Ran for the title Best Christian alive put my hand on the bible I will tell no lie I ran off the idles And I looked at Christ we were both sittin idle so I went outside outside the walls outside theology outside the calls of modern mediocrity we all just stall religion owns property intellect falls under one god monopoly I can’t be you You can’t be me But I do need you Like you need me Get off the truth seek out the peace Extend a hand in truce Pour a glass and drink (I’m) livin good now neighborhood good now Grip Gavel, put right foot down Took off runin’ left foot left behind Forget it I’ll just sit, spit you a def rhyme Raised in a small place The great name Evansville Grace gave faith Pushed out heaven’s will What that really is, don’t really know yet. I let go, let God control it Don’t get me wrong, still put work in Write these songs at night in a whirlwind Wake up with thoughts of samples and break beats Music lives where heaven and land meet

Went from beautiful raw to a beautiful break Now my life is sittin in a pretty beautiful place A space for forgiveness and abundance in grace When I walk outside I see a usual face No longer live within traditions of men Exept for those traditions that win, hence I will not accept reckless blind acceptance However, I will accept the divine when I’m in the presence of my elders and friends and they speak to me with love no condescending I sport free hip-hop, no God is pending Just livng in this world hope God is in me (hook): 8 I stress and worry in my mind But that stress and worry is a lie If you look in my soul then you find I am beautiful, most beautiful I put that stress and worry on you But that stress and worry isn’t you If I look in your soul it is true You are beautiful, most beautiul Verse 2 Life is ruff, our diamonds are scuffed We can’t see nor find what we are alive to love But we search for it and we seek for it And in between we hurt for it (so believe this irrational thought and) Accept this irrational thought Lead me from love and a practical god (As if) or (like) god loves us but disregards his creation Like a father loves a child from a distant location Out of all that religion and made up mess Comes a lift non-fiction, hard, but not complex It’s simple really, embrace pain and the laughter Of the people we love, after all, that’s all that matters

Can this be marriage? Can this be my(our) fate From love, horse and carriage To feelings of rage From young and arrogant Out on some dates To bein’ transparent And steppin’ out on faith When the faith slips And the heart melts And from you lips You speak what doesn’t help You say things that you don’t mean But you really mean. Then, youre seen as mean… ah, uh, um At that point you can’t speak Loss of words so you meet Your spouse with your face down Thinkin to myself- Last 5 minutes wish I could erase now But, I can’t so I have to live with it She questions it, I wanna explicative it I’m digging my grave and she can tell situations like these know grace so well Verse 2 Once we became husband wife Everything in our lives intensified Simple issues like self esteem Put me on my knees screaming God help me please This is not what we thought it would be But, it is what it is so what it ought to be Is nevermind that, let’s accept this If we can accept this he can weld this Form it shape it, well, it’s already done Think of those times when it’s all really fun Laughing, joking, just you and me Rappin, yoga, community We got a good thing goin’ a great thing goin’ Keep our eyes on that, it’ll keep going 3X Verse 3 a-yo, I love you, love you so more than you’ll ever, ever know you try to run from that then I’m comin’ for you give a lil somethin’ somethin’ for you a little bit of space, then a whole lot of hug a little kis of grace, holds a whole lot of love forgive and repent, forgive and repent in debt to your love, I give you my rent you’re my new home my new hip-hop my new zone beats sick and I hit the shot everytime now cause your mine now cause I’m yours now and when the floors out we fall together, win, loose, choose to be in it all together and that’s special to me? You’re special to me My heaven on earth, one swell of a queen You’re my everything

Verse 1 She rocks Converse high top stilettos only 12 Jewels cover herself confidence lacks In her mind peers have ominous has To fit into the scene so she fits into skinny jeans Scimpy shirt, braw stickin out Intimate escapades givine out On the daily hail me she screams At the same time, get away from me she leans From 2 sides of dictotomy It is me, it’s not of me What do my friends think, what does my mom think Why does my mom drink, Where has my dad been, If life is so bad then, Can I just trip off of aspirin Her mind is a running wheel, never becoming still Her heart a numbing feel, her talk a mumbling spill Her fast food a dumbing pill, has suicidal thoughts lacks something to kill I love you! Hook: (would like to scrap this hook and get someone to sing) Reaches for the starts- barely above hell though not one good girl friend or good fellow Lives life with no life, not Dead though, pushes up, pulls up in hightop stilettos Verse 2 Where’s her daddy at Is that him on the corner with a gat and a hat Shouldn’t he be home reading a cat in the hat It HAPPENS, dad walks out, momma’s trapped CAN'T GIVE WHAT HERSELF LACKS SO baby GETS raised by the democrats Government assistance, giving government hand outs WALK TALL GIRL WITH YOUR HAND OUT Fly guy with game starts layin’ it down (cash start talkin to her) Pretty soon that same dude starts putting her down Rough,then gentle, (she) feels loved then alone and Long before she's grown has a baby of her own if you see what I see, I view is obvious Families torn apart, Cycles of poverty stress Are more than hard, she’s (leave) bitter (and) brused Confused (when) love walks in, but what do you do?

When he rises in the early morning Clears his yawning and feels the need to exercise Has to get out and do something If nothing, but running, with or without his guys Before he hits the door, he hits the kitchen He’s trippin because the food pickins are so poor He eats sugary filled milk surrounding processed Filth but needs fresh fruit surmounting his health But, daddy’s still gone, momma still young And grandma’s singing that same ‘ol song like something’s wrong Yeah, they’re all around him, but when he does wrong No one grounds him and when he strives, no one grounds him He’s By himself reminded by his shelf Filled with cookies and snacks that he has shotty health He laces his kicks up, grabs his bag Swallows the morning air and gags, it’s such a drag Walks to school surpasses play grounds That are shut down so he can’t even play now We need that campaign played out Cause kids need hope and change now But it’s not just up to politicians or up to kids It’s up to all of us to give kids a love to live They want it; I see it in their eyes They want it; but it is so hard to thrive How hard can it be, dog, it’s that hard When no one around you seems to be trying at all Drama so close can’t even play in my back yard In this game of life I always get these bad calls But adults are like refs calling the shots Let’s give kids what they need: a ball and a plot Of land that’s clean with slides and swings Police nearby so when hoodlums let shots ring Justice gets served, land gets returned To the peacemakers, kids who love to take turns Let us take turns cleaning up Playgrounds are in need of some tweaking, weeding up Through the cracks the grass grows high reach up, cut glass falls from the sky 
Idle hands only deprive, enough we this, we that, its time that We Thrive.
