Freestyle’s and Hooks, exiled like crooks, baggy jeans my style judge by the looks
Shook by parliament I mean society I in me starting this riot up inside of me
I could by my own suit, and switch up my Tim Boots
The funny thing is I make more money than you do,
So classify me as a backpacker manufactured I’ll spit on the mic to spite your laughter
I’m only young once what’s your rush
In God I trust don’t mold me I’ll never adjust
I think you’ve got the wrong person
So what makes a bad person rappin’ cursing skating rappin hurting
Who’s a Saint? I’m still learning.
So take me to the hospital or just check yourself
You got enough wood in your eye to make a shelf
Can’t say I ain’t done it, judged or got blunted
Next time confronted I’ll shine my boxers out in public
It’s not that I want your respect or need feel except
Through God I got rest I see you do reject
Huh, looking at me like you know me, judge me by my clothing skeptical, and all knowing
Step in a room now a days and all eye brows raise, is it my sexy face or my messy hair state, (I hope it’s) it must be the spirit on me saved by grace
Know apology constantly around like monopoly
Courtesy of your ignorance, and people looking different
I stay diligent, and tell my story over instruments
I’m not your average adolescence arrogant or disrespecting parents
Hold your tongue in, say nothing ye mumbling the alphabet
Not accurate a false package I outta charge ye for harassment
So the next time I purchase clothes or someone serves me
I’m showing love why don’t you, show me some courtesy
I still remember this occasion back when I was teenaging raging like I lack the patience
Walk into a mall for a purchase, store clerk looking kind a nervous all hawk eyed, and merciless
Chill for a second what you dealing with I wasn’t gonna steel it you freaking all serious,
Easy on the judgment you gone blown your trumpet, kid looking rugged think I’m tripping on some substance,
It’s not your fault you were born that way, gone astray thinking ever child teens a renegade,
Let me shed some light on your blindness open up your iris, ya highness don’t check the black or the whiteness,
It’ all about equality word if you follow me,
Love your neighbor as yourself what! That’s my policy
Chorus
You don’t even know me you don’t know me (echo)
So insecure I guess you judging me (echo)
I’m not the type of guy that wants acceptance
Intro:
The pressures' of life got me thinking again
What ticked you off today, your boss, girlfriend, that same idiot at school?
Verse I
This world makes me upset like a bomb threat,

Take what you get in life sip lick it up.
Cause yo I've gone crazy dear God can you save me I need a solution I'm hallucinating lately
Something gone wrong in my brain casim assault and battering embarrassing this world I ain't cherishing
You shot the heroin I lacked the parenting, Inherit the kingdom like the sin syndrome
Vision blurry focus in on your brokenness loneliness stuck up in society's hopelessness
Break Down

If it's working out I wish you'd hear me now if so I'll trust in you without a doubt.
Chorus
Cause every time cause every time I get Stressed Out!!!
Cause every time cause every time I get Stressed Out!!!
Verse II
I wonder what would happen if I really spoke mind to every individual critical situation with you

If it wasn't for Christ I might of react detached make you see black send you into relapse,
I relax and check my posture pray to my God father, got a lot of stress try to find a place to rest.
I never let the chemicals wrestle with my blood vessels,
push ethical take care of your medical it's evident

severance pay was not an option kick me out
cause my droors are dropping got this talent locking, and I'm stress talking.
Break Down
I can't take it I got to get out
The stress is to hot, I'm a jet out.
I can't take it yall I got to get out
The stress is too hot, I'm a jet out
Verse III
I'm not lost I've just got some issues, I'm not artificial cause I'm just being real with you.
It's just one of those days' you don't say, tick me off start a fire like foreplay
Ill visual's my life's circumstance trapped like circus ants nervous and I'm
Stressed check my third eye serve the most high high.
So why you caught up blame how you're brought up what you done with your life show your product.
I remain speechless not the same fetus reborn with an attitude receive how I speak this.
Why you need a joint or else you sleepless stress it plus you un-rested
Quest for life in Christ I don't regret it,
It's Babylon, stress gun's and nylons,
Intro: Yo Mana you ready man, you’re on in 5 minutes dude,
Get your stuff get your DJ and go kill it
I’m like blow
Step out on the stage like I’m infamous
Sound of a thousand kids screaming all into it
Like you no my name? Or even know my songs (What!!) Adlibs
They even no the lyrics to chant and sing along (uh huh)
It’s like eh yo, He got that style
I’m like yeah yall, it’s going down
Emceeing with freedom I’m seeing
Kid’s freaking the feeling of reaping the seeds and I’m speaking
And I like that, I’m a still rap
I won’t come fake styling like ye plastic gats
If you didn’t know I spit the syllables
Were bringing you Manafest style live at the rodeo, radio, video, stereo here we go
Chorus
I’ve traveled all over the globe
What’s under ye nose
Rip the shows if it’s sunny or snows
Sell it to the rich feed it to the poor and you know
Its Kodak moments up live in stereo
Rodeo, Radio, Video, Stereo
Stage dive off a lyrical high without the red eyes
Spiritual miracle signs through the man I
Serve with the most respect, I don’t boast to get
6 zero check’s survival of the fittest
People diss ye, people like ye
Battle freestyle you. Who’s wiser? You a rhymer?
Hope ye have your lyrical chops top notch
Before you get sling shotted off the mic and cut
It’s a cold game pick up ye flow man
You better have skills plus an ill business plan
Get thick skin or gain a lot of weight
This is hip hop/ rock’n roll rodeo let’s go!!!!
Big crowds to small crowds, any crowd
We go town to town, bust many styles
People smiling all across the island
Kick freestyle’s till yall buck wilding
My jeans is still sagging my face soaked sweating
Before the show I’m in the bathroom resting
My own private seat I peep a magazine
Think about how I’m a emcee for his majesty
I want a freak yall take ye so high I want freedom in ye life at all times
We gonna rock from now and forever
Find myself with my mic in a tight spot
There the type to pick a fight in the light or dark
Sceneries turn mean they and mimic me
Many men is thieves epidemically
Calling names out who’s gonna settle it They use fists ignorant to break our fellowship
Those thugs at the parties never get chicks
Under developed kids dropping out a English
Bunch of idiots living insignificant
Caught in anything they’d kill a king
No worries man be Christness got me off the crutches living righteous
And I might just
Hang with the likes of these common thieves, prostitutes you can say you saw me
Chorus
If I’m a live, I’m a live for my God
And if I’m a die I’m a die for the cause
Don’t’ matter got peace in my mind
Day after day, let the love shine
Behind the Song:
Chorus
Breathe, reflect in between my rhymes
Don’t know if tomorrow will be my time
Release, ya whole mind body and soul
Up in your zone this world’s out a control
Cause If I die before I wake
Pray to God my soul he takes I got one life, one heart, one mind
I’m not ready die, let’s stay alive
Why would I lie if I know it’s true?
If I’m wrong than I’m wrong than I say that’s cool
It’s the law of the earth that’ll kill me first
It’s the God of the universe who saved my birth
Not cocky, not watching, I don’t care if yall diss
I got 100 verses 40 songs take ya pick
Average man lives to 65, I got 9 lives
Courtesy of Christ I’m a use all 9
So find me atrocious, I rhyme with emotion
I’m floating in here you better come up for air
You got cash, clothes, a chick, Zero percent
With crack up ye nose bro it don’t make sense
And it’s been that way you’re not D.O.A (dead on arrival)
Yo, did you hear me this life is getting scary
Know what you’re about not just knowledge of self
You got one chance to play, and ya cards are dealt
I can’t be held down, to your worldly styles
Get up and bounce Ricochet off my sound
I ain’t ready to, die
I got mileage to ride
I stopped playing with yall,
Between hating my God
Figured him on my side, I could fly or
Walk the waters,
Heal his daughters you’ve never seen an artist
To spit this truth, this year, kill fear
I’m the new pioneer, and I’m still a kid
I ain’t got time to waste, this be the last one
The outcome of life I’m unsure, I’m not done
Leave yall a message, and answer some questions
The who what why we here
Why’s there fear, if I die, do I rise like birds of the air?
My opinion is clear, in position to care
I can’t give it away give it away
What they say can’t make or break me
Save me before I start changing
Earthlings I want to hear you’ll sing
Stretch ya life out long, I wanna see it bling
Cause if I die I know what’s on the other side
It’s been awhile now I’ve been searching thinking about
Sin and drought, up and down spinning round, round, round
Round, Round I haven’t found it, truths alive don’t doubt it
Pounding down the doors & hallowing ow, ow, ow
Slouched like a youth I found God in the room
He said yo I know you, I got a girl for ye dude
Am I high, am I dead, am I alive, is this real
Can I touch can I feel, pinch me, oww yeah,
Sat me down daps & pounds, showed me style
Told me how, hold a second that’s my girl
I think I’ve figured out that a
I’m down with ye, down with ye
I’ll hit the town with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love
I’m down with ye, down with ye
I’ll stick around with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love
I, I, I want to show ye
I think I’m ready for ye
Just let the party music play
I’m down with ye down with ye
I got that sound for ye
Just let the music play
I see it clear now her and I Cali style
She is fine, she is mine, likes it when I drop a rhyme
Chilling by the beach home
Surfing or on skateboards
Doesn’t hurt that she’s model
Run way girl, Makes me holla
We’ll grow our family tree
Little Mana’s Melanie’s
Living free sipping drinks
Coke and Ice bubble tea’s
God is watching over this
Blessings is so obvious
Call it bliss, call it crisp
This is how I want to live
Its retro automatic, the love is so dynamic
I’m dancing like an addict
I’m down with ye, down with ye
I’ll hit the town with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love
I’m down with ye, down with ye
I’ll stick around with ye
Can I get some love yo hommie show me love
I, I, I want to show ye
I think I’m ready for ye
Just let the party music play
I’m down with ye down with ye
I got that sound for ye
Just let the music play
But if you don’t think your down with me,
That’s cool cause we can still be friends at least
And a, we could just play Monopoly you’ll see
You’ll get to know me uh huh, you’ll get to know me, know me
But I, I think you really might be right
I think you might just be the guy for me, and you and maybe you’ll give me a ride, home
This is my song, glad you all came along, sing it now
Intro:
Yeah huh what
Alright cool
Yeah huh what alright yeah what what, uh uh
M.A.N.A FESTO, exposing light, and take aim what yeah
Another cold night 360 flip swiftly down six hit me, is she busy?
I’ll call her after Pass a Snapple, and a camera angle,
Ledge vandal can’t break my ankles
I’m on point, but we’re running cops are fronting,
Wanna stop something you loving,
I’ll pray about it
Ill maneuvers over sewers with back packs,
And curved hat attachments freestyle my stats no accidents,
Imagine that no security no Cops!
Visualize ill’s ciphers every corner block.
I never sold rock or bust glock
My walk talks it’s own, I like to lick tones in your head phones
So what’s the purpose to live life to the fullest
I serve Christ so I don’t watch for bullets, Just live how I wanna respect heaven spit lava,
Street philosopher raised up in Canada
Chorus
M.A.N.A FESTO exposing light, and take aim what come on
M.A.N.A FESTO exposing light, and take aim what come on
Exposing Light manafesto down town in the metro
Fill my car up with petro,
I best go, I’m already late,
They call me speedy so I’m easy on the breaks
What’s up yo, cool man chilling,
I’m dealing with this girl, yo man she’s Illing
I learned to separate the girl from the rhyme,
And skate sometimes my mind escapes lock it down to meditate
Concentration it’s a full occupation thought invasion,
It’s like my God verses Satan
Excuse me why I’m doing this
To influence kid’s students of all ages all races
Give this rap scene a face lift dive inside my minds matrix
New school Christ Patriot
What I stand for the one they hold the banner for
I came with a board sword plus a stack of metaphors.
Chorus
Hun yeah what alright cool cool, what yeah huh alright
This world almost had me kidnapped me back
Slapped me in the back seat choked me till I can’t speak,
I get up, and pull my head up develop my style I never swell up from the neck up I rock,
Heavy metal to street styles in ghettos my dress code apparel is big on paths narrow,
Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I won’t sweat it, I’m gonna let it go
I don’t recognize my own face no more
I stare in a mirror than turn and it’s gone
Nameless and famous changing my alias
Manafest & Chris fighting for the right placement
1979 I was born 1995 I grabbed a board
1999 I wrote a song, spit a metaphor
Went from amateur to entrepreneur
You still don’t know me, you dudes can’t touch me
Stab me, kill me, hug me or love me
Inside I’m a person, hurting, and working
Pouring myself out, putting my neck out
Can you see him? I tell them I’m right here
He still won’t come out he’s rivaled with fear
Examined by the critics, and put on this dis list
I won’t be jaded though I’m starting to see it
They don’t respect him he’s just another musician
Chorus
Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I won’t sweat it, I’m gonna let it go
I won’t stress I’ll just do my best
Yeah!!! You’ve taken up all my cares
Given me eye sight and meaning
And I’ll let the whole world know about you
The voice of suicide
Used to creep up in my mind
The fat kid could care less if I lived or died
I didn’t think it had affect on me
But now I’m 25 watching my weight size, I’m really scrawny
The name calling, bullying from the hooligans
The who’s in, who’s not had no friends
My audience is triple the size of that now
All eyes on me shall I rap now Thank you all for coming to my show
Thank you for burning my cd that you stole
When I get desperate I write a message
My rhymes the essence of day to day lessons
Feeling butt naked my pride has been taken
Every mistake that I’ve made there taping
Can I find peace, can I find me
Who’s the real man that’s hiding behind the emcee?
I want to know
Bridge
What’s real, what’s not, what’s real Super star Chorus
Oh this is a song from my soul
This time I won’t sweat it, I’m gonna let it go
I won’t stress I’ll just do my best
Yeah!!! You’ve taken up all my cares
Given me eye sight and meaning
And I’ll let the whole world know about you
We may not agree on everything or anything
By any means I’m a fulfill the dream
I seen it come and go, I’ve tried to grab hold
Hope I don’t end up losing my soul
Hip hop ain’t worth it I’ve served and cursed it
Sacrificed to make it work, and lost my purpose
It’s not what I’d die for to risk my wife and all
Strife cause can’t compare the lives it’s caught
I am Christian, emceeing a gifting, hip hop’s what I’m living
Not replacing religion,
I got relationship with a God in the sky
He talks to me defines wrong and the right
Talk to him, when you’re walking or jogging
Skating or playing, or painting or balling
I’m a pass the mic, I on a path for Christ
Let me tell ye the, shoot I’m out a time
Dreams are still alive
They don’t ever die
Close your eyes and imagine it right now
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning
Staying clear of the lies
I wasn’t suppose to be here, compose and flow here
Perform for your ears saying ah yeah’s
My dream was to skate, Cali calling my name
Who’d a thought my foot would break, me limping in pain?
I ate my own pride, when I started to rhyme
Mamma told me ye got to grow up can’t skate all your life
Picture me history is shaping me sifting me,
Changing me to a man, Xing out all my plans
Not what I wanted my dreams was so different
I deal with what I’m giving not trying to be him or him
Dreams are still alive
They don’t ever die
Close your eyes and imagine it right now
We got to keep dreaming we giving life meaning
Staying clear of the lies
I used to fantasize a lot about what I don’t got
Chick on my arm even a necklace with a cross
I didn’t have money, No dad and only mommy
To raise two kids, even my toes looked funny
I thought I missed out when really I’m on clouds
I did my work while all my friends went out
I didn’t party much I think I touched drugs once
My buddies all laughing at me about that Christ Jesus stuff
Now if you seen us how the cards of switched hands
They sleep at their parents while I’m living in first class
Every night I’d always pray to God for tomorrow
Who’d thought I’d be married lying next to a model
Crazy how I elevated everyday celebrating
Dreams do come true exercise patience
Life is kind a bitter ain’t it, it’s full a pain and changes
Parking tickets that tick us off and leave you tainted
Heart pumping, your thinking of jumping
Devils hunting don’t do it cousin
You don’t know what is forth coming
Brighter days a higher raise
Light the fire play the game
Regroup or hide ye face
That’s why I’m authentic that’s why ye need effort
Credit is deserved, I re-worked my world
If everything worked out the way I first wanted
I’d a married the wrong chick and I’d been stuck think
Life’s embarrassed ye, laughed and stared at ye
In the end it only builds up your character
You know what I’m saying man, everybody’s got an opinion in this industry
I got one chick, no kids no drama
I soak in, music sing soap operas
I got four wheels one board globe trotter
I got money got God I still got problems
It don’t matter though I’m zoned in my own flow
So when I get told off my emotions hold
I don’t punch a whole through the bathroom door
I count to four 1,2,3,4!!!
Cause If I don’t calm down, stress is gonna compound
Cops are gonna come down, cuff me up g style
Buck wild like hulk I’ll turn green,
Pray for me "AH" there’s animal inside of me
I drop a rhyme, hard flip hit a grind
Turn 360 degrees adrenalin ride
Let these hammers fall flat, conscience intact
Cause all around the world we gonna feel the impact
New York dropping hammers like what
California dropping hammers like what
Manafest Dropping hammers on anybody crazy enough to get down
America dropping hammers like what
Worldwide dropping hammers like what
Manafest Dropping hammers on anybody crazy enough to get down
I can’t tell you that I’ve never been ticked off
Picked on, spit upon felt ripped off
I’ve had my mom rip me a new one
For a quick tongue, run, kid, run, run, run
Sun don’t shine in my life all the time
Some fly, some die, some survive the ride
Christ got my back when I fall face flat
When the fault line cracks I bounce right back
I used to freak out scream loud I need help
Beat down the ground till my fists were ow
Now I got bolder got wisdom got style
I used to miss out now I’m Mr. Wow
Blow to your radio Blow to your video
Dropping these hammers like what
I said Blow to your radio to Blow to your Video
Dropping these hammers right now on your stereo
We dropping hammers, like it don’t matter
Setting the standard
We dropping hammers, like it don’t matter
Raising the banner
Ye can’t pigeon hole me, hommie,
Sorry can’t do what you told me, I’m only
Doing what I feel, what’s right? What’s wrong?
When I’m dropping it hard somewhere I belong, I hear God
Talking to me, while I’m falling asleep, I got cuts in my knees
After hitting the streets trying to figure out the following
Be yourself man
Be your own girl
What you want huh??
Why you concerned Want to be a super star
Like you got hot
It don’t rain
Just rock
Why not let’s talk
Of the days growing up things got tuff
Grade 9 is so rough want to be so loved
By the popular kids
When ya walk in the place they all trip
Chicks want to be kissed
In your dreams that are wet
When reality hit’s
Gravity kicks
Ya phone calls seemed to be missed
It’s apparent that you starring and comparing your self
You need stop caring, forget everyone else
Chorus
To be a child forever
Innocent surrendered
Figured out who I want to be
I’ll just be myself yo!!!
Sitting by the phone again
Wishing it will ring
Watching friends on TV it’s a trend
Never go out, and no where to go
Lonely in ya home chilling with the 5 year olds
Lonely all alone chilling with your mom at home
I know it ain’t perfect you
You wanna learn about the bees and the birds in the trees
And your urge to succeed its dream that you have
And all that you got
Come as you are let no one else stop it
Bridge
I hate when I look around
All I see is a generation dying for love I want peace
It’s the game you play
You never win
It’s just not you
Who you gonna be
I don’t want to be me, I want to be him, be in
Be new school set the latest trends
Fashion expos up to your nose in clothes,
With the models live your life pro like ye maestro
You don’t want the pressure dog
I’m telling you, so you better not
Live your life for it, it’s not better off
Why have strangers depict how you dress
Featuring: Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch/FM Static
See the light or get knocked off
I don’t talk a lot
I drop it hot modern day psalmist topping charts
Get me in my comfort at a concert
For child hurts merging in the city clubs and outskirts
Power the verse from the words of God dialoging
Keep walking proceed behind the line of caution
It’s just in I heard them men’s talking
He ain’t the same dude changed afraid he came to pay dues
Chorus
It used to be about skills
Now it’s about bills
You don’t know me and you can’t hold me, yo!!!
I’m still true to my game
Where I put my name
No I won’t change your all fake
I wanna run away from where I was found
And bring me one step closer to where I am now
And every time you try, breaking me down
I’m gonna get right back up, and stand my ground
I run up in your set with black con’s and a skate deck
Throwing hockey pucks blowing speakers and mic check
One, Two, what you gone do when I come through
With a team of crazy Canadians rocking skidoos and snow races
You can call it whatever you like, won’t have an affect on your life, Right
Tell me people never listen to the words
Well watch the reaction I get when I drop this verse
Step into this game man, a lot of punches being thrown at you
I’ve fallen down I don’t know how many times, you just got to get
Right back up
Move!!!!
Chorus
I wanna run away from where I was found
And bring me one step closer to where I am now
And every time you try, breaking me down
Intro: I got a story for yall, about two people,
Living different lifestyles, you never thought it would happen like this.
There once was a lost boy living all annoyed
All aboard let me take you on tour
And travel through the mind of an innocent adolescence
Brains affected from his friends and fetus
He lives all alone with his mom and she drinks
He’s alive but he sinks into lies, he’s deceived
The girls don’t like um, teachers don’t want him
Uh oh I don’t know he skateboards out the door
Tries to find his soul while he’s falling down a hole
Runs into the wrong groupies they going on stupid
Acting foolish, get him to do what he shouldn’t
Breaking and entry, will leave you broke mentally
You don’t want it keep your own wallet
They calling you soft behind bars is no option
Life’s a little a bit, hard when gripping it
Take control or others will start living it
Chorus
So listen to what I got to say,
Cause this type of stuff it happens everyday
If I told ya would you hear me?
Or would ya hear the truth, and not believe me
Super stars are so beautiful, they want you ooh, and ahh off they looks
Look surprised
Icons in the eyes, of us looking up
Magazines posters, autographs and such
I thought I’d try to see her I went inside to meet her
Found out her real side would just cry and cry
All night all day camera’s in her face, she puts a smile on
She’s happy just to play along,
God was on my lips
We talked about the biz
Entertainment what it is affecting the kids
Do you know about the power that you have?
When you dance, in the songs that you sang
These guy’s, is like Dang!!!
What the deal is, tell me how you feeling
There’s a God that can bring your life healing
She just took it in stride there was glaze on her eyes
I offered Christ left it to her to decide
I said, if you want it search and you’ll find it
Chorus
Bridge
If you want it, search and you’ll find it
You don’t, but you’ve got to free yourself
Take my advice from two types of life
Two stories two kids living without Christ
If you D.I.E you ain’t at all happy
Use sadly, living in hell teeth is nashing
Oh my gosh, what the heck do I do Just know that there can only be one truth
—that’s it that’s all, now I’m signing off
I never talk the talk unless I walk the walk in the dark what you want come get it
I see you fake and flaunt, the way you pose and stomp, I got soul and I know where you’re headed
So if you want what I got come get it
And if not than go and just forget it
Cause in the light I can see you faking, over rated
Let’s face it close the case gangsta’s
Bass to your face, with faith based answers
I got anthems, ain’t talking hansom
Bloods on your hands you wash and just abandon
I wanna talk to ye, put God in ye
In a non threatened way, it’s calling ye
Start walking yo, what’s stalling ye
You’ve fallen "Get UP"
So I’ll
Be the first to, introduce you
To the one that’s trapped inside you
Don’t turn away
Away from yourself
Every time you, buy into
All the lies of the life they’re feeding you
Don’t play their game, it’s not the way, don’t turn away from yourself
I’m not the type to write just to go fight yall
I’m holding mic’s to light the fire up in us
Taking flight to heights it’s so ridiculous
I see lies coming out your mouths & such
Yall selling it yall don’t believe in it
Yall keep yelling it, we start repeating it
Brainwashing us you fake and pose cool
I see right through you, right through
So I’ll
Be the first to, introduce you
To the one that’s trapped inside you
Don’t turn away
Away from yourself
Every time you, buy into
All the lies of the life they’re feeding you
Don’t play their game, it’s not the way, don’t turn away from yourself
Don’t’ turn away,
You got to listen
Don’t play the game
It’s all in act and
It’s not the Way
Come on be real
Following ye heart is the only way you’ll get it
They try to take me yawning, I hear that alarm and
Got to get ahead of the game they keep calling in
I hear them following, yo they just bothering,
Me from walking in my dreams all hollering
I make a choice and I live it, I give it
All to the cause even if we all fall
I scene what’s really real
They lie, cheat, and steal
This one's for all the people who talk
Shoot you down before you reach the top
Cause they just don't know much about me
You know the types that say this and that
Jealous types trying to hold you back
Soon it will be as clear as can be
For those who feel that they need to speak
My life is more than stories on beats
You’d know that if you new about me
Can I just rock a rhyme one time?
Elevate minds enjoy the vibe
Like 93 till infinity I’m alive
I light the vicinity spit the rhyme
But I still receive cut eye, when I, bust rhyme
Must be the light or the shine from the white
It can’t be the skill or the beat or the mic
Could it be jealousy that you’re not quite like, me
I’m not like you your attitude is at the altitude
Like dude I want to battle you
I’m not budging only God’s judging
You can take the glory, I’m not fake fronting
Nothings stopping me, God’s still calling me
Your own insecurities is killing ye softly
The rap artist, dissed than disregarded
Stick around yo I’m just getting started
This one's for all the people who talk
Shoot you down before you reach the top
Cause they just don't know much about me
You know the types that say this and that
Jealous types trying to hold you back
Soon it will be as clear as can be
For those who feel that they need to speak
My life is more than stories on beats
You’d know that if you new about me
All of a sudden I’m becoming the talk of the town
Cause my lyrics seem to be getting more positive now
It’s true I’m the same dude they talking about
Cause I don’t hand out tracks when I’m walking around
But I know "what you know"
Only God can judge me, so if it’s only God that loves me
I’m OK, I can say that, I’m a man of God so when I make raps
I’m like eight tracks, I don’t play they can talk the talk
I walk the walk, while they at mardi Grais and in the dark there lost
I don’t stop to watch I walk with God like ladi dah
They still watching, they probably are
You can’t catch me or form a weapon against me
The best kept secret has sworn to protect me
If you got a problem I suggest you arrest me
I’m not guilty, dirty, but not filthy
Like the Kennedy’s you wanna put an end to me
Bullet in my melodies but ye never met me
I love my enemies not just cause it says so
I got joy un-control over flowing yo
Don’t hate it you’ll keep us separated
Intro: I can’t stop the chase…. I can’t stop the chase…
Verse I
Always feel like I’m on the run
Feel guilty when I’m having fun
Only work seems to turn me on
Burning out, and I’ve just begun
Brain won’t stop, chase the clock
Race to the top take it all
Girl I know, I need to come home
In my world surrounded alone
If I could you know I would
Knock on wood I know I should
Slow it down, one more round
See this crowd let me rock them out
CHORUS:
I’m in the middle of the race
Can’t stop the chase
They’re pulling away
I got to be on top
My dreams on lock
They won’t let go of me
I can’t stop the chase
It’s too late can’t turn it off, till I reach the top won’t ever stop
Til you know my name
Got to keep the pace, cause your never gonna stop the chase
I can’t stop the chase, I can’t stop the chase
Verse II
Still going Yup,
Haven’t talked to myself in awhile
Touring round, round, mashed out
Don’t want let me down
Now(hah) spitted, with uh, kicked with ah
Freestyle, can anybody huh, freak me out
When I’m on stage I get so wild
Cause I got great faith, stepping in late, I stayed straight
I got it made it’s just my destiny---- UH
CHORUS:
I’m in the middle of the race
Can’t stop the chase
They’re pulling away
I got to be on top
My dreams on lock
They won’t let go of me
I can’t stop the chase
It’s too late can’t turn it off, till I reach the top won’t ever stop
Until you know my name
Got to keep the pace cause your never gonna stop the chase
Verse III
I woke up in a sweat again
Choked up from the medicine
Can’t sleep keep wrestling
Success is so dangerous
If I chill can’t pay the bills
If I’m ill can’t spit the real
Some would kill for the life I live
Some will build sacrifice and win
Chased them all faced them all
Paced the hallway walls and brawled
Just no way I can turn it off; but
Some how always turn back to God
Intro:
To be on the top of the world
To be on the top of the world
Verse I
The stores are open people buying, people trying climbing
To get to the top of the world, in this modern day war and it’s Simple Simon
I’m paying my bills she’s taking some pills he’s drunk and behind the wheel
Actors acting, rappers rapping trapped in a drug of a deal
Homeless or looking for meals the thief is still looking to steal
You chasing the money or chasing you praying for marriage, romancing your honey
I’m searching but where does it end, I’m leaning on calling on a friend
I’m running, and running, for someone, to lend me a hand or to help me ascend
Pre-Chorus:
To be on top of the world
Gotcha, gotcha ye girl
Its watch you wanted watch you want
It’s what you’re living for
To be on top of the world
Gotcha, gotcha ye girl
Its watch you wanted watch you want
It’s what you’re living for
Chorus:
Hey, Hey, got to believe in something
Hey, Hey, you got to climb to the top of the world,
Hey, got to believe in something
Show you the way, every day is a mission to be
On Top of the world
Verse II
Its 9’oclock right on the dot and you’ll be here to 5
Armies are marching on the fields we pray they all survive
Peace on earth to all men, the stars they shine from heaven
It’s whatcha you want, it’s what ye want, it’s what we’re living for
A boy and girl they hold hands, I hope it lasts forever
It’s never enough to find one that you love and not just seeking self to pleasure
What is this mountain you climb? Is it for peace or for pride?
The prize, the goals, the thoughts inside are motives comes alive
CHORUS REPEATS
Verse III
Left, right, left, right, step into the lime light
Get into your car drive, everything is alright
It’s alright, alright, everything is alright
Live like it’s your last night, (LIVE LIKE ITS YOUR LAST NIGHT)
I wanna live forever, while storing up some treasures
I wanna go to heaven and never be abandoned
I’m spending my time now renewing my mind to the truth I climb so high
I find and apply to my life the joy I will lift up my eyes
It’s funny I never thought that I’d be homeless
I used to walk by them, now I’m living on the corners
Stretching for a touch of a hand, a dollar bill or a chance
Give me your sandwich bag, man I’ll do anything
With thoughts of desperation my hearts racing
I’m not star gazing I could die of starvation
Hallucinated from the day’s wasted
Lost track of time while my mind aging
People looking at me like a lost patient
Like I’m already dead why they all hating
Did I choose this life, or life choose me
I ran away at sweet 16 mommy do you miss me, this is Krissy
So I run, and I run, and I ran and I ran praying maybe some day we meet again
Cause It hurts when you hurt, and I hurt and I feel, like I’m healed can we all just make a mends
I run and I run and I run, and I run
Good bye to the world, good bye to my girl
Say hello to my home the street corner
Its absurd every word that was spoken
It must come alive cause my life is still broken
Wondering did I miss it, what mistake did I make? Can I fix it?
These streets of gone ballistic
This isn’t what I thought it would be, where’s daddy
Is he still mad at me, I wonder would he have me
Back in the home, back in the zone, back where I can’t eat
Where’s there’s heat and use a phone
Cause it hurts and I know I never said good bye
I ran away I thought like anything I could fly
Mom and dad are you there, are you listening
I want to come home, but scared of the mess I’m in
Please forgive me of the things I committed
Against you against me, our family tree
And I know we haven’t spoke in so long, I was so wrong
To think I could live on, on my own accord
I’m a take the train home, but I need to know
If you’ll welcome me back through your life’s door?
Show me a sign with a red ribbon, hang one on the side of the train building
And if I see it than I’ll know that your still willing,
And if not I won’t ever call or visit
I’ll pretend that I’m re-living the beginning,
Like when we used talk in the kitchen, without all the fights & friction
This is me wishing, one of your ex children
Picturing praying that you got the same feelings,
Verse I
I’m stepping out with a style like a face lift
To all the haters out there you got to change it
It’s not OK, with me NO, it’s not OK get on board
Who doesn’t like a brand new pair of shoes?
Just got it cut showing off the hair due
I’ve been here once before
I’ve been there now no more
This is more than a fashion statement
This is me living out my patience
Pick out from a choice of favorites
What jeans, what shirt, holla mayhem
Amen to the man that made it
I’m a rock it on the stage when I’m playing
I’m fresh to step with the good looks got the hood shook
Take a good look stepping with the good foot, OH!!
Chorus:
So watch me turn it up loud
I’m taking over the town
I’m sticking out from the crowd
I’m stepping out there!!!
I got the craziest style
That you can see it for miles
So paparazzi go wild
I’m stepping out there, now!!!
Verse II
Yo dude, check out this shirt here
That’s dope man get it in the black ye
Dang man this one it don’t fit
So hip, but I’ll get it in white I guess
My girls gonna trip on it, gonna trip on it
When she sees my outfit I’m a so rock it
With the shoes, got to wear the shoes
Nomis hoodie in the white and blue
Its style, it’s on it’s me
It’s now its fresh it’s free
So shocking, popping, locking
Heads nodding, rocking
I’m stepping out!!!
Chorus:
So watch me turn it up loud
I’m taking over the town
I’m sticking out from the crowd
I’m stepping out there!!!
I got the craziest style
That you can see it for miles
So paparazzi go wild
I’m stepping out there, now!!!
Break Down (Bridge)
I’m stepping out there, NOW!!!
I’m stepping out there, NOW!!!
I’m stepping out there, NOW!!!
Verse III
When I step in a room, I want all eyes gazed
All eye brows raised yeah he’s got taste
Hey that’s the guy with the crazy style
Stepping so fly dressed to stick out
Known to walk by head is held high
Not cocky, confident recognize
Clothes don’t make me, but sure acquaint me
If ye feel me, come on and get crazy!!

Verse I
Another show, another freestyle another note,
Another seed sown deep into the hearts of those
Through a microphone speaking in a hyper tone
Flights around the globe from Japan to Calico
I’m only one man with one chance, and one command
God as my witness I won’t given, I’m all in
No matter how big or small or monies involved
I won’t falter or fall I’m giving you my all
Chorus
Every time, every mind, every music note,
Man, it’s beautiful, it’s so beautiful
Every city, every town, every decimal,
It’s irrepressible, I’m a professional
Every kick, every snare every line I write,
It’s ‘cause you are my light
Every vision, every dream, every sleepless night,
Is right there when I hold this mic
Verse II
You called me again called me your friend
Even when I didn’t call back ye still lent me your hand
When I didn’t have a cent, and on the floor we slept
You still kept a close eye though I didn’t understand
Every mile I drove every city and home
Another mile stone, wild you never left me alone
Though I don’t always get it, I could never forget it
How you saved me made me, forever I’ll tell it
Chorus
Every time, every mind, every music note,
Man, it’s beautiful, it’s so beautiful
Every city, every town, every decimal,
It’s irrepressible, I’m a professional
Every kick, every snare, every line I write,
It’s ‘cause you are my light
Every vision, every dream, every sleepless night,
Is right there when I hold this mic
BRIDGE
When I’m out of line,
You’re always by my side,
And when I fall behind,
You pick me up/
When I try to climb,
Feel like I’m losin’ my mind,
You, I can always find,
You’re beau-ti-ful/
Verse III
Every time I fell down you knelt down to help out
Ye so proud of me now, you called me to reach out
With these sounds and freestyles overseas to speak out
I can see it now you had it planned for awhile
When everything else fails you are where I dwell
Wind under my sails, thunder that brings health
Wonder of the earth, love and cover my hurts
Up and coming so stunning you’ve been healing my world
Chorus
Every time, every mind, every music note,
Man, it’s beautiful, it’s so beautiful
Every city, every town, every decimal,
It’s irrepressible, I’m a professional
Every kick, every snare every line I write,
It’s ‘cause you are my light
Every vision, every dream, every sleepless night,
Is right there when I hold this mic
Every time, every mind, every music note,
You’re Beautiful,
Every city, every town, every decimal,
You’re Beautiful,
Every kick, every snare every line I write,
You’re Beautiful,
Every vision, every dream every sleepless night
I could never say no
Making my veins glow
Take another one
Try to let the pain go
I know it's killing me
It's not my destiny
I float in outer space
I'm in another place
Then I black out
Wake up and I'm so afraid
This burden's suffocating
By a thread I'm barely hanging
All the nights, and all the lies you sold to me
I sacrificed and lost a time I'll never see
You stared and you kicked me as I crawl
Watch me stand when you thought I'd fall
I'll make this prison break
Suffering the same road
Stuck in the same clothes
When I try to run
Hunt me in my cage closed
My world is twist and tattered
My heart is beat and battered
Even when I'm shaken
About to cave in
My faith rises
I can feel my spirit raging
I pray and someone hears me
Today I'm done believing
All the nights, and all the lies you sold to me
I sacrificed and lost a time I'll never see
You stared and you kicked me as I crawl
Watch me stand when you thought I'd fall
I'll make this prison break
I won't keep walking blind
I won't let down my eyes
You won't fool me this time
Take control of my life
Manifest in the light
I won't lay down and die!
All the nights, and all the lies you sold to me
I sacrificed and lost a time I'll never see
You stared and you kicked me as I crawl
Watch me stand when you thought I'd fall
You're standing on the edge of disaster
Telling me you can't go on
I can hear your heart beating faster
Wondering what you did wrong
Broken inside, losing your fight
I know what it's like to break
So let me hold you through the pain
I know what you're fighting for
You're in the middle of a war
Even down on your broken road
There's still hope
You are not alone
Tell me what you're waiting for
Just let me open up the door
To give you hope
You are not alone
(You're not alone, you're not alone)
You are not alone
(You're not alone, you're not alone)
You are not a slave to the master
A prisoner inside your mind
I can't even see what you're after
But I will never leave your side
Never lose hope,
End of your rope
Staring death face to face
Will you stand or walk away
I know what you're fighting for
You're in the middle of a war
Even down on your broken road
There's still hope
You are not alone
Tell me what you're waiting for
Just let me open up the door
To give you hope
You are not alone
(You're not alone, you're not alone)
You are not alone
(You're not alone, you're not alone)
I'll light you up
When your flame is out
I'll pick you up
When your world is down
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I'll light you up
When your flame is out
I'll pick you up
When your world is down
Don't be afraid
I know what you're fighting for
You're in the middle of a war
Even down on your broken road
There's still hope
You are not alone
Tell me what you're waiting for
Just let me open up the door
To give you hope
You are not alone
(You're not alone, you're not alone)
You are not alone
Verse I
There’ve been days I lost my way and backed down
Time I wasted, placed you in the background
I can’t take it, parade and fake this,
Separated tainted, it’s got me on the run now
I don’t want to be on the run now
Create a love in me I’ll put it all down
Shake the pain, replace it let me run now
Faith is waiting I’m facing what’s in front now
Pre-Chorus
It’s not like I’m not trying to work it out
But things are so much harder when you’re not around
Chorus:
I’m not always who you think I am
Sometimes I feel like I’m the renegade
And I can’t just sit back and watch it fade
This time I hope you see, I’m not the enemy
Verse II
I’m gonna make it, shake it on the jump now
I’m gonna break it, fade it put the gun down
Amazing grace, mistakes erased come round
I’m gonna do what it takes, remain and run in the race
Saved a wretch like me you never let down
I can see the dream I’ll never let drowned
I’m not a saint but hey I’m up above ground
I’m now awake I’ll chase I’ll never run out
Pre-Chorus
It’s not like I’m not trying to work it out
But things are so much harder when you’re not around
Chorus:
I’m not always who you think I am
Sometimes I feel like I’m the renegade
And I can’t just sit back and watch it fade
This time I hope you see, I’m not the enemy
BRIDGE:
I’m not a renegade, I’m not a renegade, no matter what you say,
I’m not a renegade, I’m not a renegade, no matter what you say, I’m not a renegade
I’m not a renegade, I’m not a renegade, no matter what you say, I’m not a renegade!!!!
I’m not a renegade!!!
Pre-Chorus
It’s not like I’m not trying to work it out
But things are so much harder when you’re not around
Chorus:
I’m not always who you think I am
Sometimes I feel like I’m the renegade
And I can’t just sit back and watch it fade
This time I hope you see I’m not the enemy
I’m not a renegade, I’m not a renegade, no matter what you say, I’m not a renegade
Sometimes I feel like I want to quit
No one will notice if
I forfeit my soul blow myself with a clip
That’s my father did no gun, a noose and he hung
My mom found him in the basement there as he swung
At 5 years old what does that do to a kid
Produced a maniac anthrax type of a kid
I hear an ambulance, sirens I’m told to be silent
I’m blind trying to find why my house is a riot
Got to go can’t take it, Uncle Dave’s face is changing
I race to find my father in the bottom of the basement
My mothers covered in tears her face filling with fear
Bang’s on the floor shout’s to God why am I are hear
Scared to even ask, where my dad is at the time
I guess for now it’s just a memory
Mom where’s dad, where is he mom, where’s dad
Chorus
This is my life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Is there a light that can shine on me?
Dear God I pray you hear homie This is Chris your son praying feeling so lonely
My life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Can you relate to me? Probably not
You still hate ya father, wanna to kill ya mom
Got a dad attacking in the night at around 1:00
Feet are like drums coming to you, ya can’t run
Struggle with the thoughts, am I normal or not
Abused all my life even when I called out to God
What the flip, it’s a shame what happens in the dark
Invisible to people all they seeing is the scars
Hold on yo, use gonna make it
Your spirit can’t be broken, soul not taken
Praying in the power of the tongue for my friends
New Testament Jesus Christ let him in
Ya brains still confused what am I suppose to do
When ya folks choke, tie vocal ropes around you
Walls fall down surround you forget living I’ll never fitting
God’s love is real no matter what you’ve ever been in
Chorus
My life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Is there a light that can shine bright won’t burn?
Afterlife when I see Christ Soul journ
Bridge
This is my life lord can ye shine on me
Can anybody hear me?
Lord can you save me?
Have you ever felt like you wanna die?
End in the night, say good bye like a Lola bye
And just close ya eyes
Those lies almost killed me,
Feeling filthy, no ability to move
Commit suicide I won’t be guilty
There’s no perfect life, it’s all media hype,
The TV screen’s feeding ya right
I’ve seen both sides of it by now, I would a bowed down
A new sound the lost can be found
You’re in some real dirt, ya life kind a sucks
Ya might adjust, but you’d rather die in the dust
I’ve had enough I look to him, and in God I trust
When you're awake and you can't believe your eyes
'Cause all the truth that you knew has turned to lies
When you're scared and you can't see past a day
Remember who holds tomorrow
Know His love will light your way
Hold on when everything is shaking
Stand strong when the ground is falling through
Reach out to my hand in the darkness
That's holding you
I'll be, your peace in the waiting
Your strength when you're broken on the floor
Hold on it's all worth fighting for
'Cause I will never let you go
I will never let you go
When you look in the mirror and you run away
'Cause all you see are the scars from yesterday
When your parade goes by and you feel alone
Never lose hope to sorrow
You're closer than you know
Hold on when everything is shaking
Stand strong when the ground is falling through
Reach out to my hand in the darkness
That's holding you
I'll be, your peace in the waiting
Your strength when you're broken on the floor
Hold on it's all worth fighting for
'Cause I will never let you go
I will never let you go
When the road is hard
And your faith is shaken
Never look back on the steps you're taking
You're more to me than you could ever know
Hold on when everything is shaking
Stand strong when the ground is falling through
Reach out to my hand in the darkness
I'm holding you
I'll be, your peace in the waiting
Your strength when you're broken on the floor
Hold on it's all worth fighting for
'Cause I will never let you go
I will never let you go
I will never let you go

Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and fighting for freedom
Verse I (Mana)
This is the last time, I'll cry lullabies
All night can't sleep I hear the floors creek
I feel shadows in my room
My friends find another bruise
I'm a end up on the news
I just don't know what to do

Send an angel send two
I want a move but I'm trapped in the outer room
I know you hear me clearly I'm weary
Come and fill me with your power heal me

Feel like an animal, I'm ready to lose control
Take everything you need, take every part of me
Give me some room to breathe,before I lose control

Gotta find away
Gotta break the chains

It seems impossible
It's not impossible
Verse II (Trevor)
I'm tired so tired of walking through this fire
If you want to find me I'll be here in my room

Need to get out before you start swinging
Wish I could show you all the pain inside me
Bridge
It seems impossible
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
For me to loose control
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
Alternate 2nd Verse
I'm so tired a walking this line through the fire
If you want to find me I'm in my room retired
Hiding this feeling I'm thinking your drinking
Sinking deep ducking under your swinging, out a commission
Living cold day's hallways filled with the mistakes
Wish I could show you all the pain inside it's caused me
It used to be a house, a home now it's neither yo

You can LEAN ON ME when you go through the storm
You can LEAN ON ME when you’re feeling alone

Aint’ gonna be stressing out, I’m gonna twist and shout
It’s gonna be a good day, a good day
Verse I
I’m walking out the door
Don’t know what’s in store
I got my sneakers on
I’m feeling like I’m steaming hot
I jump in my car, oh dang it’s 9’0clock
I see a finger flip my mirror like it’s my fault
To the left, left, turn to the right, right
I better step, step, fast caught another light
I got 5 little itty bitty minutes
To pick, pick it, pick it up, or I’m finished
Yeah, I’m a little misunderstood I’d change it if I could
But I know it’s gonna be all gggg-good
Chorus:
It’s gonna be a good day, a good day
It’s gonna be a good day, a good day

It’s gonna be okay, it’s gonna be a good
Because I know it’s gonna be a good, good day
It’s gonna be a good day, a good day
Verse II
Again I’m late for work
I’m feeling like a jerk
I wanna curse and go berserk,
And kick some furniture (KICK IT)
I see my boss, he sees me,
I see the clock, I can’t leave
He waves me over coming closer
I wipe the dirt off my shoulders
Take a deep, deep breath, let it go
Don’t freak out get control
Don’t w, w w, worry, I warned ye
Can’t let this stress get on ye
Sh, sh, shake it off, br, br, break it off
Superstitious, knock on wood

Chorus intro:
Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I’m
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I’m gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I’m still alive not forsaken
Verse I
I used to want it so bad, I was so mad
Why can’t I have a life like he has, autographs
Record tracks tour the globe and rap
It was a dream that seemed out of my grasp or wouldn’t last
Months passed, spent cash, all that I had
Had to borrow just to stay at my pad, and no gas
When dreams turn bitter and I know I’m not a quitter
I repaint the picture and start with something clearer
I know what it’s like yo, to work so hard, watch it fall apart
After leaving your job
God’s got your back it’s free at no charge
Speak I’m free and believe with your heart
Chorus:
Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I’m
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I’m gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I’m still alive not forsaken
Verse II
My road was long I choked and coughed
I froze and lost, I brushed it off
I wrote to God, Hear me
I got a problem here, can’t you see I’m sinking
I’m shrinking, I’m tripping, slipping, searching for some wisdom
Since time is ticking I’ve been thinking I’m a sleeping victim
Incline my ear listen I was blind I’m here to switch it
This is when I call to you I’m crawling balling out
Falling up to walk with you I’m here to put it down
Anything I don’t know, download to my soul
Let me be free so I can free those in pot wholes
Let me sleep breezy like the beaches in Taho
Helped me see clearly you perform the impossible
Chorus Repeats
Verse III
I’ve been on and off, searching for a better job
Hip hop gave me an out let to set it off
My God saves I’m free to just sing a song
I walk straight to goals as if my team won
Like the pentagon free to drop a bigger bomb
Figured my sisters and brothers they need a leader son
Teeter tottered not wanting to bother
Children need a father not just payment with dollars
Home of the brave were known to rescue and save
In a moment we change, we can’t settle for slave
Hold to the dream go big or go home
Freedoms in the heart mind, body & soul
Sometimes I don’t even wanna leave my house
These fake fears wrestle me to the flipping ground
I’m not scared of dying maybe scared of failing
So I stop trying evil thoughts start prevailing
There’s a devil out there seeking to take me out
I see him in my nightmares when I scream and shout
Even though it’s a dream it sure feels real
I know I got an angel watching in the rear near
In the midst of triumph seems there’s a tragedy
I know I’ve won even though they want to battle me
Adamantly down on my knees pray fervently
White hot never stop till I’m in the heavenly’
So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
There’s something different, magnificent
About these Christians who talk and live in this
Lifestyle of putting pride down, it hasn’t died out,
It’s widely spread out and I
Can’t deny its power, people getting healed every hour
How do we explain this, cure for aids and patients?
They said he wouldn’t walk now he’s racing, tell me what’s changing
I’m pointing fingers at the sky,
Cause some things I can’t deny no matter if I try
I’m a walk in faith
Cause I can see you even if it’s not your face
You Are
So beautiful so powerful, so wonderful
Undeniable you you you are, you you, you are, you are you are
So beautiful so powerful, omnipotent
Undeniable you you you are, you you are, you are you are
Glory and honor the father we’ll give him
The glory and honor the father rejoice in him
I’ve read a lot of books, turned all sorts of pages
But only one where the letters all illuminated
It’s like it’s jumping out at me speaking right to me
You see right through me there’s no fooling
I can’t hide from you why do I hide under?
Lies come I stutter cry out I love ye
The greatest gift so many are oblivious
You sent your kid to die only so that I could live
They bringing me down you lifting me up
I’m living your word hearing your sound, feeling a rush
Just the way I am, come as you are
Verse I
Last night got a little crazy
I don’t remember, woke up spun feelin lazy
My friends say I was spaced out,
Passed out on a dirty couch, still in the house
It kinda scares me, I don’t know
Am I out of control, always waking up still in my clothes
I wrote a note that said goodbye to pain, goodbye to shame
But couldn’t find a way, I just cry for days
I’m so depressed, soakin' wet, I can’t rest
These thoughts just beat me to death; I’m unkept
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But it’s been so long I can’t remember the words
Chorus:
Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, I’m right here, with you
Every time you run
Verse II
I keep sleeping in, don’t want to wake up
I keep hearing from the landlord, 'pay up'
Hide my face in my pillow till the sun sets
Hung over and I haven’t seen a pay check
I took a job downtown at the factory
I was hired and fired with no salary
I keep running from responsibility
It seems impossible, the pressure is hitting me
I know I need to man up, or sit down
Stand up and get out of this crowd
I thought of a song my mom used to sing in church
But it’s been so long I can’t remember the words
Chorus:
Every time you run, every time you hide
Every time it hurts, every time you cry
Every time you run away, every time you hide your face
And it feels so far away, I’m right here, with you
Verse III
Well, I know I’m not ready to die, But I’ve
Sure thought about the meaning of life
Cause I can’t seem to find a purpose for me
It’s just the choices and I fail to proceed
I got a “get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up"
I hear voices in my mind, one's a devil, one's Jesus
I can feel it. Can you help me find the pieces?
Like an angel on my shoulder, you hold the
Joy of the lord raising up a soldier
You gave me the song my mom used to sing in church
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words
I promised not to quit and I remembered the words
You want me to sprint
You want me to run
And I can't go on
2nd winds coming
Blood starts pumping
I was never nothing, no, no
Not nothing
Never, never, never say never
Out from the dust got better
Found love buried like a treasure
I will never give up
Done with the hickups
I'm a man on a mission
A man with a vision
When dreams come alive
Whimps don't survive
Will I cross that line
Time will tell
This is my life
Since I was a boy
I've known that voice
Now I'm a man
I've made my choice
Ooooh, I'm going all the way
Ooooh, I'm giving everything
No room for compromise
Willing to sacrifice
Ooooh, it's time I come alive
C-C-C-come alive
Less than a second
Know no limits
Till I hear finished
Still goin' kill it
Write it,
Let every homeboy bite it
Gone
Standing on a psalm
With God on my arm
Witness the business
Interest and income
Building the kingdom
I'm not a victim
I got a plan
I'll take a stand
I say we can
(I say we can)
Running the race
With blood on my face
Don't play it safe
I'm still on the chase
Since I was a boy
I've known that voice
Now I'm a man
I've made my choice
Ooooh, I'm going all the way
Ooooh, I'm giving everything
No room for compromise
Willing to sacrifice
Ooooh, it's time I come alive
Did you ever think that you could fly
Did you ever stop to even try
Have you ever dreamed past a day
Have you ever given wings to faith
There's a hero buried deep inside
Let it out and watch it come alive
Ooooh, I'm going all the way
Ooooh, I'm giving everything
No room for compromise
Willing to sacrifice
Ooooh, it's time I come alive
It's time I come alive
I thought I knew it all, but I didn't
I thought I'd seen it all, just beginning
Sometimes we fall before we finish
This ain't a call, it's just realness
I never knew my dad, I'd just hide it
I never took a class, I'd just write it
Sometimes I don't like what I see
Sometimes it's so hard to believe
Chorus:
Down and out, I
Start to doubt, I
Hit the ground, I'm bruised but I won't break
I won't break
You can say I'm done, but this has just begun
I'm a fighter! I'm a fighter!
I'm not afraid of death, you ain't seen nothing yet
Burned up my past,
Pushed on the gas,
Took off my mask, still all in black
If I don't know I just ask,
I'm a grown man, sold as
Cold world never looking back
Went and got my stripes, paid cash
I believe in God, I can beat the odds
You'll see me on the screen in gauze
Chorus:
Down and out, I
Start to doubt, I
Hit the ground, I'm bruised but I won't break
I won't break
You can say I'm done, but this has just begun
I'm a fighter! I'm a fighter!
I'm not afraid of death, you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm a fighter! I'm a fighter!
Stand and fight
Gotta get up, crossed the line, can't give up!
Won't run away from my enemy,
Too far to quit, gotta man up
Now's the time, gotta stand up
You can say I'm done, but this has just begun
I'm a fighter! I'm a fighter!
I'm not afraid of death, you ain't seen nothing yet
Verse I
I made the jump in 2000
To see if I can climb up this mountain
Every day seems like a thousand
Even if I’m hit I keep bouncing
I don’t like it, but it don’t phase me
I could complain but I keep playing
The games crazy
I live it daily, in choices no chances
Suck your thumb or start standing
Look up at the world, there’s opportunities, girl
The possibilities stir me up I’m willing to learn
I’m just saying
I want it all, cash, clothes, and the gold
I want it all, 1 wife, 3 kids and a home
I want it all, God show me the road
I want it all but won’t forfeit my soul
I want freedom
Chorus
Free!!
All I want is to be Free
In your arms I’m gonna be
That’s where I’m free
And I’m breaking down the walls
Just set me Free
Oh, oh, ho, oh, ho, ho, oh
I just got to believe that a, a, one day I’ll be free
uh huh, yeah
Verse II
I got so many things that I could scream about
But got too many dreams I can’t leave them now
In my struggle and stress I wouldn’t leave the house
In the hustle no rest I couldn’t free myself
I was clouded, I doubted, I felt surrounded
Down in a cell, I needed counseling
I could speak to five thousand
But I was still drowning help me out!!!
Here’s what I think about
Giving up, no
Dying young, no
Lying tongue, no
Maybe I should cheat, and no
I read books for inspiration
My constant motivation
In the Bible found salvation
My only purpose is permanence
Make your mark and take courage
I got freedom
Chorus
Free!!
All I want is to be Free
In your arms I’m gonna be
That’s where I’m free
And I’m breaking down the walls
Just set me Free
Oh, oh, ho, oh, ho, ho, oh
BRIDGE
We all searching for peace, I just got to believe that

Verse I
You see that girl over there man, watch it
She’ll take you out like an electric socket
She’s the type of girl that’s on the move
When you fall in love she’s like it’s over dude
You ever hear that song girls ain’t nothing but trouble
She’s that one that’ll bust your bubble
Make you stumble take you under,
Wonder why you said I love her
Lust is so blind sometimes to the eyes
Love is so fine brings peace to the mind
We don’t talk cause she text me all the time
I don’t stalk cause I’m not that type a guy
She says I love my Xbox a little too much
I say woe easy girl on the make up
Say what, you really want to break up
Yo girl you need to chill and just wake up
CHORUS:
It’s a break up oh no
Ahhhh She’s from Venus and I’m from Mars
It’s a break up oh no
Ahhh She’s from Venus and I’m from Mars
I try to understand it
But I’m just not from her planet, dang it
It’s a break up oh no
Ahhhh She’s from Venus And I’m from Mars
It’s a break up oh no
Ahhh She’s from Venus And I’m from Mars
Don’t call my house, don’t call my house
It ain’t working out, it ain’t working out
Verse II
And I know we just fought last night, But ah
Can we squash it, you still love me right
You’re not talking come on say something
Come on girl friend, stop that fronting
I’d never hit ye, a man don’t hit a girl
My world has stopped for your baby
I’ve learned I’m not just to say things
Words hurt and I know I’m guilty
Forgive me, cause I’ve cut you deeply
This seasons changing aint it
You’re leaving in your spaceship
My one and not my favorite
Call me I’ll be waiting
Call me I’ll be waiting
Chorus Repeats
Bridge:
Ladies are from Venus
(That’s a long, long way from mars)
So help us dear Jesus
(Does she love me or does she love my car)
I try to understand but I’m just a simple man
Verse III
Don’t pretend like you don’t know
You know, what you said on the phone
No, no no, you didn’t got me tripping
I guess were just way too different
People and I got to go now
Please don’t call me at my house
My heart is broke in two halves
One smashed the other in re-hab
My bad, my cash, can’t buy love
You tricked me, kissed me with hugs
One love, One God, one day
We’ll understand each other just maybe!!!
Verse I
I’m going out with a crash
Tear it up with my past
If you want it Bring the ruckus Turn it up a notch
You want to see me burn, but burning up your barns and
vermin
I’m busting verses and rehearsing for your burial
I’m doing cartwheels and aerials
Get out my way before I bury you
Carry you, out of my face is the scenario,
Telling you to come and bring the ruckus,
CHORUS:
You can try but you won’t take me down
I’m standing on my ground
As all the fear inside me fades away
You can try to get a reaction
But you’re no distraction to me
Bring the ruckus to me, bring the ruckus, bring the
ruckus to me, Bring the Ruckus
Verse II
This ain’t the first or the last
I’m pistol-whipping the track
If you want it, come and get it
You can’t walk my path

Loaded weapons unloading on you
With every word
Shake you down into a misery, history
Know my enemy you’re not a friend of me fade away
Forever my time, all stars shine.
Telling you to come and BRING THE RUCKUS
CHORUS:
You can try but you won’t take me down

Lost in the moment freeze it, hold it
Bounce for me now one time like ye own it
Verse I
Mr. Manafest is back
Fists up in the air attack
This the year I almost cracked
Souvenir among the pack
Tour around because of rap
Wind me up and let me smash
Take me home and put me in
Turn me on and hear me sing
Post my picture on your wall
Read about me on the blog
Go online and get my songs
Buy them all and party on,
Yo!!!!!
I won’t be the one to fall
Follow me I carry on
Hit you like a sabotage
Kick it like I’m at a park
Get em off, get me lost
Hide me in this room and lock
The door and toss the key away
I’d rather be alone “okay”
A stow away, go away
Can’t you see, don’t bother me
Get out or I’m gonna freak
Chorus:
Hey I need a place
To get composure
Now I need, your face
To get me over
Unbelievable how I stay sober
I can feel Alive,
I'm better cause of you
Verse II
Round and round I tour the globe
Show to show, I flip the flow
I sip a soda hit the sauna
Chilling sober still a soldier
Sister, mother, fatal father,
Fist to sin I finish farther
It’s like I’m treading water
Sinking and it’s getting darker
Mr. Mana needs to manage his anger
His tantrums going bananas
Its random hands in a panic
He’s standing
Ramping up to blow up
The gold rush, is so hush
Yo know what,
I think I’ve had enough
Pull me up
I’m getting out here
I’m out of control
Fear has taken it’s toll
I’m going back to my home
Follow me if you want
It’s not easy I warn
But it gets results baby
Won’t you leave me alone
Chorus:
Hey I need a place
To get composure
Now I need, your face
To get me over
Unbelievable how I stay sober
I can feel Alive,
I'm better cause of you
BRIDGE:
I act like I don’t know you
I crash you’re the first I go to
When I’m down and feeling alone
“I’M BETTER OFF WITH YOU”
I act like I don’t know you
I crash you’re the first I go to
When I’m down and feeling alone
“I’M BETTER OFF WITH YOU”
Will you catch me if I fall down?
If I fall down
Will you catch me?
If I fall
[X2]
Kicked out of the womb he was forgotten
Step child exiled and then adopted
Cold feet beneath these sheets of cotton
Can't sleep his stomach keeps talking
Passed around from New York to Boston
New school, no family wants him
In the church he prays to God often
Says a prayer with his hands raised calling
Will you catch me if I fall down?
If I fall down
Will you catch me?
If I fall
[X2]
Take this curse out of me
Pull me out of this dream
I need a Saviour tonight
He was a legend in the streets of Compton
No police or brigade could stop him
Hell's Angel out the clouds and fallen
Spent years in a world of Sodom
No prison or family wants him
Born a vagabond losing his conscience
Just a kid turned into a monster
Another lost one calling for father
Will you catch me if I fall down?
If I fall down
Will you catch me?
If I fall
[X2]
Take this curse out of me
Pull me out of this dream
I need a Saviour tonight
The sun will come out tomorrow
The dark will run from the day
You pulled me out of my sorrows
When you call out my name
Will you catch me if I fall down?
If I fall down
Will you catch me?
If I fall
Will you catch me if I fall down?
If I fall down
Will you catch me?
If I fall down
Take this curse out of me
Pull me out of this dream
I’m staring at your picture dad
Pulling up the past
Trying to learn about this father that I never had
So young, so wrong, and ye gone
It’s only, me, mom Virginia & God
Were all alone, and our leader is not home
The crossroads took you or these demons below
I’m feeling the cold, you were not here, not there
When I had my first fight I was so scared
When I had my first kiss I could not share
I was lost and the school they did not care
Why’d you leave me, hanging from the ceiling?
Angels stopped singing and mom’s not sleeping
I’m not bitter or mad, I’m just missing a dad
Sitting here thinking, praying wishing you back
These feeling are wack, almost too much to bare
I know your souls alive I just want to know where
Are you
Why did you leave me
Where are you
Were you thinking of me dad
Are you
Do you love me
Where are you
Than where are you if you do
Well I’m all grown up now moved out a P-Town
Married this girl, mom said you’d be so proud
I even slimmed down I’m hanging with a new crowd
If only you’re around, you’d see what I can do now
I travel the globe, singing bringing a hope
Through hip hop rocking roll lifting the soul
They say I look like you, your smile & eyes too
I got moms hair thank God I was frightful
I know you can’t come back from the past
But the fact that you left and the damage is bad
I don’t know if mom fears or if she ever got healed
Or if she blames you and God over the years
You were my dad, and I was your son
If only you new what it was like growing up
When I look at the sky I get this thought in my mind
And wonder what it be like if your still alive
I’m still trying figure out what when on in the house
What voice was talking loud what made you kill yourself?
Was it something I did, I said, as little kid?
Something like a fib that you can’t forgive?
My life was so hard lost my only body guard
Slowly God healed the scars let’s say you left a mark
I’ve had the same thoughts that talked to you, Talk to me,
I had to see a shrink but now I’m back on my feet
I battle thoughts with words, using psalms & verbs
A new rebirth no longer Am I insecure
I heard a voice say I’ll never leave ye
But I didn’t see ye I’ve forgotten you like amnesia
I believe I’ll see you some where in heaven
Where we can talk and I can ask you a question
But for now, I’m a move on be strong
You won’t call, won’t talk
What’s wrong with ye
We used talk, go for walks
Now I don’t see ye
It’s not the same, like the days
When we used to meet up
You’ve changed in a way
Like you got secrets
You won’t pick up, your mom says ye distant
And I can’t figure this out without your help
I want to know ye, or wanna not know ye
I try to get close ye keep pushing me over
Why won’t you talk to me?
I’d tell you anything
Oh don’t push me away
I want to know you
I want to know you
I’m through with questioning
I thought you felt the same
No don’t push me away
I want to know your thoughts
I want to know your mind
I want to know you I want know you
Let me out this place
Let me into your space place, I want to know you, I want to know you
It’s been two weeks 3 days, I’m not sleeping
I had a dream you were flying this plane leaving
I got a feeling it was real and I wasn’t dreaming
Is it me or not seeing you, has got me freaking?
My self esteem fleeing, a piece of me missing
My friends say I should bail while I’m still breathing
You got to call me, let me know what you’re thinking
I’m free falling, cold, all alone sinking
Sorry this is not in person, but this is not working
I wrote this, hope you get it cause it’s not worth it
Loved people love people
Hurt people hurt people,
You hurt me and it cut lethal
I tried so hard, I was so young
I flied so far thinking it was real love
Now I’m gone so long girl I’ve moved on
Intro: cutz
Verse I
My first birthday was 79, my first worse day when daddy he died
Church on Sunday and you know I would hide, momma dragged me I would put up a fight
Let’s go back to the day, when the schools would pray, when you were safe, no guns and rage
We played songs from M.J, heal the world and ate great
I got to say hey, things sure have changed, but uh
CHORUS:
SO TURN IT UP AND SING THIS SONG A LITTLE LOUDER
SHOUT IT OUT LIKE YOU GOT THE POWER
We’ve only just begun to live
We all need love so let us give
SO TURN IT UP AND SING THIS SONG A LITTLE LOUDER
SHOUT IT OUT LIKE YOU GOT THE POWER
We’ve only just begun to live
We all need love so let us give
Verse II
Well I can tell ye what you want love,
But won’t like the outcome
I’d rather be a falcon flying over mountains
Drowning out the voices still doubting
Shouting out to God for a nation through was founded
People wanna steal, kill destroy, try to fill a void
I wanna bring the joy like playing with toys
Joy still comes in the morning, good morning
Fear still comes to bring torment, torment?
I bet your bottom dollar you can still win tomorrow
And maybe the cup could still be won by Toronto
I heard Jesus Christ was a tough act to follow
And that we all die is a tough pill to swallow
We can say forget it and never go check it
You can write a letter but still never send it
Citizens living in fear come on now
Let this light manifest sing it out loud
CHORUS REPEATS:
Verse III
You can go this way, that way, or that way
U-turn, to learn, we all got a have faith
Mayday were going down, down
No were not man were trying to figure it out
About 2000 and something we’ll all be wondering
Have we moved to Mars, and is the kingdom still coming in
Music is the voice of the people, the mind is a muscle
To fight against evil work it out!!
Wasted
Faded
How did we get so jaded
Hallow
Tomorrow
We can't just throw it away
We can't just throw it away
Woke up, choked up in my sleep
A piece of me drifts away
Not just a meltdown, say you want to leave now
Can't believe how you left just to watch me drown
Come and pick up your things
Before it goes up in flames
Where did I go wrong, pacing up all night long
Singing my sad song married to a time bomb
Wasted
Faded
How did we get so jaded
Hallow
Tomorrow
We can't just throw it away
We can't just throw it away
We got to pull ourselves together
Nothing lasts forever
Pull ourselves together
Move on now or never
'Cause I am
Wasted
Faded
How did we get so jaded
Hallow
Tomorrow
We can't just throw it away
We can't just throw it away
Every time I try to forget
My memory just won't erase
Can't escape, I'm a wreck, I can't sleep
Can't stop drinking, haven't slept in 3 weeks
I don't hate you, no I don't
But won't pretend it's ok
Hate me waste me with every lie
But we can't go back, this is our life
Wasted
Faded
How did we get so jaded
Hallow
Tomorrow
We can't just throw it away
Wasted
Faded
How did we get so jaded
Hallow
Tomorrow
We can't just throw it away
We can't just throw it away
We got to pull ourselves together
Nothing lasts forever
Pull ourselves together
Verse I
This time, I will rise, do or die,
This time, I’ll re-ignite, stand and fight
This time, I will love people cause
It’s a must from above, this time
I was broke, off the road up in smoke, all alone
Saw my pain know my name, made a way
I made a turn, hit the curb, I should a died
Someone came, came for me, I can see, now I’m free!!
CHORUS:
Standing on a hope
Had nowhere to go
It’s supernatural how you saved me
Lost without a prayer
When no one seemed to care
It’s supernatural how you saved me
The supernatural, it’s supernatural
Verse II
This time I’ll be light I will shine,
This time I’ll re-unite stop the lies
This time I will fall in your arms
Sing the psalms of 91 this time (this time)
Pre-Chorus
I thought it was over,
I thought I was done
Stuck in a shadow of what I’ve become
I wouldn’t listen I couldn’t breathe
Lost my vision -now I can see - you came for me
Chorus
Standing on a hope
Had nowhere to go
It’s supernatural how you saved me
Lost without a prayer
When no one seemed to care
It’s supernatural how you saved me
You showed me the light
When I was blind
You're supernatural
BRIDGE
I thought it was over

When I was blind

Look at me, what you see?
Is it him or me? Critic’s is dissing me hard was this meant to be?
The feeling I’m feeling is real, and it’s stealing, the meaning to stay in this field
Many men of tried it, few have ever made it
Most taken out fighting sin temptations
I separate my English, like the French
When I fall, get down repent, what don’t ye get?
Chorus
Rocking me constantly, being somebody, the pressures is calling me
God and society
If do I could fall, if I don’t I will crawl.
It’s so hard having all, isn’t this what I want
I stepped out, fell down, Got up, what now
Put yourself in my shoes, with my crew,
I lose take a ride right through my mind, birds eye view
I stopped caring what yall think a year ago, here we go, radio, video,
Stereo, types cause I’m white, the harder I write, the more lies on my life
Ya tell it in spite
Right to my face, or stab me in the back
Manic depressive no, but I might just snap
This position’s warn out, I want out
It’s what I wanted not what I thought
It was when I was poor now I’m cornered
Knowing now it’s in the past with the wack raps
I’m signing 99 hundred 9 lines of autographs
Most significant feeling like I’m infinite
Critics used to kick my backside now they kissing it
What a switch up, thought I’d a give up
Ridiculous, how I ended up, so what
I ain’t so different, yeah I’m a Christian
Living still winning you got counterfeit religion
I say it in my lines in ya face up to rise
What you want with me this time
You tailing me all night
I know you want to see me patrolled
You hi jacking my joy ride
I'm living a good life
Why can't you leave me alone
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a push
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You can't fill these shoes
You can't make me move
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You thought you catch you a wild one
Thinking I got some
Someone's getting fired tonight
You profile to arrest me
Or you're looking to test me
Sorry but you're out of time
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a push
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You can't fill these shoes
You can't make me move
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
Won't
Play
Your
Games
Just let me be!
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a push
You don't know me, no you don't know me, no
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
You can't fill these shoes
You can't make me move
I'm not a pushover
I'm not a pushover
Verse I
I drop in with my face to the wind
Spin 180 for the win
But I cant find my feet its like I lost the beat
Mid air and theres no plan Bs
Hit the streets,
Look before I leap again,
Skeleton filled with Adrenalin
How can I know that I got what it takes?
When Ive come so far, through the rain
Bear the pain
Makes no difference now
Face myself or get taken out
One more time got to live this loud
Back to the wall no turning around)
CHORUS:
Its too late Its my fate
I cant turn around
Theres no fear, in the mirror
To hold me down
Im too far, from the start
Now Im in too deep
Ive got to stick to the plan
Cause theres no Plan B
No turning back (No plan B)
Theres no other path, (No plan B)
And I know that this road is my destiny
Ive got to stick to the plan
Cause theres no plan B
Verse II
Get a shot, for the top on my soap box
Pop a zit go sing let my tunes talk
Cool kid, and Im in the mood
Give me combo number 2
Whats up wich you?
Dude you look scared to me, better take a chair
Before you fail to see, A to Z like 3 times 3
Its the basics, homie embrace it
Come on!!
Take the shot dont waste the clock
March to the drum of the #1 spot
Born for this, victorious
Storms break off so glorious
Chorus Repeats
Bridge:
All I know is I cant turn back, all I know is I cant turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
All I know is I cant turn back, all I know is I cant turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
Cause this is the only road Ive ever known,
theres no way that I could start again, Again
Intro: sometimes even when you feel like giving up, you just got a live on
Verse I
It all started at the age of 18
Just a young kid out chasing a dream
Streets was the hang out, every day kicked out
Caught by security telling us to get out
New route to the mall or my mom’s house
Girls would call just to talk or to hang out
Good food, BBQ, playing halo 2
I’m living proof of a dream come true
I remember taking pics of the city life, seen a guy get his lights knocked out and out of sight, it all happened so fast we heard cops sound, this is a story of a kid from the down town.
I grew up on the north side east side,
No gang signs yo we only through high 5’s
Skateboarder faith in Jehovah
Stayed sober skate straight ye little soldier
The takeover GO trains to great culture
Range rovers ride down to California
I’m rolling with my God to a different lifestyle, chic, chic blow
Who would a thought I’d be down
Looking at my life now it’s all good understood
Where I’m going and Japan’s my new Hollywood
A new look in my eyes but not dollar signs
I thank God that he wiped away the hard times
Chorus:
Live on
I know I can move on
I got to dream it, live on!!
I know where I belong
Come on and sing it, live on!!
I know I can move on
I still believe it live on!!
I know I can be strong
Come on and sing it, live on!!!
Break Down
It’s been over like 10 years now since I started music and, I never would
Of thought I’d be travelling around the globe, seeing all these different cultures
and people, its crazy
Verse II
All I know is I’m a keep on rocking it
Walking with a head strong full of confidence
I used to sing in the bathroom only
Now I sing at the shows with my hommies
Get back, to back to back to basics
Where I laced it, its dedicated
To all the haters hit record you’ll want to tape this
Patience pays I stay on your station
Made in Eden cause seeing ain’t believing
Speaking into being higher levels of freedom
Can’t take the glory cause son it’s not my story
He told me to say it, I’m his hands do it for me
I’ve been alone, now I’m living on, living strong
Singing on, hey, hey let it come
I’ve been alone, now I’m living on, living strong
Singing on, hey, hey let it come
Chorus Repeats
OUTRO:
If you got a dream in your heart than say, HEYYYY eh Ohhh
If you got a vision in your mind than say, HEYYYY eh, Ohhh
If you wanna live on, than let me hear say HEYYYY eh Ohhhh
