Intro/Stop Sinnin'

Why do I keep sinning, n my thoughts are really wicked
My mouth is like a sewer n I'm lusting after women
Jin and tonics what I'm drinking
I ain't swimming, but I'm sinking,
Head is spinning, what's my limit
Driving drunk, just got a ticket
Split my lip, and I just missed him
Almost hit this kid, no kidding
Think I'm addicted yet convicted then why do I keep on sinnin
Quoting scripture, get da picture
Depicted as a minister, but I'm missing something critical
Ridiculous how mischievous
I have become, so ignorant
My benevolence is irrelevant
I'm jealous of successful people reppin things from above
Hey what about me and what I've done
Was top 10 in the Gospelfest, and I was on NY1
I play piano and the drums, u got nothin on me son
Talkin reckless is my drug
I'm so pretty, look at this mug
Oh Lord please rip out my tongue
Look how corrupt I have become
Thank you Father for your Son
If not for him I would be done, sin erased by salvation

Revival

A synonym for sin is the wickedness of men
Rebellion is our friend, we deserve to be condemned
Hypocrites pretending to better than than the rest
Who are we that u are mindful of this wretched flesh
But then instead He sent his Son who rose from the dead
Yes Jesus is the definition of the testaments
39 plus 27, that makes 66
Took was what was old, made through Christ a new covenant
This can be read in Hebrews 8, in verse 7 it says
God took what was wrong, n He hadda make it right
He took our faults, from Saul to Paul cleansed us with the blood of Christ
That those who believe in Him, will not die, but will have life (Eternal)
It's time for a change
and it's time they know your name
Teach em how to pray
And help em grow in faith
It's time for a Revival 4x
Time to wake em up, shake em up
Tell em bout the bible
Be a light in the dark
Jesus is our guide so
It's time for a Revival 4x
Money is our god, and we gotta get paid
Funny though how all things in this world will pass away
And man it's such a shame how we all misbehave
You can claim to have it all, then just flush it down the drain
Needles in our arms, send us to an early grave
Seymour Hoffman and The Joker, they made this mistake
You can call me Justin Bieber, drivin drunk on Alize
Are we just to laissez faire about it, let them get away
With murder it's ok, if OJ is your name
Our governor kills babies, says it's ok to be gay
Catching stds and aids, dying at an early age
Now it's too late, u said goodbye, before u became saved
People jumpin down each other's throats, gettin into fights
You hurt my feelings, cut me off, middle finger to this guy
Is it just our pride that makes us lose control
Turnin green, call me the hulk, I'm mark ruffalo
Too busy screaming at each other, can't even hear a thing
Though seeing they don't see, and they aren't listening
I think it's time we stop the hating,
and maybe even care
About somebody but yourself, just try it if you dare
You'd really be surprised how rewarding it can be
Go read Matthew 22, 37 through 40
Jesus told us love our neighbors as we love ourselves
Just imagine if we did this, worldwide revival

Lost
04:32
|

It was when I turned 16, that's where da trouble started
I began to act just a lil bit retarded
I was hanging out, doin a lotta stupid things
I remember even stealing my mothers diamond ring
Gave it to this girl becuz she really liked me
And then she hooked up with my friend, just to spite me
My mother started crying, but no I didn't care
Trouble was my middle name, a parents worst nightmare
I was chillin with the wrong crowd, gettin into fights
Got robbed a couple times, man they even took my bike
Couldn't even use their hands, they came at me with a knife
It was never one but two, no three times 25
Had nobody on my side, was outnumbered every time
I got so many prank calls, my fone ran outa lines
They would come to my job, wait for me outside
Dad come pick me up, drive dad drive
I once was lost, but now am found
I once blind but now I see
It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears are now relieved
I'll never forget the night I was arrested
And seein disappointment on my parents faces
One random mistake that never shoulda happened
Sirens & cuffs, with a lot of bloody napkins
My friends all disappeared, with no where to be found
I was gasping for air but they left me to drown
It was then I decided now that I had enough
I'm moving away, put my bags in the trunk
So I flew to Morocco, I'll stay there for a bit
I hooked up with this chick, n then got really sick
I call back home, I'm havin panic attacks!
I can't breathe, I'm dying, I gotta come back
At the airport making calls n saying my goodbyes
I'm not gonna make it home, I think I'm gonna die
Get my mom on the fone, praying Rock be strong
The Lord got me home, so I could sing u this song
And so I was spared despite so many mistakes
Talkin to the wrong girls, gettin stalked everyday
It seems no matter wut I do, the drama won't go away
What's it gonna take for me to change these evil ways
I grew up in the church, but then I stopped goin
I can't deal with questions, they're too nosey
Who, what, when, n, why, how, do this n do that
Look at this punk, son take off that hat!
Ok I'm done, bye, time for me to split
Walk away from God n do my own thing
But the problem with no rules, just leads to sin
Every wk at the club, havin drink after drink
So drunk I can't stand, I can't see I can't think
I Dance with this girl n she gives me a wink
We Head to a hotel, and we did what we did
Next morning so guilty, I make myself sick
Walked into church, as if nothing had happened
Now I knew I was wrong, but I was good at acting
Panic attacks came back, n so did the stalkers
Dont you see a pattern, which path am I gonna walk in
I had enough God, I quit, I can't do this, so Jesus u win
Forgive me Lord please, I was lost, I was wrong
So I'm saying so long to the tricks, the drinks, n chicks, I was lost

In The Daylight
03:29
|

They're being cynical, critical, & it's so typical
But there's nothing spiritual about the wicked material
And it's real serial how we treat the menial
Serious and I'm weary cuz we focus on the meaningless
And it's petty, yet steady ready to jump
When for a second I reckon the moment heats up
Like a bull we see red and bump heads
And our patience is tested, our pride is effected
Been disrespected, but we forget before Christ resurrected
That he was dejected, subjected to pain by men who were elected
By men who expected to live in sin without any consequences
And hence then it's said that the guilty will perish
So let us pause and cherish the gifts that we inherit
In the daylight, in the daylight
What you have said in the dark will be heard where
In the daylight, in the daylight
What you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs yea
In the daylight, in the daylight
What you have said in the dark will be heard where
In the daylight, in the daylight
Just so hypocritical, everything is political
It's a miracle that we still haven't hit the pinnacle
The triggers us, it figures such, the messages are subliminal
Once a saint now you've become a criminal
It's pivotal you rescue us, down on my knees I'm looking up
Father God in You I trust, keep me from temptation, lust
Because I fell way more than once, it wasn't enough
No, and I shoulda been done, and the one from above mercied me with his love
Like the dove from the flood, and the blood from His son
He'll never leave or forsake us, it's the battle we've won
The enemy we have overcome where
They stunting, fronting, no loving, turning nothing to something
Holding grudges, so stubborn
These curmudgeons are running a life of judging another
Cross the line, no you stutter, and stumble and mumble
And wonder why it was prophesied brother versus brother
And son versus mother
Man betrays the one whom God sent to save us
All in His perfect time he said stand by my side
Those who are without sin, but the crowd stayed silent
No go and leave your sinful life
What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight
There is no one perfect in God's sight
No not even one can call themselves righteous

Lord I praise you for this day n every day that you wake me up
I got two loaves of bread under my arm n I got water in my cup
Lord I'm speaking to u with my mouth my tongue, with the air that's in my lungs
Kiss my wife n daughter bye, another day to drive that truck
That 9 to 5, plus overtime
Come home for dinner, kiss my girls hi
How was your day, how was mine
I really feel like I'm losing my mind
Press rewind, it's the same exact thing
Just add a little drama in between
Fight and yell, I hate you, go to hell
Tell me what's the point of those wedding bells
There's A Reason that we fall
So that God can open doors
Lord you bring us to our knees
We cry for mercy, Jesus please
Love is patient, love is kind..but I'm so angry all the time
But I just don't get it God, tell my why
I break down, cry, do the same thing twice
The same thing, the same sin, make that 125 times 9
Slap, spit, kick, fall over, trip
Mock, mimic, rip out my eyes n lips
I'm so sick of it
Change me, please put my mind at peace
But what shall I fear when He died for me
Jesus Lord I'm so sorry
when i spit in your face, I'm such a disgrace
I'm ashamed to even call upon your name
No I'm not worthy, I sin every day
How dare I question u and complain
I'm only mist, here momentarily
What will it take for u to wipe me away
I deserve it, but u bless me with your grace
with you Son, with your love, Lord your mercy beyond great

The greatest moment in my life was when I became a daddy
To see this little person starin, smiling rite back at me
Baby you're so beautiful, you look just like your mother
I'm so blessed & grateful that we all have each other
It truly is a miracle from the God above
Come & give daddy a kiss, gimme a big hug
You're getting just too smart, now u know your A B Cs
You're going on the potty & you're counting 1-2-3
You're singing and you're dancing, and you're also really sweet
Silly, sensitive, yet stubborn, a strong personality
Bananas, nuts, don't mean muffins, driving us crazy
But we love and wouldn't trade u for another baby
You ask me Daddy please won't you come n play with me
I'm sorry, Daddy's busy, now it's time to go to sleep
Read me a book, I want juice, wanna watch tv
It's time for u to take a bath, and u gotta brush your teeth
Now we gotta say our prayers, say thank you G-O-D
I kiss you on the head, I love you, baby have sweet dreams
Daddy no I'm scared, there's a monster over there
I wanna sleep with you before I have a nightmare
You're my sunshine, pumpkin pie, you don't have to be afraid
I'll hold you til u close your eyes, cuz now I'm wide awake
Twinkle twinkle little star, Jesus loves me this I know
You finally start to fall asleep til Daddy where's my Bo-bo
Now hush little baby don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
You are my whole world, daddy's little girl
My sunshine pumpkin pie
And now your baby sister is on the way
Now the two of you can play
Be her partner, say you love her
kiss n hug her every day
So as it stands right now, we're a family of three
But before there was you, it was just Rock & Kimberly
And we didn't have it easy, no not by any means
There were so many times I thought we weren't meant to be
You see when Daddy had met Mommy, she was only 18
Was supposed to go to college, n major in psychology
The school was in Virginia, but Daddy's home was here
I finally met somebody special, and it brought me to tears
But so as it turned out, instead mommy didn't go
I was so happy that she stayed, but what a rocky road
Because for mommy to see me moved in with her sister
Cinderelli Cinderelli, do the laundry & da dishes (yea u get the picture)
So I still barely saw mommy, on da fone like it's long distance
This is getting too ridiculous, feels like im in prison
So then it just became too much, n it came to a head
Mommy got kicked out, she no longer had a bed
So then for a few months, mommy had moved in
But we wanna live for God, n don't wanna live in sin
So we then decided that we would do the right thing
Daddy went to zales n bought your mom a diamond ring
Then we went to city hall, and yea u know the rest
Happily ever after, she said yes, we were blessed
Fast forward to the present, now Angie you are 2
And on July 20th, now Sofia is due

Scream & shout and praise His name
Dance for Jesus in this place
Put your hands up in da air
It's a Jesus Party, we in there
Tonight is the night, we at The Rock Cafe
It's free for all da fellas n da pretty ladies
You can get your drink on, get that club soda
No need for alcohol, cuz we drunk on Jehovah
We spinning Holy Hip Hop, Rock, n R&B
Da mic is always open, so lets hear that 16
This is good music, but we have a greater message
Jesus Christ Lord, now bring all of your friends in
Stay outa da bars, stay outa da streets
Look for trouble, smoke that weed
Get these girls in the sheets
Point your gun at somebody
So it seems that the theme in 2014 is blatantly
sayin disobeying n betraying His name is the way it should be,
now where's the peace
You can follow me on twitter, be my friend on facebook
YouTube all my videos, Instagram how I look
But guess wut in the end, it doesn't mean a thing
The only thing that matters is that Christ forgave my sins

We got a job to do, so let's go & get it done
Spread the good news of God's one & only Son
Get out into the neighborhood n show these ppl love
A smile or a kind word, or even a hug
We speak, teach, & minister in anyway we can
With open Mics, seminars, put bibles in the hands
Of men, women, children, all ppl everywhere
So many of us hurting, confused, and we're scared
The devils always busy, it's called spiritual warfare
He'll try and make you doubt, fed up til you don't care
And so beware of the wolf with a lamb's mask
To carry your cross can be a difficult task
So u gotta be prepared, but do not be afraid
Because The Lord said, "know I am with you always"
So we fight & persevere with the double edged sword
With Christ on our side, we shall not be ignored
We are Warriors
We are We are
We are Warriors
We are We are
So what is the objective when we bless em with this message
Honestly I feel rejected, neglected, disrespected
How quick we turn away when we're not gettin the attention
And yes I'm one of them, so can u tell me where's the exit
Cuz I quit, I'm good at it, this ain't wut I expected
Guess I haven't been elected, I'm just a worthless peasant
So tell me where's the treasure, is it even in my record
Does my music mean a thing if Jesus truly isn't present
Musicianary, missionary
Worship in the sanctuary
Take it out of seminary
Let's get out the cemetery
Raise em up where they once were buried
Hit the streets with love declaring
Christ is King 4x
Yea they call me David cuz I'm slaying these giants
Got the heart of champion, Yes I'm Daniel Bryan
Somebody's gotta do it, so we're beating the odds
The wicked witch can't stop me, I'm the wizard of oz
Richard Parker is my name cuz I'm a survivor
Knockin out these Ivan dragos, got the eye of the tiger
They turned planes into missiles, to knock down the towers
Zero dark thirty, Osama gotcha you coward
The Italian Stallion, I'm Little Italy
A bad boy, no Good Fella like Joe Pesci
Round 1, round 2, yea we'll go 15
No I aint goin down, up until that bell rings
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race
Persevere and overcome whatever stands in your way
The armor of God protects you from devil's scheme
Stand firm with the truth, the Gospel of peace

Ya know it's sad to say but there's really no support
Among your own kind, instead they choose to ignore
You're knockin & you're pleading but they just slam the door
You're crying & you're bleeding but they kick a little more
Why is everyone a hater, they root for u to fall
Must be human nature for them to drop the ball
I'm tryna make a statement, but I'm talkin to a wall
Stubborn stuck in neutral, like a car that always stalls
The outcome is predictable, so why do I even talk
Seems like they walk a couple steps, then instead decide to crawl
I'm gettin tired of the politics, it's honestly ridiculous
The looks & the cliques, it's sick the way we judge
I thought this was a church, when did it become a club
We're bringin ppl down instead of lifting ppl up
I'm discouraged n I'm angry, no I don't feel any love
You can call me Bill Buchner cuz the ball went through my glove
Yea I'm nothin but a loser, cuz the enemy has won
This used to be my pleasure, but now it's no longer fun
We supposed to be the heroes, we should help but we don't
The ones who have money always claiming that they're broke
Yet those who have close to nothing, wrote a check with 3 zeroes
And no it's not about the money, u can light it up in smoke
And don't pretend you're busy, when u know ur stayin home
It really is a joke, so why u putting on a show
Where's the support
Where is the love
Why can't I rely on anyone
Where's the support
We gotta look above
No matter what they throw at us we are not giving up
And so in the end, whether they show up or not
You keep on moving forward, don't let em make u stop
That's what the devil wants, he wantsa see you fail
Then God won't get the glory, n the enemy prevails
But no, o no, I will not let happen
God give me strength, to be like the second Adam
No they wont steal my joy, so I'll keep on planting seeds
The reason that we do it's, for that one lost sheep
|

I won't be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
There's just no way I will compromise
The devil is a liar & the father of lies
Don't let em take away what God put inside
They want us to compromise by telling sugar coated lies
How could u deny Jesus died to save your life
I will never be shy, no I'll scream it 50 times
That Jesus is alive, yes Jesus is ALVE!
But they make it a crime, and say u crossed the line
I'm sick and tired of them claiming what is wrong is the new right
Losing sight of what's important and why we're really here
Christ died and rose so we could live, tell me what's unclear
Instead we fear what others think, make sure they didn't hear
If you say Jesus on the mic, then people will surely disappear
I wanna do my own thing, I ain't got no time for this
If I admit that Jesus lives, then I have to give up all my sins
Since I was a little kid I was always wondering
Why is it if we should love, instead we're always arguing
I know that there's something up there I just don't know what it is
So your stubborn, foolish heart's preventing you from meeting Him
So there was this event with music I was asked to host
And they said wait but you play that music with the Holy Ghost
You see to mention Jesus on the mic is a very big no no
What about Buddha & Mohammed , it offends the Jews u know
We just wanna keep everyone happy and have a peaceful show
We'll even pay you, how's that sound, but keep you're Christian on the low
Well it don't sound good at all, and in fact I'm not impressed
You can give me all the money, but it's totally meaningless
You see when I meet God, what will He say
I never knew you, turn away, can't even bring myself to pray
I'd be too ashamed to face Him on that day
And He would judge me rightly so, cast me to eternal flames
You see Jesus is my friend, and you want me to say he's dead
Well sorry I'm no sell out, and won't ever disrespect
My Savior, Teacher, King of Kings, He's been there with me through it all
And I will not be ashamed to proclaim his name, Jesus is my Lord
How dare you ask me such a thing
Ok so check this out, I decided I would pray
And then I called a friend who said just love em anyway
So I called back this lady and said ok let's do the show
But my heart was heavy still, and God only you know
So I did a couple songs, and people stopped right in the street
I told em that I once was lost, but Jesus rescued me
And so they raised their hands, worshipping the Lord
Sorry Satan, guess I won, Revival's knockin on the door
