JSON ( /ˈdʒeɪsən/), or JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight text-based open standard designed for human-readable data interchange. It is derived from the JavaScript scripting language for representing simple data structures and associative arrays, called objects. Despite its relationship to JavaScript, it is language-independent, with parsers available for many languages.
The JSON format was originally specified by Douglas Crockford, and is described in RFC 4627. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json
. The JSON filename extension is .json
.
The JSON format is often used for serializing and transmitting structured data over a network connection. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, serving as an alternative to XML.
Douglas Crockford was the first to specify and popularize the JSON format.
JSON was used at State Software, a company co-founded by Crockford, starting around 2001. The JSON.org website was launched in 2002. In December 2005, Yahoo! began offering some of its web services in JSON.Google started offering JSON feeds for its GData web protocol in December 2006.
Take a look at me . . .
Chorus
Take a look at me
and tell me what you see
I need somebody to love me for me
why don't you take a look at me
and tell me what you see
I need somebody to love me for me
Verse 1
Everytime I look around there's someone
to help me out or be in doubt
Your always there by my side
Never asking for to much
Your always willing to try so baby take a look
Any time I need someone to love me for me
Could you be the one to set my heart so free
Everytime I need you near (yeah)
to show that you care
I'm in need of love just take a look
Chorus
Bridge
Oh how I need someone to love me for me
could you be the one to set my heart free
How I need you near to show that you care
I'm in need of love, just take a look (Yeah)
VERSE 1:
They say in this world nothing lasts forever
But I don't believe that's true
Cause the way that I feel when we're together
I know thats the way, I'll always feel for you
CHORUS:
From now until forever
That's how long I'll be true
I'll make you this vow
and promise you now
until forever, i'll never stop loving you
VERSE 2:
There'll come a day when the world stops turning
and stars will fall from the sky
but this feeling will last
when the sun stops burning
all i wanna do is love you
til the end of time
REPEAT CHORUS
It's gonna take more than a lifetime
to give you all the love
all the love i feel for you tonight
REPEAT CHORUS
[Verse 1 – Titus]
Hey what it do, does the truth came down your avenue
Givin' you that 20/20 but no need for attributes
So see that Christ is king well what's inside your treasure chest
Don't know why God? We murderers we kill the flesh
We serve the best He crush the rest I thought I told you
Our King so great He makes Alexander look mediocre
Now hold up, no sir, boy you must be trippin'
The resurrection from Christ affliction has been redemption
If you say we rippin' but don't get it you should reverse it
Come back to the first look how 'cause Christ is the top of your purpose
So what you stoppin' for? Go give them what they askin' for
Christ loved us so much he died for sin, high metaphor
Look at the picture boy we in this grind we goin' true
Like Catholic sinners we bring our confessions right into the booth
100 fruits go blend it in, this here is absolute
Like Tropicana juice we bear the fruit, now tell me ...
[Hook – Json & Trip Lee]
Hey whatchu do?
Daily dyin', I ain't mine, I belong to him
Hey whatchu do?
Holy grind, all the time, on the grind for him
Hey whatchu do?
Renew my mind, all the time, when I'm in the streets
Hey what it do?
You might find me, and mine when you're on the streets
That's what it do
Already make it do what it do
That's what it do
Already make it do what it do
That's what it do
Already make it do what it do
That's what it do
Already make it do what it do
That's what it do
[Verse 2 – Trip Lee]
Hey you got questions for me like what I'm doin' on a daily basis?
I love the light and hate the dark, since I been saved I'm racist
I'm trying to rep the God who saved me, said he'd trade me places
And by his grace my ways was straightened like them legs with braces
I'm tryin' to grow up in the faith forget them baby skaters
That's why I'm training every day like I play for the Lakers
My crew reveal with Him man, we took his grace and drank it
Some call it drunk in the Spirit but you might say I'm wasted
And cats is burnin' to know
What's poppin' after the music stops and them curtains is closed
Yes sir we servin' and we worship Him, we certainly go
And hit the curb 'cause cats is hurtin' and this world doesn't know him
That's why we servin' in whole, we reimburse as we go
Gettin' to cats so they can know Him, they can learn and be grown
This life is harder when my back's on the wall
But remind myself that my own self is dead, casket and all
[Hook – Json & Trip Lee]
[Verse 3 – Json]
I rep Christ (rep Christ) 'cause I know for my sins he was martyred
I die with him so say hello to the dearly departed
Perhaps you might hear me rappin', I'm not nearly an artist
The fact is I happen to spit like I'm really retarded
Was weary-hearted when Christ came in and then did an audit
Saw that the law demanded that every man would live Godless
But then he switched my aim, gave me a new direction
I live to lift his name, hope you see a reflection
I resemble my daddy, not in physical either
I personally inherited his character feature (that's what it do)
So yeah my pants is baggy and still my fitted lean
But if my head cause me to sin then bring on the guillotine
See my actions have stopped since I'm attached to the Rock
Who died and popped out the grave like a Jack-in-the-Box
Who you know murdered death huh? Well then death couldn't murder
It's Christ the King we rep, with every breath we give Him worship
Jaylin man, dag man you 8 months dawg
I remember just thinking, what you was even gonna look like before you got here man
And I sat down to myself man, and I just began writing, the Lord put something on my spirit man,
It was just a way of me speaking to you things I wanted to relate to you man
This is my, letter to Jalen,
And I'm praying, when you get older you comprehend what I'm saying
Man I'm here for you, and I'm making it clear to you
That a Christ-like life is where I'll be steering you
And I know it's rough, and obstacles will come against you
But you ain't got to, go through what your daddy's been through
God has sent you, with the hand of His might
I demand you understand His whole plan for your life!
Please! Don't abandon the light
Cause it may be years before you veer back from the land of the night
Understand what is right and let no man lead you
Be a leader, no matter what they feed you
And I'ma teach you, that you must crawl for your walk
If you fall it's a start, proceed with all of your heart
It's all a part of growing up, learn from mistakes that you make
So when you face em again, you know what's up
And weigh out ya options, don't dive in to things head first
Manage your money, spend when you breaking a little break a little bread first
Keep you a plan, and only do what you can
When you accept responsibility, your truly a man
*phone rings*
Hey Dawan this is Jason
Hey Jason, where you at?
Oh I'm just at the studio, I was just giving you a call to let you know that I love you, you know I love you right?
Yeah, I love you too.
Okay, well I'll be home a little bit later. I'll see you when I get there
Jason, can we play the game when you get home?
Yeah that's cool, we could play the game when I get there, aight? I'll see you later.
Alright, bye.
DeJuan
DeJuan, your not my son biologically
You have a dad, but still you have a father in me
When we met, truly I was still lost in the streets
You were four years old, and stuttered as you were talking to me
I remember clearly, you hated smoking severely,
I did it around you anyway, claimed that I loved you dearly
It all was a lie, and my heart was desperately wicked
Expect that from man, when his focus ain't Christ centered
But, for your forgiveness is what I'm asking
I murdered the flesh, you see the old man lays in the casket
Life everlasting, I'm trying to tell you what real is
Hell is hot, it ain't something you wanna deal with
The world will paint this picture about, money and fashion
Can't take it with you, when your body returns to ashes
(What I'm trying to say), don't do what I did, but do what I do now
See Christ lives in me, I really do love you now
I thank the Lord for bringing our relationship closer
Secluding us from danger, keeping anger from boiling over
And as you grow, throughout your life situations
I'm here for you the same but know Christ is your foundation
I Jason (I Jason), take ye LaWanda (take ye LaWanda), my wedded wife (my wedded wife), to have and to hold (to have and to hold), for this day forward (for this day forward), for better or for worse (for better or for worse), for richer or for poorer (for richer or for poorer), in sickness (in sickness), and in health (and in health), and to love (and to love), and to cherish (and to cherish), till death do us part (till death do us part), according to God's holy ordinance (according to God's holy ordinance)...
I thank God for my wife, the love of my life, my heart and my soul
Woman of Christ, more valuable than the price of gold
I pray that it shows through affection my deepest emotions
Keeping me open, your love flows deep as an ocean
You're the shirt on my back, pants on my butt
You're the twinkle in my eye, crutches that are standing me up
My love, you're my wife, you're my friend, my light when its dim
My smiles or my grins, its like your everything (from within?)
I love you, and put no one but the Lord before you
I'll endure through the pain because I adore you
Virtuous woman, adorably stunning, your beautiful
You love me and you should know that the feeling is mutual
What more can I do for you, before I'm smothered in dirt?
Cause it's only right for me to love you, like Christ loves the Church
And He died for us, so know I'll do whatever it takes
Then He rose for us, so know through Him we never will break
Through heartaches, all the ups and downs, the smiles and frowns, whatever
Long as we stay focused on God we'll be the glory together
Holy, matrimony, such a wonderful thing
With my beautiful queen, as we both serve a glorious King
I thank God, for what He's done in my life
And I gotta give Him thanks for my son and my wife
My whole fam, I know it's a blessing to have
Nikki, Jaylin, Duwan, through the good and the bad (X2)
Yeah walked out of His home, different time zone
Lives in eternity, now He's living in time zones?
This is mind blowin, God of the universe
Knows every star in the sky to my human hurts
Made the trees, made the breeze
Made the seas, emcees like J and me
But let me tell you what amazes me
How He came as a man who was made to need
Hungered and thirsty, and the very same Earth that He cursed
He's now fully immersed in
Look at His work He's God to be exalted
But He came and lived with people falling and faulted
I hope you get it homes
Only a God who's perfect in love would ever leave His throne for some skin and bones
It's hard to live breathing to death
When the same God that made you is breathing your breath
Who is He?
God in the flesh who was tested
Who came manifested was killed, resurrected
Who are you?
Do you even know who you are?
Created to know the God who created the stars
Who is He?
He was, He is, He will be
Death couldn't hold Him and neither shall death seal me
Who are you?
You better of never existing if you don't trust the God of the scriptures
You listenin?
Can you imagine God in the flesh invisible seen as visible
infinite seeming finite spirit becoming physical
its odd man God man slept and obeyed
the earths confines to breathe the very breath that he made
he would sweat
he would weep
even eat
for his hunger
defeat death
within three
so we'd see
that He's stronger
could give us anything even offer us wealth
that wouldn't be love if he ain't offer himself
So He stepped down
From His throne and removed His crown
And touched ground
Even though He knew He would be bruised and bound
He is that was then next and later on
And still is what me and Crae can't convey in this song
Though, our minds can never reason His fame
The question is do you really see Him the same?
And if you see Him the same, as the living God and matchless Christ
How much do these tunes impact your life?
Who is He?
God in the flesh who was tested
Who came manifested was killed, resurrected
Who are you?
Do you even know who you are?
Created to know the God who created the stars
Who is He?
He was, He is, He will be
Death couldn't hold Him and neither shall death seal me
Who are you?
You better of never existing if you don't trust the God of the scriptures
[feat. J.R.]
Age 16, young and bad I ain't had no curfew
With dudes older than me couldn't see being in church dude
Instead, I'm in the street with a heart like night
Like maybe I'm like Jay-Z living the hard knock life
Eyes, scored by light - I'd rather chop and slang
Pop and hang, be schooled how to cock and aim
Looking back my eyes had to be blurry like glass tint
In the rush for my demise, thank God it's the past tense Lord!
I pray the youth would hear the truth in these words
Actually all is vanity outside of You that I serve
Yes! Even this music's a heavenly melody
From the Father telling me to quote to you what He said to me
IF, I wasn't embedded with the Spirit He fed to me
Life love and joy as I know it'd only be dead to me.
But I was resurrected with Christ, the kingdom's prepared for me
If you receive and believe it's a joy you can share with me
Come on!
Amazing Grace, I once was blind but now
Your grace has let me see
Thank God I've been redeemed
I once was lost but now
By your great grace I'm found
Praise God I've been redeemed
The Lord doesn't hurt your position, true repentance will get you out of that state
Escape the hand of His wrath, receive the plan of His grace
Listen, I know it seems like the world has a lot it can offer you
And because of it it's hard for you to hear that He's calling you
Let me talk to you about the void that you feel
You try to replace it with things but the joy isn't real
I had that, filled myself with the fame and the money
And all my quest was still stressed 'cause my flesh it remained hungry.
The pain was there, through all the herb I was cheefing
It was plain it would be the same until I fervently seeked Him then
Seeked Him then, saw the urgency of me and my sin
It's an emergency we believe upon Him
Look, dawg I'm knowing that the streets is real
And them dudes carry heat for real
Listen to me for real, God He is realer than that
Receive Him before He really comes back
'Cause that's what real c'mon!
Lord, my earnest prayer is for my family tree
'Cause it would be (timber!), without You standing with me
I pray, somehow that they would get the good to repenting
Consistent conviction were never were mentioned in Scripture
Hell is hot, I can't give a drop on the tongue
And in the streets, believe you can leave at the cock of a gun my hommies
This world ain't it, please put your eyes to the light
'Cause who's my mother who's my brother if their lives ain't in Christ?
I guess, Matthew 10 and 34 is the key
What He came to be, 'cause there's this war between you and me
Fam, I love you but you on that side of the fence
I just wish He'd quicken your heart, cause I can't try to convince
I've cried and then ceased, but without the tears on my cheeks
For years I would weep, praying you would hear when He speaks
Sincere with my speech, if you opened your ears I could reach
I'm praying for his soul Lord (prayin)
You was my road dog, and truly one of the reasons that it was so hard (it's a strain on me)
You held me down when I had nothing but dust
To see you stuck in the same things is leaving me crushed
In my mind, throughout time, I drew a line wit you
‘cause our hearts have grown apart but please let me surmise wit ya (please!)
I pray these rhymes hit ya, cause we did everything from suffer to grind
I remembered flipping through my mind's pictures (remember?)
But now its different, I can't hurt but be fake
I see you and see through to hurt on your face (spit clear)
I wake - I been in that place where you feeling your heart's a void
You look at your life and your feeling more dark than joy
But you won't see it till you see that your ya' own threat
You play the cards your dealt but dealing from the wrong deck
So I wrote this to say I love you and all
But my deepest desire is to see you come to the Lord
I love you I do! Love you enough to tell you the truth
Couldn't, say it in person, hope its felt from the booth
With every heartbeat your still a part of me
I pray that you turn today with (incomprehensible) the Lord and me
I know it's hard to see, but God He wants to heal you life
Right now you only breath, God He wants to heal you life
But you won't find it if you trustin' in things,
Trust me, you'll only find it if you trust in the King
Mama, besides my wife you're the closest person to me, though I lack to express this
Yes I regret it, cause you should know your highly respected
I love you deeply, and if I had to give you a life description
You're a realist, and a strong woman despite your addiction
I see my need for your forgiveness the more I embrace the Book
Cause I didn't paint the whole picture in this song come take a look (I'm sorry)
In fact it was my selfishness and desire for things
That made me resent you and not truly see you as a queen (you are)
And I apologize with feelings too sincere to describe
I pray you're hearing my cries, I write with tears in my eyes
For the past years I've cried, the hardest thing in my life
Is to give the Gospel to my mother, see you surrender to Christ
Throughout your life you been through a lot that were heartache and pain
You lost a daughter in the game ma, its time for a change
It's plan I wrote this to say I love you and all
but my deepest desire is to see you come to the Lord
I love you I do! Love you enough to tell you the truth
Couldn't, say it in person, hope its felt from the booth
With every heartbeat your still a part of me
I pray that you turn today with (incomprehensible) the Lord and me
I write to you both, because I know we rarely had a time to talk
And when we do its hard to say to you what's truly on my heart
I felt pressed by the Lord with a need to address it
Plus if I love you how can I not share with you the Gospel message?
It's deeper than you being my mother, bigger than you being my fam
We're talking God, Creator of the seas and the land
Man has a problem with Him ‘cause of our sin
We can't change on our own ‘cause we're in love with our sin
But, God sent His Son to live the perfect life we couldn't live
Jesus Christ gave the sacrifice we couldn't give
His arms are open to show you what life's meaning is
There's none righteous, that's why we in need of His
What's grieving is you don't truly see that He's the treasure
You put your hope in things, they won't bring eternal pleasure (Why?)
God loves you I hope you hearing the call
Cause my deepest desire is to see you come to the Lord
I love you I do! Love you enough to tell you the truth
Couldn't, say it in person, hope its felt from the booth
With every heartbeat your still a part of me
I pray that you turn today with (incomprehensible) the Lord and me
Man...

Look man before you get in the studio and start doing songs together like
Ets just build taje the tie to know one another hang out
Verse 1:
Let me show you they can't disguise or deceive
Even agnostics on scribes show their unconscious belief
Napoleons known to be a genius, this is his own thesis
He wrote there's got to be more to this man Jesus
Josephus said that He was alive
And Thallus talked about darkness covered the skies the moment Jesus was crucified
So how can skeptics say that He never lived
when unbelievers from the first century said that He did?
Well none of these dudes are biblical texts
They are historians that wrote about the physical facts
So unbelievers, I'm going keep it, outside of biblical text
To prove that Christ lived, died and had to have resurrected
Chorus:
‘Cause we got to give you people the truth,
Even if it means that we gotta dig deeper for the truth, He'll see us through
And we can't just sit at home inside of our prayer closets
Hit the bricks man up! It's time to go spread the Gospel. (X2)
Verse 2:
Now they say on the cross that He never died,
And He faked his death but his strength was miraculously revived (uhh...)
Well there is no way that can be
When your crucified your arms stretch, your lungs drop, and there's no way you can breath
Don't take it from me, ‘cause the proofs scientific
From the same dudes you use for your evolutional witness
The truth is depicted. Their saying that the Bible has lies
they used ropes, and people's hands and feet were actually tied
Well let's separate the fake from the real
For a century man was found with a stake stuck in his heel
So that proves that this procedure was actually used
And if skeptics are the ones lying why are the Christians accused?
Chorus
Verse 3:
Now they say that he never rose from the earth
Well if you question the resurrection explain to me that wrote to the church
See if Peter had denied to His face, then He had to have seen Him after the rise
Then tell me why else would Peter die for the faith?
I urge you to not be deceived
Because they have no proof to refute the truth in which we believe
Luke was indeed, a historian that was great
Wouldn't make an ounce of sense to write in a incalculable faith
I'm just trying to back the facts of this
You can't deny conclusive truth just because it is miraculous.
If you wonder after the curtain was cracked
If He rised to the right hand of the Father
Yeah, it's certain of that
[Verse 1 – Json]
Told myself most of my life get pleasure in all I could find
Results shouldn't be odd, they pale when compared to my God
May not believe it, you have to see it experienced
A love so serious, nothing like this period
He is the end period, thought I would let you know
Men's sin couldn't bury it, why would I let it go?
So so it shouldn't be to much if I
Sing about this love I got, he saved me from that gutter life
He saved my life, hey ya boy just ain't the same though
Picture with the frame broke, don't ask me what the ‘caine fo'
Yea it's him I'm leaning on
You should know whose team I'm on
Use to fiend for green weed cheese now it's the king alone
Long as I'm blown away by what grace cost
Made to be Nick Cage cause everyday is a face off
Trying to get my face off and in him I'm losing it
Even would turn if she knew what love had to do with it
Let's go
[Chorus – Thi'sl & Jai]
(Thi'sl) I done traveled the world
Tried money and girls
Cars diamonds and pearls
(Jai) I ain't never seen a love like this
(Thi'sl) Tried the hustle and fame
Even hustled the ‘caine
The results are the same
(Jai) I ain't never seen a love like this
(Thi'sl) You won't believe it yo
But best believe it yo
When you see it though
(Jai) I ain't never seen a love like this
(Thi'sl) Know the love of the streets
Still got love for my peeps
But believe and you'll see
(Jai) I ain't never seem a love like this
[Verse 2 – Json]
I use to smoke bags of purp, sold more than hats of work
Traveled through half the earth and none will outlast his worth
Could sell a million too, have people feel my music
But apart from him all of it would be minuscule true
I'm just telling you that he's beautiful
See singin' ain't my usual but this is what he'll do to you too
‘Cause there is nothing this great
You sleepin' if you don't peep it I'm praying you come awake wait
See his love and his grace that is on display in a true way
1080p playing a Blu-Ray
Forget what you say, sit in a pew with a screwed face
I'm like cool hey, wait till you get you a true taste
‘Cause it's love that comes from the Savior, no there's none that is greater
Need him now and not later, yes I'm in love with the flavor
Yeah, and know the Lord's my portion
You'll read about John and see he's truly drop-dead gorgeous
Fo'sho
[Chorus – Thi'sl & Jai]
[Verse 3 – Json]
What you know about death? This is the way love was expressed
The grave exploded couldn't hold him no love won't be suppressed
Yes, so there's no way that we're holdin' it in
Till they globally notice the glory he's showin' through men
Until then we will go from the ‘burbs to the blocks
Fiends to those serving the rocks and show they've been purchased a spot
I'm just speaking of love biblically
Christ is the definition, he's literally love physically
Mentally some missin' me cause they don't understand it
How the son could be crushed and the father he could demand it
Until they see that he planned it all so he can reveal
How serious is his standard, Man deserves to be killed
Man deserves to be thrashed, we're in deserving of wrath
But Christ he has took it for us, no love can compare to that
So keep your cheddar and cash, no one is a better dad
Minus the heartbreak he's the best that I ever had
You know
Christ he backslapped sin and choke slammed death
The real Rock, then he put the grave in a headlock
And they all had to tap out ‘cause it's all been mapped out
The words like Pro Tools, you'll see the whole thing tracked out
But when I say I get it from him, y'all don't hear me though
But trust that's why I wrestle my sin like Rey Mysterio
See Christians should be showing the word closed caption
Why you like a romance comedy, no action
Real Christians please stand up, go'n ‘head and man up
Even if they blam blam us let's stand there like "and what?"
We on lockdown homie, you see them handcuffs?
We run the race with full horsepower, call us a Ram truck
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
I found out I couldn't save myself all I had was dead words
I died to follow Christ and jumped in the grave head first
See he bled worst, the Rock is divine
Made me a transformer, Optimus Prime
Changed my whole frame up, slayed the grave
And made your boy get low like a razor fade
All that to say he humbled me and daily he will crumble me
Till the day he comes for me making me what he wants to see
I know what want from me, relax yourself
Now add it up, now what you get when you subtract yourself?
I couldn't handle the grave, his wrath was to much trouble
Christ the sacrifice stood in CUT Stunt Double
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
That's why I spit bars of life, you can get life in these bars
Right now, like you doin' a bid in Riker Island
Got punchlines of truth, ad-libs of his glory
Overdubs of love we spit to give him glory
Look, me ain't my focus my boasting's dead
But I know I'm easy to crush like a loaf of bread
So I rhyme about the blood covered over my head
Took the cross off my neck, it's on my shoulder instead
Your boy dead and I only wanna model Him
All I do is retweet every since I have followed Him
My life homie that's been purchased
Find out that ya boy bleed Christ if you just scratch the surface
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
If you riding through the streets
If you nodding to this beat
I hope you see that I'm alive because he died to set me free
It's the Christ
Who then saved who then raised who then made me
It's the Christ
I'm just what you made God
Not many I trust
I'mma go my own way, God
Take my faith to wherever you want
I'm out here, on my son
Won't stop 'til I get me some
Club-hoppin', tryin' to get me some
Bad bitches wanna get me sprung
Early in the morning, I'm wakin' bakin'
Drinkin', contemplatin', ain't no such thing as Satan
Evil is what you make it
Thank the Lord for that burning bush
That big body benz I was born to push
On my way I'm burning kush
Now you don't be worryin' 'bout us
Neighbors knockin' on the door, asking can we turn it down
I say, "Ain't no music on" she said, "Naw, that weed is loud"
Nigga, we ballin', straight swaggin'
Lost heart, but I'm maintainin'
I've been told that I'm amazing
Make sure keep that fire blazin', weed livin'
I need smoke
I need to smoke
Who gon' hold me down now
I want to get high y'all
I want to get high y'all
Need it to get by, y'all
Can you get me high y'all
I want to get high y'all
I want to get high y'all
Need it to get by, y'all
Can you get me high y'all
I'm just what you made God, I'm just what you made God
I'm just what you made God (Nee-need it)
I'm just what you made God, what you made God
I'm just what you made God
Let me tell you 'bout my month y'all
Endless shopping, I had a ball
I had to ball for therapy
My shrink don't think that helps at all
Whatever, that man ain't wearing these leather pants
I diagnose my damn self
These damn pills ain't working fam
In my spare time
Punching walls, fucking up my hand
I know that shit sound super cray
But if you had my life you'd understand
But, I can't fold, some poor soul got it way worse
We're all troubled, in a world of trouble
It's scary to have a kid walk this Earth
I'm what you made God
Fuck yes I'm so odd
Thinking 'bout all my old friends
Who weren't my friends all along
Hm, when it rains it pours
Whiksey bottles of the six and fours
Everyday the first things a chore
Amidst a dream with no exit doors
I need smoke
I need to smoke
Who gon' hold me down now
I want to get high y'all
I want to get high y'all
Need it to get by, y'all
Can you get me high y'all
I want to get high y'all
I want to get high y'all
Need it to get by, y'all
Can you get me high y'all
I'm just what you made God, I'm just what you made God
I'm just what you made God (Nee-need it)
I'm just what you made God, what you made God
I'm just what you made God
Need it to get by, ya
It's been 4 years of marriage - I can't wait for five
I can't lie - this has been the hardest thing in our lives
(Yeah, One) After the honeymoon reality hit
this is the person I spent the rest of - my life with
The truth is we failed to really understand each others needs
This'll bring us to fuss over the simplest of things
Yeah we were Christians but we were still both immature
Now we would learn - what it really means "to endure" (Yeah, Two)
the Lord was growing us despite our frustrations
Working in His longsuffering, love, patience
The more we would submit the more it became different
Now Agape love is not a feelin' now it's a commitment, (Yeah, Three)
It's been beautiful seeing the Lord conforming me
Our lives two different voices now we're singing in harmony
And yeah, boy, yeah we struggle with things
But through it I'll say that marriage is a wonderful thing!
LADIES, be the wives you were created to be: in submission, a helpmeet that makes him complete.
FELLAS, lead and guide with love your wives and in the same way Christ shows he loves His Bride
LADIES: don't see this as a form of weakness but strength and find joy that is pleasing to him
FELLAS, you're equal. it don't mean that you rude, its just more responsibility is given to you
I want to encourage those believers who've been having a lot
of problems and now you feel your marriage on the rocks
Don't give up ...even though it's crushing for you
Know that love is not a feeling, man, it's something you do
Remember ... Christ loved us so He came and died
And death'll be the key for marriage stayin' alive
Listen, I pray that you guys 'll grow through the hurt
Continut t fight cua I truly know that it's worth
Seek the Lord: this aint something tha you can manage yourself
Don't point the finger at your spouse: first examine yourself
Make sure you're communicate: and give some quality time.
Trust me; love can be seen, man, love isn't blind
Often when we're married we don't share how we feel inside
and it's time to come past we don't feel the vibe
But it's there; it just needs to be shown and seen
So stand strong as you both seek the Throne of the King
***STANZA***
Now if you ...are desiring a husband or wife
That's nice - but make sure that you're viewing this right
See ... I don't want you to get cap-tured in the fact of
it's housewife, prince and happily ever after
That's true but not the full purpose at all
It's a covenant before God: a ministry call
What marriage does ...is paint a pic-ture on earth
of ...Christ the King and His Bride the Church
We're priviledged to be the artists with the brush in hand
Daily displaying His paint and through all in the land
The man has the chance of showing how Christ
loves the Church through the ways lovin' his wife
that ain't easy ... when you look and see that He died
Conflict sympathize also leads and guides
The wife shows - how the Church is under submission
[Hook - Pastor AD3]
You are not a goon
That's not why he created you
He made you for his glory
In his image and his likeness
[Verse 1 - Json]
Streets they shake me raise me made me all about the fetti dough
Feds I go the cosh and never know when I'ma let it go
Me and my eyes got the kush to the fire
Fractured on my side down to push, I'm a rider
This is all I know, do whatever for the cake
Keep the fitty pulled low, you tell a felon by his face
My dream was movin' weight, thinkin' money over anything
Finna sell some dope man before we rock them skinny jeans
See me and my cup, thinkin' what, livin' life it's fast as a race
At 16 my homie Galen lost half of his face
Had your boy in gold, he over rippin' big
Had to support the habit, now I'ma stick again
Wasn't young and unashamed, I'd rather die in the game
The streets remember my name, with little fortune and fame
All that I'm sayin' I done been in ya shoes
And in ya tombs now I'm yellin' to dudes ...
[Hook - Pastor AD3]
You are not a goon
That's not why he created you
He made you for his glory
In his image and his likeness
Lil homie I was you
Grindin' for that chain that fame that payback
Lost it with that vain that pain to save me
Till Christ came and made and changed me
No homie you are not a goon
[Verse 2 - Thi'sl]
I hit the block at 16, in the gut supreme
My only dream, to put a brick up on the triple beam
So I hit the hood hard, tryna make the cream
My mindset, to get more paper than I'd ever seen
I told the homie fast, we bout to make it move
The hood made me crazy, full-blooded goon
My back against the wall, I didn't know what to do
Thought I was really winnin', but I was bout to lose
(Fast forward) Learned I was made for worship, that I was made with purpose
Thought I was livin' but I hadn't even scratched the surface
Learned I was made in his image, that's what it do
That's why I'm here talkin' to you, no homie you are not a goon
[Hook - Pastor AD3]
You are not a goon
That's not why he created you
He made you for his glory
In his image and his likeness
Lil homie I was you
Grindin' for that chain that fame that payback
Lost it with that vain that pain to save me
Till Christ came and made and changed me
No homie you are not a goon
[Verse 3 - Json]
God made you in his image, not here to model men
OGs they may have raised you, but he made you to model him
Your heart beats for the streets, homie I feel your grind
Heartbeats for the streets, the Son lived and died
Rides to get you peace, so why ride with the streets?
Life your life as a goon, die and face God who's a beast
We rep God over beats, hope the hood get it soon
He knew you from the womb to the tomb
You wouldn't need to be a goon
[Hook - Pastor AD3]
You are not a goon
That's not why he created you
He made you for his glory
In his image and his likeness
Lil homie I was you
Grindin' for that chain that fame that payback
Lost it with that vain that pain to save me
Till Christ came and made and changed me
No homie you are not a goon
No homie you are not a goon ...
No homie you are not a goon ...
No homie you are not a goon ...

[Verse 1]
I'm passing through, homie I'm bout to go
Christ got the keys to death's grave and I'm out the door
And this is it, here to please the one that I'm enlisted with
I pitched my tent but this ain't it, maranatha Jesus get me quick
Get me quick, come get me quick, see ever since the Master came
Earth is just a passing lane and death well that's the baggage claim
So I'm out to make him known ‘cause he paid the cost for me
This earth it ain't my home, can't get attached to what it offers me
Where my believers with me, and though we'll be afflicted
Know they'll be leaving with me, and we will be the city
Just call us new Jerus, And we'll savior our Savior
A King who truly rules, city lit like it's Vegas
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
You ain't know it, look we gon' be going
Please know it won't be D-Flow when you hear them trumpets blowin'
Think we lost our mind, they say the Christians crazy
We won't invest our time in what's rusting and fading
He was crushed for the payment for my lusting and craving
For what just would enslave me, now know I'm trusting Hhim baby
In the world but not of it, no not of it just in
Oil and water won't mix, no us and the world it won't blend
You know that you finna go, you know who you livin' for
Hold all you got loosely ‘cause it won't go with you when you go
Homie you should really know exactly how the truth taste
Look at the big picture, keep living outta your suitcase
[Hook]
We bout to go (we bout to go)
We passin' through (we passin' through)

[Verse 3]
Keep living your life in light of the next one
The light is perfection, we fight to reflect him out
The weight of the world's wearing on me
Trout keep swimming against the current, homie
Yessirrrr keep holding on homie, clutch tight
There's pressure, you're sealed so that it won't bust pipes
Your sites fixed on the one who is your only hope
Soon he will be coming, so then we know we know we bout to go
[Hook]
We bout to go (we bout to go)

Look at my life
Look at my pain
Look at my tears
These tears I shed
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to
Cuz of the days that I spend without you
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away
I know you're working, I appreciate your grind
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time)
I must confess, it's hard to express how I'm feeling
But I'm growing blocks of bitterness, quickly becoming buildings
Listen, you're never home
To the point to that I don't notice when you're gone
I'm getting older, but I'm growing all alone (I'm all alone)
How can you raise me, without even knowing me?
Everything I do, is just to get you to notice me (I miss you)
Realize, you're the great influence in my life
And you're absence just might be what's ruining my life (you're ruing my life)
I got questions, but we don't talk on the usual
My friends are having sex, and I'm wondering, should I do it too? (What should I do?)
Who should I go to, if you are never there? (Where?)
And if you never ask, will you ever be aware? (Be aware)
You say you care for me, you don't get it apparently!
I'm young and just a child, I need my parent to parent me!
Look at my life
Look at my pain
Look at my tears
These tears I shed
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to
Cuz of the days that I spend without you
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away
I know you're hustling (I know), I see you on your grind
You give me everything I need, but I really want your time (I want your time)
I stay in fresh J's, laced in new gear
But I would trade it all, if I'd only have you here
I smell the dough that you blowing, cuz it be so potent
Oh yeah, I notice, but you don't think I'ma wanna smoke it? (I wanna blow)
I see your love for the streets, and I want that love too
You taught me to be hard, but you rarely tell me, "I love you" (I love you)(Please love me)
Moms be mad, she always be talking bad about you
But honestly, Dad, I don't think I'll become a man without you
And she be gone, matter of fact she never home
She come into work, and I'm living like I'm already grown
I gotta place to stay, then get ta shop at the mall
But I'll honestly say, I don't have no guidance at all
You say you care for me, but don't know I can barely read
I'm young and just a child, I need my parents to parent me!
Look at my life
Look at my pain
Look at my tears
These tears I shed
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to
Cuz of the days that I spend without you
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away
I know you're in Church, I see your love for God (I do)
You give me everything I need, but I really need your time (I need your time)
Your godly life and love for people amazes me
But tell me should the Church take my mom and my dad away from me?
I say this simply, you know a lot spiritually
Involved in ministry, but often, you don't remember me (Remember me?)
You teach the Youth and show them how to model and live (Yep)
But at home you've never shown me what the Gospel is (Father I need you)
How can you share with those seem direly hopeless?
Inside I cry, cuz we've never cracked the Bible open
And I'm dealing with pressure, and don't know what to do
Know what it's like to be the only Christian in your school?
I bump that 1-1-6, they tell me to live unashamed (I'm ashamed)
But that's hard when those around you are on another thing
You study thoroughly, but don't get it apparently!
I'm a babe in the faith, I need my parents to parent me!
Look at my life
Look at my pain
Look at my tears
These tears I shed
I feel so alone, with nobody to talk to
Cuz of the days that I spend without you
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
You're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
It's like you're here, but you're gone (but you're gone)
And you're gone, gone, gone, gone away
