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 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

StreetSigns 04:20
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
