"The regrets of the past and the fear of the future is how Satan robs you of the joy that God has for you today." Although I am nothing, I can accomplish anything through CHRIST who strengthens me Don’t look to the past, don’t look to the future Understand this moment is the perfect picture Maintaining silence on my quest to find the message Searching for the answers but left with more questions The sun has set but I still don’t want no sleep Listening closely while being discrete Suddenly I hear the waves hit the beach Eyes begin to close as I take a seat My mind comes alive within the darkness Trying to figure out what my role in life is On these grains of sand lost for words Thinking of how the LORD came to serve He’s given love that we don’t deserve When will the people observe? It’s your choice or is it His? Regardless go out and handle your biz Free Will versus Destiny while love’s right next to me I chose my friend’s they chose me this my community Upgraded from using words to telepathy Don’t ever want Your love becoming a memory The hour has come for us to advance Finally I dust the sand up off of my pants Begin to strike into a new direction For your love there is no description Give me your heart to show Your affection Everything else will fall into Your perfection Won’t you please release me from my clutches? Tired of relying on these useless crutches So passionately So irrationally Living a life of hypocrisies All I want to see is my Family And friends be in place so heavenly Mentally, Physically, And Spiritually All together within eternity A question lingers as I sit Why is my mind and my heart split? How do I connect the two? Your Spirit is the glue That holds them accountable to what they have to do So I remain true Continue to pursue Forget what I’ve been through Do what I ought to For You And For The Fam and the Crew Your glory reflects into concepts I hold my breath until there’s nothing left I’m gonna preach the gospel til the day of my death Cause if I didn’t do it it would be a tragic theft For I’ve received love from more than above Constant and forever come push or shove The love up above Naw the love all around Feel His presence within the surround sound I close my eyes and begin to think I understand this life is a quick eye blink It starts to flash and lose control I let my soul pour out like cereal Letting out a piece of my essence Unwrapping my heart faster than Christmas presents Trying to understand multiple concepts Here I am empty leaving with nothing left & laying on the floor to feel how cold I am Drifting away I watch my dreams expand Awake in my dreams, dreaming while I’m awake Trying to erase all memories mistakes I look through these two pieces of glass I see time slipping away through the grains of the hour past Not looking to the past, not looking to the future I finally understand this moment is the perfect picture For real.

“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME TO BRING GOOD NEWS TO THE AFFLICTED; HE HAS SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO CAPTIVES AND FREEDOM TO PRISONERS; TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD AND THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD; TO COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN,” ISAIAH 61:1-2 Close your eyes and imagine with me A person who never dreamed or aspired to be A person who’s cold from the wind of the sea A person who sleeps under a bridge with no fee A person who’s hungry down on one knee A person who believes a needle will set him free A person who’s tears flow like endless streams A person you can’t hear even though he screams Close your eyes on this journey with me A place where no child ever aspired to be A place where cold winds blow in from the sea A place where you sleep with no monthly fee A place where hunger brings you down on one knee A place where you believe a needle will set you free A place where tears flow through the blood of your streams A place where cars and trucks mute the echo of screams I close my eyes and realize I don't deserve anything I opened them back up grateful for everything Let justice flow like waters and righteousness ever flowing streams (Amos 5:24) With His last breath on the cross, it is finished is what He screamed! Open up your eyes and begin to see The words that will help you aspire to be The clothes that will warm from winds of the sea The blankets cover you without paying a fee The food gives you energy to rise to your feet The love helps you believe you can be free The tears flow out into a different stream The ears listen so you don’t have to scream God’s opened up my eyes, now I see His Word will help me, aspire to be The child of God that He saw in me His grace covers me without paying a fee Hungry for Him on His word I will feed By the grace of God truth has set me free Let justice flow like waters and righteousness ever flowing streams (Amos 5:24) With His last breath on the cross, it is finished is what He screamed! I close my eyes and realize I don't deserve anything I opened them back up grateful for everything Let justice flow like waters and righteousness ever flowing streams (Amos 5:24) With His last breath on the cross, it is finished is what He screamed! “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.” LUKE 4:18-19

Has He opened your heart will you follow? He has opened my heart I will you follow Him God's opened up my heart now I follow Him (Acts 16:14) And I have many friends That’s never pretend We don’t mean to offend We just set them trends Even when we have no ends When you’re broke as joke Reality seems as if it’s a hoax And you can’t relax… Begin to relapse Cause Uncle Sam’s tax Got you working until your back collapse Got my weapon ready for the 2nd hand contact combat I’m calling up asking where you at You say you're at your fam’s house posted like a thumb tack Want nothing in my life I lack And forget about getting’ my paper stacked “DO NOT BE OVERCOME BY EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD.” (Romans 12:21) Has He opened your heart will you follow? He has opened my heart I will follow Him You’re a Holy sacrifice that reflects Christ’s life So don’t get caught up in the hype aight My life used to be a circus without purpose But now my life is a spiritual worship service Won’t conform to the world no more In the sky I soar on the ground I roar I didn’t even know want I was in store for But now I want to give love to the poor Love from the core And I ain’t even trying to get on my soap box All I’m saying in that some kids got no socks Why we trippin’ about the sneakers that we don’t got These little child soldiers are getting shot So don’t be a robot, stay true to the principles that you were taught From back in the day til tomorrow, we unite relieve the sorrow Fill up what was hollow and begin to truly follow. Begin to truly follow Will you begin to truly follow? Lord, take me back to the start And open up my heart Has He opened your heart will you follow? He has opened my heart I will follow Him Kids get kidnapped from where they’re from Kill people in front of them, they become numb Train to use guns to supply more funds Raping our daughters and erasing our sons Little girls become sex slaves to soldiers more than twice their age And it’s a rage Don’t turn the page Change the way you behave So new paths, can be paved Let your thought move into action Show true compassion so these things won’t happen Children are meant to have hopes and dreams We act like some children are human beings Just because they living in a different scene When will we figure out we’re on the same team? Children were never meant to be INVISIBLE Let’s rise together and end these war rituals Don’t just pray and act so spiritual May your prayers enter the realm of the physical Love is habitual, breath is a miracle We’re living in a time that is pivotal Life is beautiful JESUS CHRIST He's beautiful Has He opened your heart will you follow? He has opened my heart I will follow Him Has He opened your heart will you follow? He has opened my heart I will follow Him

WE DON'T PERFORM, WE TRANSFORM WE DON'T PERFORM, WE TRANSFORM We used to be underground but now we’re for the masses To love every culture in every social status Our Father holds the atlas we’re His apparatus A Beat and a Voice to give Christ to all classes We used to be underground but now we’re for the masses To love every culture in every social status Our Father holds the atlas we’re His apparatus A Beat and a Voice to give Christ to all classes We don’t perform, we transform Go against the current of the natural norm The darkness of the world attacks like a storm But we retaliate with the Father’s Love Poem Picture Perfect situation I’m about to frame it This world’s blinded by celebrities in entertainment Some people asking where the love went Even though my heart is bent Got to remember I’m heaven sent Brought to this earth to give heaven to the dirt Submerged in the water put death to first birth Walking in the wilderness Mocking all the wickedness You’re weapon shines brighter with every verse We don’t perform, we transform Go against the current of the natural norm The darkness of the world attacks like a storm But we retaliate with the Father’s Love Poem Perfect Picture situation we will proclaim it The truth outshines fakes stars in entertainment The earth is where the son went His burning heart restores our dent Word in Flesh became a tent Caught by your love you give healing to my hurt Rise from the water give breath to new birth Running to my brokenness Receiving all Your righteousness You’re message scatters darkness as you lift up the curse! We don’t perform, we transform Go against the current of the natural norm The darkness of the world attacks like a storm But we retaliate with the Father’s Love Poem WE DON'T PERFORM, WE TRANSFORM WE DON'T PERFORM, WE TRANSFORM WE DON'T PERFORM, WE TRANSFORM SO GO AGAINST THE CURRENT OF THE NATURAL NORM!

Prayer 02:29
God, thank you that I get to share Your love with music This was the hardest year of my life, but you showed me that everything and anything can be redeemed and restored. Help me learn from my past mistakes that I may not repeat them. Heal my hurt that I may not hurt anyone around me ever again. Let me only love You & the people closest to me because You are not my priority You are my entirety... (instrumental)
