Verse One: Each breath that I draw/ In this world I’m in awe/ Of my Lord and creator, can’t help but applaud/ His wonderful craftsmanship and his love/ But as second hands move, a push is a shove/ And I’m tempted to fall like rain from above/ Enough is enough, Lord God pick me up/ Each day is a challenge, each week is a cup/ And the last thing I need is to trip and slip up/ You’ve been in these shoes, you know what its like/ You faced the same issues, but you did it right/ A human by nature would pack and take flight/ But foolish am I, and perfect are you/ Not reliant on sight, my faith is in you/ From morning to night, I try to stay true/ For ‘the harvest is plenty, the workers are few’/ And whenever I struggle you come right on cue. Chorus: Good morning mean old world/ Good Morning!/ What do you have in store for me today?/ Good morning mean old world/ Good Morning!/ How much dues will I pay? Verse Two: As a slave to the time/ Despite your design/ Which was God and man perfectly intertwined/ I ask for a sign, or at-least some assurance/ The war that I wage, it comes with insurance/ I know from your word and also occurrence/ The flow of your love is against all our currents/ We press towards the goal with utmost endurance/ But can’t help the pull of our inner insurgence/ The days are too long in the viewpoint of many/ In struggles to work and to earn every penny/ But I look at the birds and see how you feed them/ We strive for our things, when we’ll never need them/ Good is the morning, though days may be evil/ I will always praise because I’ll always need you/ Be careful an enemy lurks to deceive you/ But bring on the day, with joy I receive you!

Chorus: When will you wake up from your slumber?/ And when will you see the truth?/ And when will you accept the light?/ So don’t waste time tonight’s the night!/ And when will you wake up from your slumber?/ And when will it dawn on you?/ That when if of life and death/ So don’t waste time, ‘cause there’s no time left! Verse One: Heat comes on those untrue/ I step through/ The fire that burns the flame blue/ Unscathed/ May his name be praised/ Let the standard raise/ ‘Cause evil are the days reigned by the prince of air/ Pain/ Feel despair in your life when his prints are there/ But really, the warfare in heaven is unfair/ My weapon of choice is prayer with cross hairs/ I rock a mic with intelligence and raw flair/ Ever since two-k, a young age/ I didn’t write, my pen bleeds on the page/ I’m a dark horse for the force of light/ It might sound coarse but of course its alright/ Divorce faith when your main source is eyesight/ Today’s mad tight, he won’t give you tomorrow/ Choose now and be saved from unlimited sorrow/ Please!/ When is the question a man needs. Verse Two: Walking on eggshells, splinters, glass/ Not even cut skin and bruised feet could surpass/ The pain and anguish of a shameful past/ Its crass, that why they live for the present and strive to make it last/ Children surrounded by dissatisfaction/ I betray my heart, through a treacherous action/ More displeased with me than with my neighbor/ Don’t wonder why there’s no fruit when there’s no labour/ Society disgusts disapproved behavior/ Learn to be taught/ You we’re bought by the saviour/ Violent rap sales might be multiplying/ But I’m disposed to copy Christ and die trying/ It’s like that!/ Because is the most valuable commodity/ But obviously, we waste it on our own personal odyssey/ What an oddity/ Those who stand survive/ Those who sleep will perish/ I urge to be redeemed/ This is time to cherish/ So take me, remove me/ From this B-movie of unruly life/ Existence itself, it don’t receive enough hype/ The time is ripe/ Pounce now while its still night.

VERSE ONE: I’m never gonna stop, this was prophesied as a child/ Looks at the skills I’ve compiled/ Through perseverance and work/ Through tribulations and hurt/ Continuing the path is a dead cert/ Its not mine/ That’s why I offer to the sky/ Expect daily attacks ‘cause the enemy is sly/ But the Son of God told me I’m the apple of his eye/ So who am I to squander/ that which from the blue yonder was preordained?/ I put on my white tee, its never stained/ And roam roman roads from Great Britain to Spain/ Trained in the art of delivery/ Armed with mad ammunition in my lyrical artillery/ Our prelacy is under fire/ But as a soldier I’m obligated never to retire/ This is life long/ And in my life’s song/ I ain’t even finished the first verse/ Believe me, I’ll be ‘stillmatic’ though I’m static in the hearse. VERSE TWO: I’m never gonna stop, I’ll rock a mic in my rocking chair/ With withered skin and grey hair/ They can’t take that away from me/ Lord I rebuke any spirit of apathy/ ‘Cause I’m clay vessel of your grace in me/ Misrepresentation would be a disgrace/ To your reputation/ And the Lord of all nations will not be mocked/ That’s why I will not be stopped/ Its not a choice but a vocation/ To spread life to my neighbor and his distant relation/ Inspiration not medicated with leaves/ But with meditation/ A celebration is in store for me at the finish/ So like Popeye I’m steady popping the spinach/ To withstand the milliseconds and minutes/ Of this marathon/ And if we carry on in the way we set out/ We’re guaranteed to get a ticket for the get out/ So I’ll fight the good fight on the front line and stick my head out. VERSE THREE: Words of encouragement, brother don’t stop!/ If he’s calling you then you probably can’t stop/ Regardless of the problems, press on!/ Like Jack Bauer, put your vest on/ ‘Cause its Vietcong in the world, stay strong!/ Keep waiting ‘cause its not long/ You’re not alone/ It’s a movement like your neck’s movement to this song/ Let the world know/ Never will I end/ As long as I’m strong enough to hold a pen!

VERSE ONE: Most of us sit back and recline/ While this world is in decline/ You’re not a star!/ You’re attracted to Orion, but you asked him what’s his sign/ You’d say a clandestine approach was sublime/ But I follow a king that turns water into wine/ Just to give it some flavor/ Not doing the bride's-groom a favor/ More of a life saver/ I tell the future see you later/ Switch up, transcend the crossfader/ You’re multifaceted like Darth Vader/ Tempted in corrupt streets and opposite gender/ Keep receipts ‘cause it pays to remember/ That times change like forecast heats from June to December/ So deep, the Atlantic sea made me an honorary member/ Remember, without lessons from the past/ The present would never last/ We’d just walk the streets unaware of what we’re looking at/ You’d think we’d learn, but repetition is a strange fact.

VERSE ONE: Some are living for the cause/ Others are living for the pause/ At the end of the week/ Where they drink ‘till they can hardly speak/ Breathe airborne deceit/ And spit lunch meat over the toilet seat/ Its real!/ Pero yo aprovecho del momento/ Porque Diós debe estar en el centro/ De mi corazón por ejemplo/ Y cómo Pablo en la carta/ Es cierto, estoy en mi salsa/ Solo hace falta que salves tú alma/ Por ésta espiritual alarma/ Mi arma de fuego/ Y te ruego, que no te portes cómo y ciego/ Profetas locos, somos paisanos del cielo/ Y no lo niego, aúnque sufra algún tipo de riesgo/ Mi corazón lo entrego/ Pero miráte bién el tuyo cómo un reflejo/ Y con eso te impregno y te dejo. CHORUS: I rep the Son ‘cause he took the blame/ I’d rather live my life than to walk in shame/ I’d rather live for Christ than to die for fame/ I refuse to be the same ‘cause I live for change. VERSE TWO: I look through this window pane/ And see so much pain/ I realize I could never complain/ But I swear my cheek’s been marked with a tear stain/ That’s just trangressions and learnt lessons/ Missed blessings and natural depressions/ Nothing really out of the norm/ Just something quintessential to my physical form/ And essential to my spiritual storm/ Perhaps safety sedates me/ Like chloroform its gaseous/ Sometimes my mind’s void and spacious/ I keep my body within limits like homeostasis/ I’m not square, I’m more curvaceous/ That is, personality rounded/ To leave a whole crown astounded/ God keeps me grounded/ To fly when the trumpet’s sounded/ No shame for the one he’s saved/ But philistine run for the caves!/ You know, the one who stacks notes like bars and staves/ But Shakespeare describes as ‘rogues and naves’/ Who chills less at church than he does as raves/ Its some infestation/ In our modern generation/ To thrive more on probation/ Than it does on liberation/ They’d rather hide identity like Anastasia/ If the Nazis would have won we’d be living in Caucasia/ This rhyme’s going deep like Australasia/ But it still hits you like Darth Vader with a phaser!

VERSE ONE: You’re my friend in crisis/ Your light shines brighter than the rays of Isis/ I live for you ‘cause this life is priceless/ And pray for resurrection of a world that’s lifeless/ That contracted sin like it was hepatitis/ It takes more than a cause to unite us/ It takes an enemy to perform and fight us/ Before we can form as righteous/ But we might just fall and slip/ I’m searching for companionship/ With a captain never known to abandon ship/ And the trip is most pleasant/ I’m adolescent, so I never look back / Its all present/ But take president from the proven way/ Remove hypocrisy from what we do and say/ And my philosophy is that we seize the day/ What God sees is creation clay/ So come what may I will choose to obey/ And I pray that you keep with me/ Won’t you speak with me/ And share the deep with me/ ‘Cause secretly I love unequally/ Aphrodite and Cupid, its all Greek to me/ Obey the word not your thirst/ ‘Cause we came from dirt and God’s first/ Obey the word though it hurts/ Yeah/ I will obey though it hurts/ Yeah/ I will obey though it hurts.

VERSE ONE: I don’t care for the world and it’s popular opinions/ A moment of failure doesn’t negate the millions/ That show me your true colors and your feelings/ A pillar in my life, they can’t knock you down/ Despite woeful tears being the only sound/ Of resonance in my heart’s surround/ I prayed incessantly/ Fasted and gave the best of me/ So the holy father would act with necessity/ ‘Protection’ the only word in my recipe/ I laughed in your joy/ Now I cry in your pain/ I might regret your decision but never look with distain/ Momentarily robbed of a brother/ Prodigal son, return to your father. CHORUS: Come, come back to your first love/ Come, come back to your first love (repeated)/Prodigal is the son/ Perfect is the Lord/ To the father we run/ This time we can’t afford (repeated) VERSE TWO: There’s no love lost/ I still love you of course/ So spare me please/ I’ve got your back like moss on trees/ And nothing earthly or demonic could change/ A relationship founded on the Lord of the age/ A brother is blood despite transfusions/ Failures, confusions/ Or any ill-founded lie or illusion/ Always the first to encourage virtue/ Antagonistic to the critic/ How could they ever hurt you?/ A hero with few peers in my vision/ You are three others perhaps fit the description/ In serious note/ I couldn’t imagine your absence or my attempts to cope/ I knew though many conformed to doubt/ That I would see you again/ Without a reflection of suffering/ To shout the cries of joy that you inherit with son-ship/ Return to the father/ He deserves your worship/ I forgive you and so does he.

VERSE ONE: Drowned in emotion/ Water level’s to the eyes/ Can’t stand the torrent of the world and it’s lies/ We see a void where our friend should stand/ It seems our finest constructions were really built on sand/ Who do I trust?/ In whom do I confide?/ Jesus grant joy and peace to whom it’s been denied/ Blind to a blessing in disguise/ Devised by the one who’s incomparably wise/ Forgive the deception of our minds/ And pray for comprehension/ To decipher the teaching through these times of tension/ Its unbearable the curse that we bear in conception/ If not for the cross and your resurrection/ Still, my vision is clogged with the fear of failure/ So with fixed gaze I behold the saviour/ Bring clarity/ Though days are plagued with similarity/ Like the psalmist I cry for your charity. VERSE TWO (Roz): Walking through my memories/ Dejavous I’ve been here before/ Paved with bad intentions/ Full of wrong motivations/ Darkness was the shade I chose/ Thought I could walk it on my own/ Keeping bad company/ Sycophantic friendships surround me/ Alone was my state of mind/ Both hands tied and walking blind/ Turning myself over to sin/ Ignoring the state my heart was in/ From my breaking heart came a sound/ As the shattered pieces fell to the ground/ Tears came quick- put them aside/ Emotion had no place in my life/ Had no love for anyone/ Wanted to be left well alone/ If they hurt me, I’d repay with hurt/ Self esteem was in the dirt/ I needed a breakthrough/ I needed to receive from you/ Light came in, the dark is gone... CHORUS (Roz): I am not alone/ You’ve come into my heart/ You hold me in your arms/ Now I’m drowning in your love. VERSE THREE: Dilemma in the choice of belief/ Unsure whether doubt should reign, or if the truth is chief/ Receive what you please/ But I choose to cleave to the word written on the heart of all those who believe/ For the lost we grieve/ But step forward for the goal to achieve/ I won’t lag behind/ Uproot the roots of bitterness/ Its time to vacate this wilderness/ And shine this luminous light of mine/ Its true, we need healing in true soil/ Or we’ll waste away like reserves of crude oil/ The image of love has been spoiled/ Erasing the work for which our fathers toiled/ This world is temporary, though it’s waters consume/ It’s tides will change with the shape of the moon/ But fear not, his return is soon/ Call on the everlasting God to mend your wound. VERSE FOUR: Unafraid to grown/ Inhale H2O/ To drown is to breather slow and absorb the flow/ So immerse me like the sea/ So profound is your love and unabounding is your mercy for me/ You came like the wind in this willow of old/ You gave us warm tears, ‘cause the pillow is cold/ As the pages foretold/ My soul for eternity’s sold/ Due to the bold move made by the son on the throne/ Heaven’s forever my home/ Jesus alone can ensure I’m not a foreigner wherever I roam/ Although we’re aliens and we’re prone/ We belong to the one that’s serenaded even by stones/ Which is why I can’t contain my praises in this shell of a dome/ I reap abundant fruit from other seeds that were sown/ Therefore my very mind and soul are not even my own/ I’m on loan/ Which is why I can safely, with confidence abandon/ My life and purpose just to walk in tandem/ With the creator, not to a life that’s random/ These circumstances I can’t stand ‘em/ But with God I float through them like a phantom...Let me drown/ Let me drown.

CHORUS: Step back to those times/ Its truly not so long/ You can meet me there/Relive the whole day long/ I wouldn’t change a thing/ In case I got it wrong/ And if you’re wondering/ The fabric of this song/ Its memories of you and/ All that you have done/ Forgive me but its true/ I would not have become/ The man I am today/ Without you/ Thanks for yesterday/I love you. VERSE ONE: Given the chance I would relive my days and hours/ In city the sounds on the 8th floor of the block tower/ I remember cold days, thick coats, scarves, but no snow/ December haze shields displays of the skyline in my window/ Early struggles of communication/ Was the everyday order in this short duration/ It taught perseverance, but mostly patience/ Especially for a family out of touch with relations/ Foreign land, new customs, new speech/ To understand was at times out of reach/ But my mother even found time to teach/ What was supposed to be my mother tongue/ The process of mixture had indeed begun/ Those years were fundamental/ In the formative creation of my mental state and all thats normative and consequential/ From these lyrics to the instrumental/ My hearing even early in existence/ Showed Gods call as nothing short of persistent and I was listening/ Afforded with knowledge of Jesus, the cross, the Victory, the Loss/ Happiness, and the root of joy and its source/ I can’t imagine my life now without those times/ When a third culture outlook consumes my mind/ Even given the chance I wouldn’t touch my childhood/ Cause really I lived everything that does a child good/ Loving parents, food and some firewood/ Not to mention God, though I definitely should. VERSE TWO: The truth is any change would be superficial/ If I was to rearrange my life’s tissue/ How could I complain/? There’s really no issue/ How could I forget?/ Every day is when I miss you/ In reality I don’t want to leave/ The security that helped me achieve/ Stability and all the things that you need/ To grow, out with the old/ Cause I guess I need to grow/ Up is the next step/ Although it seems my mind’s inept/ To understand the concept/ Its a new phase/ But I’ll never forget when back in the days/ We used to play ball on the brick floor/ With the puddles always in the same place/ I used to dream all day of Damaris’ face/ But that’s days gone by/ I remember church when Nigel always cried/ Nick with his big watch, thats before he died/ I remember saturdays with the crew/ By crew I mean the Tamara, Maria, Rafa the few/ I remember Nathan, Marcus, Joao/ Were the close ones that stood out from the crowd/ Together we laughed, we wept, but you never left/ It was these times that assured that I kept in step/ To my family, you never failed/ Together we never lost sight of the trail/To my true friends, you were always there/ Always someone to talk to/ I know you care/ If I was gonna change something, my life and such/ Actually, come to think of it I wouldn’t change much.

CHORUS: “Motherless, Motherless, Motherless Child”. VERSE ONE: Jamás podría imaginar lo que es crecer sin una madre al ládo/ Núnca podría imaginarlo/ Créo que debo agradecerle a Diós por la mia/ Y a tí madre por quererme cada dia/ Me has enseñado todo lo que sé sobre la vida/ Y cúando me encontré en problemas me enseñaste una salida/ Jamás te olvidaré/ Por eso escribí ésta canción, para que núnca se me olvide/ Cúando veo la téle tengo que quitarla/ Padres que violan a sus hijos/ Hijos que matan a sus padres/ Tódo es maldad, en éste mundo de mentiras/ Donde reina el causa familias son destruidas/ No entiendo las personas que creén que mejoran el mundo/ Y lo que estais haciendo es empeorarla cáda vez más/ Es una cadena alimenticial/ Las familias estan acabando/ Y no os dais cuenta. VERSE TWO: I came from your flesh/ I screamed and was born through your pain/ And since that bloody towel/ You’ve loved nad served every grain/ Irreplaceable your position as a guide/ The honorable history of a mother is enough to squash any pride/ How could I feel your distress, anger and hurt/ If that umbilical chord was left undisturbed and inert?/ What’s a hug if I ain’t got a a mom to hug me?/ What’s the woman if not the one who always loves me?/ What’s the world without the one that taught me it’s ins?/ ‘Cause the fathers be outs/ Well it still spins but its covered in clouds all abouts/ Imagination fails to conceive/ The horror of an absentee mother/ We grieve for children that can’t run into their arms and be received/ In reality, the cruelest result of a war/ Is the supposedly unbreakable bonds that it tore/ Between mother and child/ Tarry a while/ I can’t bear to dream of my life without your smile/ Loving, tendet, merciful and mild/ What’s life every day for a motherless child? VERSE THREE: Es demasiado el dolor que sentimos cuando estamos sólos/ Y al final nos abandonan y traicionan todos/ Porque el ser humano es así de nacimiento/ Y no es capáz de soportar tanto sufrimiento/ Pero aquí en la tierra si hay alguien que me entiende/ Que me cuida y de verdad me quiere/ Esa es mi madre/ La que ayudó a hacer más fácil el camino/ Y la que junto a Diós siempre ha estado conmigo.

VERSE ONE: When we first met we were young/ And who was to know what depth of friendship between me and you would evolve?/ And who was to know that a bond would be forged so strong?/ That any problems that arise we can solve/ Like iron on iron, we’ve faced some crazy situations/ But the rubbing and frictions made us strong/ There’s been times that I’ve hurt you/ But its admirable how you can still forgive me/ Even when you know I’m wrong. CHORUS: I love you as a friend/ I love you as a brother/ I know on you I can depend/ I know we’ll always have each other/ I love you as a brother/ I love you as a friend/ This friendship is a gift from God/ Its heaven sent and I pray that it never ends. VERSE TWO: We’ve helped each other grow/ And although our paths don’t run parallel/ They often intertwine/ We’ve proved that a friendship that is blessed by God/ Can even overcome the sands of time/ Even though we’re moving on/ We may be absent/ Remember it is temporal and we’ll share eternity/ I promise I’ll be there for you/ I’ll guard this precious gift/ And as I pray for you each day please pray for me.

CHORUS: Back up off me!/ Satan back up off me/ Just get your hands up off me/ You can’t touch me so back up off me! (repeated). VERSE ONE: Life is hard times complimented by rays if light/ I stand on two feet at roof-top height/ But can’t tell whether its day or night/ Its a world of darkness/ Its hard to spark this light/ That we carry in our heart regardless of the hate/ That we encounter/ I plan to counter/ The evil that would see my head on the counter/ But evil can’t touch me/ Back up off me!/ Life issues, struggles/ In search for closure/ I tread streets that lack composure/ Peace?/ The front line is home for a soldier/ I don’t flee the madness/ God’s with me through the sadness/ And bear witness to the truth/ Of the sickness of the youth/ You can’t pretend/ Decline is a sign of the end/ Although the power of the wrong is strong, we stand stronger. VERSE TWO: Ponte a pensar solo un momento/ Tódo lo que piensa un chaval que está metido en tódo esto/ Solo encuentras vanidad y más mentiras/ Siento cómo el tiempo pasa y sólo veo una sola salida/ Sé que muchos ustedes piensan algo mal de mi/ Lo siento pero soy asi/ No puedo cambiarlo/ Pero tengo mi propia medicina/ Es ‘Cristomicina’/ la que suena en tus vocinas/ Ahora mismo puedo derrotar a cualquiera/ Al mismisimo ‘G-Unit’/ No les tengo miedo a nadie/ Ni a ninguno de los raperos que suenan vuetras radios nacionales/ Estan intentando volveros ‘crazies’ a todos/ No lo comprendéis?/ Que sólo quieren daros lodo/ Escucha esto my homie/ Don’t let yourself flow with this world/ Let’s go! VERSE THREE: Faces barren of smiles for a thousand years/ With traces of deep sorrow underlined by fears/ Rejuvenated by the rain of tears/ And brought to recollection that their father nears/ We can’t stand the weight of planet earth/ Without support from the one who foresaw our birth/ This life is search for some but for more its work/ There’s many forms in the sickness in the corners lurk/ If we crawl through a meek existence/ Its due to the devil and beast’s persistence/ Hat swarms like a flock of vulture/ True wisdom’s at a loss in our culture/ Back up off me!/ I break the malignant voice of lies/ And crush opponents despite weight and size/ I hear the city in its painful cries/ Shout this song and raise your eyes!

VERSE: A friend’s love is the reason I sing/ Reliance is a natural thing/ For human beings in compliance with the natural king/ I step forward i faith/ For the thrill that it brings/ I want a true companion through thick and the slender/ The see-through type who’s real not a pretender/ Friend, never surrender!/ Stay true!/ You’re too pure for the world’s agenda/ Don’t be fooled!/ Friendship is beautiful/ Show love when the words aren’t suitable/ Keep positivity ‘cause all dreams are pursuable/ Think about it as gold, silver and precious gems/ Some of the greatest men in history/ Through twists and bends/ Only made it to the end alive/ Because of their friends and God/ Now, all faith no alfa-davit/ I’m Jonathan, will you be my David? CHORUS: No hay nada mejor/ Que lleva la amistad/ No solamente diversión lo que llega a dar/ Sino alcanzar la confianza de saber escuchar/ Y tomar a nuestras manos cuando debiles estan. VERSE TWO (Luna): Recuerdo aquellos que pasaron por mi vida/ Sonrisas y lagrimas que secaron mis mejillas/ Esas palabras que curaron mis heridas/ Haciendome entender que siempre hay una salida/ A ti doy gracias mi Señor/ En poner el amor en mi corazón/ Para poder amar y perdonar al que a mi lado está/ Escucha hoy mi buen amigo/ Jesucristo está contigo/ Él es fiel y me hace creer. VERSE THREE: A friend is like good advice/ Its hard to get, but its good for life/ That’s why I hold on the friends for dear life/ They enrich our existence/ I step with persistence/ It could all be gone in an instance/ The key is consistence/ Like Jesus who took on the cross/ I thank God for the cost/ And I pray for the lost/ Now, I’ve got connections all over the globe/ Of many types like the friends of Job/ Those who love like the 12 he chose/ And then there’s those whom distance froze/ I smell a fake with my nose better than wet clothes/ But we’re all family/ Ain’t nothing better than a reunion/ Holy connection in holy communion/ And nothing can break what love can make in this union/ So stand up and stand tall/ If we don’t surrender we will conquer all. VERSE FOUR: La amistad es la mejor acción de nuestras vidas/ En ellas encuentras personas muy divertidas/ Personas que te aman, que te ayudan, que te cuidad/ Personas que por verte a salvo te darian su vida/ No desarpoveches esas oportunidades/ No te dejes influir por las malas amistades/ La vida va corriendo pero es corta/ No te olvides que Jesus está contigo/ Amigo eso es lo que importa! CHORUS.
