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 04:23
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

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

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

Warriors 03:27
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
10.
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
11.
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

about

Revival is desperately needed in our nation. And that can only be achieved when our hearts are no longer hardened, and awakened by the love of Jesus Christ. This album has all original lyrics, with my personal take on this nation currently, what the Bible says, and what is needed to revive our world. Revival will only happen when we realize we are all sinners, in desperate need of God, & that we are here for one purpose which is to pursue His glory. Accept Jesus into your hearts as Lord and Savior, before it's too late!
