G.O.D.

I gotta get gully gotta give it all I got
generate game grinding on the ghetto
giving out the grammar the goods with this game
the grace giving gift the goal is to gain
ground on the global with no gun play
God's generals go against the grain
great is the ground greater is the goal
grab and let's go guidence with growth
graffiti with glare like gold on the glass
guerilla tactics like granades full of gas
see God's Glory glow like a gem
get the grace note given to his guest
no guilt trips no guile no game
gather on the gate to get what you gain
gleam from the goods given by God
grab on his grace and give it all you got
G.O.D three letters in his name
G is for the Glory and never put to shame
O is for the outcome when we go through the flame
and D is for the day that we claim this game
see the opposition overide obstacles
open to the options obey the oracle
only one original and it's obvious
that offers one outcome with obidience
often some opinions offer to object
obsseses with the order overide and it' over
obscure the observation overlooked or omit
the ominpotent one it's a lack of offering
occurs so often it's not an oddity
when one on one is on is all off-beat
occupy once-over feel the overdose
on flame for the one obscure all of those
obscene obnoxious (obtrusive) overlords
overbearing on the oesphagus
off set the operation organize and opt out
the opressor outlined in the testament of old
G.O.D three letters in his name
G is for the Glory and never put to shame
O is for the outcome when we go through the flame
and D is for the day that we claim this game
Deliver daily doses to die everyday
dare to be different defy and deny
despite all dirt dialate to defeat
deactivate the dark decrease the deciet
declare a new directive defuse and debunk
designate a defence with no decadence
dispite the dated demo dig and demand
a detail directive done in the dail
debug and design to denounce and defeat
direct the deadbeat to defalte and decease
deadend all their deeds drag down and desolve
ditch any data and disperse like dash
document all the drama dent the deception
dogmatic doctrine drive up the decibal
deep dichotomy diluted everyday
devotion is desire draw closer is dire (cause)
G.O.D three letters in his name
G is for the Glory and never put to shame
O is for the outcome when we go through the flame
and D is for the day that we claim this game

It's More f. Elias
03:34

it's more than the 9-5 or what you drive
it's all about your life and how you live it right
it's not about the paper but is not about the lint
it's not what you got and it's not what you want
it's not about the struggle or how you getting there
it's more about the travel and the lessons that appear
and what you learn from them will help you persevere
building your character up every single year
there's more than meets the eye cause we can't see all
intentions and motives at times don't get notice
agendas get in the way and cause a shift
how you act or react can cause a split
relationship drift and they take a hit
it's more than you or me and what we can't see
I live day by day and step it like a dance
counting all my moves cause it's all about a balance
too much of anything can make you bloated up
but if you lacking in something it can also mess you up
anemic to the spirit like you need a little iron
take a booster shot from this rhythm that am on
you might need more than milk to get your spirit up
cause a man is not an island and needs to eat up
is the law of the spirit you need to stand up
and when things go sour you need to man up
it's more than living life is living with a purpose
it's more than knowledge is knowing when to use it
it's more that just words in putting them together
it's more than just rhymes is saying something with them
it' more than just the spirit is asking it for guidance
to maneuver through this earth and everything around
cause if you stop listen this world is unsound
like the record just skipped and thew off the crowd
don't try to take it in cause you'll get a bitter taste
just stick to your pace and give a little grace
cause we all in this struggle we all in this race
it matters how you run it so fall into place
no bodies really perfect everybody got faults
I ain't here to point them out but help when you fall
most times it'll be me acquainted with the floor
cause God only knows that i need more

Move

Never moving backwards always moving forward
never slacking off always on my grind
Never let it stop Always get it while it hot
never giving up always give it all i got
never take for granted the blessings that I got
and I'll never give it up always love it til i die
never let it loose always hold it mad tight
never trade it in no matter how hard it got
always on my mind it captivates all of me
I will never forget what it's done for me
always take it with me Never let it go
always think about it no matter where I go
Never turn my back on it or ignore it
always recognize that it's been good to me
cause always and never are the words that I use
to express how i feel, let these feeling be clear
and I can paint a picture and put it in a frame
but if you never get see it then it's all in vain
all the colors all the metaphors the brush and the strokes
the technique and the flow don't matter any more...
we gotta move to this rythm move to this life
move to the creator if we wanna stay alive
we gotta move to this music move to the light
reflected it where we can this is the dance of life
we gotta move to the beat and keep up the pace
moved by the spirit to always find grace
we gotta move to the light reflect the sunshine
we gotta learn the steps cause this is the dance of life
and am always on the move never standing still
always get it going and pray for God's will
always up for something no matter what it is
always get it poppin if you put me on your bill
always rock the mic like if is my last time
never underestimate words they sublime
they can change the world with just one phrase
or they could change one soul I see it in their face
each day i sit pray that things would start to change
cause many live their life like they got no restraint
and i try to live mine according to his word
hear it, say it, live it, love it
I gotta move to this rythm move to this life
move to the creator if i want to stay alive
I gotta move to the beat move to find grace
move to the son and keep up the pace
we gotta move to this rythm move to this life
move to the creator if we wanna stay alive
we gotta move to this music move to the light
reflected it where we can this is the dance of life
we gotta move to the beat and keep up the pace
moved by the spirit to always find grace
we gotta move to the light reflect the sunshine
we gotta learn the steps cause this is the dance of life
move..... move
we gotta move to this rythm move to this life
move to the creator if we wanna stay alive
we gotta move to this music move to the light
reflected it where we can this is the dance of life
we gotta move to the beat and keep up the pace
moved by the spirit to always find grace
we gotta move to the light reflect the sunshine
we gotta learn the steps cause this is the dance of life

StreetSigns

People walking down the streets like they got some place to be at
drowning life in every step and hoping they do that
with one step there is hope with the next one it is lost
so they step a little faster and try to get the most
is a constant struggle that everyone is face with
yet everyday we face this life expecting to see grace
and she lives on the hard concrete, upon the pavement
sitting on the curb but yet we can't face her
pass over, look over in your sight but can't discover
just a conscious thought lumped with many others
and we turn a blind eye on the facts to only see
a reflection of ourselfs and how we used to be
a distant glimmer of hope we can't bearly see the light
yet we hold to the truth that is worth it to win this fight
we cling to the cross raw emotions, shakey hands
cause in the back of the mind this is the last stand
The signs are everywhere in every city in every corner
stand still for a minute and hear millions of mourners
calling for their fate they demand their divine appointment
some expected, some neglet it, many others reject
but that's besides the point is not for us to choose and pick
all we are is servants so just submit
that's my calling, my mission, my reason for existance
though at times I try and fail I still prevail
the holy grail keeps me focus when the flesh begins to rot
and the bread broken in pieces reminds me of what I got
and the debt was paid in full the cost was taking over
his blood cover the loss now my life is but a gain
and in the same frame of mind I extend this plea again
won't you join me in this struggle and live life to share his grace
bitter sweet becomes the mantra upon this riff
so won't you pound upon the pavement and share this gift?
I stand on these streets and see the people passing by
wondering what's going on what is running through their mind
is there a war going on can it really be won
or is everything lost and we are living without rhyme
or reson to this life is it all surrounded by pain
and the result is strife? and this life is all in vain.
I ask myself time and time over again
am I doing enough to bring God to men today?
cause it's my life my mission my reason for existence
my thoughts my heart but sometimes my resistance
my everyday stance and sometimes the last chance
my goal to make it happend and see his glory advance 2x

Without You
03:59
|
|||
There's no good without the bad cause they always go hand in hand
like when you got your whole life insight but you fail to plan
and things don't always go your way and you stressing the details
just know that things look better when you take time to exhale
and there's no sun without the rain like joy without the pain
one without the other will make the struggle seem in vain
I can't explain how it works but I know it's always present
I see it everyday cause everyday someone else is stressing
and there no peace without a fight no dark without light
no image to bear witness when we are left without sight
no creation at all if there's no creator that holds
this simple piece of clay and with precision molds
and theres no need for answers if they are no questions
and no rumors without facts and no sin without confession
there is nothing to persue if there's no God to be found
and this is just a fact there's no me without you
and there's no reson for this music if there's no one else to hear it
no inspiration to let out cause there's no one to receive it
and no hands up in the sky and raised them real high
cause there's no audience standing by and my chants don't get replied
no need to spin the record no need to say my words
no need to take the mic if all I get is reverb
no need for 16 bars a hook and and bridge
no need to pour my heart out and keep it on my sleeve
there's no need to pick up a pen and coin any phrase
cause even if I say it it would'nt leave a trace
no sentiment at all no attention to the thought
no matter how profound if no one else caught the sound
no feeling of accomplishment when I finish a song
might as well not even do it and leave my life story untold
there's nothing to persue if there no you to be found
and this is just a fact there's no me without you
And there's no love without a woman no life without your kids
nothing else can even measure to what God Blesses with
no early morning rise or late staying up
no staring in those eyes with a future full of hope
no butterfly kisses no hugs and well wishes
no special times in life that you can reminisce with
no sense of sacrifice cause you living for yourself
but with someone in the picture the meaning has more worth
and there's no stars without the night no black without white
everything is wrong if there nothing going right
no love without hate no peace without war
no feeling of complete always wondering where you are
and i wanna see the light share my life when I write
and this verse is dedicated to my lula and my wife
and there's nothing to persue if there no you to be found
and this is just a fact there's no me without you

Shine
03:31

I shine real bright where light is absent
I dilate your iris you need an aspirin
I do it everyday till my life is spent
listen to these bars and you'll hear my passion
to seek the everlasting before it's to late
treat you to his plan like Starbucks and lattes
take you back to him like these are the breaks
all school new school don't matter what's for you
the message is the same cause God will never change
and all i really do is expose you to his name
Yahweh, most high, Jehovah jirah, i claim
don't matter what you call him his love is all the same
to the urban, sub urban the ghetto and masses
the thugs the skaters the metals and the hustlers
my words are relevant they heaven sent
his message is worth more than 50 cent
I got to shine a little brighter
you got to shine a little brighter
we need to shine a little brighter
let you light shine a little brighter
some live in ignorance promote dividens
I am here to show you the truth and deliverance
you need to open your eyes see the light of day
you wanna live for ever? there only one way
It's for you it's for me it for him it's for her
no matter where you at the point is that you heard
don't try to do you dirt before you get clean
is like trying to die before you get to live
is like copping a plea before you do the deed
is like charging for something when you got it free
it don't make sense makes matters more intense
like trying live now but using past tense
commonsense is dense creates consequence
like trying to push your point at any expense
a breath of fresh air with carcinogens
and make you live it out like this your last dance
Bridge
I try to live this out is my mission no doubt
give it to raw all in hopes to draw you out
put it plain and simple but well thought out
step after step now listen to this now
first its the idea that something is going on
second is the thought that something is going wrong
third is to stop what you've done before
last is to say I need you now Lord
you heard it said before and i say it again
say it one more time cause it's not in vain
you wanna live forever there's only one way
let me stop the beat put the lyrics on repeat
first its the idea that something is going on
second is the thought that something is going wrong
third is to stop what you've done before
last is to say I need you now Lord
I got to shine a little brighter
you got to shine a little brighter
we need to shine a little brighter
let you light shine a little brighter
