Open them ears up bro we bout to put you on
To something special, to bless you I hope it's hitting home
I know you skeptical bet you just tryna flip the song
You used to different spitting bout women and living wrong
But what you know about the Lord? We tryna see Him clear
How to appease Him and please Him, how can we keep Him near
How can we know Him, behold Him, and show Him we sincere
Is he opposed to you posin, smokin, and drinkin beer?
I'm hoping we prepared, we bout a take a trip
I'll point you to the living water homie take a sip
Go to the pool of Siloam go on and take a dip
Come back with vision that's given by Him who makes a switch
Though it would it cost Him, His enemies would cross Him
He called, and was dropping that knowledge like books falling
Dallas to New Orleans, Philly to every city
Our vision is looking blurred we gotta see 20/20
Got ears but don't hear, got eyes but don't see
Our God we don't fear, these rhymes are so we
Can peak off into the mind of God, He's holy
Our lives are so weak, but God is so heap
Yeah He's perfect and flawless, He stands as the standard
His stance is grand, understand that He stands up
Always upright, we got a chance since the ransom
He paid at the cross, now let's find us some answers
What kind of God, would take some dudes and hand em
Eternal life for free, through the grace that He grants them?
By faith, we been changed, used to roll as His foes
But He rose and He chose, now we clothed in His clothes
It's kinda crazy, we all had ambitions of getting dough
He changed our character like an actor who's switching roles
This is to testify bout the God that we living for
And I'm just hoping this album will help you get to know Him

Verse 1:
Oh yeah they talk a lot, they say they that they walk it out, they say they this/They making chips, their cake's legit, don't baller block or call the cops/They think they something, better not say they ain't or that they fake or fronting/Otherwise their duns wills ride with guns inside their range or something/That's what all they songs about, they long for wrong they all about/How they the stuff and they discuss how they all go that baller route/But me I take that smaller route, them ballers I'm gon' call them out/And say to dudes the King is true, so that's what I'm gon' talk about/Look I ain't got no cocky flows bout dollars copped when rocking shows/Or girls that pop and drop it low, or glocks that I'm gon' lock and load/It's not for show or lots of dough, I do this for His name/To get it out, not to get mine exposed, don't do this for the fame/No time to flow bout shiny clothes, or shoes, or golden chains/My mind is sold to the God who rose, His truth is on my brain/So while the average cats is backwards spitting battle raps/Wrapped up in their habitat of blasting cats, I'm rapping 'bout the Master's acts/Most cats just can't fathom that, that I don't the spotlight/It's not right, I'm not tight, I rep Him when I rock mics/So don't be looking at me, you see me just look on past me/I'm nothing special, just a vessel, service makes me happy
Hook:
Hey if you looking for a Superstar/I ain't the one you searching for, I came to bring some worship, bro/He's perfect I'm just dirt below/Hey if you looking for a Superstar/Don't look at me, you got me wrong, I been a sinner all along/Let's look at Him and not the songs (Repeat)
Verse 2:
Hey what you looking at homie? Get your eyes up off of me/The credit bro it's not for me, but the one who took the cross for me/He's holy, I ain't choose Him, He chose me, oh no He sought for me/Bought me, got me clean homeboy, get it right/What you looking at sister? I ain't nothing but dust bro/Who must go and rep His name, He gave me grace to trust so/I'm nothing more than anybody else, they in the front row/They think I'm special? I ain't much though no, get it right/Hey what you looking at homie? Nah I don't mind the autographs/And pictures but I ain't all for that, I'm preaching Christ and falling back/My mission is to lift up the risen who put the cross on back/I'm spitting to help them follow that vision, get it right/Hey what you looking at sister? Forget about my name and stuff/I ain't no entertainer, but hope this is entertaining just/So cats can hear His name discussed and trust the God I came to trust/His grace is enough for saving us baby, get it right
Hook
Bridge:
Get your eyes off me, I'm just dust from the ground/Put your eyes on Him, Christ the Son with the crown/I ain't no superstar, I ain't no superstar/So get your eyes off me, get your eyes off me

Verse 1 - Trip Lee:
Look I don't know what they told you but if it don't match up
With His holy Word then homie they need to back up
Some they pretend like they get Him they twisting facts up
That's why we dig in the scriptures to know the Master
Homie, we have to if we want to get past the Only thing we know being what we learned from the Pastor
I really hope your listening, my listeners cause after
We want to see Him clear like a big screen plasma
Half of the cats I seen they don't really know the Lord
They think my views are extreme, think I'm going overboard
But they ain't read a page of the place where He's spoken for Himself in the matters, man that's what I be quoting for
Some say He don't exist, nah that don't even make sense
This Earth is masterpiece somebody had to paint this
Forget the big bang, or evolution and face this
He's the King of Kings and author of all creation
Some say He made it then lets it run like a clock
Nah, He controls every soul and every action on the block
If it happened then He watched and it happens on His watch
No surprise in His eyes, no my God's never shocked
Hook:
I don't know what you heard, I don't know what you heard
I don't know what you heard, hope it matches with the Word
I don't know what you think, I don't know what you think
I don't know what you think, homie time to get it straight
Verse 2 - Tedashii:
Wonderful, Counselor, Masterful
This is Jesus Christ, LORD, all capitals
This is why Trip and I trip after the mass appeal
Of people, who pigeonhole Jesus as a pacifist, Whoa!
A prophet with no power in His plasma
Still we preach against the views that Arius profess to have of Him (look it up!)
Meaning the deifying of Jesus was nothing more than an accident
But the Bible's the proof that refutes and gives us facts on Him
That He was, what His Daddy was Homousia, the God-Man
sent to save us all that He loves
And set us free from sin and shut it down like it was Attica
Anyone disbelieving this truth may want to back it up or back It up
Because the Son of Man is coming that's what's up and at His judgment seat is where you will see
His holy wrath is just
But God is Love, that don't mean He's weak! Hey check His resume
Just cause He lets you breath don't mean He won't take His breath away
Hook
Verse 3 - Trip Lee:
These days in the church, most cats got it twisted
Don't let them fool you on how we posed to live this
For instance, some say to come to Christ for riches
Or maybe your blessing, but my question is what is this?Cause that ain't the gospel, that if you put your faith in Him
To come to the Savior, and then you'll rake that paper in? Face it friends, they made Jesus they holy ATM
Paul would appalled, this gospel would be disgrace to Him
This false gospel strips Him of His flyness
He's more like your servant and less like His Highness
So please don't buy it, that idea is absurd
Jesus said the Christian life can be strife and it's filled with hurt
Look homie I would hate for, cats to get that fake stuff
And never know it's wrong cause they wont open a page up
I pray we erase the wrong views and embrace the Holy Word that testifies to us about the Savior

Verse 1:
Hey, you crazy if you think you can grasp
The eternal ruler who is first and is last
Reigns in the present, and He reigned in the past
Who is perfect and has none to learn in a class
I seen a lot of dudes I don' think they get it
Got a picture in our brain but the King can't fit it
We got a lil box but the King ain't in it
He's way too complex, don't get this thing twisted
I could learn bout Him who's on the throne
But like Badu He goes on and on
I could spit a million rhymes till the song is long
But still not have enough bars like a broken phone
To tell all about the God of Romans known
Through the scriptures that picture should blow your dome
He's amazing behold Him, appraise Him He's golden
Inexhaustible, I'm amazed just to know him
Hook:
Hey what you know about this God? He's way too great homie, I can't grasp Him
Hey what you know about this God? He's too complex my mind can't fathom
What you know about this God? He's amazing behold Him appraise Him He's golden
Hey what you know about this God? He's inexhaustible, I'm amazed just to know Him
Verse 2:
For instance I just can't get this He's one but eternally exists in three
That's crazy our minds can grip this we
Need to realize we men so our pictures weak
Just try to understand how he came as a man
But remained I Am, all things in His hand
Say what? The King was slain as the lamb
When He came to the land that He made with His hands
Say what? Just try to make your brain understand
He's so big man's like a grain in the sand
That picture's too big for a frame but my plan is to grow
I pray my picture of the King will expand
I could study forever and read all day
But still wouldn't understand the King all the way
I got a long way to go, but I'm pleased to say
I get to live my whole life just to seek His face
Hook
Verse 3:
Hey it's not enough words in my speech to proclaim His greatness
Not in the whole English language
To exhaust this King, His past is blameless
I won't stop reppin 'till His name is famous
Among all nations, He still prevails
Praise the Lord that He chose to reveal Himself
When He could have just chilled and concealed Himself
Praise the Lord that He chose to reveal Himself
Now we can share in enjoyment, see more and more
The glory, the beauty of the Lord of Lords
Through Creation, or Scripture's the door to more
Can't get it all on this Earth, there's more in store
When we get to eternity, it'll be better
We get to see more of the Lord forever
A million years later, the joy is the same
Seeing still more and exalting His name
Hook

Verse 1:
I seen cats and they demeanor and man it seems wack
They think that they level is close to where Elohim's at
They call themselves the King cause they proud of them green stacks
But He's the most high, the highest they gets on weed sacks
These dudes ain't on His level bro, so please take heed and let it go
I know you got some cheese, but He don't even need no cheddar bro
He's self sufficient, check His scriptures bro He's incomparable
It's best you go and check His Word, this bread is more than edible
Face the facts, you think you amazing because you make cash
But look around the Heavens and Earth, homie He made that
You can trace back His history, its filled with peace and great acts
He took the sin of men, the weight He took on Him would break backs
Lay back and peep this, bro this ain't no secret
I'ma hit you with some truth you may not want it but you need it
I know you fly and fresh to def, but homie you ain't fresh enough
I would say step your game up but you can't step it up enough
Hook:
Who else you know?
That's even anything like the Lord He's meant to reign
We ain't on His level man to say we are is just insane
Who is like Him? NOBODY! (4X)
Who else you know?
That's like our God and Father, He's the one that cat's should honor
Look He stands above man in His sight we grasshoppers
Who is like Him? NOBODY! (4X)
Verse 2:
Some folks trying to say they off the chains they think they so fine
They good at rapping, they album went platinum four times
They gon shine and even when they gone, they in these folks minds
But top this, my God existed way before time
Before He made anything homie, He just was
He's eternal, He just made you from the dust bruh
One day you gon pass on, but my God will last long
Drag on, longer than your chrome or all your rap songs
A lot will stand, saying they famous and got a lot of fans
But they ain't got no angels praising them they not the man
Cats should get they minds right, I know they in the limelight
But our God is infinite, they illegitimate and finite
We created, He's creator, We was made and He's the maker
He's supreme over human beings, though folks try to debate us
A lot of kids they got it twisted like some hair that's dreaded up
I would say step your game up but you can't step it up enough
Hook
Verse 3:
A few guys, know a lot of stuff and some dudes wise
But if they said they on His level then them dudes lied
Who guides the Spirit of the Lord or taught Him truth? I'd
Like to suggest that you see Jesus through some new eyes
Who measured the waters in the hollow of His hand?
Tell me who's the God who's marked off the heavens by the span?
Now tell me who calculated all the dust of the Earth?
He is Yahweh, God we make much of His worth
Tell me who you know, that's more powerful or even beautiful
That's truth and bro would die to save and raise after His funeral?
We tell men, that this God would let them drive them nails in
But still spreads out the heavens like a tent to dwell in
So the point is, He's greater than we are and man this joint is
To point kids, in His direction and where this joy is
Come on, no more fronting homie its bout time for fessing up
You want to step your game up but you cant step it up enough

Verse 1:
We like to talk a lot, about how we running this Christian race
But then when it comes time to walk it out, nah we don't never want to get in place
We don't even know what it's all about, there's a problem going on with the saints
In church Sunday, but that's all we got, and the rest of the world gon miss His grace
We see them in the parking lot, we tell them all their sinners and they're missing Christ
We got a couple scriptures we start to drop, but we got to be a witness, got to live that life
But nah we just talking stuff, we off in the cut, when it comes time to shine His light
But we got to rep the cross and His blood, got to walk in love,
Got to show cats the mind of Christ
We told them, that we this and that, we live and act how all should
Now let's show them that these Christian cats ain't really wack, it's all good
We wildin', now they think of Christians, think we tripping that ain't cool
We foul and, now they think He's missing, bro let's show them what it do
Hook:
If we gon get it for the Lord, then we gotta get on one accord
It's time we pick up all our swords, let's show em we Christians
If we gon get it for the Lord, then we gotta get on one accord
We told em we Christians, now let's show em we Christians
Verse 2:
They don't take us serious even though we be talking a good game
They poke fun and they jeer at us, probably 'cause we don't walk how we should man
Nah they ain't feeling us, no distinction we just looking the same
It makes me furious, we don't rep Him as much as we could man
We tell them not to curse, and to come with the church where Jesus at
So some got a lot of words, but we ain't never got no deeds to match
We avoid the blocks and curbs, but we try to tell them where to meet us at
Thousands of members inside to work, but it ain't nobody on the street with cats
We told them, that they welcome, that we love them and we filled with joy
Let show them, that we willing to come to they block where cats be killing boys
We slacking, we ain't showing love, we act like we can't give them truth
Where's action, they don't know His love, let's show them that we living proof
Hook
Verse 3:
We like to brag to cats, bout how we bought by the God who saves
And how He snatches cats, by the cross and He gets them out the grave
We got brains thats packed with facts, bout Him who was sent to the cross and raised
His Word is action packed, with works and words all about His name
So we know that's He great, but we don't reflect Him well
So when we told em that He saves, it was hard for them to tell
So it's time to live this thing, in light of the God who reigns
Let's try not to cause Him pain, show them a pic of the God who came

Verse 1 - Trip Lee:
Lord, I'd like to start by saying I can hate where I'm at
When this life is hard and situations take me aback
The fight is hard and I can hardly face it in fact
In life it's hard to get up like a bar with weights thats attached
It really seems the situations that I'm facing is wack
I been awakened but now I'm feeling forsaken and trapped
With no hope and I'm broken open for Satan to trap
I been bothered since You Father put this weight on my back
So please erase it's wack, cause when this pain it attacks
My weakness is at it's peak and I'm feeling strained and I lack
The trust in You I struggle through the ways that I should come to You
Lord, what am I gonna do? It's true this pain it distracts
But I see my only hope when my backs on the ropes
Is in You so I read through the facts that You wrote
The pain may fade away, but if that's my only hope
Then You don't get the glory alone not even close
Hook:
Lord, it may get better but it may not
So when I pray God, I pray I
Would trust You whether or not the pain stops
So when the the pain falls, coming down like rain drops
I just gotta cling to You
Verse 2 - shai linne:
Heavenly Father, in Your Word You say we can build
Because of Jesus and the blood that He graciously spilled
Lord, I thank You for real, cause my Dad's always there
I can cast all my cares plus the weight that I feel
My situation is ill, I ain't asking to be making a mill
But is all my money for paying my bills?
It gets crazier still, my soul's on dangerous hills
A target for the world, flesh, and Satan aiming to kill
While the wicked who be hating your will
Sit by the lake as they chill, taking in sensational thrills
Lord, Your Son I admire, He's the one I desire
I'll run through the fire if You say it's Your will
But at times it's hard to hear You, the world doesn't fear You
Lord, give me a clear view Your face is concealed
Help me to be patient until Your grace is revealed
And in the mean time, between time, be praising You still
Hook
Verse 3 - Trip Lee:
Lord, You know I'm hoping that my situation will switch
That You'll show me You're amazing by erasing it quick
But I've noticed that my hope was in You changing it quick
Instead of knowing You're enough Lord I was chasing Your gifts
But then I opened up Your text and looked at David and them
Their situations was grim, but it ain't change them within
They prayed You'd take it away but sought Your face in the end
And found comfort in Your justice and the grace You extend
So in this life full of strife if my days get grayer
I'm content with the fact that You'll stay my Savior
No change in my game, man, it ain't no greater
Comfort than what's found in You that's so major
So in this life full of strife if my days get grayer
I'm content with the fact that You'll stay my Savior
No change in my game, man, it ain't no greater
Comfort than what's found in You that's so major

Verse 1:
Ah what a relief it is
To be in Christ He's the life that I need to live
I'm in love with the fact, that some sheep are His
What would for your own? He would bleed for His
I heard of other Gods, but none of them are like Him
They sit up in they paradise lamping
But He's perfect and it's odd, cause though they would deny Him
He came down and met His own standards
His own commandments, and laws
But man we are flawed, none of us could stand since the fall
But His plan was to call, He who answered was called
A son, when you come all your sins are dissolved
Yep I'm in awe cause I'm sick of my sin
But since we been bought we've forgiven through Him
A great family, we in it's crazy
The road that we travel is slimmer than Shady
Hook:
Ah what a relief it is
To be in Christ, He's the life that we need to live
What a relief it is to be in Jesus
What a relief it is to rest in you
Verse 2:
Ah what a relief it is
To be in Christ He's the life that I need to live
I'm blown away when I peek at the deeds He did
I'm quite speechless, He's more than Easter His
Great advent destroyed the works of the demons and evil prince
Let His deeds convince
Seen by some as a great man who teaches sense
And good morals, but please don't be content
With that reading of Jesus, He was sent
He made legions and seas repent, anyone's weak
People are feeble, with evil bents
Name stuff, all things they sit at the Son's feet
The wage we earned was lethal hence
The death He had to die, wrath satisfied
Now believers are righteous in the legal sense
Justified by His grace, let our deeds convince
Hook
Verse 3:
Ah what a relief it is
To be in Christ He's the life that I need to live
When my life ain't right, gotta peak at His
Take notes, see what true strength and meakness is
He lived the we couldn't, cause we rebel
We so sinful, and we let them deeds prevail
But even if we tried, to seek Him in our lives
We can't, we weak and we need Him to provide
Just look at our corruption there's a clear problem
The raping, the robbing to God it's disgusting
The lust and the pride can't just be covered up
With a bunch of other stuff we must trust Him
I praise Him that we did, some was bumping in the club
Others was toting a pump and running with them thugs
But look at us now we ain't running with them bloods
If you see some red on us it's cause we covered in His blood

Verse 1:
I thought you already knew bruh
Christ switched the rules up
Dudes were tripping when they got a glimpse of truth the
Moves that made was insane, His crew of
Disciples, would later write it in the Bible the news of
Jesus, the Word, but it seemed too absurd
The majestic, in flesh with those He breathed from the Earth
Now we've seen the Father clearer than we'd seen Him at first
In His Son, He's the one, it was seen in His works
The disciples had seen those days
He said peace be still and the sea obeyed I'm so amazed
They was attached to the King, ok
But now He's telling them that soon He'll have to relocate
Oh no, but that's no reason to grumble, complain
In His name because He'll send another one of the same
Another paraclete, comforter, advocate, teacher
The helper, the one we have to get to get Jesus
He's coming, it ain't like He ain't capable of nothing
He'll convict the world of sin righteousness and judgment
Plus there was much more to say, that He left out of the discussion
But left it for the one who was coming
Cause would guide them into truth, He would glorify the Christ
He'd reveal to them dudes, about the Lord who died for life
So they need not sleep on the divinity
Of God the 3rd person of the trinity, the Spirit
Hook:
Behold the Spirit, He is One with our Maker
Don't sleep (Don't sleep), He's the way the men meet the Savior (He's God)
Behold the Spirit, He's eternal and everlasting
Don't sleep (Don't sleep), He's the way the men meet the Master (He's God)
Verse 2:
Please let me speak on, person number 3 homes
The one up in the trinity that most people sleep on
But how could that be, you can't deny that they're one
He has the same divine attributes as the Father and Son
Many mistake His work and try say He ain't a person
That's crazy, sounds to me like it's some false teaching lurking
I'm assured that He's a person, don't stay asleep I'm burning
Inside to tell you bout His personality and workings
He's eternal, proceeding from the Father
He has no beginning, that's prolly cause He's God bruh
Hovers over the water, He worked within creation
He always been without flaw He is perfect and amazing
In the Old Testament, He was work at in God's people
In Moses for example, that's the man that He would speak through
And these dudes, Joshua, Gideon, and Samson
Who granted Him the great strength? Yes the Holy Phantom
Plus the prophets, who told cats the lamb would be coming
Did it by the Spirit, now here of the planned King's coming
He was conceived by the Spirit, anointed and filled
He was led by the Spirit, and each time that He healed
It was by Him, as well as Him resisting temptation
He did it all by the Spirit, not to mention His raising
Don't be a fool and sleep on the divinity
Of God the third person of the trinity
Hook
Verse 3:
How does the Spirit work now? I could go on for days
But I'll just give you a little bit and speak on some ways
He came as Christ told, with new work on the Earth
In Acts 2 at Pentecost peep the birth of the church
The holy text that we read, was revealed by Him
God breathed, and we can see that it's real by Him
He illuminates it to, enables us to see
He's how you can say it's true, we enabled to believe
By His work, He regenerates though we depraved and thieves
He rebirths us, let's praise Him the slaves are freed
He's the Spirit of promise, He's the Spirit of truth
You've been delivered from bondage, you will experience fruit
He makes us want to seek Him, He leads us to Jesus
He teaches, plus He intercedes for believers
It seems that, hey most folks they are tripping
Cause His name's been marred by much emotionalism
The mark of His work isn't yelling and confusion
It's fruit like we see in the text, and it's through Him
Be content with His revealing, the Bible is closed
His revelation is sufficient so abide in the scroll
Many act crazy and and say it's Him, but hear this
If don't match His Word, then it's not of the Spirit
So be amazed and in awe of His divinity
He's God, the third person of the trinity, the Spirit

Verse 1:
They amazed at how we living for Him bro, they tripping when we show
That He's so superior that's why we pick Him over dough
We don't need anything in addition to Him bro
He's sufficient for us Christians if you with Him then you know
That's why we hedonists, you need to listen to the flow
On top of the beat and rhythm, we forgiven so we go
In pursuit of He who's risen the beginning of it bro
He's the gem the streets are missing but we get Him that's fa sho
That's too great, we too glad to have Him
The true facts, dude that's true satisfaction
Dudes ask, why you chase Christ instead of status?
Because He's steady plus what I'm getting is everlasting
We used to chase after dimes, that was great they was fine
In the face, in the waist, the mistake we was trying
To find true pleasure minus faith in the divine
We was lying to ourselves, now we chasing the vine
Hook:
Them cats they try to gain but they won't be
Satisfied with the gain that they gon see
Them cats should try to seek Him cause I know the Lord
Satisfies beyond anything we'd hope for
Verse 2:
The motto of the culture is touch me and tease me, rush to the easy
Things that seem pleasing like lust and the breezies
Seek the plush, eat it up, I would feed me
But it wasn't much plus it would flee me
So I changed what I was chasing it switched from chicks
To the King He replaced em
Now I hit the script to embrace Him I'm changing
Sins seem less appealing when I get the real thing
I race to erase them
Forget about the cash, not simply because not a cent of it will last
But its missing what He has
It's trivial if its mission isn't living with my dad
Getting intimate with Him living for Him instead of trash
Now I'm driven by the fact as I strive to win
That He's glorified in me when I'm satisfied in Him
If I miss it then that's wack keep my eyes on Him
And I get it on the track I run hard to Him
Hook
Verse 3:
Now my life is the pursuit, of delighting in His truth
In His person, His works yeah I'm fighting for this fruit
Of His light in my life its me striving to be like Him
Remember Him like the Titans, I'm dying to be renewed
Don't get it twisted like I am the reason to
Run forward to the throne, no the lion is in my view
He's shown to be glorious, when shown to be more to us
Than anything in sight pray our idols will be removed
It doesn't show the Lord's beauty, when I treat Him as duty
A God who doesn't truly, inside please or move me
So I reach for the truth He's my God a precious ruby
More entertaining than movies, greater than chasing hoochies
And when I forget I gotta take in the view we
Dive in His Word just to gaze at His beauty
And I really hope guys get the picture
True satisfactions in the God of the scriptures
Hook
Bridge:
Say I'm a hedonist I seek my pleasure
Not in sex nope He's much better
Not in wealth nah He's my treasure
Pursuing anything else will just upset you
Say I'm a hedonist I seek my pleasure
Not in sex nope He's much better
Not in wealth nah He's my treasure
My King offers me satisfaction beyond measure

Verse 1 - Trip Lee:
Set the scene, in the beginning was God
He was holy, glorious and He was wise
If anyone tries, to question His power
Tell them cowards, you really don't buy it
He's really so fly, He don't need no assistance
He made everything spoke it into existence
Creation listened, with no resistance
What kinda powerful God is this?
I'm tripping sometimes I stop and just gaze
I'm so amazed that He made this in 6 days
Made land, made man, but man made a mistake
Men ate fruit now we all in a sin state
But don't think He's no match for the serpent He
Smashes His adversaries, laughs at adversity
They plan, they scam, but they ain't got a good fate
The seed of the woman will smash on the serpent's seed
Time goes, guys grow mo and mo sin filled
God grows, tired though, He's hatred for their sin builds
Because they lacked great faith and love
God showed that He reigned with a flood
He showed His hatred for sin that sits in mens hearts
And the grace He extends to men on His ark
He's amazing man, His great works are a testimony to His person
And I'm so blessed He knows me
Hook:
Come close, tell me what do you see?
It's God and that's something to see
You wanna know who the boss is?
Flip through His narrative, switch through His character
Come close, tell me what do you see?
It's God and that's something to see
You wanna know who the boss is?
Take a look at His works you can see ID
Verse 2 - Flame:
Aye Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph in the hands of Yahweh how they showed us/How raw our God is never say no/ ask Pharaoh let go my people like ego/ they know who so parted the Red Seas//plans to redeem through Abraham's seed/ Here comes another parting through the Jordan waters/ God is such an artist should be askin' for His auto-graph/this ain't the half my brother/that God reveals like pealing the covers/back His attributes and acts/that we will see when we go in OT/but-what I aint talkin' bout overtime/the Old Testament see the plagues and pestilence/that reveals how holy God is/so much so that even armies had to bow down/look at Jericho the walls had to let em go/who can tell Him no dawg betta let em know who can stay afloat when God got the levees broke/see for His glory/it will get gory/yet at the same time the same God of Jacob/the same God of Joseph and Caleb/Can take a sinner man and make em a nation/make laws just to show off His power and patients
Hook
Verse 3 - Sho Baraka:
Let the Gospels introduce you to the Lamb and the light
In Revelation He returns as the Lion with the might
He runs the urban jungle crushed my burden to the law
Took a bite out of sin/ Got death in His claw
He demonstrates his power over death, sickness
Over Nature, over evil over time and distance
All power is in his hand, when they thought he was ruined
But he rose from the grave like "How you doing"
He established the church and working hard like adrenaline
But Satan and the world they want to pump us with Ritalin
Gotta keep running whether in your bapes or timberland
Perseverance of the saints, baby there is no giving in
Now the Holy Spirit provides gifts for the church
So we can build one another and complete his works
What does this say about Jehovah, He so consistent
Man falls man repents man is freed from his prison
All by His power, through His mercy and His grace
So man will stop worshiping self and seek his face
We live the great commandment then do the great commission
So we see 20/20, continue the family business

I know His Grace is amazing face it
ain't another like our God
from the foundation's, placements,
nations, they've been place underneath
his rod oh my God, your're the one
worth the praise so bump the peso,
cause you say so I keep your ways in
front of me until my days go so they
have the women they can keep the queso..hey ya'll
that's why we don't roll wit' the drama
don't get drunk, don't roll marijuana not
because hell's hot like the coals in
a sauna but we love God and we go where
he wanna Himself, the best gift He could
ever give who can take a set of kids
trippin' off a sedatives give them the grace
that pays their eternal deficit now we enjoy
God and all of His Preeminence
Chorus
Because of who He is
if I was worth dying for,
yes this God's is worth living for (because of who He is)
He makes me want to give Him more and more, so I
Take my body and use it for the glory of God
That's why I pray every day,
gotta pick up my cross,
search for the lost,
no matter the cost...
He reigns over all, its plain since
the fall, our brains don't recall
Who He is His name's over all, His
aim is for all to remain in awe as they
see his beauty man is truly crazy, dude He's
grand His truth is great we dudes should
stand and truly praise the beautiful Lamb
the bruised him greatly his life was the cost,
He died on the cross He died for the lost, we
know that So we ride for the Boss, His High
we exalt, this Christ in our thoughts, can't
hold back Exalt him up in our actions too we
crack them Johnny macs and cruise the facts,
we grab His Active Truth, we happy when Dad's in our view....
Tell me, who you know can control the globe
walk in His Holy Home, walk down a lowly road,
Roll where the stones get thrown at ya dome
cuz you made it known you're the Son of God
on the throne he deserves more, this is why we flow
not that we could ever pay him back what we owe but,
if we don't flow then we might as well go and let the
whole world know he is God all alone...
His gracious, great, He's way too good,
cant believe He made us kids no righteousness
in the place we stood, so He died and He gave
us His..you might wonder why we live that bro,
we ain't just try'n live by some principles, we
love Him can't get enough of Him, so that's the God
we living for...

Oh Lord, I'm so amazed when I dig up in Your Scripture
Focused and trying to get You, hoping to get a picture
Of who You are, true You are, Holy hoping I miss You
When I get away and I miss a day spending it with You
That's foolish, I hope to know You and be a student
And learn Your Holy ways all my days with no excuses
Ooh its such a privilege to know the God that moves and
Soothes this wretched soul, it was cold but he renewed it
And when I look at the Psalms I just pause
Got me dropping my jaw, its clear You got 'em in awe
And we can see that they yearning for Your person
Panting after You, and their passion for You is burning
I'm trying to pursue You 'cause You precious as a pearl
More than I did with them girls, I used to mess with in the world
Relentless in my pursuit, I surrender it all to You
And I pray You draw me closer in intimate time with You
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
It's way too many times, I'm staying off on the grind
In other areas and I bury You in my mind
Then my life starts getting terrible, scarier and I find
Myself trying to get near to You, but You was here all the time
But I was having my share of affairs with things You designed
Kind of like a bad marriage, it's scary it's like I'm blind
And I'm praying You'd help me, hold me, and make me focus
I know that when I'm lacking You I'm more than hopeless
Mold this wicked heart to delight in Your precious person
Fighting, confessing, searching for Christ and lessons for learning
It ain't even nothing good in me that I might show You
But I can see that eternal life's that I might know You
I want to know You, be close to the God who saved me
And raised me, I pray we can be much closer
And I- I can embrace the beautiful life that You gave me
I count it all loss, Lord, that I might know ya
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
I'm longing for Your endless love
The knowledge of who You are
The truth that lies within Your Word
Show my heart who You are
Truly I can't wait 'til this flesh is removed
And I'm forever with You, sin's mess is removed
Then there's nothing in the way, there's none better than You
To ignore that I'm more wack, this fella's a fool
You so mysterious, I read about You see I
I am so in awe of You, I'm all for You, You truly fly
The truth is I'm in love with You and hope that You see I
Would like to see You and I in U-N-I-T-Y
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
There's a longing for Your love
Not just a moment, intimate touch
Lord bring me closely
Intimately
So to show me
Who You are
and to fill my cup, Lord
Lord bring me closely
Intimately
So to show me
Who You are
and to fill my cup, Lord
Just a lil bit more
I need a lil bit more
Na-na-na-na
Just a lil bit more
I need a lil bit more
Na-na-na-na
I need, I need more and more
More and more

There is a young girl
up in her teenage years
Up in the world thriving with teenage peers
She's popular
but there is one thing to be made clear
Low self esteem was the reason for her teenage tears
She thought she wasn't pretty enough
Or cool as the next chick
Wasn't skinny enough
So dudes she would mess with
So they would be chillin with her
And she'd feel accepted
And in the end what up she still get rejected
She couldn't really see seeking the Lord
But thought she could find peace
in an eating disorder
Everytime she loose 10
and said just 10 more
But her friends all confused
like what you doing this for huh
Started to cling to this foolish disorder
Figured it's all she had
If the students ignored her
Dag I'm praying for my sister
That she would cling to the God
That can save and deliver
I'm praying for my sister
That she would cling to the God
that can save and deliver
True security is found in Christ
He will never leave you
He's down and around for life

There's a young dude up in his teenage years
Huggin a black grafitter
With his teenage peers
He still does it
One thing to be made clear
Not be the down with the rest
is his Teenage fears
And where he come from
Selling work aint that crazy
It's few kats his age that ain't had babies
All he wants to do lay around
And hang out crazy
maybe smoke something drank
got his vision hazy
Plus he just got the new Jeezy cd
Wanna be like the D boys he see on TV
Heard of church but aint got a suit that's 3 piece
So he think that it just aint for him
some girls down the block
want a date from him
A decade down the road his baby will be ten
He'll be locked up
I am praying for my brother
that he would cling to God
that can save when we suffer

Another young one up in they teenage years
Put on a pedestal
above all they teenage peers
Father's a Pastor
One thing he made clear we serve Christ
But daddy couldn't see their tears
See they felt insufficient
Like they could not match up to dad
No matter how much good they stacked
Like they was failing
every single test they faced
And felt like satan next to their expectations
Suicidal thoughts went through their brain
They dreams of killing myself
Didn't realize Christ is perfect in our weakness
So they tried to hide it
like they life was sweetness
Frontin in front of fam even quotin scripture
Just couldn't understand
he who wrote the scripture
Dag I am praying for my Family
That we would realize he died
So guys would have a plan b
I am praying for my sisters
That they would cling to the God
Who can save and deliver
True Security is found in Christ
He will never leave you

True Security is found in Christ
He will never leave you
he is down and around for life

So guys would have a plan b
True Security is found in Christ
He will never leave you
he is down and around for life
Yeah I'm praying for my family
That we would realize
That he died so guys would have a plan b
True security is found in Christ
He will never leave you
he is down and around for life
Speaking part
Yeah True Security is found in Christ
You don't have to search for it in ourselves
Or in that dude or in that female
Or acceptance from men
True security is found in Jesus Christ
The only place to find it
Praise the Lord that he died
And we can come to him
Find our security in him
Find our everything in him
Only in Christ

Verse 1:
Good evening brethren, let's go a special direction
Look back, let's meet a young'n that was born in 87
His parents was so happy, rejoicing at they new blessing
He breathes life, at the same time death without a question
His parents gazed in his eyes, adoring him as he hollers
He got his eyes from his mama, he got his nose from his father
Its crazy how this baby, is so precious but I'm saddened
He got his name from grandfather, his depravity from Adam
That's how it goes and hey look as he grows
You can see he's so blind, his eyes seem as they closed
He's so weak and it shows, he can't keep from what He knows
Is wrong, he knows it's bad but dag he wants it though
And all throughout his years, he looks good to his peers
And his parents, and his self but if we could only peer
On the inside, we'd see that from the start it was dark
Until a Savior stepped in and gave Him a new heart, eyes opened!
Hook:
I know I once was blind, Oh Lord but now I see
You sent your Son from above to come and rescue me
He's the light of the world, maker of you and me
His Spirit shines so bright for all of us to see
Now that my vision's clear, Oh Lord we sing your praise
And pray that those in the world would turn and seek your face
Father we thank you for eyes to see so we can know you and love you forever
So that we can love you forever (2X)
Verse 2:
Yeah I was blinded in the past, like my mind was in the trash
Incapable of doing good or even finding him the task
Was beyond what I could grasp, my righteousness is rags
So He had to do all the work, by His design you do the math
The math, who get's the glory, hey who get's the praise?
Predestined, I was elected, resurrected from the grave
Plus His loved was never based on my past or present state
On anything that I obtained I was a mess but blessed with grace
By grace, I'm in love with Him
He gave me something within
He doesn't love me cause of me nope He loves me because of Him
No He didn't have to save and raise me when I was dead
But He dragged me out the morgue, now the praise of His name is spread
He died for all He would save, it's crazy the Savior bled
Erasing taking my dread, and gave me some grace instead
The kind I wouldn't resist, I came praise be to Him
And I'm confident if I'm in Him Ima make it to the end with eyes open
Hook
Now that my eyes is open, gotta keep that Bible open
Not just so that I can quote Him, I'm hopin that I'll behold Him
Until I lay in the grave, I'm praying I'll stay in motion
Gazing with eyes of faith He gave me baby, I'm focused
I'm praying all through my 20's I'll see Him in 20/20
Looking at Him till I look like Him almost like His twin He's
So merciful, His Word is so packed I'm telling many
About the glory of Christ, tryna rep Him with all that's in me
Hook
