Hat backwards type in my Mac password
no hackers be looking over my backpack
upon my shoulders
no creepin in my folders
where the beats back up
my words that come from the heart
like little lights in the dark
they’re authentic - I don’t say things I don’t mean
I keep it clean but not always safe or comforting
There’s a Heaven but there’s also a Hell
and a true story to tell
here in the between
Are you listening or just head-noddin to the beat?
Are you hearing it? Or ya just digging the beat?
Are you feeling it? Or you just out rocking to the beat?
There’s a Heaven but there’s also a Hell and a true story to tell here in the in between

GO

Can’t be in the corner if we should be raving
we can't be safe when we we’re about saving
he's not a tame lion that we are chasing
You got this - GO
You have a gift for a reason
You don’t have to wait for the season to start
compassion is more than a feeling
we are wandering passionate lights in the dark
GO
You have a gift for a reason
You don’t have to wait for the season to start
compassion is more than a feeling
we are wandering passionate lights in the dark
If you wait till you're ready you'll never be ready
You wait till you’re set you may never know
If you miss the message you’ll end up regretting
We're already there and never alone
Go

Universe, Everything...

What did you write in the dirt
What did you write in the dirt
when you stooped down to the earth
When you got down in the earth
What did you write in the sand
Why was there no one left standing
What did you do to deserve it
Pharisees trying to earn it
Whatever it was was amazing
Whatever it was it meant grace
All that you do deserves praise
All that you are deserves praise
What are we trying to do here
What are we trying to prove here
You have the keys to eternity
You have the right to say go in peace
You have the right to say sin no more
You have the light to give the poor / /
the oppressed, afflicted, addicted the sinners and saints all of em need your grace all of us need to see your face
You are the Lion the Lamb the great I AM the Son of Man / /
you are the holy One the only righteous one you are the perfect Son you were the perfect plan You were the man literally, You are the man, more than a man, now in glory, you’re the King of the Universe Everything Everything
How’s that for perspective
Follow me while I wreck this
And shatter our shallow reality

Isaiah/Me

Woe to me I am ruined I am unclean
And I stand before the King
Wherever I might be
Do I have the faith to trust in this vision
Do I have the strength to follow this mission
The fear in the mirror is laughing at me (screaming)
I am not worthy, I am not worthy
Oh My God Here I am
invade me with your holiness
hold my shaking hands (4th - wash these dirty hands)
Oh My God, Here I am
Fill me with Your Spirit
Save this broken man
Here I am
(Here I am)
(3rd - Woe to me I am unworthy, Woe to me I am unclean)
(4th - Holy - I am made worthy - Holy - I am made clean)
And the angel stood before me
And he burned me with the coal
And the scars upon my lips made me whole
And the Angel stood before me
There was judgment in his eyes
I was frozen to the cross
I see the hammer and nails and I
I cried oh my God please save me
And a man reached out to hold me
I saw a smiling face
He told me not to worry
And I was torn away
The hammer found its mark
And the nails pierced his skin
And His blood flowed on my lips and cleansed me

I like longboarding in the morning..
I like xboxin in the evening...
I like long walks upon the beach and
Deep into the forest yeah
Let’s get to the wilderness
Take me out to the mountain side
I’d like an island with no bridges
I need to find some quiet life
I’m searching for some quiet places
To break open these quiet cages
So I can make some serious changes
And come back a better man
I like driving in the rain when I've got nowhere to go.
I like letting go of pain like I am elemental.
Searching my soul searching my soul.
I like listening to songs that could change my mind.
I like that sometimes I'm wrong - don’t always have to be right.
Searching my soul, searching my soul.
I like driving in the rain when I've got nowhere to go.
I like letting go of pain like I am freakin eternal.
Searching my soul searching my soul.
I like listening to songs that could change my life.
I don’t have to be perfect but I’ll put up a good fight.
Searching my soul, searching my soul.
(Searching my soul, searching my soul)
But if my soul is full of junk then I got nowhere to go...

Wouldn’t have it any other way…
really not much more that I could say
Sometimes the days are long
Sometimes the nights are heavy
Feel like I don’t belong
I don’t deserve these blessings
Waking up with you
date night, let’s make it a great night
might be ale 8 one out under the stars to-night
we going back in time party like ’99
will you be mine, like for life huh?!
Date night, gotta help me dress right
I can’t match and it shows in the bright lights
Laugh all you want I’m yours and I love how the light
shines bright in your eyes and your smile
We crossed oceans to become a family
I passed the rains down in Africa (No, really!)
been searching my feelings true love it’s a real thing I’m counting my blessing you’re wearin my ring uh
You interrupt me - making me skip beats
You’re my wifey and you will always be
Til death comes calling - I ain’t scared of nothin
I love you and I thank God for my family
and I wouldn’t have it any other way

In The In Between Pt2

Hat backwards, I’m the backpacker
I stack the track with a bunch of nouns and verbs and words
Don’t stutter very much i’m kinda clutch with this stuff because I trust in the God who saved me from the — sin I was stuck in - I got out of the system - in which I was living - to which I was accustomed - see I knew about the outcome - I am not a dum dum I got this — feeling I’ve been given a mission and so I make some music to inject in your eardrum so the system can be redeemed
I gotta be honest it seems trivial to me to make a rap that doesn’t really matter
I’d like to avoid that crap and cut the chitter-chatter
I’d - like - to,
present - to - you,
some music with some meaning
no you are not dreaming - it’s reality, cause like, cause like I said man
there’s a heaven but there’s also a hell and a true story to tell here in the in between
Hat tipped a little sideways we hangin by the doorway, I’m ready for anything that might come thru to distract you from the truth being dropped on stage I got 66 books of divine wisdom to pull from
so much material man — and it was sent from the Heavens to hear so open up your ears and try hope not dope not money or fame or lust that’s gonna turn to dust like us
Yeah our bodies gonna melt to mush but our soul’s like “I’ll fly away old glory”
-Won’t you tell that story of how God became a man to save man from destruction it’s a perfect plan but you gotta respond are ya listening or ya just head noddin to the beat huh
cause like I said
There’s a Heaven

I’m busy; I’m fine
Freeze frame pause the space-time-continuum
follow the space dust trust til you fit in with them
too late to face the truth whats it mean
too late to chase that galactic dream

VERSE
Sometimes I feel like we’re just stumbling through life
Like were just moving from fight to fight
Like we’re barely holding back the darkness
Em - Sometimes I feel like we are in over our heads
Like we are flirting with the edge
Like we’ll end up with broken hearts again
BRIDGE
That’s not the only way to see it
Its fading away
We are not the ones with power
Our Hearts prone to breaking
We have a Light guiding us
Holding back the dark
Showing us the way
Sometimes I feel like we’re just watching it all pass by
Like we’re just wasting so much time
Like we’re out of breath and barely alive
Sometimes I know that we are running way too fast
And way too hard and chasing things that won’t last
God help us hear your voice again
VERSE + BRIDGE
CHORUS
So we sing
Hallelujah - You hold us
Hallelujah - You hold us together
Hallelujah - You hold us
Hallelujah - You hold it all together

Sometimes I feel like we’re just stumbling through life
Like were just moving from fight to fight
Like we’re barely holding back the darkness
Em - Sometimes I feel like we are in over our heads
Like we are flirting with the edge
Like we’ll end up with broken hearts again
That’s not the only way to see it
Its fading away
We are not the ones with power
Our Hearts prone to breaking
We have a Light guiding us
Holding back the dark
Showing us the way
Sometimes I feel like we’re just watching it all pass by
Like we’re just wasting so much time
Like we’re out of breath and barely alive
Sometimes I know that we are running way too fast
And way too hard and chasing things that won’t last
God help us hear your voice again
Reflection look in through my eyes
Beyond them lightning rages skies
Thunder silenced by troubled mind
Restless thoughts worse than storms in the night
Quiet me
Help me be still and know
Silence me
Help me calm down slowly
I can’t breathe without your presence
I can’t rest without your promise
Comfort me
Cover me
I need You
I can’t do this without You
I need you
So cover me
