Your gonna make it
Yes your gonna make it
Don't you worry about a thing that's happened in your life
Your gonna make it
Yes your gonna make it
Don't you worry about a thing it's gonna be alright
You may feel like your just starting over
Mistakes from your past that just want to hold ya
Down to the ground its all on your shoulder
You'll never make it now that's what they told ya
You start to figure out who really cares for ya
When no ones around no one is there for ya
When I was down and out and life was getting colder
Wee I found that's when God showed up
Your trying to make it right they make it hard for ya
But God will take a life even if it's broke up
Give you strength to fight whatever's coming toward ya
And don't forget that I'm always praying for ya
It's not fair all the things that just had to happen
Some days you wake up and feel like you've been abandoned
Life didn't shape up in the way that you planned it
The life you live is not the one that you imagined
I know they laugh and pick on you
I know you've had a lot of junk that you gone through
But I know who would never ever wrong you
Never quit on you and help you get on thru
When you fell he was the one who caught you
With every single tear man see he saw you
He was right there every time he called you
And I'll be praying for you gonna get on through
You try to pray but feel too ashamed too
Cuz those around you they just wanna blame you
But don't listen now just to what they say dude
God loves you he never hates you
You can count on the fact that hes faithful
Always exactly on time always came thru
When your blind you feel you lost your way too
He'll guide you and help you to find your way through
He knows you he's the one that made you
In anything you go thru now he can save you
And help you and plus give you strength too
You aint never gonna take me down
(so you see I ain't gonna break)
Your never gonna take me down
(you can't stop what you can't stop)
They wanna see me gone they wanna see me crawl
They wanna shut me up untill I cant speak at all
They wont let me up they wanna see me fall
But it aint nothing cuz I done seen it all
Sometimes I feel like I cant breathe at all
I lie awake at night I cant sleep at all
I got no strength to fight I cant shake it off
But that's the time in my life when I hear you call
You say hold tight you say hold on
You say it's alright you say stand strong
Cuz my whole life I got a plan and all
So I don't worry about a single thing that happens y'all
Say what you want you can talk on
I'm a get on up and I'm a walk on
Now I ain't giving up until I'm long gone
So why don't you step it up bring it on y'all
You aint never gonna take me down
(so you see I ain't gonna break)
Your never gonna take me down
(you can't stop what you can't stop)
MTV said I was just a hater
Magazines said I was an imitator
The industry said nobody's gonna take ya
Record labels was like peace out see you later
I didn't need them man I just got
Someone to depend on when it gets hot
So VH1 you can talk all you wanna talk
Keep ya hip-hop and keep ya lip locked
I aint gonna listen now to them talk
I aint switching up and I aint gonna stop
I aint giving up and I aint gonna drop
Even when I just get stuck up in ruff spot
I aint got much but what I just got
You see it's more than I need when I just drop
To my knees and I can see that he shows up
You cant break me down that's some real talk
You aint never gonna take me down
(so you see I ain't gonna break)
Your never gonna take me down
(you can't stop what you can't stop)
So what you gonna do when it falls apart
Who is the one man that you call upon
When everything that you know keeps going wrong
Plus you feel like you can't keep going on
See I know dukes your barely holding on
They wanna break you down but keep rolling on
They wanna take you down but don't let em y'all
They can't hold you now God's in control
Don't slow it down just walk it off
It aint easy I know sometimes its really hard
Please believe me I know you see I'm battle scarred
With my knees to the floor that how I battle on
Say what you want you can babble on
This I know what I got so I travel on
Don't ever stop that's why I wrote the song
So ready or not now bring the chorus on
You aint never gonna take me down
(so you see I ain't gonna break)
Your never gonna take me down
She wanna go to the club have fun in the club
Find love in the club
And so she up in the club with thugs in the club
That roll in the club
And so she stroll in the club drinking it up
To the point where she buzzed
Now she been on the run forgotten the son
Plus all of his love
So she far and away she's fallen away
But he's calling today
He keeps calling her name she's crawling away
Now from all of his grace
Plus it's all been the same she's fallen ashamed
From going her ways
So she goes and she prays she hopes she can change
She's hearing him say
Anyplace that you are you can still come back
You aint never too far you can still come back
All you gotta do is call you can still come back
Even if it seems hard you can still come back
He wanna run with the crowd he runs with em now
While they running about
They having fun and they bounce they go up in the house
Get drunk and they loud
Now they pouring it out they pour in there mouth they
Pouring it down
He's joining them now he's enjoying it now
Cuz he's boys with them now
See he knows what is right he was rolling with Christ
But they rolled in his life
Now he goes every night he goes and he fights
He's rolling the dice
You see he's chosen the life but deep in his mind
Man his soul isn't right
He's keep closing his eyes going so blind
Trying to run from the light but..
So you thinking you far you thinking it's hard
You thinking your scarred
Now you thinking you'd call but thinking that God
He would put up a wall
Don't think that all cause the big and the small
He's there for us y'all
Right there if you fall he's there with his arms
What if what if what if what if what if what if you was transported in time
To the place and the spot where Christ had to die
What if you beheld with your own two eyes
Where his blood was spilled where he gave his life
When he came up the hill and he was barely alive
Could you tell who he was if he walked on by
Could you see what they had done to his back and his sides
Would you see all his love would you recognize
When they pierced his skull with the thorns and they tried to
Pull out his hair out his beard and then decide to
Pierce his bareback 39 times you
Get the real facts they're there besides you
What if you saw him die and got a real view
Would you keep living the life the way that you do
Or would you run and hide and just continue to
Live your life blind its up to you dude
Will you ever know will you ever see
What's he's done for you what he's done for me
Can you ever know can you ever see
What will it take for you to believe
What if today was the very day he died
What if you was standing right there by his side
As the people cheered and they screamed and they cried
But this time around see he wasn't crucified
What if he was lead from a jail cell this time
To be executed in the middle of the night
But you could view it and tune it in worldwide
On the internet and on the TV it was televised
What if you was standing right there
And you brought him down to the electric chair
You had to flip the switch now would you be aware
Would you understand his death would you even care
Would you change how you live would you shed a tear
Would you see what he did would you be prepared
To give your life to him right now and right there
Can u see what he did its quite clear
What if you held the very nails used to
Hold him on the cross then what would you do
You saw him beat up beat down then abused
Would you see how much it cost him now for you but
What would it take for him to prove
That he took the blame for everything that we do
It's still just the same man there aint nothing new
They still hate to change and come down to you but
What if you could gaze and just see
The last 5 minutes before he would leave
This earth and worse what if you saw him breathe
His last breath when death took his life you see
His head hang down he starts to heave
Cuz his death came slow its plain to see
That it's more painful then we could imagine it to be
Oh no he's back again
What ya know here I go and I'm rapping and
In the studio in the lab again
One mic, one flow, one pad and pen
For one mo' just stack em in
One show let's roll lets pack em in
Ya'll know when we coming in
We blow every mind when we telling them
And chose every rhyme that we sending them
So folks recognize to be born again and
Realize he died so you can live again
And he'll crack the sky and he'll come again
All right let's ride start bouncing then
We can go all night it don't have to end
Hey Todd we started man
So get em high holla back if ya hear me then
Here we go like whoop whoop...

And ya feel it bump and ya loving that
Then get em up turn it up and just bump the track

All day every day we gotta come with that
All truth no lies just none of that
Just for you every time just a ton of that
All truth no lies just none of that
Just for you every time just a ton of that
Understand that's why when we bust a track
Every time any line any kind of rap
I'm a kind of guy just the type of cat
Ya gonna find every rhyme one kind of fact

And just every time i'll be running that
And so that's why i'm always bumping that
So getta fist real high and start pumping that

that I came on home I’m his

trying to get through without truth and life

cuz your blind confused and I’m
so sure that your cruising by
don’t occur that you’s gone die
so you’s gone find
the hard way out in due time
you may say now its all fine
but were filthy and still deny
that we’re guilty of this crime
and that we killed the one who died
yet we still wanna run and hide
Chorus
Turn it up pump it up
Get em up here we go yall
Turn it up pump it up
Get em up let’s roll yall
Oh snap I’m right on track, some said that I might not last
Some said what I write was wack, all right well guess who’s back
Bounce rock I move the spot, we gone see if you can move or not
I know what your thinkin pops, KJ-52 doing rock?
Man he just needs to stop, you know that junk gone flop
What’s he think he gone drop, don’t he know that ain’t hip hop
First yall call me Slim Shady, now yall just think I’m crazy
But as long as these stations play me
What yall say it don’t faze me
Chorus
See to me what this is, it’s like Run DMC in ‘86
Saw em on TV w/ Aerosmith, and I flipped my wig, I was just a kid
I was like now dang that junk is hot
Combining hip hop with a chunk of rock
I watched how it it just bumped the spot
And kids just flipped when that junk was dropped
But some peeps think the worst
And tear me down when they speak they words
I can’t pretend like the junk don’t hurt
But I’m a still bless even if ya curse
Now I ain’t trying to be Fred Durst
But the one thing now it’s best ya learns
Cause for me it’s the first thing that’s first
It’s just Jesus in every verse
Chorus
Alright I’m a say it here’s the fact
Most of these rocker dudes they can’t rap
But then again most rappers can’t rock
But I can’t be confined to hip hop
Now from P.O.D. to Thousand Foot Krutch
Earthsuit and Pillar yo they get mad love
If ya seem me rocking no need to bug
Just say what up give a pound and a hug
You know what’s kind of strange to me
Some rappers treat me like I’m a disease
But these rock dudes they always cool to me
And seem more real and just come true to me
But rap stars that wanna act hard
I already done straight pulled ya card
Wether or not the tracks got guitars
It’s Jesus every time I spit bars now
I flip rhymes like acro (batic)
so pump it up till they hear it in the back row
stuff em in till it’s packed tho
and let em all know till it all goes to the back do’
let the facts show you can see this
he’s just my thesis and on that note
till its caught like a lasso
its gonna stay on my thought like the spot where the hat go
(trevor mcnevan:)
Don’t let it get in your way,
It’s up to you what you create,
Now let’s all stand up and sing,
With everything you can bring/
Let’s go, let’s roll,
Everybody off the wall,
Let’s go(let’s go), let’s roll

Let’s go(let’s go), let’s roll
Let’s go, let’s roll,
Everybody off the wall,
Let’s go(let’s go), let’s roll
Let’s go, let’s roll,
If ya feeling it then get on the floor,
Let’s go(let’s go), let’s roll(let’s roll)
you rocking w/ a nat-rull who got a knack fo’
making it more hot than Tabasco
I got mad folk white and black folk
who understand that it aint about the cash flow
we all up in the same boat
with a plan just to stand back to back w/ my famo
still standing in my camo
and the mic be the handle the word be the ammo
Don’t let it get in your way,
It’s up to you what you create,
Now let’s all stand up and sing,
With everything you can bring
I want to know
if you want to fly
then come on lets roll
I want to know
if you want to fly
we are we are broken people (we are some broken people)
just trying to make it on our own (yet we try to make it)
we are we are broken people (we are some broken people)
and yet we are not alone (only cause of you we’re not alone)
now this aint how it’s supposed to be
cause mom and dad really wasn’t supposed to leave
but now divorce what they chose to seek
and now they see the kids every other week
and this aint how it supposed to end
cause when they started out they was best friends
but how it begins aint how it ends
sometimes that’s how the story spins
what do you do now what do you say
when people drift apart and they walk away
starting over make us all afraid
dealing w/ remorse plus a ton of shame
but there’s a cure for ya ton of pain
there’s hope and healing now in his grace
and there’s a place where you see his face
where he makes beauty out our mistakes
this aint the way the way she went and planned it
but little by little she they took it all for granted
just another story on our little planet
a little compromise break a few commandments
so the baby’s coming she starts to panic
contemplates all her choices and then examines
all the voices trying to tell her just to take advantage
of the fact she could abort it like it never mattered
but she struggles just to understand it
feeling lost confused and a little damaged
she knew his life was the thing that matters
so he grows kind of like a seed that’s planted
it was hard but she always managed
even when the problems never seem to vanish
she looks at his fingers and the little hand prints
she might be broken but shes gonna manage
we are broken cause we are sinful
we are a messed up type of people
just living in a world that’s quite deceitful
but there’s a way out if you let Him lead you
you see he promises to never leave you
everything you’re facing he would be through
its blatant that we really need you
Dear dad, I wanna take time to write to you
'cause lately we haven't talked like we used to
See I was thinkin' 'bout all the things we been through
I wanna say right now; I really miss you
You used to tell me when I was a little dude
That there's nothin' that, we couldn't get through
So as I'm old I wanna take time to thank you
And let you know that every day I try to pray for you
See I appreciate everything that you did
You were there for me, ever since a little kid
Taught me to be a man and just how yo live
And when I needed it, you always had love to give
Tears are runnin' down my face as I'm writin' this
'cause you not bein' here is what I really miss
But the one that I just really wish
Is that you know that I love you so I tell you this
Daddy
Thank you for being my daddy
(I just wanna thank you)
Daddy
Thank you for being my daddy
(I just wanna thank you...)
You might blame yourself for you and mom splitin' up
But I wanna tell you; don't beat yourself up
That's in the past now, what's done is done
You'l always be my dad, and I'll always be your son
Sometimes the most important words we don't say enough
Sometimes love hurts, it hurts way to much
Sometimes we act the verry worst to the ones we love
Sometimes we just wanna hug
Now mom i wanna thank you for everything
For all the times you were there to provide my needs
And I wanna thank you for always just loving me
Despite all the trouble sometimes I used to be
You showed me just what I'm suppose to be
And it still means alot to hear you're proud of me
And just to be your son is what I'm proud to be
So I love you and I say thanks while the kids sing:
Mommy
Thank you for being my mommy
(I just wanna thank you)
Mommy
Thank you for being my mommy
(I just wanna thank you...)
For a while mom, we really didn't talk much
But I'm glad, lately we stay in touch
Can you believe how much your little boy is growin' up
Seems like yesterday I was so young
Time passes so fast, and you know what
It's words like "I Love You" I don't say enough
And everything that you've done means so much
So thank you mom, that's love from your oldest son
Now Lord I wanna thank you for what you've done
You're my father in Heaven and I'm your son
Your also the source where my peace comes from
And you'll still be my father even if I never had one
I was lost but you changed the outcome
You put your son on the cross, and just let run
To lay down your life, just no grater love for someoe
And that's exactly what you've done
Jesus
Thank you for being my Jesus
(I just wanna thank you)
Jesus
Thank you for being my Jesusu
(I just wanna thank you)
Jesus
Thank you for being my Jesus
(I just wanna thank you)
Jesus
Thank you for being my Jesusu
I think I’m stuck in the 80’s
I think I’m stuck in the 80’s
shout outs to all the fellas and the ladies
I’m like woah man this aint what I planned
to get everyone to stare at me man
I walked in with the parachute pants
checkerboards on a pair of new vans
its kind of embarrassing man
I think I’m gonna just scare a few fans
they trying to take care of me then
cause the 80's are over so where have I been
you should know where I be
with Atari just on the TV
and a boom box tape deck no cd
with the acid washed jeans ripped in the knee like what?
well you should know what I mean
when the t-shirt is pink and lime green
it glows and it shows as bright as high beams
it's like back to the future one nine eight three lets go..
I’m like c’mon man how can you dismiss this
I got a beeper as thick as my wrist is
I got a cell phone on the wish list
about as big and as tall as ya rims is
you might think we some misfits
my girl’s hair shoots up 26 inch
in the air and you’s up in my business
but I don’t care cuz you’ll just never get this
so for instance when I rock spots
I keep it old school with a swatch watch
now I’m a grown dude but I still got
the hammer pants when I dance it’s still hot
so I roll through man its so tight
my whole click dressed like Miami Vice
listen close dude see what im gone write
it it’s like back to the future and it goes like
now I’m a be the coolest dude
even if I roll around with a rubiks cube
or maybe I’m the hugest fool
for trying to get down and make the 80's cool
but it’s so true I was a crazy kid
if you knew all the shady ways I lived
you’d be amazed but today I’m his
God’s grace now covered all them thangs I did
so take it back to the future
and take a day off like ferris bueller
back when Micheal jack was the ruler
when apple Mac had the fastest computer
I'm a school ya with my new song
about the facts of life like the sitcom
but the facts with Christ that you’ll live on
it’s like back to the future and I’m a get gone
Chorus
I got something for you
I just got one thing for you
And there’s more than enough here for you
Ya see there’s so much love here for you
(But what you gonna do with it?)
Alright I stepped right in here for you
You see tonight I got a question for you
Well actually I got to confess now to you
Really it’s more like a lesson for you
You see I got just the best thing for you
And on top of that well there’s a blessing for you
But the one thing I’m a mention to you
You see this is what I’m addressing to you
Is that Christ met his death then for you
And turned around and resurrected for you
So understand I ain’t messing with you
This is what I be stressing to you
And it’s just that...
Chorus
Ok I made it real plain now for you
I know it might sound strange now to you
I used to be just the same ways now as you
Dealing with them same pains now as you
But that’s the reason that he came down for you
And that’s the reason he took the blame now for you
And you’re the reason that he came now for you
So you could see a real change now in you
So can you see this love now for you
While he bled and he hung it was you
It left him dead it was done now for you
But that next step it comes down to you...
Chorus
That’s all I got to say now to you
See I’ve just shown the way now to you
Cause at the end of the day now it’s you
Who’s gonna have to make the change only you
See what I’ve proclaimed now to you
I broke it down made it plain now to you
What I state I ain’t ashamed now to you
Of what I say and I explained now to you
So I’m a have to just wait now on you
Hope and state that I’ll pray now for you
Anticipate and have faith now in you
That you’ll see the love that came now for you
now put two in the air (man just go and shake em off)
like you really don’t care (man just go and shake em off)
and put em to the sky (man just go and shake em off)
why don’t you hold em real high (man just go and shake em off)
go go go go off with it
are you dealing w/ these things up in ya mind right?
banged up like hit and runs from a sideswipe
here’s something you can read like a time life
something that will help you see better than ya eyesight
my life this night gone shine bright
but to just to put Jesus in the limelight
and not trusting him don’t even sound right
that’s like me going out and renting twilight
things they be getting harder
we try to hang on like our name was Peter Parker
I seen the saga so I’m seeking out the living water
instead of letting problems chop like benihanna
I been through the drama you stay ahead of me
like you was number 4 and I was number three
everything I have now is cause you be
I gotta shake it all off here’s the remedy
so understand man dude he’s never limited
sometimes it takes a little time till he finishes
I keep spitting it until ya getting it
until you give him all the credit like a gift certificate
so are you listening man what you living for
are you missing it now what you heading toward
you can’t make it all along now this for sure
that’s like running backwards through a metal doors
now he’s guaranteed for plenty more
then the little bit you tend to get and settle for
when I get on tour I’m spitting metaphors
and similes with clarity till the tongue is sore
now he reigns his blessing pour
that will keep you on you’re toes like a pedicure
with the way life goes man I’m never bored
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
Cuz this aint about KJ this about you
They said why's this kid on the mic man
He's from Florida he's Christian and he's white man
They said there was nothing in my life man
That I could ever offer except Christ, man
He said now give me everything you got
Ill take that little bit and turn it to a lot
I don't care what they say or even what they thought
I can make a way even when they say there's not
But they said just for me to give up now
They said that I'm a be messed up now
They said there's no way to get love
I was better to drop out or just sell drugs
But he said I got a much better way
If I'd let him in and just let him change
If he got a chance He would take away
Everything from the past so I wanna say is...
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
Cuz this aint about KJ this about you
They said I had no flow and no show
And no dough it was all no go
All I heard was no no and woah woah
You'll never be nothing man ya need to go home
But he said I got a habit of taking
The least likely and then doing something amazing
And right at the point when he just came in
That's exactly what he did and I aint been the same since
They said now your poor white trash
With a broken home and a broken past
There's no way that your ever gonna last
Even if u did it and you make it then you'll fall apart fast
But he said that I can do anything
Ill take you places that your eyes never seen
Anything you face anything u need
I got it covered if you'll just trust in me
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
Cuz this aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
Cuz this aint about KJ this about you
Now you can just listen to
And follow after them and everything they do
You can just play the fool
And pay attention to what they telling you
Or you can hear what God is saying
Take a look around you can see God changing
Me from the inside out I'm not the same and
I hope it's convincing now I think its so amazing
They'll say that's not possible
They'll get mad and act all hostile
They don't want nothing to do just with the gospel
But that don't mean you gotta let it stop y'all
They call me 5 2 for the reason
The little that I had it was all he was needing
Five loaves and two fishes he was feeding
10000 you finally get the meaning?
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
Cuz this aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2
This aint about me this about you
Push up a five push up a 2
Push em up high this is what you do
Push up a five push up a 2

He's the air that I breathe he's the peace in my mind
He's the relief I seek when everything isn't right
He's what I hope I can be he's what I hope I can shine
He's the hope when I'm weak he's what opened my eyes
He'll call me home then I see him then I'll go to the skies
Now I know every need he can meet every time
So I know that for me he's what I need cuz I'm blind
I can't see unless he just guides me thru the night
Now we're helpless we're weak now we all fall behind
Unless you help us so be my strength when I climb
Cause this mountain I face is so hard and so high
But I know that you be what I seek and I find
There's nothing I need except you so I cry that
One mic one cord to proclaim one track
One God one Christ one Lord and just that
I need my wife by my side and my friends at my back
Since God goes before aint a thing that I lack
I'm covered by Him what more could I ask
Everything can be a lie all I need is one fact
That Jesus is Lord I'm convinced that I can't
Make it w/out your word as my guide and my map
I need you to you to provide the strength so I'll stand
When my world falls apart and I think that I can't
Get that far and it's hard but thats when your hands
Take my heart when it's scarred and helps me understand
So all that I need is to do your commands
Everything that I see falls in line with your plans
So help me just to be all you've called and you've planned

She clutched her square phone with eyes that never held hope
and she about 12 yo but I really couldn’t tell though
her sleeves went past her elbows in when she pulled them low
they covered the cuts that ran back and forth like railroads
a short bow up in her hair that matched her shell toes
she stared at me in pale clothes she stood there froze
she said can I show you a picture in my cellphone
it’s of my dad and aint I seen him since he left home
but I aint mad it’s just my mom she feels all alone
and don’t feel bad cause this is all we’ve ever came to know
this pic is my new school but I don’t ever wants to go
cuz everyone thinks they too cool and I hate it so
I hide in my room and then I go and then I locks the door
I don’t know what to do my mom she thinks she lost control
I wanna show you a little picture before I gots to roll
I said sure then she pulled it out slow saying..
if I told you if I showed you
my pictures are all I can hold to
would I know you could I hope you
see that my pictures are all I can hold to
if God loves me then why he make me face this
I think I’m ugly I wanna change it like a facelift
then suddenly she went and took off her bracelets
showed me the cuts up on wrists and where they made prints
sometime I get mad don’t know how to take this
she showed me a picture of her dad back in 86
we look alike all the way to how our face gets
I said your right and then I laughed but let me show this
they say a picture’s worth a thousand words that I’m sure of
but let me show you this very picture you aint never heard of
pulled out a book and she said well tell me what is that
there aint no pictures in that book thats just a page that’s black
I said this picture represents exactly where we at
we in the dark without a spark of hope that will last
I flipped the page she said that aint a picture neither
that’s just a blank page, why don’t you look a bit deeper
this represents the very place now that we can go
its all based on this next page I gots to show
the next page is red you understanding this?
well that’s the blood that Jesus shed so you can live
and you can exchange your old pictures right now for Him
and you can trade it all in for what he’s down to give
I put the pictures in her hands see it comes down to this
I once was lost but then You found me and loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away
You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away (away)
Who am I? Just a thief nobody cares about
The kind that would run up in your house steal your jewels and couch
Been on the run for so long
But they caught me now
They hung me on this cross I'm on and I see the crowd
But next to me is someone who I've heard about
They say He heals the blind and lame but I got my doubts
So what's His name I can't remember
Someone screamed it out said it was Jesus
But this man he didn't make a sound
He hung there breathing with the blood running down His mouth
He'd been beaten a crown of thorns now was on his brow
See what I've done is just the reason why I'm hanging now
But this man is innocent and I can see it now
I said, "Jesus are you listening do you hear me now
Remember me just on the day You bring Your kingdom down
I want to change my ways I really want Your freedom now,"
He took my sin away and this is why I say it loud
I once was lost but then You found me and loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away
You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away (away)
He turned His head and said Today you're gonna be with Me
Cause very soon I'll be dead but I'm a set you free
Cause every drop that I've bled is so what you would see
That it was shed for you to be with Me eternally
The other thief he just laughed at what He said to me
See what I think is you're a liar and it's plain to see
But Jesus was silent and soon time began to pass
He cried "It is finished" and went and breathed his last
He died in the sky was rumbling and started turning black
But I knew He'd come again because I knew the facts
My time to die is coming soon and it's coming fast
It's hard to breathe I'm trying to began to gasp
I can't deny what is true cause it's all I have
Now I knew that paradise is where I'm heading at
I once was lost but then You found me and loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away
You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away (away)
I had a debt I could not pay
Your love broke through took it away
I once was lost now I'm found to You I make this joyful sound
Please remember me Lord when You come again
Time is passing by my life is coming to the end
I'm about to die it's time so please let me in
Please remember me Lord when You come again
I once was lost but then You found me and loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No I'm never gonna look away
You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
I flip rhymes like acro (batic)
so pump it up till they hear it in the back row
stuff em in till it’s packed tho
and let em all know till it all goes to the back do’
let the facts show you can see this
he’s just my thesis and on that note
till its caught like a lasso
its gonna stay on my thought like the spot where the hat go
(trevor mcnevan:)

Some days it sure aint easy
Waking up and being tweezy
I'm goofy tall and skinny
They said I rap too cheesy
But I'm used to losing
Used to dudes just booing
But I'm thinking about just suing
VH1 they got me ruined
Oh you think I'm fooling
What would you be doing
They said they loved your music
And they was like you rock John Reuben
They think I'm kidding
When I say I rap for a living
On top of that it's Christian
They like ... you must be tripping
It aint easy
Being tweez
Being tweez
Being t-t-t-tweezy
Next story it's all true
Backstage getting food
When I ran into this dude
"And he be like hey man who are you?" what are you talking about?
"You with that fifty two?" What?
"Oh man I love your group." it's not a group
"Which one are you?"
What are you talking man, I'm just one dude!
"What instrument do you play
Drums, bass, DJ?"
KJ Five Two that's my name
"Ah yeah right" then he walked away
My life can be so lame
Like the movie Snakes on a Plane
Somethings will never change
Anybody else feel my pain?
It aint easy
Being tweez
Being tweez
Being t-t-t-tweezy
So what's the difference y'all
Between me and a superstar
They got rims on a brand new car
And I got a scratched up used iPod
All I got is God
And really all I want is God
Really all I drop is God
Even if you think that's lame and odd
I know it's strange and all
But I'm still remaining calm
Even when it's just straight up hard
Don't plan on changing y'all
Still standing straight up tall
Don't plan on fading nah
He's all I'm claiming y'all
Even when I'm just stating y'all that
It aint easy
Being tweez
Being tweez
All rise. Case number seven-seven-seven-five-two.
Defendant KJ-52 verses the Son of God in murder one.
How do you plead?
Guilty as charged.
Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole
Truth, and nothing but the truth?
I do.
Then go ahead.
I solemnly swear to tell the truth,
The whole truth, and nothing but the
Truth now, so help me God.
What I testify and what I'm speaking
Of is an eye witness account of an
Experience of a kindof love,
I confess now to what it was.
I was guilty of making the very Son of
God now shed His blood, and
I was guilty of the reason now why He was hung, and
I'm guilty for every evil thing not that I have done.
I'm guilty for it all, I can't blame no one.
I'm filthy with what caused the death of the Son.
It kills me to think I was the one who shed His blood.
I still think of the way He died now and how it was.
It feels me with pain inside, I feel like throwing up.
I can't escape, I can't lie, I didn't make it up.
I was the one who took the life of the Holy One.
This is the first time I've confessed now to what I've done.
I'm guilty, guilty.
That's right, I'm guilty.
God forgive me, I'm guilty.
You know what? I'm guilty!
Yeah that's right, I did it.
Right out in the open for all to see it, and
I never hid it, I got to admit it.
They took the whip, ripped His back wide open and split it.
I heard Him cry every time they pulled it back and hit it.
I wondered why He was silent now, I didn't get it.
I watched Him die while He cried out "It is finished".
Thought nobody would find out about the the crime I've committed.
I tried to hide out, it's too late, that's right I did this.
It's my time now, my own eyes have been a witness to my crime.
Now I'm speechless and I'm defenseless.
Can anybody find out it's obvious that this is my final time.
Now I've finally come to my senses.
I'm a climb down and take whatever I'm sentenced.
I know why there's no way now that I could miss this.
I opened my eyes, now I see Him just for who He is.
This my guilt is mine now, it's so obvious that...
I'm guilty.
God forgive me, I'm guilty!
I'm guilty.
That's right, I'm guilty.
So help me.
I'm just another person, I'm just another man.
I was the one that hurt Him, I finally understand.
Now I know that for certain I caused the nails to land,
That left Him dead and murdered, pierced in feet and hands.
So now you've heard it, I testified and took the stand.
No other way I could word it, this is my confession and,
I never lied or purgured, I told just the best I can but,
I was the one that cursed Him, I was the trigger man.
The page is turning and I've now just confessed to this.
I didn't kill Christ, but it was just my sin that did.
Now I've confessed to the crime, I don't deserve to live,
I'm ready to do my time. All that I can say is...
I'm guilty.
God forgive me, I'm guilty!
I don't deserve to live, I'm guilty!
Take me away, I'm guilty.
I'm guilty!
Case number seven-seven-seven-five-two,
KJ-52 verses the Son of God in murder one.
The court has found you guilty as charged.
However, after further review of the case,
The prosecution has dropped the charges.
I heard em say me and K don't even speak no more
Then why you hear my voice coming out these speakers for
We gone keep on talking we gone keep on walking
Past these cats and this trash that they keep on squawking
Went our separate ways did our separate things
But real friendship is something you can't separate
I had to deal with pride I had to let it die
I thank God that we set our differences aside
It's S.O.I. there aint nothing you can do about it
Log onto chat rooms go ahead and tell your crew about it
Say what you say but me and K know the truth about it
God forgives and your lying we can do without it
So while you spread gossip we gone spread gospel
Speak that truth and keep it moving like some real apostles
Call us Paul and Silas man you can't divide us
Praise God cause the Spirit is the light that guides us
I will never stop
Will never quit
Will never drop till it's over with
I will never stop
Will never quit
Will never drop until he said it's finished
The first thing I heard I was wack and I was white
The second thing I heard I couldn't rap and couldn't write
This occurred and happened pretty much all my life
So by the 3rd time I just laughed at em and rocked the mic
It just happened to make me work harder and work better
My mailbox was filled up all the rejection letters
One day I'm a take em all out and put em together
Frame em stick them on my wall now so I'll remember
Where God brought me where God took me
Where God got me from where I just should be
You can't stop me from being what I just could be
So what you say and what you state aint never shook me
I aint no veteran but I sure aint no rookie
Anywhere that I've been is cause God took me
And I'm gonna go with him anyplace God put me
They couldn't comprehend they never understood me but..
I needed one shot I needed one break
Instead I got them telling me that I aint got what it takes
But listen and think about the next time you wanna hate
See God's got a way of using the least likely candidates
I seen the closest of my friends up and leave my life
The ones I would depend on didn't treat me right
I'm trying to hang on it lead to some sleepless nights
But I stood strong only cause of Jesus Christ
I been down and out I've been tossed away
I been lied about been booed off the stage
Now your finding out I wont ever change
I'm a keep grinding now you see I'm here to stay
I wont ever drop I wont walk away
I wont ever stop see I'm here to stay
To everybody that thought that I would fade away
I would never forget you ( the place that you brought me from)
I will never forget you (and everything you done)
I won’t forget the very place that I come from
growing up in Tampa when I was real young
you see it’s kind of rough when your living in the slum
the neighborhood was kind of tough but it was still fun
we’d come home stuff missing on a few nights
got our place robbed that’s all I knew right
my dad’s job only earning him a few dimes
the power got turned off quite a few times
but I don’t claim that the ghetto was the hardest
some of the nicest people was there irregardless
the old Cuban guy my dad always talked with
gave me a dollar when I walked him to the market
I don’t regret anyone of my hardships
I became free cause what your love did
and looking back and I can see how far I come since
it’s all cause of you and what you just did
I remember going to school getting reduced lunch
rocking hand me downs riding the school bus
and every weekend my dad would come to pick me up
we was on the bridge one time and got stuck
I heard a loud noise the engine blown up
we gotta push the car call a tow truck
man it’s kind of hard but you know what
I come so far only cause of your love
at 18 I moved out and tried to grow up
just hoping I could make it through the next month
my job’s paying me like less than six bucks
but time and time again I saw you show up
a family took me in man they showed love
I got a room from them slept on the sofa
and everything they did it meant so much
but as I reminisce my thanks go up saying..
I still remember that first little apartment
had to put the tv on a box right on the carpet
that first year married it was the hardest
crazy neighbors always fighting getting into arguments
we had each other though we didn’t need much
even when we scraped up like 33 bucks
to get our xmas tree that’s like 3 foot
it’s kind of sad to see but we was like so what
I’m working at the church plus I’m trying to rhyme
my wife’s car keeps breaking down all the time
we’ve come so far since then now I find
10 years later I got a house and I can call it mine
you’ve been so good just to her and I
anything we ever needed you still provide
that’s what I’ve seen like each and every time
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven

it was late that night about a quarter past ten
I’m at my Grandmas house just me and my cousin
we sitting around just bored and doing nothing
so we snuck out and crept out to have a little fun then
I’m on my skateboard he’s on his bike
now he’s towing me down the street up in the middle of the night
now I guess we both knew just what we did it wasn’t right
see we really didn’t care we went a mile and took a right
and at this time there’s no Jesus in my life
I used to cuss used to drink I was nuts I used to fight
then we met up with some kids when we stopped up at the light
then we went up to the store stole some cokes and a sprite
we on the highway and a cop’s driving by
when he slammed up on his brakes that’s the time now when I
turned around to escape through a parking lot to hide
see little did I know that was the night I could’ve died
(one single night one single night night
one single night one single night night)
see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
do you know where you’re gonna go when ya die
(one single night one single night night
one single night one single night night)
see I almost got shot by the cops one single night
do you know where you’re gonna go when its time
by this time see I’m almost to the clearing
the cop said to stop but I really couldn’t hear him
all I did was run and I didn’t even know I was near him
he barely saw me come that’s the reason that I scared him
he had pulled out his gun then fired as I was appearing
it hit me in the chest right then I started feeling
my body going numb and I could feel myself bleeding
now I’m covered in my blood right now this is all im hearing
is my cousin standing over me he’s crying and he’s screaming
the cops holding me plus he’s trying to get me breathing
but it’s getting cold to me and I could feel myself weaken
it getting hard to breathe I can’t even hear him speaking
now my body’s getting weak and I cant see them
will I go to hell cuz God I didn’t need Him
man im only 12 one more chance is what im needing
is this the end now for me will I die this evening like
heres the real facts so listen as I drop em
i got away that night cuz see another kid they caught him
the cop pulled his gun but nah he never shot him
I used to wonder what if they never would’ve got him
I used to think about that night
had I been in the wrong place at the very wrong time
what if that cop would’ve let that bullet fly
what if I would’ve died up at that point up in my life
(what would’ve happened) see I wasn’t living right
the life I was living I wasn’t giving it to Christ
as I’m looking back right now in hindsight
it wasn’t just good luck I didn’t have no nine lives
(it was something more) I got a chance now to find
God could save me and give me peace up in my mind
and then he just changed me when he opened up my eyes
extra extra read all about it
who chose ya red carpet outfit
that halter top is an ultra flop
you should fire whoever called the shots
cause they dialed it wrong
let me dial this in yeah I know the trends
man the hipster style is in
but before you wear tight pants and bright colors
walking around thinking you fly like the wright brothers
you should take the time to get ya life right brother
think about the price that was paid when Christ suffered
he did it for us look at what we do to him
we gossip on internet blogs act like hooligans
I know ya busy with the Courtney love fan club
but wait a minute we been redeemed by the lambs blood
giving our life back aint too much to ask
matter of fact I wanna give everything I have
check the headlines here’s the headlines
Jesus is alive that’s the headlines
so read the headline you’ll see the headline
they went and beat till he died then he redlined
now something needs to change no doubt
I just aint waiting for obama or McCain to come and bail me out
I know that Jesus wont fail me now
cause that be the hope and the change that I wrote about
I’m rolling out I keep holding out
until I retire from the service like colin powell
now 30 silver coins went and sold him out
today we do the same thing every time we close our mouth
call me wide receiver cuz I go the routes
ill light ya up then blow ya out
I’m married to the mic tonight we going out
so either put ya hand up or stick it on over ya mouth
I got a plan that I know about
it involves a man who took my sin in the whole amount
I was so in doubt until he showed me out
Feat. T. Cleazy
CHORUS:
Some people gotta learn the hard way
I guess I'm the kinda guy who has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for Your help
VERSE 1 (KJ-52):
The warning signs like faires in the night
I proceed with my greed indeed but now in spite
of the fire I knows to burn I never learn
as the world turns on its axis I'm like Saul
on the road to Damascus I'm like broken fragments
of broken glasses can't see the facts is
from the fiction God's voice now speaking
but i never listened got me wishing I never
took the hard way 'cause every day is a hard day
turn my heart away God be feeling like
He's far away Jesus take the scars away
'cause life be mad hard today
trying hard not to sway
selfish way finally catching up to me
but if I fall you's catching me
I know You's catching me
CHORUS
VERSE TWO:
Been high and low but the stories told
my eyes can show that I walked the hard ways road
when it's my time to go I'll stand toe to toe
to one who grips my soul whose never letting go
life's so cold but so many times
I shed so many tears from so many eyes spoke so many
lies
I was the maker of my own demise
my own face I couldn't recognize woke up one day
and realized my compromised lifestyle
since the birth canal to a juvenile yo this kid was wild
sometimes it hurts to smile but Jesus made it worth my
while
keeping it versatile-like I was writing in Spanish backwards
in a cursive style so meanwhile to the mean time
I leave the blind to lead the blind
so with every step I climb
Chorus
Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in
Don’t you ever let up, don’t you ever be quitting
Now it’ll be one year ago, the 10th of May
When he vanished into thin air just up up and away
And she still blames herself to this very single day
Was it something I did or something I didn’t say
In many ways she feels like her fault that he did it
He went out for milk but he never came back w/ it
She waits at home and waits by the phone
Three kids and unemployed and she still stuck all alone
So what you gonna do Ma now where you gonna go
Don’t give up things like these they come and go
Keep on holding on this is all I only know
In every single situation God’s in control
Chorus
The second scenario just a little different
I don’t want to be specific or have to be explicit but
I’ll paint the picture and hopefully now you get it
It used to take place any time his uncle paid a visit
And everything that happened crushed him
He was scarred and destroyed just from one man’s lusting
Touched in places that he never should’ve been touched in
Scared him said he’d kill him and cut him just to hush him
And for 10 long years he couldn’t function
Tell he met the one and only person now that truly loved him
And found a refuge when the arm of Christ held him
If ya ask how he made it this is what he tells him that
Chorus
Here’s the question now tell me what do you do
When you feel the whole world just got dropped on you
And everything you built crash land on top of you
And nobody seem to care just what your going through
Do ya give up give out drop out or drop in
Do you walk out wake up cop out or stop then
Now how much would it take for you to throw the towel in
How soon will you break now how soon ya giving in
How far can you make it if your always quitting then
That’s the message that I send hopefully ya hearing then
On man ya can’t depend so don’t put your trust in him
That’s what God be sayin now in case ya listening
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that holla if you got that
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that well holla back if you got that
Do you got what I got
Cuz what I got is the reason I changed up a lot
And I don't wanna walk how I used to walk
And I don't wanna talk how I used to talk
Anyplace that you're at or anywhere you are
If you need this it really aint very far
You cant see it dwells all up in my heart
But you'll need this in case ya life fell apart
Jesus the one my hope is set upon
The secret to how I keep trekking on
He's the reason I'm no longer heading wrong
Cause he's leading on the path im getting on
I'm believing when things going wrong
He will be the rock that I get up on
Cuz I've seen it in everything I'm telling on
Do you need this here's what I'm telling y'all
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that holla if you got that
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that well holla back if you got that
Do you got that so what it be
Do you got the hope plus the peace
That everywhere you go It'll never leave
Well if so then let it show where I can see
But if not man I got the remedy
To every problem that could ever be
Cause he can solve em but do you see
Well open your heart it'll set you free
What I drop man I hope your getting me
Cuz in your top ten he cant be number 3
You gotta stop then and just let him lead
Let him hop in and give him the key
Well listen up dukes if you're hearing me
Cause what I just said is more than you'll ever need
And what he just gives is more than you'll ever see
Trying to do it on your own so I'm a speak saying..
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that holla if you got that
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that well holla back if you got that
So what you do when things get hot
What you think you got when everything stopped
What you think you'll drop when the things pop
And all fall apart and everything blocked
We go thru things non-stop
They want to hold us down leave us bound and just locked
But thing that I found and I just taught
You aint gotta bow down to no thing except God
You see he holds up my heart
And I can go far cuz he holds up my arms
And he keeps me calm plus he keeps me on
The path that walk and that I need to be on
Now you need to be warned
You can only make it all up in your life by yourself so long
Without Christ cuz his life was born
And he gave it and came back so check the song saying..
Do you got that do you got that
Do you got that holla if you got that
Do you got that do you got that

Who's idea was this?
A Christian Floridian rapping white kid
Whoever did must've flipped they lid
He's bugged out he dances like Taylor Hicks
You know you don't fit in
When your own myspace only got 3 friends
It's Tom your mom and a dude named Ben
And I don't even know how I added him
Yep I aint got no class
Cuz my lights still up and Christmas passed
I go to McDonalds aint got no cash
I just order hot sauce then I walk out fast
I head to Wal-Mart to buy some pants

And let me make it real clear on this here track
I'm a do my thing you can't stop that

I don't think the kid is well
He sends viruses to his own email
He got 5 text messages all from myself
Saying your wack dude LOL
I really used to keep it real
In my little mini van with the 10 inch wheels
Driving up to side just get my meal
Can I get fries, "sir this is Taco Bell"
So watch out now ya better be careful
He's about to pass out cause I think that his heads full
Off Mountain Dews 10 cans of red bull
With 17 shots of Starbucks espresso
I think I'm stuck in the 80's
But shout outs to all the fellas and ladies
Soccer moms in mini vans, Mercedes
Talking about "KJ so crazy"
Go ahead boy do yo thang
Go ahead and just do yo thang (they keep saying)
Go ahead boy do yo thang
Go ahead and just do yo thang (I can hear them say)
Go ahead boy do yo thang
Go ahead and just do yo thang (they keep saying)
Go ahead boy do yo thang
Go ahead and just do yo thang
You know how I roll, yo

And I don't fit ya mold tho
All I can say is this is that's what God chose so
When I come thru you be like oh no
Whats he gonna do he's just so so
Aint gotta thing to prove slow ya roll bro
I bring Christ to you nothing more so
Cuz he's just my life's hope
He's the net when I walk on the tightrope
You can bet that he'll catch if I might fall
Life is hard but he's how my life copes
Care less you think if I'm dope
I could have the freshest rhyme flow
I could have the dopest live show
Without him tho it don't mean a thing so bring it..
Go ahead boy do yo thang
Go ahead and just do yo thang (they keep saying)
Go ahead boy do yo thang

Go ahead boy do yo thang

You're so beautiful
You'll always be daddy's girl
You're so beautiful
You'll always be daddy's girl
Just an average girl they might've missed ya
You got a mom a step dad a little sister
I know his words they used to hit ya
You feel fat and ugly so your getting thinner
Sometimes you throw up or you skip dinner
Sometimes you hate the face you see in the mirror
You cry at night but nobody ever seems to hears ya
Nowhere to turn its getting no clearer
You got father in heaven though who wants to hold ya
Wrap ya in his arms lay ya head on his shoulder
Keep ya safe and warm when this world is getting colder
Tell you that you're beautiful over and over
He sees u struggling cause he's the one that knows ya
Sees the pain ya in plus he wants to show ya
How much you mean to him that's why I hope ya
Take the love he gives this is what he told ya saying...
Well do you hate what your looking at
Hate looking at this person that's looking back
Hate the way that they talk behind your back
So ashamed when ya walking to ya class
And every time now that you pass
They tease you any way they can it makes ya mad
You wanna run away from all the stress you have
Just want to fit in but it seems you never can
The other girls treat you like you're so strange
In your life it seems like things never gone change
You just feel like a no name.
And all you wanna do is make it all go away
Skipping school sneaking out your coming home late
Far from cool so you coming up with no dates
How did your own face become what you so hate
When all along you couldn't hear what he was gone say it was..
Do you see how much you mean now to your Father
He don't make no junk but yet you feel you gotta
Chase so many things that this world wants to offer
You got so many needs he wants to fill yet you bother
To try to run after anything this world will give
But do you understand how beautiful you are to him
Cause then and only then that's when you truly live
That's when you comprehend who my Jesus is
Now to every single girl down to every kid
That struggles with your looks but now you always hid
How you felt deep inside but you always wish
To be somebody else well listen up to this
Don't believe the junk don't believe the lies
Cause your always beautiful now through his eyes
In your life you can find ya peace of mind
The boy stepped out his house on to the sidewalk
Looked down the street on his block and then he just stopped
And tied the shoes on his feet and then he just walked
It was the middle of the week outside was real hot
He told his dad where he would be now and what not
Said he would go down by trees near the bus stop
The clock read quarter to three and he just thought I'll sneak around and play hide and seek in the back
And on his way to the spot a man from upstairs
Told him to stop and come here and he just stared
At this little boy of seven years with brown hair
And as he came near the man whispered in his ear
What he said left him numb frozen with fear
He wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go anywhere
He wanted to scream but he couldn't he was glued there
He wanted to leave but he wouldn't he was too scared
Cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Don't cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
What happened that day left him changed forever
A day he wisshed he could erase and never remember
He tried to block out the pain as he got older
But he was consumed with hate now for this neighbor
And everyday he was ashamed when he saw himself
So ashamed that he proclaimed that he would never tell
Blocked out the memory of the pain so he'd never feel
He'd pretend to be ok and hide in his shell
He'd try to put a smile on his face like all was well
But this child couldn't change what he really felt
He blamed God for the cards that he was dealt
His heart grew hard by the time he was twelve
Began to fall apart and his grades start to fail
Until the day he cried to God asking for His help
He wanted to find and start a new life for himself
He closed his eyes and into the arms of Christ he fell
Cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Don't cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Everything you heard the boy would never speak
He held it all inside until he utrned fifteen
I know that might be hard for you to believe
But he couln't talk about it until God set me free
See way back when he was seven years old
He was sexually abused but no one was ever told
With nowhere to turn and no place to go
See he thought he could get through and maintain control
But little did he know he coulnd't make it on his own
But that was just the time when you came through to show
How much You loved himand You wanted him to know
That You would never leave and You would never go
And You taught him to forgive and gave peace to his soul
And now he trully lives cause You made him whole
From that day ever since he ain't never been alone
That's why he'd convinced he don't have to cry no more
Cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Don't cry no more
I feel my chest just ache with every breath I breathe
With every step I take I feel my strength just leave
I feel I’m next to break it’s getting hard to see
My death is on it’s way they stop and laugh at me
They heard just what I say but as I walk these streets
They spit upon my face curse me as I bleed
But as I call Your name I know Your hearing me
So hear me as I pray but not so far from me
Father I know this day I know what You planned for me
And the reason I came it was to Earth to be
A way for those astray so they can know Your peace
So as I go to my grave I’m knowing what You hold for me
The blood runs down my face and lands upon my sleeve
I’m all alone today my friends abandon me
But still it’s all the same it’s prophesied to be
With final steps I make they start to scream at me
Chorus
Crucify Him, crucify Him, crucify Him, crucify Him!
Cross upon my back the hill in front of me
Whips begin to lash and draw more blood from me
As I begin to gasp I see my destiny
They hold me down and laugh and place the nails on me
With every spike they grab I scream violently
With every time they jab the nails I writhe in agony
They strip me of all I have I’m naked for all to see
A king without a land and stripped of all his royalty
Nine inch nails in hands and now upon my feet
As I the Son of Man I’m hanging next to two thieves
My Father in heaven now why has Thou forsaken me
I’m barely breathing now my lungs collapse inside of me
I’m barely seeing now my vision blurs in front of me
I’m barely even now a man you’d recognize and see
I’m whipped and bruised beaten spit upon and cursed to be
I look upon the gathered crowd as they scream at me
Chorus
It’s getting darker now the sun it covers up its light
It’s getting harder now for me to hold onto this life
I’m slipping farther now to death I struggle just to fight
My head it starts to bow I know it’s just about that time
For it to be over now their life is why I’ve given mine
I’m barely holding now I know I’m just about to die
I came down from heaven to seek and save and just to find
See I showed them how I healed the lame and plus the blind
But I’m going now I got a purpose that’s divine
As I cry out loud from the pain that just fills my mind
They tell me to climb on down from the cross that holds me high
The mock me now as I struggle now and just to try
To hold my ground as the black clouds fill the sky
It’s over now, I bow my head as I begin to cry
It is, Father, It Is Finished!!
Chorus
Chorus
We going to fly with You (Now He’ll be coming down)
We going to fly with You (Now He’ll be coming soon)
We going to fly with You (Now He’ll be coming down)
We going to fly with You (Now He’ll be coming soon)
It’s just an average day I’m thinking every thing’s okay
I’m walking down the street just trying to pass my day away
And all of a sudden I turn my head and now I hear a crash
A car is flying towards me and plus it’s coming fast
I’m moving quickly as it crashed into the side of the street
I looked inside but now there’s no one in the driver’s seat
And all around me it’s only chaos that I can see
These people running and screaming but it makes no sense to me
Now what happened I look up and see a plane just crashing
Into the side of a building up in smoke and flames blasting
When suddenly it hit me so clearly just the reality
That the Son of God came back but didn’t come back for me
Chorus
I was that part time Bible reader slash part time church leader
Giving God part time I’m a part time believer
You’d seen me on the front pew just by the speaker
Falling asleep on Sunday morning
Just while I’m listening now to the preacher
Had everybody fooled including me
The fools included me but really now the only fool was truly me
See I truly be wishing I could change the way I was living
While others we’re seeking after God I was seeking after religion
I’m trying to call my friends but they keep on coming up missing
I’m getting stressed cause there’s one thing that I was wishing
That I would’ve done more with the truth of the words that I was given
Why did I waste that time why didn’t I just listen
Chorus
Jesus I’m sorry Jesus is it too late for me
Jesus can you hear me You feel so far from me
I’m sorry for what I did I’m sorry for the way I lived
I been ignoring You ever since I was a little kid
I know that You forgive but can You just forgive me
For all the times I’ve ignored for all the loving that You give me
Please don’t forget me I’m sorry please believe me
Don’t go! Jesus don’t leave me!!!
Ooh ahh push em high
Now i was just walking through cartoon land
When all of a sudden i ran into sponge bob square pants
He was chilling with the power puff girls and spiderman
Driving down sesame street with scooby doo in a mini van
He was rocking to the beat driving as fast as they can
They almost ran over ren and stimpy and he man
I yelled at them slow down but they didn't understand
They said they heading over to a free hip hop jam
Over in the park let me catch a ride then
I got in picked up bart simpson kept driving
Got to the spot and the party was live and
At the open mic contest bevis and butthead was rhyming
I was like them kids is wack give me just a try and
Waited patiently till it was just my time and
I told the crowd make noise get ya hands high and
This is what i said when i grabbed on the mic i told em...
Said to the crowd "my name's KJ-52"
And i came to get down i got something to say to you
Understand what i mean even if you're a cartoon
Jesus reigns supreme that's how my team comes through
And then all of a sudden these wannabe hard dudes
From south park walk up just talking smack too
And the smurfs backed them up i guess they was just a crew
And said let's battle fool i said check it out duke
Your five inch tall plus ya crew is all blue
I'd probably step on ya'll if i just bettled you
They said la la la la....
That's all you ever say dude
Just right then just the crowd started to boo
Them right off the stage but i knew just what to do
I told d.j. voltron just on the ones and two's
Man kick the beat check it out this is how im rocking your
Well the crowd started cheering the party was slamming
The thundercats and pokemon they was break dancing
The transformers hopped in and started pop locking
With g.i. joe and johnny bravo chilling and just watching
I just stayed on the mic and kept the speakers knocking
Letting them know that christ was the reason that i'm dropping
I could go on all night and jsut keep on talking
But just right then power rangers started walking
Up on the stage and said i won the open mic and
As i reached to get my trophy and just claim my prize and
each and every time I call
each and every time I fall
you will get me through it all
even if I’m against the wall
now I was like LOL
you hit me w/ a call but it wasn’t on a cell
I went and got ya voice mail
right at the times when all the choice failed
I was heading right towards hell
laughing like ROFL
I couldn’t even find self
but you hit me on back like TTYL
and yet I still keep stressing this
you still keep sending ya text messages
and then I read all ya sentences
66 books broke down in 2 testaments
and then I started to make sense of this
understood now what the lesson is
you got me standing on the precipice
will I call you w/ the hopes that ya getting this saying
so you still calling me
but I hit you on back like BRB
you said believe on me
and I couldn’t miss that like some neon green
it was all beyond me
yet I’m still playing games like it’s 3 on 3
you said lean on me
just call out my name like OMG
now before I see death
ya better write back soon like WBS
I couldn’t see what’s next
so stressed you was like did you read the text
when it comes down to sin
we just get owned like PWN
but since I got a new best friend
Back in the day when I was a teenager
Before I had status and a two-way pager
You could find the KJ listening to hip-hop
Blastin it so loud my parents was like "Turn it off"
I used to rock turtlenecks with MC Hammer pants
Watch Yo MTV raps just to catch the latest dance
I did the running man they said not bad for a white man
I said I'm not really white I just really need a tan
I used to write the girlie's phone numbers down upon my hand
And I didn't go nowhere without my tapes and walkman
Rolling up the bottom of my pants as tight as I can
And I'm up late at night talking to my girlfriend saying...
Whatcha doin?
Nothin
I gotta go
Umm allright
You hang up first
No you hang up first
On the count of three...1...2...3.. Still there?
Back in the day (I was so cool)
Back in the day (The coolest one in school)
Back in the day (Well I can't lie to you)
Back in the day (I was a nerdy little dude)
Back in the day when I was a teenager
I wanted lines in my eyebrows so I took a razor
But I messed up and accidently I just sshaved the
Whole eyebrow off I was like "I'm going crazy!"
See it was tough just growing up in the 80's
But for me it was rough cuz no girls would ever date me
All the ladies I would ask out was like "Well maybe....
You're okay but you're no Patrick Swayze"
Unfortunately I think all my teachers hate me
Cuz i sit in the back making noises like I'm crazy
Ahhhhhhhhh...But it's all gravy
In third period today I'm gonna ask out this lady
Got the paper got the pencil now whoops here I go
Will you go out with me check yes or no
I'm feeling all slick when I handed her the note
I told you ten times already no now leave me alone
Back in the day when I was a teenager
I was only 15 when I just met my savior
And he came in straight in my heart and he just changed the
Way I used to live in ill behavior
See it's amazing to see my life that I just gave ya
So amazing to me Jesus Christ you became the
Savior to me and ain't never been the same the
Way I would be back in the day it would amaze ya
But the change that I see it was done in a major
Way I would be so that all I can do is thank ya
And every day just for me is a new day to praise ya
Cuz you came just to be all I need and you just made a way for
Me to see so I broke it down for you now I'm a take you back in the day kind of
Like this dude.....
Dum dum dum du du dum dum
Dum dum dum du du dum dum
and if you don’t know what to do get back online
and if you don’t know the truth get back online
now hit the button reboot get back online
get back online get back online
when I first got the friend request
I was like now whos this who be sending this
I went online hit ya profile but then I guess
I was wild as a child w/ my senselessness
couldn’t vibe when you said I should then repent
hit deny then relied then I sent it back
time to time you would try but I must regret
had you on block with all your friend attempts
you had me on top 8 saw your pics and vids
I went and walked my way like you didn’t exist
I read your blogs and I’d comment on your sentences
I was wrong till I found out what you went and did
you broke my walls right down and my defensiveness
I watched it fall right now since I been convinced
ever since you got added this has been commenced
you went and changed my status to what its been just since
my whole life I tried to hurry through
I was hurting dude stressed out read the current mood
I didn’t want to turn to you
I set the profile to private is what I learned to do this is true
foul mouth full of attitude until I heard of you
you added me before I added you
I can’t express all my gratitude you let them murder you
you went offline but came out the tomb
I ran a search then I brought ya name up
and now the whole profile changed up
straight up you didn’t care how my face looked
you invaded myspace w/ your facebook
now I was straight shook but you was online
and now I read your word line on line
you’re profile is like all mine
and every email back is always on time
now anyplace now that I go
that if I find that I start to sync just like my iphone
mind blown off the hook like a dial tone
in any timezone I know that I’m home
and when I roam peace flows like a river
I follow you like a tweets from a twitter
and I can see and remember and I see and consider
now every need for me you deliver
if I could load it all to youtube
and they could see the very death right now just that you knew
how they beat you buried you bruised you
how many views on the page now would you do
would they choose you would it make em mad
would they ignore it like a banner ad
or would I be just another fad
You are all I need all I got
you are all I need all I want
You are all I need all I got
you are all I need all I want
I find myself on the road
Talking to you on the cell phone now at home
there was 10,000 last night at the show
yet without you here it still felt alone
and I always feel like I’m always on the go
always another night that I’m just up and gone
I’m sorry if you might feel like your all alone
spend another night by yourself now at home
I aint got it all figured out
I lay awake and pray sometimes filled with doubt
I’m ashamed of the things that come out my mouth
What I say I don’t mean if I get mad and I shout
such an incredible woman
The way that you are and everything that your doing
Your wonderful amazing I wanna take a moment
And tell you that I love you and that’s for certain cause..
So its just another day
Do another show hop on another plane
Send you an email and tell you I’m ok
While I stare out the window and I start to pray
I ask God to cover you now and keep you safe
I asked him to give you wisdom fill you with his grace
2 more days and just I’ll see your face
48 hours but sometimes I just hate
to be gone this long but really what can I state
I chose this life and to live it out this way
its hard to follow God’s plan at times I must say
but its worth it I know at the end of the day
but anyway with every single thing we been through
with Him in our lives aint a thing we couldn’t get through
just to have you in my life that we live through
it’s a blessing I want to tell you that I miss you and..
I’m proud to wear this ring on my left hand
It represents that you’ll always be my best friend
And reminds me that im just a blessed man
And how God never gives second best and
I remember when I popped the question
Down on my knees I was worrying and stressing
But of course you said yes then
And I’ve been loving every second like ever since then
you see you got a special way
June 6th 1998 a special day
The way that I feel it could never ever change
Cuz when I see you still takes my breath away
we got married seems like yesterday
I can lose it all they can take the rest away
but if I got you I wont stress the mess I’d face
Its the tweezyman
they call me tweezyman
Its the tweezyman
they call me tweezyman (get get down)
oh no here we go again
I was rolling when he was going in
he was like Oh man yeah I know you’re here let me go to the door and get my older friend
held it in with a grin is what I went and did
when he came back fast w/ another kid
I had to laugh when he asked as I shook my head
He was like aint you the dude from rob and big
hold it kid man I think you’re blind
you got me confused w/ another guy
I went and looked at the dude when I said I rhymed
and he was like yo… Kevin federline! Whats up?

step back get the fact then you’ll recognize
cause I’m back to attack what you expect to find
it’s the new and improved kj supersized
take it back to the 1980’s
when my hair was black and wavy
way back when I was acting crazy
I was mad gotta attract the ladies

I was hoping for Patrick Swayze
but instead I got Kevin spacey

this junk just keeps on happening
you can just keep keep on bashing
while the world just keeps on laughing
but I’m a just keep on rapping

while the crowd just keeps on packing

t dot weezy weezy
Would you please,

my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I€™m asking one thing...
Back in the day I used to rock the MC Hammer pants
jump in the middle of the party bust the running man
doing the Roger Rabbit at the middle school dance
got my man next to the bleachers now that€™s where we stand
walk up to the girl like €œnow will you dance with me?€?
she€™s like €œwell listen you€™ll never ever have a chance with me
I got a boyfriend and he€™s at like six foot three
250 pounds and he could beat you up in his sleep
and I€™m like €œwell really what€™s that got to do with me?€?
I don€™t see him around here so why don€™t you just come with me
I€™ll get you some fruit punch maybe some cookies
I got the new Vanilla Ice tape how can you not love me?
she€™s like €œwell first off all your pants is straight ugly
you can€™t dance and your personality just bug€™s me
so back up off me cause I really got€™s to let you know
that my boyfriend€™s right over there ohh I got to go
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I€™m asking one thing...
I grew up in Inglewood a little brown boy
had straight hair and I rocked corduroy
walked down Venice way in my own way
wasn€™t very popular with the girls in 5th grade
they used to call me nerd
that was even if they used to call me at all
across the school hall I put my head and thought
what could I do to pursue and fought
in my own mind was a struggle of sorts
school was a game and I was off court
on the bench and the coach wouldn€™t let me off once
I sat in the corner of the yard like a dunce
and all I ever wanted was the girl to have lunch
maybe in the cafeteria with some punch
but it didn€™t happen I didn€™t have heart
cause I knew how it would end from the start and then I asked...
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I€™m asking one thing...
when I was growing up it was hard to be happy
kids knock the books out my hand and make fun of my acne (exactly)
give me a wedgie while they throw spitballs at me
and stuff me in my own locker and laugh at me
(ahhhh ha..) oh you think that€™s real funny
cause I€™m 5 foot with huge feet and I dress crummy
and all the school bullies want to just take my lunch money
c€™mon man I only got a dollar twenty
ya know ya life is just really sad man
when you play dodge ball your picked as the last man
and ya run as fast as ya can just like a mad man
cause the football team wants to throw you in the trash can
so really will this madness ever end
really will the nerd ever get revenge?
will this girl call me back at around ten?
will you go out w/ me? I just want to be friends
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I€™m asking one thing...
Now days I€™m a little older plus a little bolder
but it seems like I just can€™t get over
you ever have a day where nothing goes right
well that just seems to be the story of my whole entire life
so anybody out there know what I mean?
to feel like your third string on a football team?
and ya never ever gonna reach any of your dreams?
and your only hope is making onion rings at burger king
but now a days a lot of things done changed
since Christ came into my life now and just rearranged
the way I look at myself son it aint the same
I drive in a whole €˜nother lane going against the grain
I know it might just seem a little strange
the fact remains I changed when I called on his name
so call me a nerd call me lame it don€™t matter to me
see all I need to know is that my wife will dance with me
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I€™m asking one thing...
HOOK:
Why is it more that things change the more they stay the same?
Why do old people drive slow in the fast lane?
Why is it when I grab the mic you stare at me strange?
Why's every time I eat I get my shirt stained? (dang!)
Wassup Tremaine, what, your name's Wayne?
Dang man, why can't I just remember people's names?
All the same there's a question in my mind
Why do I have to wait in line just to wait in another line
And when I think I'm done I gots to do it one more time?
Why oh why am I always stuck behind
The lady who has writes a check in the express check out line?
Excuse me miss, it's 10 items not 99.
Why do most rappers they just spit the same rhymes?
Why do girls go to the bathroom at the same time?
Why when something's wrong I just say I'm fine?
But why ask why when I ask it all the time?
CHORUS:
Why is the grass green? Why's the sky blue?
Why oh why do I do what I do?
Can you please tell me why that is cause I don't have a clue?
Now why is that? I was about to ask you.
Why am I me? and why are you you?
Why do we run in circles chasing after nothing new?
Somebody won't you please tell me why because I haven't got a clue?
Yo why is it my man? I was about to ask you.
(Soulheir the manCHILD)
Why do the voices in my head get louder when I try to sleep?
Why can't I seem to count all the leaping sheep?
I'm knee deep in distribution, retail, paperwork, and e-mail.
Why can't I afford a secretary to handle office detail?
Why are prices high, water wet, people cruel?
Why does every single record exec try to play me for the fool?
Why don't bar stools have backs? Do they want the drunks to fall off?
And why do we have to fill up all the precious silence with small talk?
Why do all walk with our heads down and walkmans up to ten?
Are we afraid to let a stranger in every now and then?
Why do sucker emcees spit loud and claim to be the hardest
And then sit down to write their rhymes with a dictionary plus a thesaurus?
Why does the commerce strange art instead of the other way around?
I guess it's hard to work the angles when the cipher's always round.
Why do we drown our sorrow, reach both hands out for tomorrow
When just living today is hard enough to swallow? Why?
CHORUS
(Soulheir the manCHILD)
Why do conceptual song structures cramp my style and hand alike?
Why do organized emcee battles make wack rappers grab the mic?
Why am I here, cause the instruction manual wasn't clear?
Why does my transmission make that sound when I try to shift it's gears?
Why is my stereo so loud? Do I want all neighbors to hear?
Am I my own street team member try to catapult my career?
Why does a dog bark, bee sting, bird sing?
But first things first, why do you burn my album with left hands on your purse string?
(KJ)
Why do we disrespect each other instead of loving one another?
Why do we have to focus on the skin tone and color?
Why can't we see that we sisters and we brothers
And understand we all equal to God and plus He loves us?
Bust this. Ima say this just again and again.
Why oh why can't we all be friends?
But there's one things I just can't comprehend.
Why do they put Braille at a drive-up ATM's?
I guess that's for all the car driving blind men.
Why do we just hate God but really love to sin?
Really, man, shouldn't that be just the other way around?
Why do I always have to laugh when somebody falls down?
Why do things get worse when they're already going wrong?
Why's customer service put me on hold for so long?
Why do you tell me to hold on when I'm already holding on?
Why can't we all just get along?
CHORUS
Why does fast food take so long to get it?
Why do people fart in public and say someone else did it?
Why do you ask my opinion but get mad when I give it?
And why ask for wisdom if you ignore the Holy Spirit?
Now check the lyrics cause this might apply to you.
Dude, why's brushing your teeth just like so hard for you?
Now if your breath stank, don't be be saying "Hi, how are you?"
If I give you a breath mint, don't be like, "No, thank you."
Get a clue, now tell me why your clothes is fake, too.
Why do you say it's FUBU when ya know it's PUBU?
And why do you say yes when you really mean no?
Why do you tell me to stop when you really mean go?
Why's the bad choice the one choice I always chose?
But in spite of how I acted, why did God love me so
Much the He would just pay the price of my soul?
But I don't need to ask why. I already know.
daddy why did u do that to mommy?
you said if we hit somebody we're suppose to say sorry
but you never say sorry daddy you yell now
why did you tell that man that mommy just fell down
mommy didnt fall down daddy's lying
mommy why are you always sad and always crying?
daddy why are you always mad you always fighting?
why do you always say im bad even when im trying?
no i dont want to go to my room
i dont want to go to bed now i want to be with you
i dont want to daddy it's to early
i didnt mean it daddy im sorry im sorry
i promise i'll never say that again
im sorry daddy please dont hit me again
please i'll be a good boy now
dont put me in the room please dont turn the lights out
(what did i do?
im sorry daddy that's all i want to say to you)
CHORUS
where?where were you? just when i needed you
daddy where were you
where?where were you?just when i needed you
mommy where were you
(golden child)
what up pops i aint got to tell you my heart is as hard
as a rock things have changed since i was the age six
yet some situations stay the same like the way
i conceal my pain growing up i'd swear
my name was every profane thing a man could say
i used to make excuses like you werent the one that hit her
it was just the liquor in ya my dad
the perfect example of hatred and why am i so bitter?
ya told me real men dont cry that was a lie
you dont relize what goes on inside of my mind
as time passed my heart ran cold my emotions froze
lost track of the bruises and the broken bones
just once wanted to hear that you loved me
wrap your arms around me and hug me yeah right
remember the first time i couldnt feel the pain
it was when grandma came and took me to church
where God releived the hurt and he knows it took work
but i forgave you he could save you but the question in
will you let him in it would be such a blessing
to see you as a changed man and holdin my mothers hand
CHORUS

Verse One:
Yo it's the K to the J, J to the five
five to the two, it's time to get live
party people in the house if you're feeling all right
throw your hands in the air wave them side to side
you can dip dip dive you can socialize
you can lime to the lemon, you can lemon to the lime
but nine years ago a friend of mine
hit me up just to ask the time
I'm looking at my watch it said quarter to twelve
he shook his head, he had something to tell
he said "Check it my brother now it's plain to see
I'm going to make it plain just as plain can be"
'cause you her and you there
but a life without Christ ain't going nowhere
and I was just like you I was jamming on it
then he sang a little song a little something like this hit it...
Chorus:
We rock the mic in a different way
just two turntables and a fresh DJ
party people in the house are you feeling OK
then let the record play all night all day (repeat)
Verse Two:
Stop a second I need to hear more
he said "I came through the door and I said it before"
but you didn't listen to me this first time
so open your eyes and let me open your mind
'cause the blind lead the blind can't you see that my brother
it's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
you going under and you blind to the facts
it ain't where you from and it ain't where you at
it ain't the radio, Cazals or Kangol hat
now you be illing and it's like that
your life's wack just broken pieces
you got Adidas but you ain't got Jesus
and a hotel, a motel or a holiday inn
now it don't mean nothing 'cause your life keeps fronting
and you still lost in sin
I said a hotel, a motel, or a holiday inn
now it don't mean nothing 'cause your life keeps fronting
and you still lost in sin help me say it like...
Chorus
"what's up, na i'm just chillen,
how you doin ya,
ya i'll be over later, alright, i love you bye"
yo check it, yo what's up girl yo what's the deal
and yo i can't front and act like i don't know just how you feel
cuz i've been there and i've done that
it seems like no matter what you do your feelin trapped, now it's a fact
now it's a serious choice that you choosing to sleep with him
cuz you jsut afraid that your gonna lose him
you can't see the consequences of what your doing
he gonna leave you ruined
it's your body he just using
and i don't wanna hear what he done for you
how he kisses and hugs on you
and how he's like "i got love for you"
a man gotta do what a man gotta do
but what a man outta do's respect you
God's got a better plan for you a btter man for you
but it's up to you to pick from the choices that i'm handing you
don't let him play with you cuz it ain't too late for you
cuz if he really loves you girl he'll just wait for you
I'm gonna wait for you,
i'll save myself for you
i'm gonna wait for you
i'll save myself for you
yo yo what's up dude yo what's the deal
i hear you braggin' how your baggin' chicks
oh yeah you keep it real
you got game you mack now you the player
sit down shut up and listen to what i gots to tell ya
you jsut a real man when your having sex right?
i used to have a dog who had sex every night
that didn't make my dog a real man now did it?
you ain't a real man cuz you hit it and
you bounced when you finished now
see to me it takes a real man to wait to get it
i waited till i was married son and i never regret it
it ain't a dirty word to be a virgin
God's got a better plan for you but you need to start learning
i kow your burnin' see i ain't trying to make you mad
you gotta understand why all these kids ain't got no dad
what i lay down is common sense
is everybody wants sex but they don't want the consequence
I'm gonna wait for you
i'll save myself for you
i'm gonna wait for you
i'll save myself for you
I'm gonna wait for you
i'll save myself for you
i'm gonna wait for you
i'll save myself for you(babay)
"hello, ya ya listen we're not ready
ya we need to wait we gotta do this right,
ya alright, i love you i'll talk to you tomorrow"
Here's a few things that I like now
Making beats on my mpc
picking up an underground CD or mix tape
Diggin through record crates
Goldin stay looking for the perfect break to sample and truncate
raw raps on a raw track
Copping mad timberlands like the mall that you shop at
Combat fatigues a notebook full of rhyme schemes that I keep in my backpack
Anthem of a life rockin the mic
Spending a little time showing love to my wife
The way Christ loved us sacrificed his life
Bore them stripes restoring the life
Doing shows on the stage seeing souls getting saved
Hearing this track being played in your escalade
As you roll through the hood sitting on blades
Cats gonna bug when they hear they mom say
:chorus:
I like the hands up keep ya hands up
Party people in the front I need ya hands up
And when ya hands up leave your hands up
See there's a lot of thing I like but only one thing I love
I like the hands up keep ya hands up
Party people in the front I need ya hands up
And when ya hands up leave your hands up
See there's a lot of thing I like but only one thing I love
I like Saturdays and just waking up late
I like things right away cuz I don't like to wait
I like tasty cakes, and Philly cheese steaks
And the Tampa bay Bucs and Miami hurricanes (whuuuut...)
Now I like my shoes clean with a fresh pair of jeans
And some rice and some beans and a box of krispy kremes
I like Mt. Dew cuz I like the caffeine
And the pistons and wolverines is my sports teams
I like the Double-Double at the In and Out Burger
but I don't like McDonalds they always mess up my order
I like my man Spongebob and Homestar Runner
I like flip flops and tank tops in the summer
I like to make goofy faces when I smile for the camera
I like to rock old school hip hop and mc hammer
I like Xbox clean socks I like Canada
But there's one thing I want and this is what I'm asking ya
Repeat Chorus
I love the way that God just takes a man
And then changes him gives him strength to stand
I love when the world says I ain't got a chance
See I'm loving that you're the one that tells me I can
I love the fact that you just loved me first
You erased my past and freed me from the curse
And even at the times when I just act my worse
I love that ya take me back that I don't deserve
I love every time I open your word
That I see in every line every chapter and verse
That your love made you die and that love that occurred
It left you crucified cuz your love for the world
And I love how you just love me so much
I love how you provide just more than enough
And with the rhyme that I say now that I bust
See I like a lot of things but you're the one I love
Repeat Chorus
Chorus:
Your love is my sunshine Jesus everywhere that I go
Your love is my sunshine Jesus this is all that I know
Your love is my sunshine Jesus everywhere that I go
Your love is my sunshine Jesus this is all that I know
Verse 1:
Hey yo I€™m gazing at the skyline watching sun shine
let my mind unwind and rewinding to the time when my eyes was blind
see the pride I hid behind it just killed my mind
but left me thinking I was fine but really I couldn€™t see the signs
when all that time your son is shining on me
it€™s right above me it€™s bright and lovely but I just won€™t see
I€™m running from the son€™s beams scared of what I don€™t see
just while the son be blazing on me because he knows me
and I can feel the sun shining on my skin
I run and hide inside close the blinds to keep the son from shining in
so much time I spend running from the son light€™s that€™s peeking in
I€™m weakening and I probably will never see again
but just then it€™s a ray of light just blazing bright
the first time in my life just when my dark night just came to life
see I€™m just the type with all my might to pick a fight
but for some reason I€™m standing here soaking up this light
Chorus:
Your love is my sunshine Jesus everywhere that I go
Your love is my sunshine Jesus this is all that I know
Your love is my sunshine Jesus everywhere that I go
Your love is my sunshine Jesus this is all that I know
Verse 2:
The thing about the light of the son is right when he comes
even if you right in the slums you€™ll still see the light that he€™s brung
aint a thing existing on this earth without the son€™s light
most might ignore the son whenever they live they life
others want the son to shine but they don€™t want it bright
they choose a darker light so they can live they life with darker nights
but that€™s a harder life I€™d rather just embrace the light
and blaze the mic cause even the deadest person I seen come to life
you see the son be shining on my skin and warms me from deep within
I can€™t keep it in I got this peace within
the son of man I made my peace with Him
that€™s why you see me grin and every single day you gone see me seeking him
I got€™s to speak again about the son who€™s freeing men
I€™m taking in the son just like the oxygen I€™m breathing in
and my deepest scars the son light be healing them
I think it€™s just going to be a sonny day now once again
Ashley Rocks!
CHORUS:
Some people gotta learn the hard way
I guess I'm the kinda guy who has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway Father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for Your help
VERSE 1 (KJ-52):
The warning signs like falres in the night
I proceed with my greed indeed but now in spite
of the fire I knows to burn I never learn
as the world turns on its axis I'm like Saul
on the road to Damascus I'm like broken fragments
of broken glasses can't see the facts is
from the fiction God's voice now speaking
but i never listened got me wishing I never
took the hard way 'cause every day is a hard day
turn my heart away God be feeling like
He's far away Jesus take the scars away
'cause life be mad hard today
trying hard not to sway
selfish way finally catching up to me
but if I fall you's catching me
I know You's catching me
CHORUS
VERSE TWO:
Been high and low but the stories told
my eyes can show that I walked the hard ways road
when it's my time to go I'll stand toe to toe
to one who grips my soul whose never letting go
life's so cold but so many times
I shed so many tears from so many eyes spoke so many
lies
I was the maker of my own demise
my own face I couldn't recognize woke up one day
and realized my compromised lifestyle
since the birth canal to a juvenile yo this kid was wild
sometimes it hurts to smile but Jesus made it worth my
while
keeping it versatilelike I was writing in Spanish backwards
in a cursive style so meanwhile to the mean time
I leave the blind to lead the blind
so with every step I climb
leave the past way far behind out of sight and out of mind
Hello how ya doing? Can we keep it moving?
it's the KJ-52 along with the John Reuben
and we steady cooling mic checking one two and
the choice is yours now cause this is what we doing
you can get with this cause this for us is life
but if you get with this understand this is Christ otherwise you other guys get with that
Mr.John Reuben can you tell me where the parties at?
allright thanks my friend from the sons of "In"
we move to the rythm without wondering
Yahweh comes first all is under him
take a dope emcee and then double him
and you got two, ok that's me and you
Mr.John Ru with the KJ-52
doing what it takes to light up the ear hole
a lot of energy absolutely no soul..
You can get with that or you can get with this
You can get with that or you can get with this
You can get with that or you can get with this
You can get with this cause this is what it is
we got phat beats but what the fact's be
is that without Christ then the track be empty
so understand simply that we ain't just emcee's
we simply just state that "Christ has changed me"
look at us strangely yo it's all the same B
we don't care now peep the message we send thee
so real swiftly when the enemy tempts me
I'm like "do da dippity' c'mon...
I'm going this and that I write that and this
but if that's not life well then it must be dismissed
no time for negative got to be positive
clear and sincere I think we state the obvious or is it?
cause I found this to be true
so many times I do what I hate to do
brought back to the fact I'm in need of you
but then again what else is really new?
Engine engine number 9
party peoples feeling fine
if your life goes off the track
pick it up pick it up pick it up!
ya back on the scene crispy and clean
you can get with that plus the gat and cream
or you can get with this and let Christ reign supreme
but now the choice is still yours can you see what I mean?
you see we seek like in abundance
all right Yahweh came through and then gave me substance
overflowing we let it spill on the mic
embrace the truth and then we keep it focused right
despite obstacles can't let it sway me
even though at times my vision get hazy
I say we stay on the path that leads to life
no matter how narrow we can't lose sight..
First off tell me what's your name dude who are you
Man I'm you I'm KJ Five Number 2 man
How can that be man you aint me man
I'm 52 what are you KJ Five Three man?
Nah see I'm the rapper that yo u used to be
Before you sold out and started rapping so pathetically
I came from the past to battle me?
That's right because you forget what means to be an emcee
Oh I get it cause I'm popular now
And I got a dove award I forgot the underground
You think I forgot how to throw it down
And I can't hold my own that's what your saying to me now?
Yeah that's right and what I'm saying is
You're a biter you write your songs for youth group kids
Dear slim a gimmick everybody's knowing this
Oh you think so we can find out about this
You can say what you want yep
But I really don't care I really don't care
First of all fools like you get devoured
You aint wack you like wack to the 7th power
I'm a go ahead and expose all ya gimmicks
And leave ya blown out like a tire with a hole in it
You don't' get it battling me that's risky
Your last CD was wack but it made a nice Frisbee
You can't be expect now not to get exposed
When your style's such a copy I could pick it up at Kinkos
How you gonna run up in the place
When your eyebrows look like they exploded off your face
Knowing your rock the pair of same socks for 3 days
Dude is so white he probably bleeds mayonnaise
I'm sorry don't get all mad
Cause your teeth look like you just brush em with a brillo pad
Don't be sad that's not what I mean
I mean it smells like an animal went and died between ya teeth but..
I'm all up in your atmosphere
and I'm blowing out your mind like sticking dynamite in your ear
Yeah don't even try to step
When the rhymes are so tight you could use them for spandex
you should know when to quit
cause I aint feeling you like I chopped off my fingertips
see I aint even bluffing
I could take you without saying ....
how you gonna get all up on it
When your forehead so big I could write my next song on it
I didn't mean it dog gone it
I meant the junk is so big I could pull out a paintbrush and draw on it
Don't be looking at me strange
When your hair is so greasy I think it needs an oil change
Fo sheezy I'm the real 52
Welcome to the city of wackness population only you
You gonna have to shut your mouth
So you can finally see what the kj is all about
Yeah no doubt I'll be the first to admit it
That since I started now a days I rap a lot different
But c'mon man you got to be kidding
I cant stay the exact same way now be realistic
Music evolves that's being artistic
There's just one thing that stays consistent
Its just Jesus first in every single lyric
Hopefully that's apparent I care less if ya feel it
Label what I do as nothing more than gimmicks
In fact label me a sell out in fact I agree with it
Sold out to Christ sold out my life
Plus I sold out the show I did last night
And if I sold out to doing God's plan
Chorus:
Rise up lift ya eyes up
get up stand up throw ya hands up and..
Verse 1:
sick of all the lies sick of the compromise
sick of the way we live our lives and run and hide
sick of the times we turn our head close our eyes
can you hear the cries when you gonna rise?
stand up! my people in the place where you at?
stand up! God€™s people who aint ashamed where you at?
stand up! if you say you know his name where you at?
stand up! cause you gotta proclaim what you have
rise up! no more hiding no time for crying
you can€™t be the light of the world when you aint shining
I€™m straight rhyming so you€™ll be straight recognizing
you aint trying you just sitting there straight whining
while the whole world around you just straight dying
so keep in mind Jesus Lion of Zion
gave his life so you and I wouldn€™t be frying
so quit hiding it€™s time for you to start rising
Chorus:
Rise up lift your eyes up
get up stand up throw your hands up and
Verse 3:
To all my real live people in the spot now
rise up let me see what you got now
we blowing holes in ya speakers when we rock now
we keep it hot now every time we rock towns
that€™s how we got down every time we drop sounds
so you know you better listen when I talk now
cause we never stop now or let ya guard down
cause if you got the answer why keep it locked down?
(Trevor)
How many people want to see this rock now
go bump it in your trunk rolling with the top down
hold on cause I'm letting the missile drop now
no hostages cause we're taking your whole block down
yo we hot but not tropic
in the mall might catch me in a Hot Topic
we can talk if somebody wanna knock it
cause we coming at dangerous speeds ya can't stop it
I cant say that I know just what you're dealing with
But it's so plain that it shows just what your feelings is
But I suppose that your pain that you're living with
It comes and goes and fills your mind now with hopelessness
But I know someone who comes with life to give
And His love is the reason why my life can live
Just one touch is all you're needing 'Cause He died to give you so much but you can't see 'cause you struggle with
So many things up in your life you're frustrated with
Nothing seems to be going right I know you're hating it
But let me tell you see I've been through what you experienced
And I've come to see the source of who my healing is
If it's divorce or anything else making it hard to live
I gotta tell you you can make it just through all of this
'Cause everywhere you go He's there for you it's obvious
Don't be scared no more cause this is why I'm saying this
CHORUS
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
I remember times when I couldn't find my peace of mind
When I felt I couldn't see now cuz I was blind
All the time You was there and then You freed my eyes
Made me realize that You was all I need in life
From the deepest oceans all the way up to the skies
There is no place were I could go and no place to hide
That your hands wouldnt show the way and be my guide
You're never far away You'll always be my peace in life
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
So right now just with anything you face in life
Understand you can always find strength in Christ
God has a plan just for every single part of your lives
That might be hard to understand in your troubled times
But anywere you go He's there with arms open wide
He cares for you don't you know there's no need to cry
I know this road is hard c'mon it's gonna be alright
He loves you so much it's time that you realize....
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
Back in the day I used to rock the MC Hammer pants
jump in the middle of the party bust the running man
doing the Roger Rabbit at the middle school dance
got my man next to the bleachers now that's where we stand
walk up to the girl like "now will you dance with me?"
she's like "well listen you'll never ever have a chance with me
I got a boyfriend and he's at like six foot three
250 pounds and he could beat you up in his sleep
and I'm like "well really what's that got to do with me?"
I don't see him around here so why don't you just come with me
I'll get you some fruit punch maybe some cookies
I got the new Vanilla Ice tape how can you not love me?
she's like "well first off all your pants is straight ugly
you can't dance and your personality just bug's me
so back up off me cause I really got's to let you know
that my boyfriend's right over there ohh I got to go
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
I grew up in Inglewood a little brown boy
had straight hair and I rocked corduroy
walked down Venice way in my own way
wasn't very popular with the girls in 5th grade
they used to call me nerd
that was even if they used to call me at all
across the school hall I put my head and thought
what could I do to pursue and fought
in my own mind was a struggle of sorts
school was a game and I was off court
on the bench and the coach wouldn't let me off once
I sat in the corner of the yard like a dunce
and all I ever wanted was the girl to have lunch
maybe in the cafeteria with some punch
but it didn't happen I didn't have heart
cause I knew how it would end from the start and then I asked...
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
when I was growing up it was hard to be happy
kids knock the books out my hand and make fun of my acne (exactly)
give me a wedgie while they throw spitballs at me
and stuff me in my own locker and laugh at me
(ahhhh ha..) oh you think that's real funny
cause I'm 5 foot with huge feet and I dress crummy
and all the school bullies want to just take my lunch money
c'mon man I only got a dollar twenty
ya know ya life is just really sad man
when you play dodge ball your picked as the last man
and ya run as fast as ya can just like a mad man
cause the football team wants to throw you in the trash can
so really will this madness ever end
really will the nerd ever get revenge?
will this girl call me back at around ten?
will you go out w/ me? I just want to be friends
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
Now days I'm a little older plus a little bolder
but it seems like I just can't get over
you ever have a day where nothing goes right
well that just seems to be the story of my whole entire life
so anybody out there know what I mean?
to feel like your third string on a football team?
and ya never ever gonna reach any of your dreams?
and your only hope is making onion rings at burger king
but now a days a lot of things done changed
since Christ came into my life now and just rearranged
the way I look at myself son it aint the same
I drive in a whole 'nother lane going against the grain
I know it might just seem a little strange
the fact remains I changed when I called on his name
so call me a nerd call me lame it don't matter to me
see all I need to know is that my wife will dance with me
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...

so he could go sit in the puddle.
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ five two brown hair eyes of blue
200 lbs. clocking in at six foot two
You can catch me watching Veggie Tales sipping Mountain Dew
Spending too much money at the mall and Gadzooks
Now i'm rolling throught McDonald's I'm getting a number two
But I know they gonna act rude and mess up my food
Here's your cheeseburger and plus you coke too
Ha ha thanks a lot but where's my fries at fool?
I tried to grow a mullet way back in high school
I was like "Now everybody gonna think that I'm cool
And the girls are gonna say I'm cuter than you Cruise"
Bit instead they laugh at me like the Sponge Bob dude
Looking back I don't know just how I made it through
Cause nowadays kids be like "KJ rocks dued"
My name is KJ...everybody stay tuned
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ five two now ya'll be messing up my name
It's not fifty two it don't stand for King James
I wated too long now so let me explain
John 6:9 let me break it down plain
Five loaves two fishes is what a boy gave
So I took what I had and I just did the same
Put all I had in His hands and I just walked away
I said Lord it's all Yours You can have the whole thing
I know what I bring it might sound a little strange
But I'm not in it just for this money or the fame
And I'm still just the same ain't nothing ever changed
I still driver a mini van and naw I ain't ashamed
Sipping Lipton Iced Tea dipping switching lanes
Like an insane soccer mom about to hit the game
Yelling at lame drivers saying "Get out of the way"
My name is Kh ya'll know the name
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
My name is KJ AKA KJ five two
That's what I scream from my bedroom
Seems like lately now this is all they do
Sayin things like to each other like
"Shut up!" and "I hate you!"
But now every word cuts me deep
Like knives that stab you
I bury my head under the covers 'cause I have to
Drown out just hearin' my mother now tell my dad to
"Get out the house!"
I wonder when I get the bad news
I hate it when they scream loud
And plus when they shout too

Lyrics - Integrity (With Grits)
Talking:
Yo, yo what's up yo?
Yo, what's up man?
Yo, y'all are GRITS right?-yeah man
Yo, I-I want to get into this gospel rap thing man.
Aw, sh man it's a task
Yo I was just wonderin' if I could give you this rhyme I wrote
Go ahead man, I aint hatin'. Go ahead yo
It's all about me, me, and did I mention me
I'm the dopest rapper in the gospel rap industry
I kill more white rappers than snipers
I'm the one they call to get the crowd hyper
Yo, all y'all cats need to retire
With your played out raps, I'm the roughest and toughest
I love the spotlight yo you better make sure this mike sounds right
or I'll charge you double on this honorarium
Don't ask me to speak words of encouragement cause yo I got the dopest skills
Don't ask me to do what God wills,
It's all about keepin' it real and makin' sure I get me a fat type of record deal
Give the crowd something they can feel
Toss God a bone every once in a while, have a Coke and a smile
Yo, I been doin' this a long while, man, like two months even
So what if I look like a heathen, I can still kill the ruckus demon
I got all the girls fiendin' , I put emcee back into emceeing
Yo God and hip-hop versus the god of hip-hop I believe in
I'm acheivin' what I want. These skills is what I flaunt
Yo you caint get me so tell me what you got.
Man, I live and die for the god of hip-hop, I mean God and hip-hop
So y'all fools need to stop
CHORUS
This is a message to you rap infants,
showin' faces in the places where we blessin' at
Tryin' to battle, got respect for your skills but skill alone dont get you props
It takes integrity, when rappin' for Christ on microphones
Who's this Babylon emcee with the audacity, approaching me
as if I got a stamp of approval for his fallacy
I hear you talkin' 'bout yourself
and claim you keep it real but I aint feelin' it
I'm feelin' to your flesh but only kill the little light so dimly shinin'
I question why you rhymin',
Is ministry in mind and does God direct your timin'?
or do you even put it in to put it out? What you about?
Do you use Him as a jewel well then your crown
and you clout your time will tell
In life He must prevail, a living example is needed to rap it well
You see the ministry begins theminute you step up in from the stage
Is your character the essence of the life you hear in the pages of His very Word
Cause if not face His rage.
You aint understandin' He demands a higher standard
Stayin' true to hip-hop caint be found in His Commandments
Take notice because the atmosphere is about to get tense
wanna find relatin' truth to some gone take it offense
young cats, heed the message of this elder emcee
who got responsibility to let you know what kind of bilities to key
but it seems that some of y'all aint caught the vision as we
CHORUS
(someone saying) Tired of those CD's that don't leave you fufilled
Come on down to KJ-52! Thats right! Its Funky! Well dont take our word for it! Listen to our sponser the Kleesder!
Thats right it slices it dices it makes these .....(cant understand what he is saying)Ha Ha ha Ha!
But dont take our word for it, ask these satisfied customers!
I used to be a cross eyed bowlegged one-armed safety patrolman but since listening to KJ-52 ive since elevated myself to crossing guard. Thank You KJ!
Hey no problem thats what were here for. Well come on down to KJ-52. If you act now well throw in a mullenator! Thats right, itll give yourself a mull haircut before you even know what happened!So Come on down. Act now while supplies are limited.
KJ-52 is not responsible for animal attacks based on the mull haircut thank you
Do you remember the time, when the purpose and the rhyme, was to see the souls affected.
But now its to man, every purpose and every plan, to whom the praise is directed.
We live out dream, make the crowd scream, but turn to yell at the sound man,
Since where and when did we stop checking the word and begin to start checking the sound scan.
Remember when shows were for souls and rhymes were for flows.
Now we spend one minute to pray, if even that for each day, but spend 2 hours checkin our clothes.
what happened to the passion we was having that was sparked in the begining.
but we're quick to cry, point the speck in your eye, but even quicker to justify our sinning.
we're wuick to diss and raise the fist to justify the things that we do.
but for every finger we point at them, just remember freind there's 4 more pointin back at you.
how and when did it all begin as ministry turned to industry.
cause did jesus need a manager, record label, ditributor, or even a boooking agency.
when troubles came, did he call upon the name, or turn to a lawyer to handle it.
why do we ask God last, ignore the past, but be the first to ask our management.
cause next to him, our glory's dim and truely pales in comparison.
why does every move we choose seem to revolve around
we can get our groove on, but yet worry about comin on to strong.
yet we water it down so much there aint even nothing left to chew on.
souls become sales, and sales become a salary
give the crowd something to feel, whine about keepin it real,
but dont try to keep it to reality.
yet when its all over and the mic is hung and its all said and done.
it wont matter how many battles i won, but only the souls that i have won.
on the other side, will my silly pride cause me to hold my head up proud .
If I wont have beef with you then, tell me freind, why should I have a beef wth you now.
At the end of my life when I held that mic did I really truelly deserve it.
Forget if i was phat, Forget if i was whack,
I want to hear well done my good and faithful servant.
Our Father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven

My arms are sliced up but I'm not embarrassed
It's the only way I get attention now from my parents
It's not like they really take the time to be caring
They just use me to watch the baby when they run they errands
My name is ___ I got a friend named Karen
She gave me your CD with the track for Eminem
You wrote a song called #1 fan I listened and
I wanted to know if you can help me like you was helping them
She had something even harder to be mentioning
Like every single day I struggle just with fitting in
Plus the boys won't give me no attention and
I get teased and made fun of by all my friends and then
See I'm feeling like I'm wishing now that I could end
My life cuz I'm sick and tired of all the time I spend
Trying to figure out how I could be worth anything
Can u help me KJ from your fan
I'm writing this letter
Cause I have to tell ya
I need some help from you
I'm writing this letter
I hope that you get it
I need some help from you
I live with my mom ever since my parents split
And At home I spend my time on the Internet
Looking at porn Im addicted and I'm sick of it
Myspace dot com is mostly where I'm getting it
On top of that there's videos that I can watch
And I really wanna quit but its like I can't stop
See I'm scared that I'm just gonna get caught
And when I see a girl all I think is dirty thoughts
And its not that I don't know that it's really wrong
But its right there for me every time I'm logging on
I got all your CD's I really like your songs
Well I downloaded em but anyway moving on
My screen name is KJ-52 is the bomb
I want to do a website KJ rock's dot com
I really some help cuz I can't tell my Mom
Oh by the way my real name is ___
I'm writing this letter
Cause I have to tell ya
I need some help from you
I'm writing this letter
I hope that you get it
I need some help from you
I took the time just to write you
We play you every Wednesday at my youth group
I love your music and we all think that you's cool
But I been struggling ever since I moved to a new school
See everybody thinks that I'm the perfect Christian girl
I had a hard time trying to believe that God is real
I've been on mission trips and camps the whole deal
My dad had cancer tho I prayed that God would heal
But he died anyway so it's hard to feel
Like he cares about me so was it God's will
To take away my dad I really got a raw deal
Sometimes I just want to swallow all my mom's pills
When I pray I really doubt it
I've lost my way or maybe I've never found it
I been smoking and drinking nobody knows about it
By the way my name is ___ don't mispronounce it...
If I could write to every kid that's out there
Every kid that's hurting feels like nobody cares
I would tell them that God can wipe away tear
And he's right near and I would say it quite clear
Your here for a reason you're not a mistake
You are a special creation that God himself made
To the victims of abuse to every girl that was raped
You can live you can be free from your pain
And find strength and no longer be ashamed
You can find peace and hope In Jesus name
You aint gotta live with this hurt every day
Christ came to give you life in a much better way
To every kid right now that's full of hate
And bitterness I'd tell em just to give it all away
To the one that came to take all the blame
You are the first and the last
Strength that I have, if my world was to crash
You are the same from today to the past
Plain that your love don't change and I'm glad
You remain is the way I could have
New life and you took the blame that I had
An over-night change came with a flash
I know it might seem kinda strange if you ask
But how can I describe who you are?
What could I write? Where would I start?
Who would define the one who made the stars?
And made them shine and still lives in my heart?
No words would explain who you are.
How could I ever just name who you are?
Even heaven can't contain who you are!
Is the only way I can say who you are?
Chorus
It's God! Truly God!
Can you see? Can you hear?
Can you touch? Can you feel?
It's God! Truly God!
I can't explain any other way
But it's God.
So amazing to me
You spoke a word, everything changes to be
Seven days, you made the sun raise in the trees
And let it blaze, made the sun raise in the east
I gaze on all you made and I see
And I'm ashamed of sinful ways, and its me
And I'm amazed that you came straight, just for me
It's kinda strange, but that's the way that you be
You are the reason I live
You're all I'm needing to live
You are the mean, and I live
With so much peace, I see, and you give
You right here, it's quite clear that you live
You're the air that I breathe and you live
It's not that clear, what I'm speaking
It's just that...
All that I can say is...
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
So at the end of the day
When everything you made just fades into gray
Only one thing remains, it's the same
The fact that your love, it refuses to change
So plain, I'm amazed by your ways
'Cause you, so great, but you came and you gave
Your whole life, and you died, straight to the grave
Three days into life, came and you raised
And I can still call on your name
And even when I fall, you remain, it's the same
You are my all in all, that I claim
I used to be kinda like Paul, but I changed
How could I ever be ashamed?
Its obvious that you live and you reign
Supreme as the very reason I'm saved

La la la la la la la la Dear slim Part 2
La la la la la la la la yo
Dear slim i wrote you but you aint callen
Its been a couple years now since i wrote that song en
Alot has changed now for you and I
I had no clue that I would write a song for you and
It would change some lives
Kids with tears in the eyes
They now come up to me
Showing love to me
And telling me that they look up to me
The effects to me well
Were really kinda strange to see
I only wanted to share with you now
Jesus done for me
But theres a whole nother side to things now
That I come to see
Its a huge influence you got upon on the industry
But enough of me
Cause its not what i came to say to you
Not a day goes by while i take time to pray for you
Sorry now for what your mom and dad
What they did to you
But i can relate with you
Cause well see dude iv been there too
I know theres a lot of pain and hurt
Now that youv been through
But never forget theres a real love that god gave to you
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern
Yo dear slim i wrote you and you still aint callen
Backstage at the VMAs someone gave you my song and
I kinda wonderen what you thought man
Or when that guy walked up to you
And talked to you and put it in your hands
Maybe you never listen to it or
Maybe you lost it
Or maybe you heard it and you just got mad
And then you tossed it
Did he hits you back
Thats the question i always get
Im like well god for bide you might even of liked it
I dont know but
Congratulations on your movie yo and
Heard your last record well ova ten million sold
But theres one thing that gots me thinkin bro
Dose the grammy mean anything if its just got a carcass sole
In case you didnt know theres a lovin that will never go away
You say your goin to hell but it dont have to be that way
See the bottom line of what im tryin to say is
God puts back the broken peaces
That are were thrown away
If even everyone you know
Just up and goes away
He'll still love you till the very day
That your of that old and gray
To bad alot of Christians all they do is hate on you
Instead of dropen it there knees
And taken time to pray for you
Its ovious that you really love your doughtier dude
For that i gota tell you well i really got respect for you
So here it is dear slim chapter part 2
Another cat tring to make it just like you
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la to whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la still to whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la To whom it may concern
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la Its still to whom it may concern
Yo dear slim did you hear the junk that im goin through
Kinds sending me hate mail and telling me
How im fighting you
Telling me how they gonna beat me up and just kill me too
But alot of people they just seem to get my song confused
See what i say to you i know it might even sound funny
But i never came at you just to paint you has the enemy
It wasn't about haten or spunten some controversy
It wasn't about blamen you or tryn to make some money na
I dont claim to know everything that youv experienced
Man i dont even know if even ever be hearen this
But i said it once and i still hold it is
Is that a life with out Christ is still a life that is never fixed
Ill tell you this even if its a hard pill to swallow
Like it or not slim your gonna always be a roll model
Do you know these kids were the ones they always follow
What we say and how we live gives them a better tomorrow
Iv had my share of some plus man iv been rejected
Iv been chewed up spit out and cussed disrespected
But if i die to day and never sale another record
Jesus gave me more than i ever could of been expected
I know life is hectic it can leave you blowin away
But check it bro cause we just gonna die someday
And on that note well theres only one thing still left to say
Theres still one love and one god and only one way
La la la la la la la la

Chorus:
If you here to get live, go ahead and do that
If you here to just ride, go ahead and do that
But if you here to just vibe, go ahead and do that
Then get your hands up high, go ahead and do that
Eh you I came in the spot saw the crowd rock
Heard the sound pop and then I just thought
Now this must be the place cause this crowd be hot
And this must be the case of what the crowd's got
That the love of God's grace is what we just drop
I gotta whole lot to say and you know we don't stop
I dash past ya to blast faster
While I keep ya legs moving like a stair master
I'm feeling great gotta reason to just celebrate
Christ rose on the third now set the record straight
Reigning supreme as the champion heavyweight
Ruler of the universe the name above every name
And if you here to get live no need to ashamed
You got a reason to get down if ya life's changed
Quite strange for me to see you standing here
So come along in here stick ya hand right here
CHORUS
So really tell me what's you here to do
Cause if you ain't here to move man I really aint just hearing you
We make it clear to you cause this is what we came to do
I'm blazing through with something real just to say to you
I'm staying true to putting Christ on display for you
Cause love for you is just the reason that He came for you
And let you know that He'll just take the blame for you
That's how we came at you just to make ya move
BRIDGE:
Everybody from front to back
Now get ya hands up in the air and go ahead and do that
Everybody from side to side
Now stick ya hands in the sky if ya really wanna ride (repeat)
Y'all heads probably thinking that I'm too jiggy
But what I think is that y'all heads is just too picky
So I don't care if ya crews with me
Cause I'll be first to try something that you be thinking is too risky
Go ahead and talk smack go ahead and diss me
I'm a keep going just where I feel God's lead me
And I'm a do that now even if you ain't with me
So y'all ready cool than just roll with me
CHORUS
Dear Slim I never wrote you or been callin
My name ain't Stan son, nah we've never met and
My name's KJ let me begin by introducing now
Myself to you and these very reasons I'll be writin
Why I took the time, the who what where and why and
The purpose of my verse, the reasons I'm reciting
What I hope your learnin from the truth I pray your finding
And every word I'm writin down upon the dotted lines and
See I heard ya first album, was called Infinite
I shook my head cause nowadays you soundin different
What drove ya take your whole persona and be flippin it now
What makes a man totally change see I ain't getting it
See was you sick of getting booed when you was rippin it
And sick of never havin dough and you your wanted to put an end to it
What good's all kinds of dough
Plus all kinds of flow
To gain a world of fans but suffer the loss of soul
CHORUS
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la
To whom it may concern x4
Dear Slim I never wrote you or been calling
This is my 2nd letter cause see son I gots a real problem
It's that to you that I'm always catching these comparisons
And after shows I got these people coming up to me sayin
You sound like Slim Shady son you sound like Eminem
And I be like now really man, do I gots to go through this again
See I used to get mad and sick of people saying that
Till at this one show this one day I met this one cat
He told me how he used to listen to you but now he listens to me
Had your LP but threw it out and bought my CD
I'm like for real he's like yeah he said my music made a difference
It got him away from all your words and images
I gotta mention this, now what about the effects you have on kids
You ever stop to think about the millions you influence
Or is it just irrelevent is it true life you telling it
Or just the way for some record companies sellin it
The only think we got in common is our melanin
Or lack of it but anyway now this is what I'm sayin
It's for you that I'm on my knees now daily prayin
Prayin that God opens your eyes now to what I'm relayin
Now I'm praying that it's your heart that will soon be changing
Prayin one day that you'll be calling upon His name and
But anyway I'm signin off now don't keep me waitin
This is KJ another cat just trying to make it
CHORUS
Dear Slim I heard about the stuff you's going through
See I could relate to you cause son I'm about as old as you
See we both know what it's like just to be growing up to be in a neighborhood
When you's the only one and only kid that's white
Or to get booed when you on the mic just because your skin is light
It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life
But really tell me what you do
You just push on with hopes on that someday you'll put on your crew
I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin you
And even though its a song you'll probably never listen to
See what I send to you is this
Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed
Hope you remember this now a few sentences
About a living God who loves you and plus forgives
And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid
It's hard to live in a world as crazy as this one is
And even though now it really might sound redundant
God's got mad love for you up in a mad abundance
You'll sell a couple mill I'll probably sell a couple hundred
There's more to life then selling records and just getting blunted
But anyway that's really all I gots to say
Just another word from an emcee now around the way
Maybe some day we meet each other in some way
Till then one love one God one way
CHORUS
Uncle KJ gotta talk to ya'll kids
Listen up quick cause the way some ya'll live
Must have lost ya mind and just flipped ya lid
Now ladies I know what he be telling you
I know cause back in the day I used to do it too
Talking about aww girl you know I love you
And if love me too then let me sleep wiht you ooh
He's a fool a lying scheming dude
I'm a tell ya straight girl now cut him loose
Why ain't no guy that cute
If he won't respect for you and won't wait for you
See you need a real man that loves God too
And will take a stand even if it's hard to
And I know that you can now it's worth it for you
Check the program this is what i'm telling you
Ooohh ya'll better check yo self,
Nah ya'll need to check yo self
Un uh ya better check yo self, no
Ya'll better just respect yo self
Where my fellas at where my fellas at?
Now some of ya'll need to check where ya head is at
I know in the locker room what they be talling cats
Don't buy into that now when they selling that
Virgin ain't a dirty word don't be ashamed of that
See in reality people be respecting that
Stand up for yourself tell em just chill with that
And even if they diss turn around and bless em back
Let em talk smack and leave it at that
Cause everybody ain't doin it now just learn that facts
Don't never let somebody ever hold ya back
Nobody except God should ever tell ya how to act
It's God saying that cause peeps won't tell ya that
But it's the truth and I'll never back down from that
So if ya can ya handle that and like the sound of that
Then people halla back on the track if ya down with that
Ladies and gentlemen ya need to stop playing
Stop running around always missionary dating
You think that the one you're loving you gonna be saving
But end up with problems from the choice ya making
Now some ya'll girls ya'll need to start caring
And think twice about all these clothes that ya wearing
I know it might be nice to have all the guys staring
But take advice respect yourself as a woman
We all want love and we all want attention
But that ain't the way to get it
You understand what I'm saying?
With the baby gap outfit on that ya wearing
Sneaking out the house trying to hide from ya parents
See God said save yourself for ya marriage
And it was for a reason don't misunderstand it
Sex is a beautiful gift don't mishandle it
June 6th1975
In Miami Florida was the place I first arrived
My parents smiled as I opened my blues eyes
Cuz they was newly married and I was their first child
My pop was from Jersey my mom was from Miami
They met in the bed stuy Brooklyn NYC
At Art College and yes they was hippies
So I guess that makes me child of the sixties
But anyways we didn't stay we moved to plant city
Then to Lakeland then to Miami then to Ybor city
Living in the hood where things are never ever pretty
The only white kid smack dab in the inner city
My playground is a parking lot plus a back ally
At times I would wake up in the dark with no electricity
On top of that we were struggling cause we got no money
And going through this inside it's killing me
On and on on and on
You love goes on
On and on on and on
I was about 6 when all this was goin on
Things began to change everything I knew was up and gone
They separated on the weekends I would see my mom
Still living with my pops in my hood but not for too long
When I was nine they divorced and I was moving on
To the suburbs with my mom cause courts said it was wrong
For me to be living in the hood with my dad so I'm up and gone
Mom remarried and had a baby we living in my grandmas home
We living in a neighborhood that's middle class
But I felt poor because of some things I didn't have
Time passed we moved out but still thing aint right
I'm slipping fast at home all I do is fight and yell
My grades start to crash plus I ran away from home twice
And almost got shot by the cops one single night
I started high school and party all the time
But little did I know what was gonna happen to my life
On and on on and on
You love goes on
On and on on and on
At 15 had a talk with my cousin got me thinking
Was there more to life than girls partying and drinking
I picked up his bible and started reading revelations
For some reason I was crying when I reach the ending
Now God was working on me and this was the beginning
The first time in a long while that I started praying I had to move again and again and say goodbye to everyone/
My dad and my friends was once again all up and gone
Brand new school by myself sitting all alone
Feeling like a fool every single day I â'm coming home
But I would listen every night in my bedroom to Gospel radio preach about Christ and just then soon
I gave my life to him everything became new
I was born again I've never been the same dude
Ya took my sin and my guilt and let them blame you
And on and on though the years you always came through
On and on on and on
Your love goes on
On and on on and on
It was November and the year was 1995
I still remember the very first date with my wife
And I was on my own doing shows part time
Twenty years old just trying to make something of my life
I moved away home when I was only eighteen
Broke as a joke making music trying to chase a dream
And everybody seems to think I'm crazy except for me
But God was there every time to supply my needs
I went on staff at a church in the inner city
Writing rhymes in my spare time for my CD
I mailed my demo to a label named Gotee
And out of nowhere Todd Collins up and called me
He said he heard my junk and plus he wanted to sign me
My heart jumped and plus I want to cry and scream
But all I did was hung up the phone quietly and thinked God how he always provided for me
On and on on and on
Your Love goes on
On and on on and on
Yeah uh uh
So my stress keeps running through my mind now.
Fell into a mess that I that wish that I could climb out.
I guess I hide it so nobody'll find out,
The way everyone thinks that everything is fine now.
At home things are messed up with mom and dad,
And at school all my friends stab me in the back.
No one is real anymore; I hate the way they act.
There's so many things that I wish I had.
So God if your there do u understand?
Don't you care about anything that's happenin?
It's not fair to put me through all this junk again.
You see that I'm scared, so help me if you can.
So please speak loud and clear â'cause I'm lystinin.
I need to know that you're real â'cause I'm strugglin.
You need to show that your here â'cause I'm stumblin.
Show me that you care this is why I'm saying this
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it show (you got to let it show)
It was right then, when everything began to change.
I started looking at these things in a different way.
I saw life through God's eyes and it wasn't the same,
And it was right at the time I called on your name.
Then I saw all these lies that was thrown away.
I recognized that I need you and on that day,
I cried out and seek you, that was when you came.
Now that I see you, I've been through a major change.
And I believe that you're real â'cause its so plain.
I finally feel I can make it through anything.
It don't matter what they speak or if they hate.
They can't keep me down no more â'cause I seen your face.
And for now or never will I be the same
â'Cause I'm staying strong and I won't bend this way.
Now that I know that you're real, it's gonna be ok.
Yeah, you're speaking in my ear and this is what you say
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it show (you got to let it show)
See there's a war that's going on outside,
And you can try to ignore and just run and hide.
But everyday more and more people die.
See the battles for souls, we're on the front lines
So many souls, just too scared to fight
They're too worried about what people thinking of their life.
How can you fight if you don't lay down your pride?
And how will anyone see if you won't shine your light?
So many of your friends walking around blind
You got the source that can open up their eyes.
It's y'all's choice what you do with your lives,
But I'm gonna go to war â'cause I made up my mind.
Jesus gave us life when he went and died.
So the least that I could do is give him all of mine.
So how many of y'all are ready to fight by my side?
â'Cause this is what he's saying right now here tonight.
Come on!
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it show (you got to let it show)

Chorus
Who am I? The one that gets laced tight
The one you wear, hit a flare on the same night
That you hit an uprock, I'm the one in the closet next to one sock
The one you rock on the cardboard box
Walking to the one block
You know the one spot peeps get the one shot
Got one thought on the task at hand
You can ask your man I'm part of master plan
Only b-boys and b-girls, they understand
Whatever you say now, ya wish is my command
Name it, I'll be the footwork to your head spin
Follow your lead, go anyplace that ya legs bend
At ya cipher session I'm ya best friend
I got a twin, we's a pair clocking size 10
Head's a shell, three stripes on side
Laces large, on your feets I reside
Keep me clean, keep me laced, and I'll be allright
I be the first element up in here tonight
Who am I? See, I'm the one that you be gripping tight
The one that makes you sound real good when you be flipping right
And I'm the one causing fights up at the open mic
I'll make ya sound real stupid if you don't hold me right
I got emcees fiending for me all day and night
I could care less if ya on me if ya black or white
See all that matters when you rock me don't be coming wack and
Don't hold me to the speaker or I'ma feedback and
I'm used for rapping, every now and the used for passng
Back and forth in ya crew in a freestyle fashion
I get rocked, ripped, flipped on and blasted,
I'm spoke on, choke on, hit on, spit on, and mastered
I've outlasted, been used to tell truth and lies
Used to kill the youth and used to open up they eyes
I come in all kinds of sizes, heard all kinds of voices
Sometimes I'm plugged in, you know sometimes I'm cordless
Keep me clear, keep me close, and I'll be allright
See I'm the second element up in here tonight
Who am I? I got two heads and they always spinning
I got two arms that the deejays, they use for ripping
Plus a fader in my middle that they always gripping
I'm completed with the two records used for mixing
They pulling tricks and cutting up, ya know they scratching
Remixing beat, juggling just whie they mix and match and
All kinds of beats till it's the heat that I know ya catching
And I'm the one that started hip-hop in case ya asking
I got knobs and faders in a mad abundance
I come in many names, but most time it's 1200
When I get played now, you know that you truly love it
Now clean the needle on my arm or I'll be sounding busted
I'm disregarded, treated like I ain't legitimate
I'm making music, you don't see me as an instrument
And it takes true skills to get on me and be ripping it
Nobody sees my contribution, they ain't getting it
You know there's one thing that really now makes me mad
You used to blow me off but now I'm the latest fad
I'm the thing that every rock band they got's to have
Now people say my name and they be like "Now what is that?"
Keep me running, keep me spinning, and I'll be allright
I'll be the third element up in here tonight
Who am I? Se I'm hiding in your backpack
You tear my tip off, replace it with a fat cap
I'm 12 oz. of steel concealed in a knapsack
Ya pull me out, ya shake me up, and then attack that
Wall or train while ya steady throwing up your name
Leaving these end to end burners, ya getting ghetto fame
Now me and my brothers, ya know we come in many colors
Steady beautifying the walls of a ghetto culture
Toys and suckers now you know they getting dissed quick
I'm going all city all up in ya district
Ya hold me with control so I never drip thick
I'm tagging up ya spot, nobody misses it
See I'm the brush to a modern day type DiVinci
I'm the new urban renewal for ya block's committee
I've spoken words of the youth of an inner city
I'm vandalism but to others I'll be called graffiti
Keep me shaking, keep me spraying, and I'll be allright
I be the fourth element up in here tonight
Who am I? See I'm the God that you don't know about
I gave you breath up in your lungs that you can't go without
See you know the facts of My story you been told about
I'm always reaching out for you but you just keep on holding out
I know your doubts, I know you're thinking that I ain't real
See I know you forgot about Me when you got ya last record deal
See I know the way you feel, I walked the earth just like you
And like a child up in his Father's arms, I long to hide you
Many times I invite you while standing here right besides you
But you walk right past, you ignore My hands here given to guide you
I gave you gifts, I gave you talents that you just used to gain your wealth
But you took my gifts and talents only for you, just to glorify yourself
I was beaten and bruised, crushed now for your iniquity
Stripped naked, I was spit upon just for you to live eternally
Yet you blaspheme Me, you make moves without asking Me
Then you blame Me for your troubles and calamaties, you kidding me?
Keep Me first, keep Me in your life, and it's gonna be allright
See I'm Jesus Christ, the Fifth Element up in here tonight
Just do it
Just dop it do it do it
Just do it rock to it
Put ya hands up high and move it
Sometimes i feel weird throw verbal spears like brittany
That literally go from here to houstanb just like whitney
Battle me ya kiddin me you a funny cat
I bet 50 cents for eminems ya wont get a nickelback
The track im rippin aint really that hard
See jesus gives destiny to every child of God
Im battle scarred kind of raw but what did youu think?
No matter race religion or the color or the creed.
If ya black brown pink or in or out if sync
Or hang w/ the beastie boys just on the backstreet
You can live in linkin park no matter just to me
See the prince of peace is guranteed to give ya what you need.
One day these peepe were going past me
Walking w/ a limp eating bizkits they hair was all shaggy
I said whats all yall name is the? that im asking
I'm Michael, that celine, thats dion thats Feldick
Thats rickey thats martin thats tony and thats Braxton
Dru is on the hill just chillin and relaxing.
Alicia lost her keys and shes really kind of sad and
I said u2 no doubt i know how that be happening
But i need all the Dixie chicks to gather in
And let me explain just the reason why im rapping and
So i told mariah he carried my sin and died for me
My faith is in christ who on hill called calvary
Gave his life for mine so genuine i try to be
If the world tries to stop me i rage against the machine
So i turn ya radio up and head to the spot
Get loose like a slipknot whatch the kid rock.
My uncle was eating korn on a cracker all alone
It was 98 Deagrees put he was out counting crows
And it was just then when my papa saw a roach
He dropped his Red hot chili peppers and then he ran home
And just went and called up John the Mayor on the phone
Its a 311 3 doors down now dont be slow
But he was like wait a second hold up a minute bro.
Before i Usher over theirs something you should know
Jesus is the firm rock not a Rolling Stone
W/ him heaven not Nirvanah is where youll go
I try to show and let ya know but ya Third eye is blind
So need to open them up real wide
Even if u have to blink 182 times
Its soo obvious that it cant hide
TLC tender loving care he'll provide
I got 5 minutes 5 minutes left
Five minutes till the soldiers till they bring me to my death
So very close just to breathe my last breath
As I'm here in the garden I felt the heave of my chest
My disciples are asleep and they rest
And they can't seem to see just what be coming next
Through the trees the soldiers speed from the west
Getting closer and closer for me to arrest
I see blood drops like beads in my sweat
They run down like a crown right down on my head
I'm laid on the ground face down like I'm dead
Crying out to you Father let me pass what's ahead
They pound the nails in my hands the hands and my legs
As the time runs outs then I hang and I bled
They are coming down I understand what you said
So with 4 minutes left this is now what I did saying..
Not my will but let your will be done
I got 3 minutes 3 minutes left
3 minutes till the soldiers bring me to my death
I can hear them loud and clear closer then I guessed
While Judas is coming down with the crowd and the rest
They don't even understand right now what this is
They don't know who I am what I have just to give
For ever man every girl every child every kid
See my death has been planned so many can come to live
See I know that I got just a few minutes then
Then they'll come and they'll grab me its the beginning of the end
See I wont make a sound see I won't even defend
Myself to the crowd now I'll go just with them
Cuz I came for this now I came for they sin
I came to lay my life down then I'll take it up again
2 minutes I'll be bound and I'll face what's ahead
With the words from my mouth came out then I said
I got 1 minute 1 minute left
1 minute till the soldiers gone bring me to my death
I can hear all there voices its like a 100 feet ahead
I can see all the torches now I know what is next
I'll be beat and tortured then struck on my head
Forced to carry the cross and I'll be lead
Up a hill to be killed then I'm left now for dead
But now it's not my will Father I want yours now instead
And so I pray won't you please let this cup pass from me
See I want what you want that's all I want for me
Now I was just betrayed for some fast money
But the ones that you gave they could never snatch from me
Now my life that I gave see I gave it all away
And I'll be buried in a grave but I'll come back Sunday
I was born in a cave but I'll come back one day
Let me busta a rhyme tell a story like Slick Rick
and put a sermon like eric in ya ear like a qtip
now it€™s common sense that Ja Rules
but I€™m a tell you about Jesus who€™s the leader of the new school
you thinking you€™s cool you emcees is lost boys
got no cash money you juvenile like some hot boys
I drop noise when I let the sound blast
and tell Big Boy Andre about Jesus Christ the outcast
here€™s the deal I feel it€™s now time to B Real
Christ died on Calvary not on Cypress Hill
it don€™t matter even if your slim or if your shady
JayHova reigns supreme but his name aint€™ Jay z
and it€™s mos def that the Mobb was deep
that hung the Son of Man who died just to bring back the lost sheep
on all streets all peeps naughty by nature
whether you biggie or small you can know the living Savior now..
(OLD SCHOOL)
Let me take you back to the old school
and tell you about the Fresh Prince of Peace now who just cold rules
we keep it nice and smooth Rakim like Eric B
and run €œD€? emcees to show our biz like AG
see I€™m down with two live crews full of fat boys
and even though we young emcees now we can€™t avoid
the one who everlasts reigns as the lamb slain
just for you and I Jesus went to the House of Pain
you can be the Black Sheep but Christ reigns supreme
drink ya Ice T with some vanilla Ice Cream
don€™t matter to me be the Public Enemy
he€™ll still make your sin disappear like he€™s Whodini
in this biz I put his name on the Markie
that€™s why I€™m calling out these names when I emcee
(DIRTY SOUTH)
check it now you can bounce with me
no limit to my God like Master P
what audacity it€™s quite ludacris actually
to think you could trick your daddy
God the father sees everything naturally
you can€™t fool him I€™m like woah nelly
he€™ll put bone thugs back in harmony
it aint hard to see just what he€™s done for me
I knew a guy named Bubba who€™d spark the place
he was little like Wayne and had a scarface
but now this cat done changed his ways
talking how he€™s saved from amazing grace
understand that Christ had to €œC€? murder
so you and I when we die live forever
east south or old school flavor
47 emcees is how I hit ya
Featuring: Yankee Man
I'm like some piranha in some bloody water
I'm coming nicely with the blah-blah
giving praise to the eternal Jah-Jah
eternal Father flowing in this living water
your rhymes ca-ca talking all ya rah-rah
mic's is sparking I'm tight like arteries that was hardened
I beg your pardon the 52 is strictly parting
emcees like Im Moses
no matter what your coast is
no matter what your flow is
no matter who's the dopest
without Christ you're hopeless
I shake dust from opposers
get your open like roses
burning microphone holders
assembling all the soldiers
open your current orders
Iт��m attacking tape recorders while I'm holding down this fortress

it's hard to be a star when your skills ain't up to par
it's hard to push a Lex when you don't even own a car
it's hard to win the batten when you can't win this war
it's hard to be a man when you don't know who you are
I stay on point just like some harpoons
develop thoughts in verbal dark rooms taking on these cartoons
ya minds spinning like some typhoons
these martial artists flip scripts to leave ya open like some gaping wounds
call me 52 this predator
my microphone's like Excalibur attacking y'all with metaphors
so my competitors can now check ya exit doors
choice is yours Jesus reigns like when it pours
the Lord God Most High superior
these haters lay up in this cut like bacteria
I'm never fearing ya I see through exteriors
I keep on scoping out these moves from ulterior
stay devoted still checking all ya motives
thoughts unloaded though so many times I'm misquoted
so now it's noted these origins of residence
so my adversaries can now make they exodus
'cause it's my nemesis escorted off the premises
there ain't no guessing this when I proceed to finish this
52 the chemicist head seeking lyricist
standing with my locust fist now I got ya choking this
but your broker diss got lost with ya hopelessness
but from genesis I'll still stand opposing this
smack it up, if they last name is skills ya first name should be lack of
it's time to act up or call in your back up
these fools make me crack up
fronting is what you have a knack of
you talk your junk but then you come around to give me mad love
whatever, I gots no time for you
so go ahead and spend time with your crab crew
Yo this is what happened:
Yo I woke up late it was like 10 in the mornin'
I was still half asleep and sleepy eyed, still yawnin'
I checked my voice mail to see who'd been callin'
I turned on my computer
Check my email logged on it
Junk mail, junk mail dog-gone-it
Everybody just tryin to sell me they product
But there was one email that just caught my optic
It said sucidal, took the mouse and clicked on it
She said " Dear KJ you don't know who I am,
You probably don't care cause im just another fan.
I doubt you ever read this, now but if ya can
Sometimes I slash my wrists and even cut my hands
And I feel all alone like nobody understands
And I'm gonna end it tonight I got the whole thing planned
Pop pills, leave a note on my night stand
Signed sincerely, Your Number 1 fan
[Chorus:]
Can someone now please help me
Will someone now just please help me
Can someone now please help me
Will someone now just please help me
[Verse 2:]
My heart is poundin as I start to type back
Why do you feel this way do you mind if I ask?
Whats the source and the cause of the pain that you have
How did you get this way, is it something from the past
God cares about you, I hope you understand that
Please don't end your life, I beg ya please write back
I finished typin', I sent the email quite fast
I bowed my head and prayed with all the strength that I had
She said "Man KJ I didn't even know you would write me.
Let me explain why noone could ever like me
It all started when my father used to strike me
Raped and confused every since 1990
He's gone now but I can't put it all behind me
I tried to run away but my pain would always find me
Is God really the one who can help me (yes He is)
Signed tonight your Number 1 Fan
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Dear number one fan I gotta lot to tell you
But with the email there is only so much I can help you
See I know a Father who could never ever fail you
He'll give you a love when nobody ever cared to
I know you might feel like everybody hates you
And you feel like you got noone you can relate to
But death feels like the best place to escape to
But thats a lie that Satan, he just wants to tell you
I'm sorry that you were abused, your father raped you
But you gotta get some help cause nobody can make you
I know its hard to face but God will give you the strength to
I know you gots a lot of things you gotta work through
But with this help I know that you can break through
I seen it myself all the times He came through
Tell me what you think of what I sent you
I'll be prayin', Sincerely KJ-52
[Chorus]
[Verse 4:]
Yo, I'd be pretending if I said this story had a happy endin
But after that night I never heard from her again
That night I tossed and turned lyin on my bed en
Cryin and prayin with these thoughts runnin through my head en
Did she do it, take her life, or wind up dead en
Or did she not choose it, just listened to what I said en
Maybe she never got the last one I was sendin
Was it my fault was it something I shoulda mentioned
Every mornin I would just check my email
Checkin for any detail, hopin an prayin that shes well
My emails came back sayin that they'd failed
No such address for Number1Fan@hotmail
Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months en
Time would pass and I just heard nuthin
No letter no email no not even just somethin
What happened to my Number 1 fan I'm still wonderin
[Chorus]
How long you gonna sleep
How long you gonna act like you gonna act
Be how you wanna be
So when you gonna see
You need to get the facts but you wanna laugh
At what I'm gonna speak
You steady sinking deep
Plus ya sinking fast why you running back
Man why you wanna leave
So whats it gonna be
You need to get with that but your missed the fact
That what I'm gonna speak
This aint all a dream
You can try to dash but you gonna have
To face your reality
So this is what I seen
One day it's gonna crash then you'll understand
Everything I'm gonna mean
Wake up wake up
Wake up wake why are you falling asleep
So what you wanna do
You turn off the lights then you run and hide
And act like you never knew
Man you aint gotta clue
But you think you're right every single time you
Do what you wanna do
So when you gonna choose
When you gonna try to find your peace of mind
It's right there in front of you
It's time to make a move
You can still deny but the time's running out
Very very soon
So what I gotta prove
Why you walking blind when the signs
Is so obviously coming thru
Man this is now for you
You can try to lie and just still deny
What if I spoke w/ complete honest-ness
What if told you that I've broken some promises
I dealt with pride ever since a little kid
I've comprised and I've doubted like Thomas did
I can't hide though he sees the way I live
Every single time I told every little fib
I can't deny cause he's already knowing this
But to my wife I regret the time that I've missed
I've been on the road when I really should've been home
Been on the phone and took calls I should've left alone
I shouldn't have done that see I want you to know
I should've been with you then out trying to get dough
I still got issues that's hard to let go
Still got some bitter situations with a few folks
Still got a temper that I work hard to control
I gotta remember your standard that's the goal
Can I be honest?
Can I be real?
Would they still just to how I feel?
But if I was honest ?
If I was real?
Would they even care about how I feel?
I've wanted to get back at those who tried to doubt me
I've wanted to hit back every time they tried to clown me
I've said some things about those that tried to down me
I've been too hard on some people that's been around me
I'm a workaholic addicted to the game
Plus sometimes I've been addicted to the fame
I look deep inside things that I'm ashamed
Still the little kid conflicted still in pain
I'm so grateful when I think though how you found me
I used to be hateful of everything that's around me
I'm so thankful of the way that you still surround me
So shameful yet you love me still confounds me
See I've put myself first
I've gone days sometimes without reading your word
I've acted like a huge jerk
Yet you still love me that's the thing that I've learned
Sometimes I dumb down to sell a few records
Didn't do it though just to get a little cheddar
But looking back I could've made some of my songs better
Hindsight is 20/20 so I'm like whatever
But I regret some of my broken relationships
No matter how hard I've tried to just make em fit
And I don't blame myself and I'm not blaming them
But too many up in my life have just came and went
I'm not perfect I serve a God who is
I serve a God who lives who says that I'm his kid
When I shoot for the mark but I shoot and miss
I serve a God who gives a new start and he forgives
And takes every thing I ever did
Then he throws it in the sea of forgetfulness
See I'm just being honest I hope your getting this
Just one emcee and one dj
We gonna break it on down in the old school way
So just rock with it just rock with it
So just rock with it the most defenedly
Cmon and rock with it
Once upon a time 2000 years ago
Well there once a guy that some yall know
He would rock the mic everywhere he'd go
They came from far and wide just to hear him flow
With the crowd packed tight every single show
And they just got hype whenever he came on
They would put they hands high and just sing along
Every word every line every single song
And everywhere he'd go and everywhere he'd be
They wanted to see how he rocked on the M-I-C
And everytime when he came to rock the party
He would roll with twelve guys in his posse
He was the true old schooler microphone ruler
Fresh with the lyrics bringing it right to ya
So if ya ain't heard we came just to school ya
Just one emcee and one dj
We gonna break it on down in the old school way
So just rock with it just rock with it
So just rock with it the most defenedly
Cmon and rock with it
Ow the sucka emcees put him to the test
Used to call him names and said you ain't fresh
And they tried to throw down and they tried to mess
And plus they even tried to put him to death
See they tried and they tried just to stop this cat
He was crucified and died but it's a fact
That he was gonna rise but he came back
And that's word to the wise
Cause it be like that
And then he rose to the sky said he'll be right back
So ya better check the rhyme and be on track
If you're short or tall or skinny or fat
Or red or yellow or white or black
If you the dont on the mic or you're just plain wack
Without Christ in your life man you ain't got that
And that's the reason we had to bust this rap
One emcee on the mic and the dj on the scratch
Just one emcee and one dj
We gonna break it on down in the old school way
So just rock with it just rock with it
So just rock with it the most defenedly
Cmon and rock with it
Now I just told you what you must do
And I tried to showed you the only way that's true
But in the end my friend now it's up to you
See there's two choices left just for you to choose
So you need to get down with the freshest crew
Cuz they been running it now since the old school
So peace I'm out is what I say to you
And I pass it down to my man just do what you do
Just one emcee and one dj
We gonna break it on down in the old school way
So just rock with it just rock with it
Cmon and rock with it
So just rock with it the most defenedly
I cant say that I know just what you're dealing with
But it's so plain that it shows just what your feelings is
But I suppose that your pain that you're living with
It comes and goes and fills your mind now with hopelessness
But I know someone who comes with life to give
And His love is the reason why my life can live
Just one touch is all you're needing
'Cause He died to give you so much but you can't see 'cause you
Struggle with
So many things up in your life you're frustrated with
Nothing seems to be going right I know you're hating it
But let me tell you see I've been through what you experienced
And I've come to see the source of who my healing is
If it's divorce or anything else making it hard to live
I gotta tell you you can make it just through all of this
'Cause everywhere you go He's there for you it's obvious
Don't be scared no more cause this is why I'm saying this
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
I remember times when I couldn't find my peace of mind
When I felt I couldn't see now cuz I was blind
All the time You was there and then You freed my eyes
Made me realize that You was all I need in life
From the deepest oceans all the way up to the skies
There is no place were I could go and no place to hide
That your hands wouldnt show the way and be my guide
You're never far away You'll always be my peace in life
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
So right now just with anything you face in life
Understand you can always find strength in Christ
God has a plan just for every single part of your lives
That might be hard to understand in your troubled times
But anywere you go He's there with arms open wide
He cares for you don't you know there's no need to cry
I know this road is hard c'mon it's gonna be alright
He loves you so much it's time that you realize....
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
You're right here, you're right here, yeah
Everywhere I go I know you're not far away
What love could take a slap to the face
And a jab to the face and get stabbed in the waist
As they laugh and they came as they passed by the place
Where he hung and was beaten till the blood he could taste
What kind of love had him treated this way
Just bleeding away while he was bleeding in pain
Well to seek and to save was the reason he came
And the one love for you was the reason he gave (one love)
That love was the reason he raised
Himself from the grave and it's the reason he reigns
Time will pass and seasons will change
But the love that he has never leaves or just fades
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
What god made the sun and moon
Sky and the trees and caused them to bloom
Who was alive when he came from the tomb
And will come back light up the sky like high noon
What God can make it all brand new
Just for you in the times when it all falls through
When you can't find your way who you gonna call to
The one God the only god now that's who (one God)
There aint no other God that's true
There aint nothing that my God can't do
You aint heard what i said now dude
Well his name is jesus now i thought yall knew
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
There is only one way you can be born again
There's one way you can be free from sin
I proclaim one way came from the son of man
If you don't agree then you can take it up with him
One way might be hard to comprehend
But one day ever single knee is gonna bend
And just proclaim right now who he is
Just the one and only way to eternally live (one way)
So a choice this day is what i give
You can walk away from everything Jesus did
But it won't change what the facts is
That there is only one way through Christ that's it
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
One love, one God
One way
See i hold one mic to proclaim one way from one drop
So that you would understand that it only took one time on one day on one cross
And only one Christ came just to pay one cost
And that one life is why i'm saved when i was just lost
Just stop shhhh listen to what my advice is
In your crisis you need to understand who Christ is
The priceless timeless sacrifice who's life is the reason why my life is
Who's body hung lifeless but today is the reason why mine lives
Who he is is not just your cuss word
Who he is not just your homeboy on your t-shirt
Who he is i'll summarize in 3 words
Way truth life and i'll say it till all have heard
Now it's plain that Jesus walks but i know that he also runs
I know because he ran to me with his arms wide opened up
There was nowhere i could hide now from his love
And yet i know enough that one thing ain't gonna change
That at the end of the day when it all fades away
No matter what they claim no matter what they say
You are the first and the last
Strength that I have, if my world was to crash
You are the same from today to the past
Plain that your love don't change and I'm glad
You remain is the way I could have
New life and you took the blame that I had
An over-night change came with a flash
I know it might seem kinda strange if you ask
But how can I describe who you are?
What could I write? Where would I start?
Who would define the one who made the stars?
And made them shine and still lives in my heart?
No words would explain who you are.
How could I ever just name who you are?
Even heaven can't contain who you are!
Is the only way I can say who you are?
It's God! Truly God!
Can you see? Can you hear?
Can you touch? Can you feel?
It's God! Truly God!
I can't explain any other way
But it's God.
So amazing to me
You spoke a word, everything changes to be
Seven days, you made the sun raise in the trees
And let it blaze, made the sun raise in the east
I gaze on all you made and I see
And I'm ashamed of sinful ways, and its me
And I'm amazed that you came straight, just for me
It's kinda strange, but that's the way that you be
You are the reason I live
You're all I'm needing to live
You are the mean, and I live
With so much peace, I see, and you give
You right here, it's quite clear that you live
You're the air that I breathe and you live
It's not that clear, what I'm speaking
It's just that...
All that I can say is...
So at the end of the day
When everything you made just fades into gray
Only one thing remains, it's the same
The fact that your love, it refuses to change
So plain, I'm amazed by your ways
'Cause you, so great, but you came and you gave
Your whole life, and you died, straight to the grave
Three days into life, came and you raised
And I can still call on your name
And even when I fall, you remain, it's the same
You are my all in all, that I claim
I used to be kinda like Paul, but I changed
How could I ever be ashamed?
Its obvious that you live and you reign
Supreme as the very reason I'm saved
See what I mean is, what I mean is that you're...
Just God
Well hello everybody
Welcome to MDA, that's Mountain Dew Anonymous
For those that have abuse problems with Mountain Dew
We have a new member today, his name's KJ-52
KJ introduce yourself
My name is KJ-52 and I'm addicted to Mountain Dew
Tell the people a little about what happened
What am I gonna do, I'm addicted to Mountain Dew
When I drink just one or two
People say "Boy what's wrong with you man"
Start acting like a fool, from all the caffeine and sugar too
I'm fiending like I ain't got a clue
And this is what I'm gonna say to you
Uhh...Gimme that Mountain Dew
Uhh...Gimme that Mountain Dew
Uhh...Gimme that Mountain Dew
I ain't playing with you better gimme that Mountain Dew
Well, KJ I know that must be tough to talk about,
But part of recovery is talking about it starts
Explain how this started
I started when i was on tour
I had to stay awak so I went to the store
Loaded up and I buth like four,
I just kept drinking more and more
When all of a sudden something happened to me
Just for some reason I couldn't fall asleep
Mabe it was all the sugar and the caffeine
Not sure but I started to scream...
Well, KJ I know that was painful to talk about
But you CAN overcome it
You just have to admit that you have a problem.
I got a problem I jsut can't help it
Somebody help I think I'm addicted
This is for the ladies, all the ladies all around the world
This is for the ladies, this is dedicated now to every single girl
This is for the ladies
Alright, I don't care I wanna say this on the mic
Right now right here in the place it's ladies night
I know I might just sound crazy right
There's some things thats goin down and its time to make it right
The world will tell you you gotta be a certain type, look a certain way,
And just be a certain size
Do what they say and it'll just be "alright"
Girl the only thing you gotta be doin is servin Christ
6 years ago I was blessed with a wife
She was sweet and lovely and beautiful and nice
But the one thing that just made her my type
Was the fact that Christ was #1 up in her life
So take my advice
Forget them Hollywood stars, and them Hollywood hair
And them Hollywood cars
Next time you thinkin' that you ain't up to par
Remember God made you beautiful just the way you are
Sick of BET, sick of MTV,
I'm sick of the sex that they always used to selling me
I'm sick of the messed up images they showin me
Im sick and tired of the messes that they say to me
That women are nothing more than sexual property
It's time we come back to treatin women properly
So what I gotta say, I'll say it real loudly
We oughta be treatin' all women like royalty
Only God should be speakin what you gotta be
Only God can give you the love you gonna need
Ladies, if a guy won't treat you as you ought to be
Tell him goodbye, show him the door, and where to leave
Don't be afraid just to tell a guy to wait for me
Don't be ashamed just to live your life in purity
See what I say, I just say it now with certainty
That God has so much more if you'll wait and see
On a final note I wanna dedicate this song
To all the women that just keep on seeking God
Just keep on movin and continue standin strong
Keep doin what you doin girl you got it goin on
And the single moms thats just barely holdin on
And you're workin two jobs tryin to make it on your own
No one is home cause the kid's dad is gone
God promises to never ever leave you alone
The final thing that I'll say then I'm gone
To the female singers tryin to get their pose on
Now I ain't tryin to be a hata but wrong is just wrong
Now Britney and J-Lo, please put some clothes on!
Whether yall are red-headed or just a blonde
Make sure that the Son is the one you focus on
And with that said, I'm gonna say "so long"
Yeah uh uh
So my stress keeps running through my mind now.
Fell into a mess that I that wish that I could climb out.
I guess I hide it so nobody'll find out,
The way everyone thinks that everything is fine now.
At home things are messed up with mom and dad,
And at school all my friends stab me in the back.
No one is real anymore; I hate the way they act.
There's so many things that I wish I had.
So God if your there do you understand?
Don't you care about anything that's happenin'?
It's not fair to put me through all this junk again.
You see that I'm scared, so help me if you can.
So please speak loud and clear 'cause I'm listenin'.
I need to know that you're real 'cause I'm strugglin'.
You need to show that your here 'cause I'm stumblin'.
Show me that you care this is why I'm saying this
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it show (you got to let it show)
It was right then, when everything began to change.
I started looking at these things in a different way.
I saw life through God's eyes and it wasn't the same,
And it was right at the time I called on your name.
Then I saw all these lies that was thrown my way.
I recognized that I need you and on that day,
I cried out and seek you, that was when you came.
Now that I see you, I've been through a major change.
And I believe that you're real 'cause its so plain.
I finally feel I can make it through anything.
It don't matter what they speak or if they hate .
They can't keep me down no more 'cause I seen your face.
And for now or never will I be the same
'Cause I'm a stand strong and I won't bend this way.
Now that I know that you're real, it's gonna be ok.
Yeah, you're speaking in my ear and this is what you say
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it show (you got to let it show)
See there's a war that's going on outside,
And you can try to ignore and just run and hide.
But everyday more and more people die.
See the battles for souls, we're on the front lines
So many souls, just too scared to fight
They're too worried about what people thinking of their life.
How can you fight if you don't lay down your pride?
And how will anyone see if you won't shine your light?
So many of your friends walking around blind
You got the source that can open up their eyes.
It's y'all's choice what you do with your lives,
But I'm gonna go to war 'cause I made up my mind.
Jesus gave us life when he went and died.
So the least that I could do is give him all of mine.
So how many of y'all are ready to fight by my side?
'Cause this is what he's saying right now here tonight.
Come on!
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?
Then let it go (you got to let it go)
Are you real?
I want to know (I want to know)
Are you real?

I feel so good
I feel so good
She was the girl that I dreamed I could go with
Her bangs were 3 feet high off her forehead
She had a blond perm freckles on her nose and
A long pink shirt that goes with her pro keds
I was the little nerd that girls never noticed
I'm pretty sure that my situation hopeless
My thought occurred when I chose and I wrote this
If you'll go out with me check the box yes
I passed the note then I waited for the moment
I saw her hold it flip it up and fold it
She passed it back and I got it opened
She checked yes and I was like Oh yeah!
Gave me her number and she told me to call her
And that night we like talked for an hr
Go to bed is what I heard from her father
She had to hang up so I told her saying..
You hang up first (uh uh I aint hanging up first)
I aint hanging up first you hang up first
You hang up first (uh uh I aint hanging up first)
I aint hanging up first you hang up first
Alright ok enuffs enuff
On the count of three we gone both hang up
It goes 3 2 two to the 1
You still there whats up...
Next day see I'm feeling like the man
So I catch up to her while she heading to her class
Walked up to her and I tried to hold her hand
But she turned and walked way I just don't understand
B ut then she did what only girls can
5 little words that will crush every man
Now on a note that was written in a pink pen
It said I just wanna be friends
I was like aight uh that's ok
Girl I didn't even like you anway
I was gonna break up with you anyday
Then she turned around and I ran down hallway
Later on I found out the reason that she dumped me
She kissed another dude when she was at the movies
Went home broke down cried all day
And to think we used to say..
I went home ripped her pictures out my yearbook
So that when I saw her I wouldn't have to tear up
Now thank God now my number never came up
I would call her then I would hang up
That's how it goes when ya get dumped
I told all my bros we just broke up
But years later this email shows up
Most of the time I would've been like so what
She hit me up on my myspace
Said she saw my cd and recognized my face
The whole thing now was really really quite strange
I had to think back about how much that I'd changed
It's cuz of Christ now that I came
So far in life and as I look back on that day
I realize how much grace that God gave
Now every day I see you, first period room 202
And I think your just so cool, pink shoes and your little hairdo
Do you see what I go through do you know that I like you
Guess what I’m gonna do, today I’m gonna ask you
Chorus
Will you go out with me? Check yes or no
Will you go out with me? It’s all I got to know
Well it’s the end of class, my heart is beating fast
Took what I wrote upon the note then I just fold it in half
Then I just quickly passed it to you in the back
Crossed my fingers, held my breath
And this is what I had to ask
Chorus
Lord, I’ll just make a promise, if she’ll just check yes
I’ll never ever ever ever ever cheat again on my math test
And just in case Lord, in case she checks no
Don’t let her think it was me God
Let her think it was that dude in the next row
Chorus
Hey girl I think your really neat, yeah
Hey girl I think your kind of sweet, yeah
Hey girl one thing before I go, yeah
Will you go out with me check yes or no, yeah?
Hey guy I think your really cool, yeah
Hey guy I think your kind of cute, yeah
Before I go I think your kind of fresh, yeah
Just to let you know I checked yes, yeah
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
I'll take ya back like Galaga and Atari
I was falling into junk like Pitfall Harry
My Life was game over thats when Christ saved me
So now its bonus round ever since then he changed me
It was scary how my life was run over like frogger
I was down to one life and didn't have another
But now i'm super like the mario brothers
Pulling stunts off like tony hawk pro skater
So here's the story ain't legend of Zelda
Its about Christ who was the space invader
Hit sin like arruken from street fighter
Came from heaven now just to die for ya fella
That's why he paid the price for ya sins
On top of that he just wants to run ya life like the sims
So this right here is my advice for ya friends
Just stop and think about ya life when it ends
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
No doubt see i was just down for the count
Knocked down and beat up like mike tyson's punch out
I flipped it up and went a whole different route
And now i lift it up cuz its what i'm all about
Then i throw it out like super tecmo bowl
So every word out of my mouth would just touch a soul
Even to the ones that bust guns like halo
Or to those thugs on the run like grand theft auto
I just gotta let them know
Just living life fast like grand turismo
May get ya rich just with a whole lotta dough
But in the end bro you just left out in the cold so
To the ones on the run like pac man
We came to slam it down like NBA jam
And leave the spot blown up like missle command
Cuz thats how we do when the mics in the hand
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
So how i lay it just down for my people
Underground like dig dug old scholl like coleco
Thats the sound that i bump just to reach y'all
Sin got a clutch on us the resident evil
I gotta teach y'all what he did on the cross
Three days later go raid the tomb like lara croft
But all you gonna find is that my Lord is gone
Took the sin of mine took death and just shook it off
I'm going off i can't help but start braggin
It just so happens he runs the game like john madden
They cut him up first like ninja gaiden
And beat him down worse than double dragon
If you saw the passion then you know what happened
He took a bashing just to take on man's sin
Thats me and you and even Charles Manson
So party people remember that when ya dancin'
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
We gonna hold it down anytime we throw it down.
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, keep it going now
Keep it going now, don't ever slow it down
Now she was only 17 when she ran away
She had to get away saying that she couldn’t stay
Packed a bag on Saturday and then she stole away
Into the night trying to get so far away
But where you gonna go girl? What you gonna do girl?
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you?
Chorus
Where you gonna go? (Where you gonna go?)
Where you going to (Where you going to?)
Where you gonna go, oh, oh
From the One that’s loving you (You can’t run from yourself no more)
Big city she a little girl just on the street
Looking for love up in the arms of every man she meets
And every other night she just cries herself asleep
Will she find relief will she ever find her peace
But where you gonna go girl
What you gonna do girl
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you
Chorus
It’s 2 am it’s just another day just once again
She want to go home but she don’t know just where it is
Sick of what she does sick of life and how she lives
On the run from the Father and the love He gives
Where you gonna go girl? What you gonna do girl?
You can’t run from yourself it catch up to you
Why you looking for someone to be loving you
When He’s right here right above you?
How long how long will you run girl?
You can’t run no place else no more
How long will you run girl?
You can’t run no place else no more
Here's a few things that I like now
Making beats on my mpc
Picking up an underground CD or mix tape
Diggin through record crates
Goldin stay looking for the perfect break to sample and truncate
Raw raps on a raw track
Copping mad timberlands like the mall that you shop at
Combat fatigues a notebook full of rhyme schemes that I keep in my backpack
Anthem of a life rockin the mic
Spending a little time showing love to my wife
The way Christ loved us sacrificed his life
Bore them stripes restoring the life
Doing shows on the stage seeing souls getting saved
Hearing this being played in your escalade
As you roll through the hood sitting on blades
Cats gonna bug when they hear they mom say
I like the hands up keep ya hands up
Party people in the front I need ya hands up
And when ya hands up leave your hands up
See there's a lot of thing I like but only one thing I love
I like the hands up keep ya hands up
Party people in the front I need ya hands up
And when ya hands up leave your hands up
See there's a lot of thing I like but only one thing I love
I like Saturdays and just waking up late
I like things right away cuz I don't like to wait
I like tasty cakes, and Philly cheese steaks
And the Tampa bay Bucs and Miami hurricanes (whuuuut...)
Now I like my shoes clean with a fresh pair of jeans
And some rice and some beans and a box of krispy kremes
I like Mt. Dew cuz I like the caffeine
And the pistons and wolverines is my sports teams
I like the Double-Double at the In and Out Burger
But I don't like McDonalds they always mess up my order
I like my man Spongebob and Homestar Runner
I like flip flops and tank tops in the summer
I like to make goofy faces when I smile for the camera
I like to rock old school hip hop and mc hammer
I like Xbox clean socks I like Canada
But there's one thing I want and this is what I'm asking ya
I love the way that God just takes a man
And then changes him gives him strength to stand
I love when the world says I ain't got a chance
See I'm loving that you're the one that tells me I can
I love the fact that you just loved me first
You erased my past and freed me from the curse
And even at the times when I just act my worse
I love that ya take me back that I don't deserve
I love every time I open your word
That I see in every line every chapter and verse
That your love made you die and that love that occurred
It left you crucified cuz your love for the world
And I love how you just love me so much
I love how you provide just more than enough
And with the rhyme that I say now that I bust
Ayyyyyyyyy! Ohhhhhhhh!! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AAAYYYYYY!! Ohhhhhhhh! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AYYYYY!! OHHHHH!! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AAAYYYYYY!! OHHHHHHHH! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. We doin the Tweezy Dance, Just doin the Tweezy Dance.
A yo, so every time right now that you thinking of us
I gotta dance thats kind of smooth like some cocoa butters
it’s gonna be even bigger than jonas brothers
I wont stop till my face is on some pillow covers
I’m a leave ya suckas now up straight shook
cause all you other little dances got ya lame hooks
and while you fronting right there w/ yo hard looks
im in a snuggie rocking out down to garth brooks
every single time that you try to rock
you looking awkward kind of like ya Michael Scott
in the office come off this it’s time to stop
I got a dance you can rock right upon ya block
just take ya hands man then ya swing em round
just like a fish out the water laying on the ground
just be careful right when ya swing em now
you swing the wrong way you’re friend you gonna lay him out
Powwww!! Ayyyyyyyyy! Ohhhhhhhh!! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AAAYYYYYY!! Ohhhhhhhh! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AYYYYY!! OHHHHH!! We doin the Tweezy Dance, We doin the Tweezy Dance. AAAYYYYYY!! OHHHHHHHH! We doin the Tweezy Dance, Just doin the Tweezy Dance.
rock it in ya car even if they kind of laugh
pull up to the light and you can watch em start starting back
but watch ya arm man when you might swing it fast
and swing all around and just smack it on the dash
this is the dance for those who don’t know how to act
you do it right every time that you’re looking wack
but watch ya dad he might throw out his back
but watch ya grandma in the car she might kind of crash
now put ya fingers down inside ya palm
swing em around w/ ya Miley Cyrus t-shirt on
act the very opposite of remaining calm
and just do it till you’re screamed at by ya mom
tell them people they can’t get w/ this
and let em know that you’re fresher than some breath mints
you look like carlton from the fresh prince
that’s the tweezy dance man what you guess kid
Woah oh take every part of me
Woah oh cause you got everything I need
Now Lord I aint gotta whole lot to give
But what I have it's all yours in every single bit
Cuz you're the source of my peace the reason that I live
You're what I'm living for and what I mean to say is this
Take my life right down to every little thing
It aint much but right in now every thing I bring
I give it all to you cuz I've found just when I think
About all you do I'll follow you in everything
I call on you man you always do just what you said
You make me new and take me through to a place of rest
And when these stressed out thoughts be running through my head
You just remind me how far I've come and where I been
And as I thinking about every single thing you did
And looking back upon where I was when I's a kid
All I can say is take every thing I gots to give
It's all yours Lord and all I say is this
Now Lord I've held back in my past
Held onto certain things I didn't want you to have
Tried to do it my own way and then watched it crash
Tried to make it through my day but never tried to ask
Where I'm supposed to go what I'm supposed to do
But yet you still right there just to bring me through
But now I've figured out exactly what I'm gonna do
This time around I won't hold a thing back from you
From big to small I put it all now in your hands
Cause when I fall you pick me up time and time again
You dust me off and tell me just to try again
I know everything you got purpose and a plan
So what I bring to you it's everything that I've had
I want to give to you everything that I can
I want to live for you cuz I finally understand
I’m at the end of my rope and
and I can’t take it no more
I think I’m losing control
I am about to let go
I’m lost at the end of my rope
and I’m burning I’m yearning I’m hurting for hope
I’m needing this burden to go
but I’m searching for purpose I’m searching to know
it’s knocks me down to the floor
till I’m pounding the ground and I’m down in my hole
it’s got me down till I go
till I cry out to you I can’t take it no more
you are the one that I hold
you are the one in my soul
you are the one that I know
that will come when I call and I fall and I fold let’s go cmon!
Chorus
so you said to let go
let go of everything I had hold
let go till its all in control
let go till it’s gone up in smoke
crush me mold me make me
stretch me fold me change me
until I aint just the same me
you the only one my safety
your are the one gonna saved me
and I don’t wanna ever live safely
destroy my world and take me
past the end of my rope break me
Bridge:
crush me mold me make me
stretch me fold me change me
(the end the end of my rope)
crush me mold me make me
stretch me fold me change me
I was like dag if I hear somebody brag
one more time in they rhyme all about they tight swag
I’m a write back and tell them what they might lack
I aint mad I just had to find where they minds at
so if it’s time to shine and the lights flash
holding out my fingers to the sky in a tight grasp
then run like Jerry Rice on a nice pass
put a spotlight right on Jesus when the mic’s passed
I got a white tag plus a bright bag
that matches w/ my sneakers and the jeans got a slight sag
that aint the meanings where my lifes at
its only found when I be proceeding down the right path
so if I speak I know they might laugh
but they never seeing what I’m seeing so I ride past
if I stop my breathing he decides that
until that day just happens I keep leaning now in spite of that
(swagged out w/ my tags out with my tags out)
oh you think you getting?
oh you swagged out you think you bad now
you getting swagged out just with you’re tags out
you think you swagged you on that cash route
you better change now you gonna get mashed out
Da' T.R.U.T.H:
hopped up out the bed turned ya swag on
took a look at ya mirro on ya dad’s wall
said whats up feel good about what you have on
skinny jeans listening to you’re favorite rap songs
all black on fitted cap on
culture really is who you are don’t think that’s wrong
uh uh that’s how ye we’re shaped
but when swagger so thick we can’t see you’re faith then
that’s when God has got a problem
bragging about yourself in the contents of ya album
swagger is really arrogance hiding behind rhyming
coolness eclipses the glory of God the father
that’s inherently wrong
when the glory of our God gets buried in you’re songs
so the next time you be on stage
faith up swagger down so we can seek his face
these dudes content man is so sinful
I made it so simple put it on a slow tempo
they think they pimps but they more like pimples
they making little sense like a pennies and 4 nickels
you grow little you live in compromise
so when you live yo lives you living lies
the only way they big macking was the very time
you combined you’re fries with a number one supersized
I’m shooting for the skies so if I land on mars
I let him guide me like the grips on some handlebars
his hands were scarred so here’s a battle call
to stand out like hot pink on some camouflage
I’m standing strong in fact I’m standing on
the very rock whether off or the camera’s on
yall can try and knock and go and slam the song
So in love with you
Now you were after me for so long
But I would walk by ignore you and roll on
Had all I needed just thinking I'm so strong
Just believing that nothing could go wrong
But never seeing just really what goes on
You'd start speaking I was like hold on
I'm just fiendinglike I could do no wrong
All that time i'm out cheating just all along
But looking back I was treating ya so wrong
I admit that it's seeming I chose wrong
But i've been meaning to change now for so long
And this is the reason I wrote just the whole song
You are all I ever need
You are my everything
You are my only thing
And the reason why I sing
Just like that well everything changed
And I started looking at you in a whole different way
And its kind of strange but really i'm amazed
How you caught my eye and ya called my name
I'm the type of guy who thought he had it made
But I can't lie ain't nothing been the same
Since the time I changed and ya came my way
Reaaranged my whole space in such major ways
And to think i used to just take ya name in vain
But I'm so in love with you that I just won't contain
The way I feel I just can't explain
And this is the only way I can sum up what I'm saying
Now we been together for a while now
And every day you find a way to make me smile now
So all I gotta say just every time now
I don't ever want to stray just any time now
I just want to know all your ways just every time now
And just for all my days I want to find out
That your love and your grace well it's all mine now
And this is all I can say in every rhyme now is that...
I can't get enough
So in love with you
This is what I want to do
Starbucks takes all my money
