1.I'm A Believer
Let's tell 'em!
I'm a believer hey
We gotta let them know
Hey to all GODS people
I'm a believer!!
This right here don't make no sense
You ain't gotta guess baby that I'm His
Crucified, died, now alive in Him
I done put my faith in Him hommie till the end
Now the new life, I live in Christ
It's because of Him, ya boy shines so bright
You can keep the ring and the chains and the ice
Cams main campaign ain't to pop champagne, that's lame, no game
Hommie I rep Christ
You can peep my lyrics and the way that I write
I surrendered everything, even my rights
I count it all lost just so I can know Christ
Or better yet baby just so that He can know me as a son coming
home from prodigal to free
Free from my sin that's the end of my grief
I'm a believer so best believe this is me
Even at the cross Jesus took my place
He didn't deserve it, I guess that's what we call faith
I did deserve it, I guess that's what you call grace
He did it for certain and guaranteed my place in Him and then
seated me on high
In the end baby i'll be caught up in the sky on a dime, in the
twinkling of an eye, i'll be found in the air with my savior
Jesus Christ
I'm a believer
I'm a believer no doubt
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer hear me out
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer yeah yeah
He came into my life and I never thought twice
He's all that I have and I'm willing to fight
I stare at them like.. I'm a believer
Some might know me as a rapper some might know me as a southern
dude
Others as a black man, but first I got another crew
Ever since I heard the Gospel message how the Son was bruised,
I got a new identity, it's like your boy's another dude
We ain't undercover brother, come and see us trust the Truths
that we stand under brother, other things adjust and move
Some say we dumb for trusting Christ, they say we just some
fools, but you can check His grave if you want it proved, ooh
We ain't perfect at all nah
We recognize this life's hard
The difference is instead of drowning, we trust the Life Guard
We fight hard, but with the right perspective as we walk this
Christ, He works in us like an office, so I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer no doubt
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer hear me out
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer yeah yeah
So in the end, hey this is me
I ain't that cat that you seen on TV
I ain't that rapper, model, actor, baller, none of them defines
me
I'm a believer, known to the One that exist in three
Co-heir to the kingdom, this means I'm the King's son, partner,
that's what defines me
Identity crucified, choose to die, now the life that I live,
not I
But it's this flesh, He laid to rest, through faith, I live by
Christ
(Trip Lee)
I'm quite sure your mama told you not trust just anybody
But tell me who is like the Lord？ Not anybody
I took a look at Him in the Scriptures, this really got me
He keeps His promises, even though cats be living sloppy
Look at His love, and His grace, and His just mercy
I was dirty, till I trusted Him who's trustworthy
I'm a believer
I'm a believer no doubt
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer hear me out
I'm a believer yeah
I'm a believer yeah yeah
2.Fresh
Verse 1：
Yes, on a permanent team
You can say I'm fresh to death, I'm eternally clean
Used to walk to by own beat of drum
Internal instinct
But went from enemy to intimacy, I been redeemed
Through the cross and now I floss in His Paternal Regime
No more living single its like I done turned on Regine
In the body I got it wha-what fraternity means
He prevailed my hell so there will be no burning of me
So keep the urn and the wreath cause I'll return to the king
Accepted fully cause of the crosses conversion of me
So if I flex it ain't in flesh He bore my burden for me
And baby when I say I'm fresh
Its cause He birthed a new me
Hook：
I'm Fresh not because my swagger right
not be-not because not be-not because my swagger right
I'm Fresh cause He came and took the cross
I can't floss unless my boast is in the cross
I'm Fresh
Verse 2：
I'm fresh baby, cause of Adam #2
Crucified with Him and by faith man He made me brand new
Point two the cross was powerful in changing my view
Regenerate, all my boys say I'm acting brand new
And its true so true cause I'm not what I used to be
Somehow I got this boost in me
Truthfully, I'm not used to me
Please believe me I'm humble but in Christ I can boast
See it's grace through faith that's got ya boy so cold
So cold, and I ain't trying to be cocky
No confidence in compliments, I know that's opposite godly
See conceit is not my stronghold confidence is strong though
Trust on high, and I don't mean that Cheech and Chong smoke
Hook
Verse 3：
To some this makes no sense but to others its krunk
So dawg I pray to God you feel this like them subs in ya trunk
Not just the beat although I know its got you moving ya body
But the message in this song it should be moving the body
Point 1, I'm elected and redeemed
Point two cause I got a new position, I'm fresh, so clean
Point three I'm the-I'm the best me that can be
I'm in His image so some sinner may just happen to see
That life is wasted if you shape it in the form of yourself
Or someone else besides the Son, the One who's form is this
shell
So I'm reflecting your glory LORD
Man that's who I'm living for
Jesus is LORD so I ain't gotta please you
3.Thank You
I see kids Wildon' out the pops was out i see it like a flash
back
The empty life know in Christ I finally got my dad back
God was that he snatched me back
He got me off that fast track of chasing dreams and mannish
things
Like power pleasure and respect
Taught me that a selfish view
Never was a healthy view
Here's some help for you who struggle too living past that
Selfish gain or selfless aim hey baby they gone clash back
Worldly wisdom or scripture it aint but one that has facts
Tried it all, all alone but found that I was handicapped
Strength I lacked abused by this world you can have it back
See the fact remains I was changed when I heard his name
I know he's real and I'll never be the same
Hook (G.P)
I'm in love with one hand in the sky
I'm looking at the cross with both my eyes
I know I was born into sin but now i'm in christ yes i'm born to
win
I know I know that Jesus lives
And I know I know he is my king
And that's why that's why I'll always sing (JESUS)
Thank you for saving my life
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh(3x)(HEY) thank you for saving my life
See with us it's evident most of us we hope I know to get inside
We expect to be in heaven but baby we gotta die
Die physically and inwardly but some men will be foolish in
their ways
And trust they selves continually
Growing in they pride eyes closed so they can't see
Walking blind all the time too arrogant to see their need
I can hear the preacher preach reaching out to you and me
Begging us to look to Jesus and no longer be deceived
Ci-Ci Cieved by the enemy
Or the sin in me that says to be sufficient independently
I'm so glad to be waling in the straight and narrow
I know God got me if his eye is on the sparrow
I'm in love with one hand in the sky
I'm looking at the cross with both my eyes
I know I was born into sin but know I'm in Christ I'm born to
win
I know I know that Jesus lives
And I know I know that he is my king
That's why, that's why I'll always sing (JESUS)
Thank you for saving my life
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh(3x) (HEY)
Thank you for saving my life
So from the newest life, the truest life I know
That he's real from the changes in my stride to the way that I
feel
Somethin' different you sense it even momma was trippin'
Wondering like alice asking me what's gotten into you
I said JESUS is real (HEEEEY) this ain't just a religion
I done tried to practice habbits but man nothin' was sticking
But his love and his joy and the peace that he brings
Man was dead on sin till Jesus cam on the scene
Now it's a wrap for ya boy no more quiet on the set
I tellin' everyone I know I ain't ashamed to represent
I love him no one above him I'll forever worship
Hands to the sky as show my love to him (SING)
UH-OH-UH-OH-UH-OH-UH-OH(3x)
Jesus thankyou for saving my life
I'm in love with one hand in the sky
I'm looking at the cross with both my eyes
I know I was born into sin but now I'm in Christ yes I'm born to
win
I know I know that Jesus lives
And I know I know He is my king
And that's why that's why I'll always sing (JESUS)
Than you for saving my life
Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh(3x) (HEY)
Than you for saving my life
4.All I Need
Intro：
I see You're all I need Father God I see you're all I need (All
I need)
God, God you're all I need to tell the truth LORD you're all I
need (All I need)
Verse 1 (Tedashii)：
They said I was going crazy on the campus when You saved me
Cause I stopped partying, chasing all the ladies
And they told me I was loosing it calling me a lunatic
Because, for you, that world; I told them I was through with it
Man I heard the rumors calling me a joke
I'm praying saying, I wish they knew what I know
Cause if they did they would see, how you were meant to be
Much more than the god of emergencies
You're the God that elected me chose, and selected me
When nobody else would mess with me
Never neglected me you even loved me when you corrected me
Hands down you're the best to me
I spent years of my life trying to be liked or be like the
people who seemed to be liked
Following the crowd, trying to be allowed Into a world where
every thing seemed right
But,
Hook (Chris Davis)：
I wrote this song to tell you LORD you're all I need (You're All
I Need)
(God) And I know you'll never fail me LORD you're all I need
And when the time gets crazy and my vision gets hazy Father
You're all I need (You're all I need)
When my life needs saving or the world starts to cave in around
me you're all I need (You're all I need, You're all I need)
Verse 2 (Tedashii)：
From saving me to raising me, shaping me and changing me
Embracing me, taking me, making me yours
Amazingly and graciously when I was lost and wavering
Couldn't get from A to B you opened the door
I deserved to be left there in distress with the rest there
Right there in my mess yeah
Still believing all the lies the world can satisfy
I almost died, pushing you to the side
What a fool, making crazy moves about to lose, all I had for a
buzz and a thrill
We too easily satisfied and that's just how Adam died, He was in
the place where the love wasn't real
But the more I get to know You the more I get to know truth
And through you I see who I am
My identity revealed as you show me how to live, through the
example of the God-man
That's why,
Hook (Chris Davis)：
I wrote this song to tell you LORD you're all I need (You're All
I Need)
(God) And I know you'll never fail me LORD You're all I need
And when the time gets crazy and my vision gets hazy Father
You're all I need (You're all I need)
When my life needs saving or the world starts to cave in around
me you're all I need (You're all I need, You're all I need)
Outro (Tedashii)：
You're all I need Father God I see you're all I need (All I
need)
God, God you're all I need to tell the truth LORD you're all I
need (All I need)
And when the time gets crazy and my vision gets hazy Father
You're all I need (You're all I need)
When my life needs saving or the world starts to cave in around
me you're all I need (all I need)
5.Identity 3： The Church
Hook 1 (Rick Trotter)：
(Go Through the Motions)
Steppin' in and I'm checkin' out the scene,
Fresh pressed, creased out, man you know yo' boy be clean
(clean);
Hand claps, toe tappin' while the choir raise a song,
Folks shoutin' now the reverend's up you know it won't be long
Passa holler bout a hour and I'm thankin' bout the game
People peepin at the clock (whoop) every Sunday it's the same
Alter call, preacher's hoopin', church open up the doors
Leave a tip then I dip, next week I'm back fo' mo'
Church!
Verse 1 (Tedashii)：
Steppin' out the house so fresh, clean
Tailored suites and gator boots Italian names in the inseam
summer heat encumber teens, forced to wear them pants with
pleats
Sunday morning uniform like we soldiers, like Marines
off to Sunday School with mama 'nem like it was a job for them
I'd hear the same Word but different meanings like with homonyms
time and time again cause I'm praying that the time would end
man Saturday must be my crime my Sunday's doing time again
you feel me man, I know you do some of y'all still going through
most of us just learn the motions just so we can make it though
I mean, no one ever showed us how this thing was vital for life
and that the church was not a building but the body of the
Christ
Dialogue (Jacki Walker)：
Man, you hear that？
Did you hear that？
It's so dope.
But we just don't get it.
Something this good......man.
Hook 2 (Rick Trotter)：
(Go through the motions)
Same time each week
Jesus must know me
'Cause I'm heatin' up a seat
In the church, church
(Sunrise, eleven thirty
You can be late but don't leave early)
(Go through the motions)
The Devil is a hater
He can't touch me
'Cause I'm blessed and highly favored
Church, church
(I've got to be in that place
Sunday I'm go'n show my face in the church)
Spoken Word (Ron Surgeon)：
The Church, chosen in Christ in eternity.
The Church is not a building, it's breathing.
Maturing Christians in communal living, helping babes that are
teething.
You can have perfect attendance in the seat of the building and
not be apart of this.
You can attend the building and not be apart of the body of
Christ... it's obvious.
I'm blessed and highly favored and because of this Jesus Christ
is blessed and highly treasured. The greatest gift that God
could give is God... so see and savor Him!
6.Community
Verse 1 (Stephen the Levite)：
I remember before my church started a season that I called the
darkness
saved but still living in bondage not know the problem was not
just my pride and lust, but that life was so autonomous
but at Epiphany I had an epiphany realizing community was the
way it was meant to be
WHY？ In the beginning He who gave us identity was, eternally,
co-existing as the Trinity
Saying it's not good for man to be alone it's impossible for him
to model us on his own
He gave man a companion not a clone commanding reproduction,
expansion, and a throne
And now the new Adam is starting it all over sparking it with
bride who glorifies Jehovah
Submit you wanna know who you are then know your role cuz your
ID's in Christ and Christ is part of a whole bruh
Hook：
Back back them church boys are back oh!
That's that the new life is that oh!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back oh!
Live in community walk in community
Back back them church boys are back hey!
That's that the new life is that hey!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back hey!
Live in community walk in community
Verse 2 (Sho Baraka)：
Before Real Talk were Ambassadors chopping
up that milk and meat, having all things in common
before church planting was an option
before the albums start dropping
we were in community stomping
patience with your boy when I was loud and obnoxious
before I turned my life up in at a concert
Before I learned the truth over nonsense
Before I hit a stage they were caution
Accountability, yeah awesome not produce a man selfish or
pompous
Know the process of Learning the scriptures in its context
Bible study sometime it made me nauseous
But know I never grow sick of spitting up those synoptics
Constantly keeping others upon my conscious
Being honest not just robbing them of their knowledge
Promise to serve one another in righteous conduct
Its common sense I'm something like a communist.
Hook：
Back back them church boys are back oh!
That's that the new life is that oh!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back oh!
Live in community walk in community
Back back them church boys are back hey!
That's that the new life is that hey!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back hey!
Live in community walk in community
Verse 3 (Tedashii)：
Give me a sec just to put it in perspect
He's God and He deserves more than just your check
He deserves your breath every one you'll ever get
We deserve death something (by grace) we'll never get
So, hands , devoted , cause He rose and beat death
We could be right handed but we all went left
See in order to redeem me He gave up Himself
So I'm laying on the alter till they lay me to rest
What you expect man we give God our best Plus,
Knowing Him, is how we know our, self So,
We learn of Him in the way that He set
Up, so we can get it Christian fellowship
As I imitate God and conform more to Christ
In the bond of community I look more like
Him (Him), Him (Him), and the image I was meant to have
Praise God for the Church showing me just me who I am
Hook：
Back back them church boys are back oh!
That's that the new life is that oh!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back oh!
Live in community walk in community
Back back them church boys are back hey!
That's that the new life is that hey!
FOTU with my crew till He comes back hey!
Live in community walk in community
7.Identity Crisis Intro
OH MY GOOOODNEEES HEY, HEY
Hey baby, lets get it
It's been a minute but no worries folk I'm still in it
I'm still with it I ain't going no where
I'm a still be standing right here even if they say they don't
care
Now What's Up (what's uuuuup)
Hey mane I'll tell you what's up
Man sinned and sinned and in the end now our image's messed up
And (and) Identity's damaged happened all over the planet
Not lost, but sure is blemished now how we see is scrambled
But God,
Being rich, in mercy, gave me living water when he saw that I
was thirsty
And I came (and I came) to the cross (to the cross) for the Lord
and it ended my searching
I was lost (I was lost) in a maze (in a maze) until His amazing
grace (yeah)
And I got to the truth, and I found out what to do I need to
live by faith (yeah)
So I'm a work, like I'm pushing the cane never giving in or
giving up I'm all in this thang
Giving everything I got, just to see who I am on the cool lil'
buddy, I ain't playing no games
People trippin and they thinking that they life is straight
Seeking peace while they saying that their life is great
Steady looking for the answer with no words to say
One clue plus proof, it's the Imago Dei,
uh-uuh, the Imago Dei
Imago Dei (8x's repeat)
8.Work
Hook：
I Work and I Press and I do everything I can just trying to give
these folks my best
I Sweat and I Grind I used to try but learned that I can't
please these people all the time
(Repeat 2x's)
Verse 1：
Hey, what's happening hommie hey, hey, whaitdew mane
Don't know bout you but I'm working trying to keep pressing mane
In life with rhymes I fight with people pleasing
That's trife, this time I'm fighting to please Jesus
I'm done with it dog all the lying and masquerading
The fronting and the faking I hate it, life feels so vacant
I used to let 'em make it even if it got blatant
No matter how flagrant, I'd let it slide like stealing bases
But now I finally get it so I aint ever quitting
I can't be passive, inactive like players that's been injured
Far from it been hurt, been even knocked off my feet
But I'm in Christ, and I want life like its suppose to be
Hook
Verse 2：
When I ain't know, who I was everyday I wasted life
Pagan days of people pleasing cause I wasn't chasing Christ
Worried bout the he say she say I'd repeat it like a replay
I was chasing their approval like a runner in a relay (GO)
I was believing that if I got it no-doubt it'd be all good
But even if I got it somehow it would fall through
I tried to keep standing living by a weak standard
Believing even Jesus received me based on my weak merits
Lies from the pit lies I won't forget
Lies that ruin lives and keep you blind to who you is
Sinner saved by grace through faith for Jesus sake
So what you have count as loss as we press to see His face
Hook
Verse 3：
Every Christians on the track but are we focused like a skope
Or are we racing never pacing are we running to the goal
Upward (upward) calling (calling) full in (full in) knowledge
(knowledge)
Nothing hollow like the lotto true rewards from God the Father
Well we should be no matter what they say, or even throw at us
Keep rolling up, and pressing in and showing folks you rest in
Him
See when it's, all said and done, I wanna, be true in Christ
I wanna, see fruit that's proof to know it's true to life
So look to Him, give up everything to make it to Him
To know Him fully becoming holy as you pursue Him
To all my saints, who know they saved
But know there's more to gain
Keep pressing till the end when we will see Him face to face
9.26's Introduction
(background)
On crome, on crome, on crome
Pretty low throne, low throne, low throne
Brought up in the south
You know you just sit on the porch and watch the world go by
And uh, we see cats riding by looking clean man
Sitting on crome, and riding big boxes and bubbles and domes
You know what Im saying, but,
Something starts to go wrong in your heart man
When you start living for that ride, heh
You start worshiping the ride almost,
You know what Im talking about
You know we call that idolatry man
You feel me
10.26's
Peep it, peep it, oh my God!
Peep these people fiendin (fiendin) to be seen as kings and
leaning in their chromed out cars.
Ridin high, super fly, wood wheel, they grasp it tight!
Lokomotive midnight strollin through Georgia they glad its nyt.
Tippin neon glasses bright!
Switches make the bak take flight,
Lay it down, raise it up, stunting gives them bragging rights.
All this so they swagg is tyt, idolatry for status right？
But they blind to the prison and the image that they living all
this sin from Adam's vice.
All of us we get this, get distorted views of image yea!
Made in God's likeness but despite this, mankind is blemished
yea!
So men chase the fancy cars ridin' on sum fancy bars, all so
they can get respect when cruisin' down the boulevard!
So I grabbed the mic in here, just to bring some light in here!
Flip, flip the scriptures like a switch, to spark this hit,
bring Christ in here!
Since men cant see who they should be,
Ama spit so they can see outside of Christ you bound for life,
A slave to your idolatry!
Self proclaimed kings braggin' 'coz they chromes,
(Singing： they ridin' on chrome, on chrome, on chrome)
But 26 inches is a pretty low throne.
(Singing： a pretty low throne, low throne, low throne)
Twenty six inches, six inches twenty six inches, six inches
Twenty six inches, is a pretty low throne!
(Singing： on chrome, on chrome, on chrome)
Twenty six inches, six inches twenty six inches, six inches
Twenty six inches, is a pretty low throne!
(Singing： low throne, low throne, low throne)
I see you ridin big boy, like Andre and his friend boy!
Got a SUV with the chromed out feet and the seats is ostrich
skin boy!
No that ain't a sin boy, but tell me where it ends though？
Coz that truck don't bring you luck and it sure enuf ain't gon'
pay your sins boy!
Gon' head, worship that tin toy, in the end watch it cramble
like a tin foil.
Is that what you really wanna live 4？ Do you read me dawg？ Is
that 10 to 4？
You spent 10 to 4, On your chrome brah, Jesus still don't know
yah!
U worship that cold steel, and still your heart is coldah!
(brrr)
Can't say we ain't told yah, we told yah like we s'pposed tah!
Them rimz don't deserve that praise, but the 1 that does, hung
like a posta!
U post up, on the block, so the girls they flock, when they see
you ridin' by,
The boys they see you ridin' high, you the one that they admire!
Now if you get jacked, you crush that whip, that'll hurt your
pride, your status stripped!
You thought your car could bless you like it's God？
But no, my father is!
Idolatry, it bothers him, and wen they make some hotter rims,
Your god gets rusty so you change religions, like Madonna did!
They look hard, lyk oh God! And u make 'em say, 'Who dat？'
So you luk hard, lyk u God, all the while u aint really gatta
clue that!
E-ve-rythang (thang) was made for the King of kings (true dat)
Thru the only name higher than every name, u don't get it, u
might maybe wana hoove bak!
Yeah, am tryna tell you Mayne!
Yeah, am tryna warn you dawg!
You can play me to the left, like am dribblin 2 da right, get
defensive, bt sin wil scorn u dawg!
Leave you marred in your vision, all scarred like insions, all
marked lyk in prison, that ain't all dawg!
Pretty soon therz an idle assuming the Lord's, like He's idle,
but He's not, He's jus sawd off!
When it comes (when it comes) to his glory man please believe me
boy, he don't play dat!
This is more (more) than metaphorz, boy this is the truth, so
baby boy, where your faith at？
He should be the only 1 who provides, let alone the only 1 who
can save our lives!
Coz the thngz of this earth shoudn't be placed 1st ova Him the
only1 who gave us His life!
But on the cool (on the cool) it ain't sin (it ain't sin) if you
ride rims (ride rims fly high)
Make it do (make it do) what it do (what it do) but whateva you
do, don't idolize them!
But if you have (if you have) then repent right now, cry out to
Him,
Commandment one demands that none be placed above this God in
here!
11.Hollywood
Verse 1 (Tedashii)：
Remember when we were kids saying things that were did
By me and you but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs
Sippin' on Mr. Pibb playing with neighbors kids
And I front to fall asleep so I could chill at your crib
House parties like play and kid listening to Gangster Nip
Tripping off Ghetto Boys how they mind kept playing tricks
Hide and seek with my sisters friends Tonight like DJ Quick
Natural born sinners slowly loosing our innocence
This was all just the start of it like working with a starter
kit
I went from bad to worse when I saw Cube put on that Starter fit
Pressure started marching in cause all my friends were part it
It seduced me even more like a girl who plays hard to get
'Cool' gave my heart a kiss told me, give my all to this
Did it all so I felt obligated to be part of this
Anything to garner this stardom that was hard to miss
Fartherless, so Hollywood guided, through the dark abyss
Hook (Rozie Turner)：
Stepped in the cineplex just passed the Cinnabon fin to see
what's playing next (yes)
HOLLYWOOD
(HEY) I got my butter and my popcorn my crew is with me and we
feeling like it's not wrong
HOLLYWOOD
Like it's so cool to watch upcoming attractions, blinded by the
distractions Don't be so complacent
with cheap imitations need godly inspiration so we can't replace
it, with HOLLYWOOD
Verse 2 (Tedashii)：
Remember when we were kids saying things that were did
By me and you but too ashamed to admit that th-th-they were fibs
Hooping up at the gym lust had us chasing Kim
Acting hard but riding clean bumping that BoysIIMen
Watching the latest films Quote it and take it in
Lustful flesh had us actin gangsta like Doughboy did
Lived like them boys in the hood but stayed trill
Out the Tre, so you can say I'm Furious Styles kid
My Love Jones was shai but my Justice was Poetic
All I needed was the Juice and then my Blues would be Mo' Better
I would listen to the Preacher's Wife but I'd go back like
Boomerang
My set would Set It Off and we'd be right back in that New Jack
swang
Pride of Life had me like O-Dog and Higher Learning guided me
Momma said Lean On Me but I'm a Menace to Society
All that 'drama' mixed with sinning, the women with them in
linen
Seem to spark a cycle unrivaled and never ending (ending)

Verse 3 (Tedashii)：
I been learning from this teacher, since I was in the nursery
A victim of its preaching cause she said she'd give the world to
me
At least that's what I thought I heard Hollywood was celebrated
She could easily mess up the lines of real and imitation
And like Adam, we ate the fruit of prideful racketeering
Just so we could all see Eve without the leaves and bangled
earrings
It's the lies that they tell you, you start to believe
And if truth is what you make it then you're ready to receive
A slave to the trade sinful ways cause of this artistry
Until I met the One, who was knocking at my hearts entry
Some say He's unattractive when compared to the glitz and glam
But, I was glad to look behind the bush to see a ram
Who set me free from sin, along with false identity
Because until we know the Savior, God is our enemy
So don't let the world and its devices, advise you
Instead trust the truth of the Father found in the bible
12.Identity 1： We Fell
And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
But the LORD God called to the man, and said to him, 'Where are
you？'
His story, meant to be the story
History recorded at the start of every story
Christ lost the culture, all for His glory
To display his power, now fast forward
Let us make men in our likeness and in our image
For his glory, but through sin things got distorted
I get the point when I watch Mory Poravich
I am not the father, man, I have no control of this
Flash black, front side of the tempting
Picture the same cool breeze, sun dipped in
The service led is over, spittin' venom showed 'em
Eve flip flopped like some Japanese zorith
Adam followed suit too, like he had four of these
Hands weeped we fold Satan backdoors these
Identity fades, it exceeds poorly
Not lost, but stained at the cross for His glory
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that
it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be
desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she
also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
With fear and shame, mankind was overtaken
Eyes open wide and they saw they both were naked
Traumatized they flee the scene like a driver that's been
drinkin'
So in leaves as they leave, try and hide amongst the trees
Cuz they hear God comin' and like sinners they start runnin'
Already they confused and how they see God is blury
Feel compel in the runners if they gonna get done in
With ease God speaks as he strolls through the breeze
Seeking man out Asking him Where are You？
Cuz mankind is lost and his vision got marred too
The results of it all, the fall of mankind
God cursed the serpent plus the man in his pride
Picture of the here and now, why people can't hear and now
Rejected by their sin and overwhelmed with the here and now
Created to be in His image, better showin' his glory
Reflectin' to the world 'til the end of His story
13.Make War
I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections,
and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings.
And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this
way？ Make War!
Bang with me ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me
No more playing games mane cause this thang can get risky
So man if you in Christ TAKE UP!! your cross quickly
Stand fearless on the frontline time to come with it
Do the right thing WAKE UP!! and lets get it
I ain't even in the ring they throwing blows like Riddick
Persistently attacking me they're even in the back of me
It's either fight or loose my life and I can't take this
passively
So what you think I'm bout to do I'm bout to do what I can do
Trust the ONE who got me through and fight like it was after
school
Never giving up steady, standing on the battle field
Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on Chapel Hill
Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me
Satan cheers me on guilt followed by conviction
It's the same ol' trap and we fall like we defenseless
Work your senses grow in wisdom stand firm and be relentless
Hook：
I MAKE WAR! Cause sin never sleeps
It's got me in a trance you can see it in my dreams
I MAKE WAR! Man I beat my flesh
To the death every breath like I beat my chest
I MAKE WAR sun up
I MAKE WAR sun down
I MAKE WAR time in
I MAKE WAR time out
I MAKE WAR against lust
Against pride against me until I die
Do you even have a clue
What happened to you when He died
When that tomb got rolled when He rose in the sky
I think we emphasize sin so much
That it makes us paralyzed
And glorify struggle so much
That it makes us terrified
And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our
own lives and thus
God, this ain't never wise
We gotta snap out of it
We ain't in no straight-jacket
We free
When Jesus died in our lives something strange happened
He gave us power
Yeah I know that we sinners but since He rose He's renewing the
image of God in us
Now, we gotta start making war
Now we can start saying no
To them fleshy impulses that Jesus Christ is paying for
Now we can start taking the lead
Just like the Dalai Lama and start going all out like a suicide
bomber
Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder
By His grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no
tomorrow
I'm a Christ representer, fit to stand and deliver
Cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda
So I dropped this on an ADAT just so you could come play back
A hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back
So listen up to it ASAP like you do a Lecrae track
I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap
Sinning, naw we don't play that cause that's the way that a
slave acts
I'm filled with the Spirit so tell them dawg this is pay back
As you begin to copy the carbon copies of Christ
And conform to His written image you should be shinning a light
If you not, why is that？
Is it fear that's been grippin' you cause you scared they'll be
dissin' you
Flipping birds while that spit at you
If you not, why is that？
it don't matter so bump it perfect love cast out fear and He
ain't save us for nothing
his is a privilege (privilege) your life to give to Him (give to
Him)
so stand firm for Him dawg and lets get it in
14.Gotta Believe
Verse 1：
Folks having hard times living in the world so cold life dealt
them cards now people trying hard not to fold pressures their
heart now feels like they bout to explode while feeling down
they asking, 'Is this the life that I chose？' it seems so unfair
man we just trying to survive but its like no one cares we
living life just to die and when I come share that Jesus cares
about your life their heart is hard, they disbelieve and they
filled with too much pride to cry out LORD I surrender my all,
or cry LORD will you answer my call cause this life is not easy
God why I gotta be me it's hard for me to trust cause when I do
somebody leaves me see, life without Christ is not life, it's
daydreaming Day in and Day out I see people sitting, thinking,
drinking tall Day in and Day out I see people sitting, thinking,
drinking tall ounces trying to figure out, why is this the way
the ball bounces
Hook：
Everywhere I go its still the same song everybody ge tting by,
trying to hold on to a life that He gives doubting who is don't
doubt, don't doubt you gotta believe (Repeat 2x's)
Verse 2：
LORD peep the hood child rocking Ones with an ice grill folks
say he should smile his mug's mean cause life is he wants that
good life a caddlac truck with nice rims and the culture says to
get it live like the thugs live a hustlers ambition since the
day he was born I wished it was different is this place really
the norm so when I go witness God's forgiveness seems foreign
and his heart is dark, he disagrees and he's filled with too
much scorn to cry LORD will you take me as I am or cry LORD can
you make me a new man cause this life is so greasy God why I
gotta be me why can't I be that dude I saw rapping on the tv
questions by some who blind to the grace that freed me Day in
and Day out I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall Day in
and Day out I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall ounces
trying to figure out, why is this the way the ball bounces
Hook
Verse 3：
This world is gone pass away so LORD my prayer is they get it
your could probably come back today and a lot of these folks
just might miss it caught up in their worldly ways not knowing
they could change in an instance it just takes faith to get in
this but it's been replaced by religion so cats remain blind
thinking that their works just might save some just stay high
thinking there's no way you would take 'em saying it's a hard
life complaining when I go witness and I ask them, what if God
did this so He could get your attention So you'd cry LORD I
confess and believe or cry, LORD I see it's you that I need
cause change is so hard and life is mean in these streets and it
seems there is no God but see since Adam and Eve mankind is so
lost confused on the path they should walk and so...... Day in
and Day out I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall Day in
and Day out I see people sitting, thinking, drinking tall ounces
trying to figure out, why is this the way the ball bounces

15.Identity 2： Adoption
Hook (Rick Trotter)：
Come and listen to a story that gots to be told
A boy left by his father in a world so cold
Til the good news told him that he had been chose
And this is how the story goes, story goes
Verse 1 (Tedashii)：
Natural born evil to reborn group of people how does He do it
call him-call him the redeemer
there's no equal He's higher than every creature
in heaven or hell, and the earth can't hold Him either
He's so regal out soars every eagle
I'm so impressed with Him I'll be looking for His sequel
His names Jesus in case you missed it here's the prequel
this God-man was the lamb used so God could free us
so here's my thesis through faith we're like a fetus
reborn and adopted through Christ, that's how He sees us
with good reason He embraced us and received us
He guarenteed it even before time had a season
I can't believe it it feels like I'm dreaming
entitled to every right co-heir to the kingdom
it's truly legal God rigged it so we would need Him
He's the father I always wanted, I know He'll never leave me
Verse 2 (Tedashii)：
wheew now here we go truth up in a trilla flow
the word became flesh and then Flesh was fleshed our among us
bro (Jesus)
all knowing Savior the savior straight from the making
that can see inside our hearts to get past the faking
ain't no lying, ain't no cheating, ain't no hiding, he can see
you
He knows everything about us, ain't no secrets
He knows what's inside of man all the lies inclined to man
all wise, all seeing still He chose to abide in man
I'm blown away when I think on how my soul was saved
Like a movie I can see it like it was yesterday
caught up in a major way sort of like I had a date
God booked the appointment and rigged it in a player way
Grace through faith did more than just account for me
it placed me in His family and gave me my identity
who am I I'm a child of the King
co-heir with the Savior adopted and redeemed
He gave me a brand new life
Forgiven me of all I've done
He's not only a king He's my Father (My Father yeah)
