knees are bent hands are clasps eyes wide shut to concentrate on the task mind on the matter spirit over mind more than one type all five could be combine is a minute is an hour is however long you can is elaborate or simple needs to come from the heart gracious for the blessing supplied all my needs more than i expect for ask and believed but received it non the less and yes i profess every thing I posses was obtain through a bless ask and receive knock and it's open seek and find wholehearted with time know that it's coming all you gotta do is grind patience and character come from the divine and if you put all together and push to advance pray til something happens and leave in his hands when things look hard and impossible to do just push push push push when feel like giving up cause you can't no more just push push push push when the weight on your shoulders is keeping you down just push push push push when desperation takes over and there's no way out just push push push push it takes one word one thought one action push continuously and pass the distraction feel it from the heart let it be a part from morning till night no ending just start it's a gift of compassion it's the start of some action it's our duty it's our call it's the cry before the storm say and believe like it's already done worked out through the backing and asking of the son is the most underrated least elevated form of speaking to the one that can help you transform it's the weapon of choice is the use of your voice is the power to succeed when you ain't a choice is to ask, intercede, praise or plead, and give thanks to the Lord for every single deed is to bless and be bless lay it down and concede confident enough that he'll provided for your need when things look hard and impossible to do just push push push push when feel like giving up cause you can't no more just push push push push when the weight on your shoulders is keeping you down just push push push push when desperation takes over and there's no way out just push push push push una palabra, un pensamiento un poco de silencio olvidate del tiempo en las rodillas parado o sentando no importa como estes si estas suplicando intercediendo o menditando pero siempre sujetado el la palabra y promesas que Dios nos a dado es conectar y estar a su lado saver lo que quiere y como trabajarlo y dando gracias por todo lo que da bendiciones en la vida simpre vienen de arriba es una arma que derrota a la bestia tenemos que usarla y nos da fortaleza dos o tres palabras inclina tu cabeza te da claridad mas haya de lo piensas es mas que un habito un acto sin pensar asi que en todo tiempo tenemos que orar when things look hard and impossible to do just push push push push when feel like giving up cause you can't no more just push push push push when the weight on your shoulders is keeping you down just push push push push when desperation takes over and there's no way out just push push push push

Put your fist into the sky and stand for you belief a revolution is more than what the eye can perceive is an attitude, emotion state of mind and state of being is not a stroll in life with spot for sightseeing is more than sympatise and take sides against the enemy is knowing why take arms and what it takes to inflict harm is not just a word thrown around for the sound complete your 16 bars and you think you sound profound is not a platform to release all you angst, insecurities or thoughts that you might had and need to appease is not a feeling of nostalgia the way it used to be a trip down memory lane now that's mundane is not a time to lash out loose your head seeing red a moment of dispear or a time to get ahead you unaware of the meaning then let me break it down and change your perception from a verb to a noun Revolution is what we live and it is what we are the revolt begins with us when we choose to stand apart we revolutionaries so stand up raise your fist this revolt will not be stopped if we fight it on our knees Revolution is what we live and it is what we are the revolt begins with us when we choose to stand apart we revolutionaries so stand up raise your fist this revolt will not be stopped if we fight it on our knees and we live it everyday with everymove that we make revolutionary music saturate the air waves and lets make waves of our own expand this kingdom set our tone so that whoever come next will see the light of the son blinded by the radiance taking a back by the experience dull all the sense but through God it makes sense when the weak become strong and the poor become rich go ahead spread the news I don't mind it if you snitch let's go againts the norm that every man is on it's own we a chosen generation it runs in the blood through the veins into the heart and much deeper than that not in the flesh but in the spirit let's look at that manifested through love and not just the thought follow by our actions otherwise is just off it's a changing of the mind the body and the soul revolution will come when God takes control Revolution is what we live and it is what we are the revolt begins with us when we choose to stand apart we revolutionaries so stand up raise your fist this revolt will not be stopped if we fight it on our knees Revolution is what we live and it is what we are the revolt begins with us when we choose to stand apart we revolutionaries so stand up raise your fist this revolt will not be stopped if we fight it on our knees This is revolutionary music cause it changes who you be from one behind bars to bare fuit on the street and who is fully in control of every action every thought scars bear the stories of the wars that were fought all the loses all the gains the stuggles and the pain etched on the creases or counted out on the pieces left over from the fight then you beging to realize that something worth having is worth the sacrifice my revolutionary people stand up and be proud with fist into the sky and one voice say out loud we won't stop we won't quit we keep moving till the end we won't bend we won't lose refuse to compromise we will stand we will fight and this world we defy and rise with the son when he come from the sky we will stand we will fight and this world we defy and rise with the son when he come for the sky

it's a choice that it's yours and this choice is God given it's power for the people every one cause we are equal and this choice is yours cause it's your life and you live you get to pick and choose I just hope you don't regret it cause there's two ways to go about two roads to travel on two paths that can be taken but you gotta pick your own no one else can do it for you you gotta do it for yourself just remember that this will affect you life after death cause there's two ways to go about it either you sure or you doubt it either your hot or your not realize it or your blinded and you always want it your way like Carlitos in his day just remember the end of the movie enough said and when I spit these lyrics i don't want you to get religious but I rather that you know the one who came to save us and it starts with the heart and is follow by the mind and soon is the spirit and your soul is set apart either you want it or you don't either you have it or you front either you do it or you won't there's two ways so pick one cause it was his way or her way your way or no way it was his way or her way your way or no way it was his way or her way your way or no way yo is jah way or no way so sway this way cause there's two ways to go about it two roads to travel on two paths that can be taken and time is of the essence there's no promise for tomorrow maybe it will never come you wanna gable all your chips or bet it on the one cause there's two ways to go about it two side to choose from no ifs, ands or buts and the line has been drawn and to one side are all of those who decided to let it shine take the struggle with the pain but at the end the see the gain and they knew it wasn't for nothing they knew they live for something greater than this earth and all that this is worth and to the other side are those who took their lives in thier hands made their own plans to live it but could'nt really see it not fulfill not satisfied they try to get it on their own they stack chips until they could but their soul was gone. cause it was his way or her way your way or no way it was his way or her way your way or no way yo is his way or her way your way or no way yo is jah way or no way so sway this way Cause there's two ways two roads two paths to travel on two choices two outcomes but one life to live on two options two views and it's all up to you two sides to this story and which one will you choose

i see the hardness in your eyes but the softness in your soul you try hard to cover up But i've know you for so long i seen the struggles and the fear and that hill you call life and yeah it aint fair but perseverance comes with strife and it pains to see it happended much more if it on you they say lady luck is blind and justice follows suit and the balance tends to sway but it never goes your way and the book upon her arm has no law and no weight and I hear what you saying every time you speak your mind but the silence is even louder when I know that you resigned your faith was undemined by the promise of something better but time after time all you get is scarlet letter and you feel like you have to settle for something less than the best but what you got on this earth is not a picture of success is much more than that and as a matter of fact it would take more than these words to make that picture exact You don't have to walk alone and struggle on your own we were not born together but we share the same blood and in this road less travel there there's many potholes and many cracks obsticles hurt and pain enough of the blame game but take my hand take it all I wanna help you on your fall and shed tears of bitter sweet as we both sit on the floor cause when you hurt i hurt and when you bleed i bleed and you when stumble on your walk you gonna find me on my knees my shoulder is always open and I'll help you with your load when you think you can't no more all you need to do is hold don't let go is not too late don't give up or hesitate ignore the external pulls and on God maditate come back to his presence and experience the true essence of what it is to live and feel loved in every sense am here to help you out his willing to lift you out we both waiting when you say you coming back without a doubt

They say am to concious need to dumb it down a little so the lyrics could breath and make sense to all the masses They say am underground and they can't be feeling on my vibe but is like thugs gone wild when they hear we fly high They say I don't play the part cause my look is by far what they don't expect and it sets me apart --- can you believe that like i need to dress like a rapper to be one They say my flow is unique, and it can not be compare my voice is sort of smooth but it still has no glare unorthodox delivery with a noticible accent no agitation on it still heads can get on it They say I sound west they say i sound east I wish this would stop and the spins increase ---- if it's good music just enjoy it for what it is no labeling They say am old school like when the game went golden but I rather that cause now the game is kinda boring cookie cutter music and we got too many chef all sugar no substance so what do you expect and all these artist are eco friendly heros recycling words and sounds and feeding them to peoples They say am too religious got God in all my bars but it's the same as living out what you got tatted on your arms and your favorite emcee spits hard for his crew yet you not up in arms and you know all his rhymes They say i water down cause I don't quote any scripture i thought my life was enought mixed in this culture to lead by example if God controls my moves but I guess some of my brothers they need more proof They say i sound too street and theres no difference in me to set me apart from what everybody sees but what they don't see is how many hearts are in need am just trying to relate and plant His seed They say it wouldn't work They say is devil's music if the creator made it all then why can't we use it? they say this and that but they ain't saying nothing at all if you can see where i going then don't follow me at all... cause am all about my business and it's reaching out to all you aint got nothing to add then don't say nothing at all don't be a stumbling block cause am bound to step you over I mean no disrespect but know i do objec I see some of you pointing just don't forget that when you point you got three other fingers pointing back cause it's easier to point when you looking for the flaw but just be honest with yourself isn't it you part of the cause? They say is not a ministry i just do it for the show for the glare for the lights i know is not the dough cause I ain't caking of off this I got a 9-5 that God has bless me with to supply all my needs
