Return of the G 03:41
lyrics
buy track
It's the return of the "G" - Genesis No zodiac symbolism involved or images True God fearing music, that's all. We're limitless! He's at the door, soldiers. Answer the call! The nemesis Is a squad of fallen angels, ready to tangle Like nappy heads or barbwire twisted up to strangle The breath of life out of our lungs The devil's noose been twice dangled & hung Yeah, he's got traps that are cleverly sprung But Truth - immortal combat - the Heavenly Son Is Yeshua, High Priest & benevolent One Gave me a mouthpiece & the rhetoric - tongue Accompanied with mindset of a prime beast G bombs! Design flex up in prime beats Keep calm, 'cause my lead DOES define peace I speak psalms. To find Him, ain't got to find east Shalom! Repent! Let's take a step back and see who really shapes the culture A brood of vipers, coons, jackals, rats, and vultures Instead of spurring kids to produce like agriculture They feed them dirt on fashion - the Gucci and the Dolce I ain't saying go be a monk and join a convent I'm just saying you can get rich without a dime spent You can find these lines the Father of Time lent Crack open Matthew 5 and have your mind bent Blessed are the poor In spirit - for the kingdom of heaven, thus says the Lord, is yours And blessed are the people who will mourn For they receive the mending of His Spirit when they're torn Yes - and blessed are the humble and the meek For they'll inherit the Earth as sure as I speak And those thirsty for righteousness will not leak His holy vessel has satisfaction that's guaranteed Seek Him! They say God's love seem reckless for loving the wretched Like this ex-thug from Texas, His blood made perfected My lungs praise Him - breathless, He hung slain and precious To cover sin that I'd done when young, vain and helpless His love range is epic - in fact, covers multitudes His love, man, respect it! In tact, it covers other dudes Sun ray spectrum covers like "in other news" The Son reigns effective above us - He's got another view He sent me back with boom bap & hot vocals To trim these mainstream cats & spot cobras Self proclaimed self-made hip-hop moguls Turning profits from lies - they've got to stop boastin' Meanwhile, in the Body of God, He's got soldiers To guard up the Body, to block & stop trojans Turn up the heat, rock lava hot molten It's the return of the G & I am one of God's chosen

Children of a Lesser god 03:48

It's funny just how time flies Especially when you're trying to see through God's eyes An infinite being; nobody could ever see Him Nobody could ever be Him, no matter how hard we try No matter if we live or die Take a glimpse in that Living Liquid Guaranteed to see your image in it What a difference a minute made, a squeeze independently of the choices we make creating all the limits Is prayer just a gimmick the superstitious Christians mimic So they can say that they are speaking to His Spirit Or is it really that they are communicating with Him In relation, the Creator is removing every blemish? What's the difference in a miracle and magic? What good is a spell if a wizard doesn't cast it? What good is a talent if you didn't know you had it? Huh? Is the outcome of it really that tragic? They say gracious speech is like honeycomb They say it's sweet to the soul and healing to the bones Do all feeling lead to wrong? Saying there are many paths to God's like saying all roads lead to Rome It's wrong, baseless, untrue - a lie It's false, inaccurate - off the missile range of fire. Our agendas - reaping all the dangers of desire It's like cutting off the brain from the main air supply Feeling euphoric, just a little bit But that feeling you're for is illegitimate Yeah! The Word of Life, He's written it And all else is less than secondary to His glory that's preeminent They say I made it out the fire Or one day I'll face it like I'm David to Goliath I feel the battle rattling inside - it's like a riot But His presence and essence is like marshal law - Messiah (Yep!) And I'm all right now. I'm free Freer than the bird on a limb in the tree That used to be caged up. He took me, I changed up He used me - I came up. That's why I throw praise up He's leading me to Paradise. He sees me with the sparrow's & the parrot's eyes Or did i roll a pair of dice. Or is it just a pair of lies on peril ice I'm broken and I'm paralyzed I've got an invalid license and now I'm scared to drive I was told that His love and blood took care price And no condemnation for those of us in Christ No prison, only conviction by His Spirit Who carries life The moral of this is, truth offends. It doesn't stop being truth just because you don't like it, or you don't want believe it. Truth is, your truth is no different than my truth. Our perceptions doesn't alter or lessen the fact that the Earth isn't flat or the reality of gravity. A series of surgical alterations won't change your sex. Science can't explain away the presence of an intelligent designer who created all things in an intricate fashion. Let that crash in.

Colorblind 05:19
lyrics

Most of you know of a story of a white girl - had a best friend Her family - she loved them, but she couldn't tell them About this little brown boy - she loved him too But somehow, she knew they just wouldn't understand Well this ain't that! This ain't that story painted white and black Red, brown, yellow, grey - there's only one fellow race That is humanity. Let's open the canopy Uncover those colorblind eyes - begin to realize The damage that we have done when a "fetus" dies From murder - AKA, the process of abortion Why on Earth would you ever want to abort him? Sucked him out the womb while he was sucking on his thumb Didn't even give a second thought - it was done Doing it for convenience - cuz you really didn't mean it Called the act a slip when you slipped onto his... That one time you stayed out too late - and was date raped Or was grooving at the club - was looking for some love And in the heat of moments let him AND her push up on it But don't judge me. Look, I'm just trying to do me Don't you see, I want to have my fun while I am young I want to taste every single pleasure of the tongue I want to beat every single treasure from the drum Eliminate the moral compass - severed, feeling numb Degenerate to core, cut forever from the Son Lord have grace! Hook Why do I feel this way about life or death Why do I steal an kill Your life breath Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind? We're in a microwave culture Waiting impatiently like God ain't at the pace where He's suppose to be But God is not sluggish towards His promises like most of Y'all have believed - if you do, then you're deceived People tend to remain colorblind to the facts that Mainstream media sub-lime light can distract that Gain green! Go on, fill your pockets up with the strapped stacks That's all that really matters, as the death toll is shattered Call it what it is - kids that never had a chance Justify the sin that is due to circumstance Got to rise above them - know the power's in your hands Don't let the culture lullaby you into a trance Some predicaments are bad, yet you still have a choice To give a life a chance and to give the child a voice It's really not a sacrifice. Your life was never yours So think of what you could say when you enter Heaven's gates Tell the angels in the choir "Hey, here I come!" I want to hear every single measure that was sung Heart of flesh beating love & never feeling numb Regenerated to the core, forever with the Son Lord had grace! Hook Why do I feel this way about life or death Why do I steal an kill Your life breath Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind? I know this subject is really touchy, but truth, yeah well it hurts sometimes I know some may get really fussy, but murder is a certain crime That's coming from the One who loved us first - now see it through His eyes No matter how you slice the pie, a helpless little person dies No one's trying to lock you up in chains except the enemy Always trying to redefine the lane of what a sin would be Got you second guessing in your brain what you pretend to be Trying to get your view on things the way you weren't meant to see The Heavenly Father gives life, so the breath of life is precious The logic is, since life's the gift of God, we should protect it And guard it close, as if it was our own, and not neglect it The laws of God are set and for our good, so let's respect it Don't try to go around His will by other means or methods Lord, remove the hearts of stone of those who have rejected Your Word, Your will, Your bond. And those who follow are the blessed Turn to Christ. You're not alone! I hope you get the message Hook (2X) Why do I feel this way about life or death Why do I steal an kill Your life breath Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind?

I Promise 03:13

Heavenly Father, it's been a while since I've head Your voice last Please help! I've been enduring such a stormy forecast It seems to be a lengthy storm that's on a warpath What'd I do wrong this time? I know that's why You're mad? If so, I'm on my knees again , and I repent Please alleviate this problem over present tense I'm begging for forgiveness so Your love will circumvent And cancel out the clouds blocking me from heaven sent My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful. Dear Lord, I'm stepping in my prayer closet once again I'm feeling disregarded as if Jesus ain't my friend If that's the case, then please respond. I need to make amends I'm dealing with the same. Maybe You are not convinced My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful...I promise. This thing is majorly crushing and may be killing me I know You're eternal, no rushing, but are You feeling me I'm tapping out of the patience that You've instilled in me And praying on my measure of faith it's what Your will will be I know that some moments will be tougher than others to swallow But issue's got me livid with living and feeling hollow I'm steaming hot & wonder if Hell is hotter - please, holler! My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful...I promise. Well, Pops, I'm trying to keep my head above the water But it's like you're never here when I need You most, so why bother I really ain't trying to be pompus and pop collars Or treat You like You're some type of genie off in a bottle My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful. Every time you're calling out, I hear it all, so have no doubt. Know that these trials are to build you, and know that My Word of love is still true. Holy Father, I'm grateful that You're keeping me in check And all the whining that I did, I meant no disrespect I hear You now and understand it isn't in neglect Delaying fixing all the things that seem to be a wreck Thank You for Your presence in the middle of the test My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful. I know at times it's difficult for you to understand My ways. But your ways are not My ways - so just continue giving praise. I will exalt you in My due time as you stand upon this Rock I Am your shepherd. I will comfort you and guide you with My rod I will protect you as I always have as all are in My flock So, in the times like this, just stand still and remember who I Am - God

In the beginning, I came in this thing as the underdog Loving on my supporters - I know this ain't under y'all Loving, living the standards, I know this ain't protocol Watch - the one who is exalting himself - Will get humbled dawg And that ain't bout to be me! I'll stay humble Those who ego trip, I'll watch them as they crumble But those who submit to Jah, He'll catch 'em when they stumble Restore them and then flex, cuz ain't a guess He's got the muscle I speak from position, firsthand - I've had to struggle With everything from drugs to loss of love to lawful trouble Locked up - but nothing like the boy in the bubble Good hands, some bad; been lost in the shuffle I've lost friends along the way & misguided people Lied out the side of my face; been deceitful Been up, chest out, shouting from the steeple Been low, rock-bottom - the ground & me were equal Became an alcoholic at the early age of fifteen Addictive personality made it difficult to stay clean Suicidal tendencies - that became a routine Pills were my fiends - any color - red, blue, green Good kid - kinda sorta; maybe some would say mean Southpaw, artistic boy who simply had some big dreams Though, they never been about the diamond grills - say bling Or even stacks of Benji's and the kinda stuff that they'd bring Survived cancer, age six, and I ain't seen the same since Black panthers, slave ship - does my life contain hints Blind standards play tricks. Bloodline, I hate this Find answers? Take hits - get me out this matrix I can't see the circumstances sitting on the porch Family tree, broken branches - riddled in divorce Father, well, an absentee, and steered a different course Is my marriage guaranteed to carry on the torch This year, seventeen, and had our share of close calls Fix here - ketamine mix speed for those brawls COVID-19, lockdown in four walls Stovetop - pipedreams, that's how the stone falls I've poured out my heart to you - no need for being fake You can see from this display, life is not a piece of cake No peaches with the cream, slice of pie, easy-bake It's comprised of God's will plus decisions we make I could probably boast that I've fallen farther than you Cause me falling farther than you may not be far from truth But I'd rather spend my time bragging about the Truth The One who saved me is the One who can save you Gave the life He gave me back to Him - 2005 Tell you honest truth, without His grace, I would have died Never truly knowing life, debased & full of pride But now I'm flawed, but perfect in Him - faith is open wide I just want to draw a life that people relate and feel Let them know the storms of ice will come, no skates of steel To lace up and support us right - and test of faith reveals We need the Lord, the Fortress, and let Jesus take the wheel I gladly let him take control and leave His living legacy Cuz with me on the roll, I know that it would be the death of me Glory to the Captain of my soul who conquered sinning He did that long ago, but this is only the beginning

Full Circle 03:04

We believe we be kings and queens - we're crowning things till disaster strikes Then we want to take cover & pass the buck & pass the mic Kinda like the past was like - deep in Eden Eve and Adam were not even half as right Seems to me that they were half as bright Like they didn't have half the Light The Word says God walked with them in the cool of the day. I mean, it says it in the passage, right? They pushed the bait of lust to us, now we see passed the sight But a Facebook status post of Jesus getting half the likes? But to be His sheep, we'd better know we're gonna have to fight! (How real is that??) Instead of goals, God-driven risen through the atmosphere We're walking dead men - forget to cast the fear His perfect love does though -oh yeah, the Master's here Worry's stupid; like the newest Google searching app is here Working for the weekend so we can get a nap in here Time to get turnt up, but gotta keep the static clear No thanks, bruh, no cold ones for me It's a G thang. You wouldn't understand This is Genesis in God's grace - the power's in His hands You're just finding out that it's cold outside Well, it's 33 degrees n just above freezin Still winds blowing through the trees; best believe that.....this isn't an everlast; Another day is adequate to change the whole forecast Ain't that something? You see the storm coming Then wanna put your cleanest sneaks on and start running Right into the path Thought that you would win Thought that you would last Thought you wouldn't end head on in a crash Being stupid on purpose You'll barely scratching the surface The lottery is worthless That is, unless you win And you've gotta dig in deep to bury sin And me - I've got plenty pain hemmed inside And really haven't set aside the time for pain to hide Been stabbed in the back and shot in the side Plenty broken hearts wishing I'd died Put pressure on the bleeding hoping it will clot Feeling the pressure from it, hoping it will stop Hoping I'd make it full circle - 'fore I drop Try to make the best of er'thing and what not Try to make the best of er'thing that I've got I don't ask for much though And I know I'm in the same boat as most yo So let's go relying on His Holy Ghost And we can rise up in His love, and both grow So get it together - fall in line like a whole row I need to follow the passions of Christ and not mine so I won't get left behind. I'm on my grind! Full circle.

Running Man 03:47

Get up in the starting blocks to run the race Gotta get it when the starter's cocked - run to place First spot light it up - gunning from the lace 'Cause if I'm in front, that means that I'm the one to chase You'd think I'm doing wind sprints the way I rap bars Stashed in my memory bank like flashcards Shattering the records like we step in glass shards Passing mics like batons - this is Trackstarz Yeah - best believe I'm getting in the field with 'em And best believe that the victory is sealed with 'em Like Justin Gatlin passing up Usain Shock the world with the lyrics that I packing in a frame Independent of the of labels and fashions and fame I'm only in it for the passion of things I'm passionate mane Like students international exchange Crash course, Barry Gordon when I'm flashing the flame Turn up Let me show you how to begin this You're a loser? I'ma show how to win this Genesis saga - spit it graphic 64 bit Topographical. Map it like a road trip Blacks that don't learn to swim get - drowned on the slave ship Better get to stroking - olympic style focus Be realistic now - I know you're feeling kinda hopeless I know I'm not the dopest, but I'll take you little jokers by the throat And feed you truth until you're choking Wait wait wait...that wasn't nice So let's get back on track to this race we call life Examine all the facts in the face of all price No practice runs - no, you can't fall twice And expect to get up and do it again I'll make it clear - I'm talking you and the sin You'd better fear. Continue in it, you are condemned Yeshua is the only Way for you in the end running man Just about finished schooling ya Lace 'em up one more time's what I'll do for ya Long course, no doubt But you've gotta get prepared and you've gotta stretch it out Gotta be sincere of what you're all about The Word says study to show yourself approved - Unto God, unashamed, right dividing of the word of truth Don't get ears full of roids, pumping juice Disqualified on account of ignorance abuse Can't blame it on the trainer what you're shooting in your veins Make decisions well-informed before changing lanes Endurance is the key - building up your stamina Endure your adversary - don't just let him damage ya Pick up the pace - don't get left behind sucking wind No, you won't be safe spending all your time stuck in sin Throw away the weights so you're running the course Plug into the Source assures that the victory's yours

The End 03:00
lyrics

We're in the last days While the world is steadily telling me to eat, drink & have fun I realize the reality that, in this life, there is no trial run I mean, what else could this world be coming to but a dead end When teachers indulge in sexual sin with their children Women and men diluted; polluted in their minds over time Desensitizing the next generation to Satan's design Open up the floodgates because the flood awaits impatiently But what are we worried about? God gave His word He'd never do that again He left for us a mark of His pledge in the sky We turn it upside down and make it a symbol of pride Let's just blur the lines because there is too much divide These rules become useless when the groom becomes the bride When the Boy Scouts are accepting applications from the other side And we title it "gender equality" from the debased state of the mind What's going on in this world but this world doomed from fall But He created us in His image, male AND female as I recall Many won't agree so they label Him a fairytale It doesn't fit their frame or float their boat of hopes very well So now, the project is to reconstruct logic Homogenize some truth with all lies But when it doesn't fit because it wasn't meant to mix Just quit! That's the gravesite where all die See, that rug you're sweeping these fabrications under Can only get so thick before someone trips Then what? It becomes the lawsuit for medical negligence? Then what? Time won't heal what you give in the settlement Off top, that Chapter 7 file is not an option Yeah, you're broke. We're broken. And, alone, we can't fix it What we think is "self made" is only IF He permits it It is white or black. Shades of grey, call them cryptic There are no guarantees in "ifs", so is it worth it to risk it Truth is absolute, so I pray that you don't miss it I'm reaching out in love for you with prayers I solicit - The End
