him sitting on the couch, I was quiet and froze
Sat down at the other end, I’m trying to hold
It together but the weather got so dark in the room
Started crying eyeing Daddy, it was sharp to my wounds
Cold tears like I’ve never feared, I couldn’t imagine
Strong father was a fraction after treatment had happened
Dad was shrunk up in his cheekbones, shrunk to the core
Oh my Lord, I’m balling, hit my face on the floor
All my life, I never ever seen him be a skeleton
The hell he’s in, got me yelling telling him I’m scared to look
He said Josh what’s wrong, I am ok
I am doing good, I am just relying on grace
In my face, what you see is after effects
It was after breaths that I finally took that I could hear him see him feel him
What you do when everything just change
When everything that made what’s true just break, you could lose your brain
Now I’m lame, his frame so frail, won’t forget the day
That I saw my Daddy struggling to fight, struggling for life
He died so young he never saw my kids
That’s some pain that make a man wanna call my kids
Tell em I am gonna love you til the day I fly
Til the day I see my Jesus, He is Adonai
Same day I see my Daddy in the arms of The King
I could never bear my scars unless I saw my King
He came home, I was hurting from the chemo and drained
Gotta stone brain, I’m trying to make the best of the pain
Heard my first born say hi to mom, greet her and walk
Down the stairs, I’m aware he hasn’t seen me so broke
He walked in, I was glad to see he was here
Missed him terribly, he stared at me and glared with a fear
I had never seen, but I just said hello to my son
He separated from me, silently was eyeing me stunned
Was another minute, nothing ever came out his mouth
Then he started crying, balling, falling, I was concerned
I said what’s wrong Josh, are you ok, what is the matter
Why you shattered, I’m in God’s hands, and hugged him and cried
I never showed it in my eyes but in his eyes he was lost
Everything changed, he looked like he was feeling my pain
Had his mommy and his daddy diagnosed, same year
And though his mom was doing better he lost hope in his tears
I just hope a parent never has to see what I saw
It breaks a man to see his children torn, face to the floor
I went on to heaven praying for my son to be healed
Death can choke you, but the resurrection severs its power
All my life I lived to see my kids protected and warm
But the devil came to wreck it, took my breath in the storm
I’m with Jesus now and know His arms like never before
Pray my children knowing Jesus arms, stay in His calm
Peace is y’alls, victory and healing, deep in the psalms
That’s His Word, get His Word up in you, let it become
All you think about, your meditation kept in The Son
Jesus wept but healed His people, death’s defeated, we won
Deaths defeated we won...I was depleted in need of the Son
You never got to know your son as a man, we never walked
Talking bout life and outlining parks with victory talk
I never told you I forgive you, but I forgive you and love
You forever, I’m a grown man with a healer that does
Take a nightmare and make it what can reach to they souls
You didn’t bring the nightmare God, you bring me peace to my soul
And Daddy you and Uncle Dave together now at the throne
And what you told him on this earth has happened, your oldest has grown
Into a man that’s praising Jesus with every breath that I breathe
They see His life in me, they saw it like the tat on my sleeve
I might just finally be grieving with this song in the booth
I stayed the strongest, strong for Mom, Patrick and Sissy, my truth
But when I’m weakest, Jesus strength in me is greatest to rock
I took this microphone and told em, Jehovah Rapha’s my Pop

Break these mumble raps and put em in a bag, take em out the back
Light a dumpster fire for them rats, call em jungle snacks
eating, breathing, being hip hop, we’ve had enough of that
BOOM BAP banging in your ears, we them jungle cats
Murder tracks, sure to bring the order with them burner raps
Learner earn a hip hop Master’s after smacking actors
What’s the laughter in the building, it’s real
I been the benefactor of the golden age, what made me
Save the player, hate the game, so I’m hating your game
Throwing salt like I’m a light saber, debating the lame
I break to the rim, the snake is what I’m rushing to crush
Your nails have lost, and the grave is what is busted to clutch
You where you at, where’s the world, boys saying their girls
And girls is boys, where’s the devil? he’s in all of that noise
I rap with a shovel, the name of Jesus snapping them chains
And we remain the image of my God, back to the garden
I got a pardon, Jesus crucified, died, buried and rose
It’s every season, not just autumn that I bury the posers
What are lies, everything that keeps a soul from The King
I’ll take The Truth and hit the booth and start to bury the wack
Like with a bat, smashing racist acts, like cops who have lacked
The self control to pull the heater back and stop where you at
You listening to fear, you scaredy cat, you scared of the black?
It’s beautiful, you on your duty when you protect it and bless it
I rep it, the realest culture of these hip hop kids
Hey yo kids, I got a sermon for these hip hop bids
You stepping into rings, I'm crowning you with loyalty love
And its for better or for worse, not with disloyalty’s curse
Divorce is ripping up these fam-i-lies, and satan’s its rule
he’s mocking christians cause we even like, His grace, so it’s cool
And then its tears and murdered years, and we just fell to the world
No, We not of it, but we love it, rub some salt in His wounds
I’m seeing Holy Spirit grieving, so I’m grieving, believing
That God’s people caught in feelings, and they being deceived
You can’t see, get the Word up in you, faith is the sum
You’re hearing it, but are you doing it, the race to be run
I pray for these dunns, the ones that got the gun in they hands
You killing kids, students dying, mama’s cry in they hands
The demons in you is what do it, you’re the puppet and drugged
Rebuke the devil, they don’t understand, the devil’s the thug
Yea, make it harder for these youngins to get heat in their hands
But know the source is evil, and Jesus is the ‘piece’ that they lack
And yo with that, peace to streets that got these rivers of bloods
And crips is walking into bullets, folks is dying too young
I’m crying and broke, save the homies from the fire that blaze
hell is clapping when it’s hate that shot em straight to the gates
The fakest of friends, will tell you you a one when you’re ten
God has made you, make you beautiful, relate to His kin…
BE BORN AGAIN.

My King is unmatchable, ima put a match to everything that isn’t important, I’m soaring over it
I’m down with The King that’s word to Jam Master Jay, let the ghetto blaster play
What my master say, if you love me, obey my commandments
I’m a man standing in the presence of greatness with gladness, Joy over flows, shoulders low...hands high for the One that was crucified
King Jesus, King of kings and Lord of lords
I got praise and worship through these mic cords, it’s your light that ignites my pours, I was indicted and you poured
Out your blood for me...you died for me when I was your enemy, you died for me?
Why did you die for me when I was still a sinner?
It’s your love Lord...It’s your love, it’s your agape...LOVE.
It’s the love of my....KING.

Incoming, seems real stunning how He came in
Arrived lowly in a homey spot, not running
Come drumming through the manger, in imminent danger
Herod tried to kill him but he couldn’t, kids major
Sent to be the savior, meant to die, crucified
2nd Adam, adamantly radical, The Son of man
I am was teaching up in temple at the age of twelve
And they all marveled at His wisdom, he engaged em well
We don’t know much about His childhood, but child’s good
Emmanuel the illest, realest one, really, One
There ain’t no other name approaching His, this is vital
Turn down the King, and yo the consequence is suicidal
Time for a new revival, idols turn to burning tales
No thing of hell can touch The Master, Ask the rapper after
He walked on water literally, that’s word to Rakim
Not just a metaphor, the miracles are Rock’s gems
All hail the King, God’s Real Son, He’s the real one
Born of the flesh to press to pain to get the deal done
The cross was where he justified, redeemed and healed us
His resurrection made it possible to really touch
The face of God, have a relationship and fall in love
Make the decision, make Him Lord and Savior, take The Dove
He’s conquered sin and death, in Him you got eternal rep
My King and Master Jesus Christ forever worship Him
Forever worship Him, born of a virgin, my heart surgeon
Can you search Him? Only if you got your heart working
Get at my arts purpose, break to embark for His praise,
King of kings and Lord of lords, yell it through these mic cords
The prophesied about, prophets were eyeing Him out
He came to life was about, life when they dying to doubt
He gave His life for us, sinners whose life was a bust
Cross and His death was a must, rose to give breath and it’s us
He wants relationship, God and the maker of all
Take Him, you clearly have fallen, I know, I clearly had fallen
The one who reigns on a throne, He is my own King
He’s personal, so yo I’m talking bout a known King
I’m here to shatter all religion that’s actually prison
And all tradition that’s just dead when it’s practiced, you’re missing
The Holy Ghost and I will testify and raise Him high
Yeshua you are everything, my God, my Adonai
