Also, from my understanding, people say that either #1 - I don't talk about Jesus enough in my music, or #2 - other artists aspire to "pull an Armond" aka "not talk about Jesus because its corny". So I decided to post the lyrics to this song over at Rap Genius & breakdown all the scripture I used to write this verse. It's not about "not saying Jesus", it's about allowing Jesus to make your relationship with Him personal & you conveying your reality of that. You can not say "Jesus" & display Him just as much (if not more) through your actions & perceptions.

...legible w/ led though I'm hard too follow
I know I'm a leader, but I'm letting you know this verse is going to be very difficult to keep up with..LED...FOLLOW
raise ya glass from quarter waters to arnold palmers
the weather's changing, so is my perception
...tryna perfect affection w/o protection
Love does not have borders. You cannot love wholeheartedly & protect yourself. Love causes you to leave yourself open & vulnerable to whoever or whatever it is that you love. Anything outside of that, is not love.
maybe i need direction, no arrows from cupid
no access to mapquest or google, i'm losing
i'm headed for confusion, before i hit that deadly crash
sometimes you gotta pray for things you already have
play on words...DIRECTION...ARROWS...MAPQUEST...GOOGLE...HEADED FOR CONFUSION...I need direction, but cannot rely on the love that has been taught to us (used Cupid/Mapquest/Google maps as an example) to be my guide. Only the love of Christ.
...playing hard to get w/ my future
but hi-fiving these losers,
spin myself in a stupor
play on words...Hi-Five had a song "She's Playing Hard To Get"...instead of accepting my destiny, I'm toying around with it, potentially diluting & preventing the fullness of what God has for me.
...never alone, but pride moves me to hide the help
reality its times i'm too busy living to die to self
play on words...MOVES ME...HIDE...LIVING...we spend too much time DOING things & not enough times just BEING who we were created to be. To die to self is a state of mind, there's not something you can DO to achieve that. But living takes work. So stop doing & start being.
lames search my twitter & they run back to my girl
as if every @ is a fact i'm flirting
what a dirtbag
self explanatory...
love is a choice, marriage is a decision
sacrifice is essential, & feelings are a religion
We always equate love & marriage to how we feel. Our feelings flee from us all the time. You ever just WAKE UP & be in a bad mood? When absolutely nothing happened to you? So then why do we apply that to relationships? Some days I'm going to wake up & not feel like being in love, or being married. But it is a choice that I made. In order for that choice to succeed, sacrificing who I am is essential. When two become one, there are some things that just can't fit. That goes beyond "not staying out late" & "cutting off partners"...mindsets have to change to in order to co-exist.
Feelings are a religion, anything that you are a slave to is a religion. Too often we "follow our heart" & "go with our gut" & wonder why things fall apart...
listen...she said she was ready to serve God
push her life to the side & for the mark
i'm thinking smart
...so i thought to sew a thought into her fabric
but she was closed minded, not tailor made for marriage
once the conversations were more about God & less about her
she stopped coming to church
whats the (difference)
tween a pastor manipulating for money
& manipulating God for a husband?
...nothing...
This is something I see way too often, I just happened to use a woman wanting a husband as an example. People will seek God for something to fulfill them, when He is the fulfillment. No man, no child, no amount of money, can fill the voids that life creates for us all. And then we get mad at God when He didn't do what we expected Him to do, when it wasn't His will all along. Never works.
appreciate life, sometimes i fail to see
dreaming is a drug as result i'm pushing that heavy d
conformation to avoid coming of age
...i pray to avoid becoming the prey
"Conformation" is the imparting of the Gift of the Holy Spirit. since the Holy Spirit gives us eternal life, I used that as an example of seeking Christ to avoid death...Coming of Age is the transition of a boy to a man...if the Bible says we are to have child-like faith, I don't wanna be an adult in that aspect.
but at the same time, i ain't perfect i need correction
4am, sending sleepy texts to sleazy exes
...someone accepting me for me is hard to fathom
convincing myself i don't deserve it so don't bother asking
hate when ppl only hit me when they want something
...now i know how God feels
...that's braille like, show em my tail pipe
prayer life's stairway to heaven on a rail slide
play on words...HIT ME...GOD FEELS...BRAILLE...to know how "God feels" is braille like. When a person has to read braille, it is because they've lost sight & must have faith in their other senses to get through life. Faith through Christ relies totally on who He is & not what we see. & because Jesus was able to feel what we felt while on earth, He can relate to us...SHOW EM MY TAIL PIPE...act a fool, act a donkey, wild out. Being in my flesh causes me to constantly do wrong. But I only gave it half of a line because that should not be the focus. PRAYER LIFE'S A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN ON A RAILSLIDE...skaters "slide down the rail" with their board. To slide down takes full concentration...the minute you stop focusing on maintaining balance, you fall. Same goes for your "prayer life"...
all these ideals i gotta knock to the side
God is the truth, but most what we know about him's a lie
had my (baby) out of wedlock, the 2nd one from my marriage
use my mind as my eyes & it's subliminally apparent
...i used to think they were punishment for my sins
but (why) would God kill joy w/ kids that i live for
Just an example of people placing God's "judgement" above His grace.
...had a dream i was ready to graduate
God was ready to promote me to the next level
but there was some things i had to take w/ me
but wasn't sure how to handle it
cuz issues w/ abandonment
its so easy to mention a million deal breakers
its so easy to embrace the things i feel that hate us
Ask somebody what they don't want in a relationship...then ask that person what they do want. I bet you the list of what they don't want trumps what they want...we have these hangups as people that ultimately mean NOTHING in the grand scheme of things.
...its hard to convince myself i'm a man
when i gotta borrow from pops to pay my electric bill
i understand that a dollar sign is apart of life
the problem lies when i buy the lie that it swallows mine
Cash doesn't rule everything around me, lol...and it is not my measuring stick of being a man
most of the things i identify with are bitter lies
...to live my life gotta kiss the sky & dismiss the time
God chose you knowing who you were, and what you would do...since God operates in eternity & time, & both of those things are slaves to Him, why do you think something you did would prevent you from experiencing His fullness?
...27 years, i earned my pain
politicians is itching to pitch that hermain cain
America is a control freak...she has disguised herself as freedom in order to trap & bind everyone in her path to do what she does, say what she says & believe what she believes. Herman Cain was simply an example of something getting pushed down our throats until we accept it as good.
20 something years i sat in jail, prepared for hell
...now all i need is a woman that'll let me fail
then rub my back & help me pick up the mess
though hiccups i pick up could disrupt the blessings
When I say let him fail...if you can prevent a potential disaster from occurring, then sure...by all means. But falling down is how a man learns to walk on his own two. And while he's learning, as his helpmate, encouraging him through the process is ESSENTIAL in his growth. There's not much worse than failing & that feeling that she's going to make you feel bad about it.
but i got my woman , she'll stick it out til the end
Though it seems we can't speak without her getting offended
Because of the things that I did, that caused her a lotta pain
The more I show her I've changed, the more she treats me the same
I'm saying...
When you see someone changing right before your eyes, sometimes it's extremely difficult not to take who they were into their future. Sometimes you have to be deliberate with your change so that those who need to see it are aware of it.
...all in all thats my baby tho
& cuz i love her i grin & bear it & brave the road
And while that person is learning to accept a new you, you must grace them AND yourself to get through to the next level.
...maybe the problem is i chase it
& when i use my hands then it prevents the organic
If God revealed to you your full purpose before it was time to fulfill it, you would begin to do things to "set yourself up" & end up ruining it. He has to set you up.
my son's getting taller, looking like his mama
sees Lupe on TV, starts asking for his father
My son thinks I look like Lupe Fiasco...and he knows I rap...blame the hair, lol
...i was convinced that i'd never be a part of him
thats my blood, cut from my cloth, them stains are hard to rinse
play on words...BLOOD...CUT...CLOTH...STAINS...HARD TO RINSE...your kids will exhibit your characteristics whether they live upstairs or a million miles away...it's ingrained into them to be a better you
those were boundaries, i set around me, i hopped the fence
pride was my drug, my vodka mixed w/ collodopins
Anything can be a drug...anything.
& if i'm fighting to hide it, then where does modest end?
but i could write forever, let me stop this pen

Click here if you can't see the embed player
yeah...dreams money can't purchase
your billions can't touch the surface
immersed in
me & my characteristics playing inertia
they ask if i'll last, i tell em look at the first one
Money doesn't equal to what this is all for. Inertia is resistance...I'm trying to resist who I am & become what I'm supposed to be. The first one = God
...so don't raise your drinks to wicked me
...i was victor ortiz to my enemies
i was a victim or a tease to these mini mes
mad they was stealing the feelings God was given me
I get praise for my music that I really don't deserve. All the while, I was "Victor Ortiz", meaning I was trying to appease what I should've been attacking. I've come across people who like to bite/steal/manipulate. Whenever you get robbed, you're considered to be a victim.
see...i was suffering from anxiety
shaking in my bed, begging the devil to lie to me
couldn't be convinced God needed me, in spite of me
& so i stood idoly
with a fire that dried the sea
...Christ decided to ignite my insight
& honor me w/ harsh realities of what's inside of me
....now what?
felt a loud rush
regulators, mount up
stress lead me to have my 1st anxiety attack last month. sometimes you get desperate enough to entertain temptation from the devil. God chooses you in eternity, not in time...there's nothing you can do to qualify or disqualify yourself from His promises EXCEPT qualify & disqualify yourself (in spite of me). "Fire that dried the sea"...the fire i had for God turned into a fire to please myself. The sea represents Christ (living water)...so i became more concerned with me than the work. I began to seek God & he showed me a lot of characteristics i had that were wrong with me. Once He reveals those things, then what do you do? "Regulators, mount up"...tribute to the Warren G classic
the more i started rapping, the bigger was the picture
the flow & these syllables i was spittin wasn't sick enough
...matter fact i was sick of my position
phil in groundhog day, was difficult to get up
until i realized i was spitting for my spirit
feeding my lil ego, difficult to admit it
& so i played God, you could feel it in my lyrics
til i confronted me w/ these invisible gorillas
...what up wit, what up dre
it's all love, that's enough to say
The more music I released, the larger my "territory" became. But I was challenging myself to rap better instead of developing my relationship with God. But it wasn't fufilling me. Sure, I was getting accolades for being a rapper, but the more rapping I did, the more I realized how insignificant it was in the grand scheme of things. I became Phil in the movie Groundhog Day, every morning when that alarm clock went off, it was harder & harder to get out of bed. "Til I confronted me with these Invisible Gorillas"...getting cool w/ Wit & Dre Murray has challenged me & in a sense beat my ego up. Issues that God revealed to me a few bars back, they helped identify & subdue.
im a silly dude, trapped in these frilly moods
traded in claire huxtable for nikki tru
...cuz when i go to these clubs & perform
i'm the man on the mic, but a stranger in my home
it's strange that i'm alone, it's funny who i run into
cuz i coulda took shorty home if i wanted to
coulda took her home for the okey doke
...she's rich...so i'ma go for broke
she activated the thirst, i'ma row the boat
she asked me if i was single & i told her no
I definitely perform at more clubs than churches (which I like). I end up going & leaving by myself. The fact that I'm single, I have the option of essentially doing whatever I want & not being accountable to anybody, because again, no one goes with me. Nikki Tru was Kerry Washington's character in "I Think I Love My Wife", she's also a double entendre for my insecurities.
cuz the only one i wanna give my all
whenever i get tempted, she's the 1st one i call
but cuz i did her wrong
i feel like i gotta tell her everytime i choose her
but then i think i'm flaunting it
No comment...
...so appaled....no kanye, jay or wild church
no outbursts
...no dissing my brothers & sisters
& when they call me out, i play victim & sound hurt
I see this a lot lately...people talk bad about other people, but when they're called out on it, they're met with excuses. No the Kanye/Jay reference is not a diss.
they try to tell me that i rap in my prime
so i'ma hand em my pride
sweep up the damage inside
all these hannibals & cannibals that stand to my side
i tell em fly, peacock until you land in my life
im hype
Everytime someone tells me I'm dope, I HAVE to "hand God my pride". Hip-hop is rooted in pride, so I believe that every MC has dealt with or is dealing with pride at some point of their career. That pride creates the "damage inside" that handing it off to God "sweeps up". The "hannibals & cannibals" are a reference to the "mini-me's" from earlier. "Fly, peacock" is a reference to The Other Guys. "Land in my life" means, although you try to imitate, my life is tailor made to fit me & me alone. No one else can live your life but you. Your life should be dope enough to where you don't have to rely on anyone else's to give you fufillment.

Update: studio footage w/ J Carter & Jae Mitch
Light a candle, pour a glass of Arnold Palmer in a champagne glass & lemme learn ya
Trying to dream & stay focused on my mission
Want you to hear with your eyes, use your ears as your vision
What I'm about to say to you is going to be different from anything you're used to hearing. So you'll need to change your perception in order to get it all.
Nah, that ain't deep, the concept is simple as me always eating McDonalds & losing weight
I choose my fate
McDonalds has empty calories. For someone with a high metabolism as I do, as much as I eat it, it's not going to help me get in better shape. And even though fast food is ridiculously bad for us, everytime we eat it, it's a choice. So when we reap the "benefits" of a choice, we can't be mad at the options made available to us. We can only hold ourselves responsible for making that choice.
Every storm that I weathered, I swear it passed
Satan can't take nothing from me I won't let him have
& that's why he ain't stabbing me with a pitchfork
I'm grazing in the grass my ancestors was lynched for
We bring up the story of Job & how Satan had to petition God to bring harm to him. This is an old testament issue, as now since Christ is in us, the devil has no ability to do anything to us directly unless we have doorways open to allow him to do so. He'll use circumstances, other people, your insecurities...but never you directly. You're not a puppet. Life is 10% of what happens to you & 90% how you react to it. The wrong reaction will give the enemy access. And even within that, God's grace doesn't let you get destroyed. Grazing in the grass, refers to generations before me that have sacrificed, made mistakes & broke down walls to make things easier for the future. And whether we know it or not, we're doing the same thing.
And I was more concerned with Kris Kross
Wearing clothes backwards when that affected my actions
I was 8 then, now I'm 26
My house built with straw, sticks & a couple bricks
I used Kris Kross as a double entendre. At 8 yrs old, I had no idea of the sacrifices my parents, grandparents & elders made for me to live the life I have today. I was more concerned with my own life. Also, it's a lie when they tell you hip-hop has no affect on its listeners. At 8 years old, Kris Kross had me wearing clothes backwards to school & leaving the tags on my Starter cap (When that affected my actions)...and because of that, 20 years later, my house (foundation) is built on some good things (bricks) & some incorrect ideologies (straw & sticks) that could hinder my full potential.
Ain't think my past would be hard to dismiss
Never knew my heart had a lisp
Double entendre...someone very special to me has a small lisp. Also, a lisp is considered to be a deficiency, I thought I was a good person (good hearted), but my past that's so "hard to dismiss" leads me to do bad things & make wrong decisions.
Started coasting on faith, I seen my luck was running up
Easy to lie naked, much harder to cover up
Hard to ride for the cause, super easy to buckle up
Easy to kill the noise, but impossible to knuckle up
Coasting on faith = riding with God, my luck was running up because luck doesn't exist. Anything not founded on God will eventually run dry. Easy to lie naked, it's easy to tell the truth & be honest. Harder to cover up, you have to lie, remember the lies & lie to cover up the other lies. It becomes a burden. Hard to ride for the cause, nobody wants to be the 1st, super easy to buckle up, it's much easier to ride the coattails & reap the benefits of somebody else's martyrdom. Easy to kill the noise, it's easy to ignore, but impossible to take action (knuckle up)
What...oh you thought that I was different too?
I am, double check who you're listening to
Don't compare me to these everybodies
Cause it's enough lanes made for everybody
Say I sound like Common, a lil' Lupe
But what I'm saying ain't common, found me a new lane
Although there's nothing new under the sun, I believe that you can do what you do & not run into anyone else. True creativity & inspirations runs too high, far & wide to have been exhausted by now. People always compare me to Common & Lupe Fiasco, & while they are some of my favorites, I don't believe I sound anything like them. People just like to label, compare, identify & box things because boxes are safe. They are contained. If a bird flies around the house, you don't know where it's going. But if it's in its cage, you don't have to worry about it. It is where it always is.
To change the world, we gotta change our minds
Worried about illuminati, but illuminate your minds & realize
The light in the world that you're called to be
Is dim & shorting out, took your morals & whored em out
To the highest bidder, with the higest figures
Bible beside my pistol, side by side, what's bigger?
The trigger pulled? Or the bullet launched?
Do I still need a vest if I'm filled & full of God?
We're always looking for something to attach the devil to to "expose him", when it actually gives him & the situation more power. The illuminati has unfortunately been a hot topic for the last couple of years. And even though demonic influences in music, & secret societies in our culture is NOT a new idea, all of a sudden the notion of it has re-emerged & has basically began a witch hunt. And what it does in the grand scheme of things, when you focus solely on that, is it dims the "light of the world", the Bible calls us to be. You take everything that God has given you & you've whored them out, you've sold them to become apart of this witch hunt. Bible beside my pistol...the pistol is a metaphor for action. If I point a Bible @ you, nothing happens. But if I point a gun at you & pull the trigger, a bullet will come out & kill you. So what's more important? One or the other? Do I still need a vest if I believe God will protect me? Or does some sort of action need to follow these words I believe in?
Could my back handle these backgammons?
Cuz I wanna double axe-handle my backstabbers?
Backgammon is a game...
Don't win a Grammy, did I fail to fufill my mission?
Trying to please a culture I wasn't built to fit in?
As you may or nay not know, I despise being called a "Christian rapper"...or even a "rapper that's Christian"...I hate labels. There's a Jesus culture that has totally engulfed Christianity that I do NOT fit in. For the 1st few years of my walk, it hindered me because I thought I had to act like this & talk like that & do this & not do that in order to fit in with...people. When God never asked me to change who I was...He wanted to do the changing Himself. Once I realized I could still be good in God's eyes & not conform to this culture, it was a lot easier for me. But still a good chunk of my fanbase fit into this category. Do I reject them because they are what I despise? No...So if I say nigga on a record
Would all of my niggas feel disrespected?
Or if I said nigga was a state of mind not attached to a color, would I get backlash from the public?
A friend of mine released a song a few months ago & he said nigga in the track. He received a good amount of backlash, people boycotted him, denounced him, all because he said this one word. All of my life I've been the token black kid. Always was in white schools. And never did I have to deal with racism. So to me, nigga doesn't mean what it means to my father. While blacks have claimed to "destroyed the power" of the n-word, they really haven't. If anything they've just made it cool for everybody to say. While I agree with Chris Rock's "Nigger vs Black People" theory. Nigga (that -er & -a difference is malarchy) was a word used against black people because we were considered to be ignorant. Today we know that ignorance knows no color. So to me nigga = ignorance. On the other hand, I do know that the word is offensive to a lot of people & you have to respect that everybody's not going to view it the same way as you. So I am sensitive to it in that regard. That's just my take.Or should I say bump it, eff it
Focus on my efforts & let faith do the rest
If I turned my attention to everything they said
Let their opinions dance in my head
These women hear my music & tell me how much they love it
& I'm struggling with the fear of failing twice as a husband
Say they want honesty, but they're scared of it
Say they stand for the truth, but they're prepared to sit
People really don't want to face the truth. Face fears. Face rejection. Face opression & opposition. The music I've been creating lately has kinda forced people to do that. And as a result, the backlash appears.
Trying to tell em 'get on my level'
They tell me 'stack my dollars' but finna switch to Ameros
Christ is King, but sometimes I feel like Pharoahe
Invest in a Kingdom my failures say that I don't sharehold
But it's so easy to speak the truth in a room where everyone believes the same things as you
So I apologize if I said it all, before I'm dead I'ma set up the next to set it off
2Pac said "I may not change the world, but I will spark the brain who will change the world". And I believe it. Though we may not "finish the work", we will lay down the groundwork for our children to continue with it.

I'm supposed to be taking a break. My life is way more important than these rappity raps.
Then Monday night happened.
I'm at my house, watching TV & my man Doc hits me on twitter like "the All Of The Lights remix has an open 16 at the end...you should do that". My mind is like "break...break...break..." but the rapper in me is like "rappity...rappity...rappity...". So I figure since I had an hour before Monday Night RAW, I'd humor myself & see if I could write & record a verse in 60 minutes. Doc was also up to mix, so why not??
Light in the dark, illumination
Chasing that thing between her legs'll ruin your nation
The frequency's in the air, tune to the station
OD'd on the red pill, now you're in the matrix
Was losing my patience, using you as a muse
Knew that you was the truth
Skewing my view of the spaceships
Tried to move & then "poof" lights low
But the Christ in my life is a light show
With the right glow, Without the ice, no
Write it down, take a picture for the slide show
I separated myself without an iso
The ball is in my corner dunno where it might go
She was like yes, I was like, no
I was sick of the chills
Trying to get a grip on the slickest of wheels
I tried to run away, but she's MMSing me pics in her heels
I've lost my love, wish I could feel
No more fear of fear here's a list of my thrills
Wait, slow down, let me chill & be still
No need to brag on the illest of skills
No coughin or sneezin'
They walking & wheezing
We legions apart & one day you'll start to believe me...

Chevy Impala Music is a favorite freestyle of mine for a few reasons. #1 I was going through a really dark period in 2010 where circumstances piled up one after the other. I made a few mistakes & as a result, me being me, I pulled away. But often times, when people tell me "you need someone to talk to", the music I create is the equivalent to me sitting in the chair telling a shrink about trauamatic events in my life starting at the age of 6. Unfortunately, either people don't listen, or I don't make my issue clear enough (I think it's both) & here we are. Songs like "Illuminati" & "Just Begun" reflect that super dark period of my life.
Usually during those times I purposely stay away from writing, because when I get out of a funk & I hear what I wrote while I was in it, I get mad that I was mad (if that makes sense). I don't remember exactly what I was doing when I got the Maybach Music 3 instrumental, I just remember that whatever I write first after not touching a pen (or Blackberry) for months at a time, is usually the equivalent to a suppository...and it all came out (sorry for the graphic image).
Which is why I rhyme for the entire beat.
Hannah Montanima, eatin a bananima & too cool for school were subliminal shoutouts to a friend I was watching the classic viral video "Shawt Bus Shawty" with...and too cool for school is an inside joke.
Small as a giant, large as my ambitions
In '05, traded God's truth for man's fiction
Witness the transition, from a young boy, used to rock shades in the club cuz I lacked vision
Now I see clear...Adam Copeland
Adam Copeland is the real name of a wrestler...Edge. The lyrics to his theme song say "on this day, I see clearly".
Said she seen it in my walk, I'm glad you noticed
Now I'm back focused, what up Tamika
Remember Wal-Mart & the eye doctor was tryna greet ya
Then I went out of town & decided we should be apart
We got in an argument & you lied, said you keyed my car
I should've had you cut, that's the old me
...But to this day, that's the homie
Now don't ask why I remember
Getting better but I still am a beginner at forgiveness
Rather burn for the Truth, than go to hell for an opinion
Doc's engaged, Shave & his wife's expecting
& I can't see my son, look at life's lessons
Not bitter, I've learned to enjoy the ride
Seat back, dose off & be glad I ain't gotta drive
Praise Christ, my knees to the floor
Tear down walls, dropkick my feet through the door
What up Keyl? What up Stephanie?
Seen me at my worse, so I make sure you get the best of me
Pray the day I'm able to repay the time you vest in me
Still riding with me though I'm wide on the turning lanes
Y'all remind me that I'm too much of a nerd to change
Back when Rich had me surfing waves
I kept it real...fake for long, I deserve the change
You deserve the same
I'm Penny in Orlando, deserve a ring
No works of my own, I ain't earn a thing
Now I'm more concerned than ever with who sits in office
(Why?) My daughter finna start kindergarten
I'm tryna master the matrix
Y'all debating which of these rappers is masons
Which one sold their soul to the devil
When most of y'all ain't living for God anyway
Me? I'm a renegade.
Tried as a rebel & convicted, put to death to serve a sentence of a zillion days
King of my castle, gold is what I pave the roads with
A sucker for a woman with some heels & her toes did
I suppose its the reason why I need the Rock
Put the q-tip to my ears before I breathe & stop
To make sure you feeling what you hearing
Adhere to the spirit, the appearance is a mirror
To what's really in the center
A city full of pretenders
I, speak to your cries
It's the reason for life
I can't do all black everything in July
This is why, I go hard for many peers
But I ain't tryna bare my soul to some itchy ears
I rep the Lord, try to convey why you need Him closely
Y'all more concerned with which girl inspired Nina Mosley
I understand, I'm aight with it
They never know they're in the dark til the light hits it...
I'm not finished...
Son to my father, father to my kiddies
Training to run the world while you jogging in the city
Pardon, often, I'm bothered by the pity
Cuz Armond is getting offers from these sponsors cuz I'm witty
Nah, God is with me...He said I got a message for em
It's more than music, a record deal is a stepping stone
I'ma let em know...but right in the middle of saving the world I get distracted & I check my phone
She's been calling a lot lately, less is more
Still unlike any woman I've ever met before
I question God bout the purpose of our past
But that ring on your finger is a circle & a slash
And honestly I wonder if it's worth it & I laugh
Said she was my 'ride or die', well I'm certain I would crash
Watching King of Queens
Life is Arthur Spooner
Shiny things create Kings from Martin Luther
I love you too much, ain't got the heart to shoot you
But I gotta kill my past so I can start my future
Arthur Spooner is the funniest TV character of all time. So "life is funny"...shiny things create kings from Martin Luther...material possessions, money, assets, things we place value in will create a "king" from "Martin Luther"...a normal person (Martin Luther King wasn't an extraordinary person...his ideals were, he was simply the person who was used to execute them). Also "Martin Luther" was a priest int he late 1400s who challenged the ideal that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be bought with money & presented the fact that salvation is a free gift of God's grace...funny nearly 700 years later those philosophies are still taught. Though he was excommunicated, his rebellious deeds have "martyred" him...made him a "king". And because those things are more important than the woman of my past, I "ain't have the heart to shoot you...but I gotta kill my past so I can start my future". I can't kill her directly; but since she was directly apart of my past she had to go in order for me to walk into my destiny.
Breakdown...
*BREAKDOWN* Chevy Impala Music
11:33 AM
Friday, January 14, 2011
Continuing in the "Breakdown" series, I'm going to decipher my most popular freestyle "Airplanes".
I was on my 'me myself & I'
Walls up, ain't need people
Wanna feel God, reach people
We need leaders
I'm royalty, bleed regal, see evil
Eyes are the windows to the soul, let the breeze ease in
All I need is an intermission for men to listen
Needle to the record, I overdosed on my inhibitions
A struggle I have is being too open in my music & not open enough in conversation
No Henny in the system, just many women
Say she independent, but so dependent on men's attention
Lord forgive me, not a religious bigot
Just a sinning Christian, tryna win these innings
In my mind like 'Lord, how can I reach the masses'
My past burned to the ground, can see the ashes
God said there's a lesson in the stressing
After you get the message, there's a blessing with some leverage
Trials are simply there to build our character & often come with rewards
BUT, I was going too fast, He wasn't done but I caught senoritis, stopped going to class
Still bought my cap & gown, clowned til the last day
Til I got that call 'you ain't walking with your classmates'
I related trials to high school, when you stop going to class as much, you let your grades slip & before you know it you can't catch up & there's not enough time. Sometimes we'll get through half of the trial & have a major victory, which ultimately isn't the complete victory. we'll slack off & before we know it our peers are passing us up because they pressed on & we didn't
I should be adamant for what my passion is
Neighbors know my name, they get my mail on accident
Ways of the world got my head broken
Told her 'I'm a minister', then she spread her legs open
One thing I've learned, is that ministry comes with a LOT of temptation...more than you think. Crazy part is, it isn't talked about until somebody succumbs to it
Turn on the TV, why can't women find a man?
Y'all ain't supposed to find us, that's the problem there
I'm not a fan of a woman pursuing a man, or a man allowing himself to be persued. Which is one of the many reasons I say men are the new women & vice versa. Men don't want you to be the damsel in distress tied up to the railroad tracks, but persuing a relationship with you shouldn't be a rubix cube either. You can make yourself available & still be involved with the things of your personal life
Too many absent fathers, bitter mothers, deprived children
We're all killing each other
It's a cycle...the man isn't there (which could be for a plethora of reasons, whether she pushes him away or he walks away), which in turn causes the woman to become bitter, and that ultimately has the largest affect on the child because they're without who & what they need to grow
Y'all ain't even seen a piece of my God
We at war, if you see blood, don't get squemish & fall off
People have this idea of Jesus being a hippie, frolicking in the forest. Not so much
But I ain't running with em, one day they gon' listen
Til then they're stuck, living their life off Reverend Run's wisdom
I personally can't stand Rev Run's wisdom...it's powdered milk. Powerless. A lot of it doesn't make sense. Catchy phrases. And people live their lives off of it, but you can't live off of only baby milk in a bottle. You'll die if you don't give your body meat & potatoes
We ain't all soldiers, y'all wanna build up the kingdom when God's tryna tear down & start over
See we're all broken
The devil was planting seeds when we was kids
Now we eating from his ribs
Eve came from Adam's rib...our sin & shortcomings come from hell. From the second you were born, Satan had it out for you, and he used several methods to keep you as far away from your destiny as possible. And he used whoever he could to mold you...friends & especially family members.
Yeah that's BIG...Chris Wallace
Devil shooting Bullet Bill's, pray they missed all us
God was painting a masterpiece, I brushed Him off
Started feeling myself, realized I was jerking off
Problems arise, I wonder where everybody is
But when they knock on the door, don't even let em in
Real simple, a lot of times we blame the devil for stuff when we are indeed our own worst enemy. God was working on me, I stopped Him from finishing, let pride get in the way & I used masturbation as a double entendre (feeling myself/hurting myself)...cuz masturbation is the loneliest pleasure of them all & it's really not pleasure in the grand scheme of things. Also I pointed out how people always talk about "me myself & I", "all I got is King Jesus", when 95% of God's ministry requires PEOPLE...working together with other PEOPLE. We push people away & wonder why nobody stays around.
Foolish pride says 'it's just me & God'
For whatever reason, His people make the evens odd
Even though people are needed to complete God's work, we're all human & imperfect & our flaws are very hard to work with...it takes love & patience to push through the imperfections & complete the mission
My intentions were in vain, painted me as the enemy
Words of doubt entered me in my sleep
No piece of tail was worth the time I saught it for
$5 dollar condoms, $500 child support
do the math...
Probably why I use writing as an escapism
All these bars in my system help me escape prison
Stay grounded but soar
And as much as you love, go to war
Balance, in a sense I'm dueling inside
And hearing this terrible music is fueling my pride
So Lord, I can't do this on my own, I'll falter
Don't look down as you walk over the water
Word to my lady Keyl
I signed up for the Air Force & joined the Navy Seals
this is the line that EVERYBODY asks me about & it's simple. The Air Force is largely considered to be the easiest of the four branches of the military. Better facilities, easier jobs, easier deployments, etc. The Navy Seals are the cream of the crop of the military...the Army commercials that have guys coming out of the water, taking out the bad guys...that's what they do.
The Navy Seals boot camp is incredibly difficult, people get injured, sick, drop out, quit...during tryouts. People say they're able to handle it but when they get out there, they have NO clue. And that's what a walk with God is like; you sign up for it...you give your life to God thinking that everything is sweet, all your sins are forgiven, nothing ever happens to you again & you live this easy, Air Force/Ned Flanders life. When it's really the Navy Seals. God stretches you, challenges you, renews your mind, hell wants your soul back, there's a struggle between good & evil that never goes away. You think you can handle it, but there are times you wanna quit, you get injured...but you can't. In the end when you make it through & become a SEAL, there's so much prestige, respect & honor that comes with it. You're glad you did it. Short term pain for long term pleasure. The Bible calls it the sufferings of this time don't compare to the glory of Jesus Christ that is to come.

Breakdown "Airplanes"
1:18 PM
Friday, November 19, 2010
Late last night I let go a new freestyle "Don't Stop (The Apology)"...over the last few months, I've been inspired to let you guys inside the music. There's only so much you can fit in a line & keep rhythm, but the intent & meaning of what's said goes way beyond music. So I'm gonna breakdown the lyrics to Don't Stop & give you some insight as to what was going on in my head as I wrote it.
Click here to download "Don't Stop (The Apology)"
Backstory: I originally did a vlog on Monday where I announced that I was dropping two albums on the same day. I promised new music on Tuesday. As life happens, plans change & I was unable to finish the song I was going to leak. So I sat on it. Honestly I assumed people were so busy with their lives that I didn't put much emphasis on explaining the push back...then came the messages. Messages, emails, twitter DMs, from people asking "where's the song at? where's the new music?" Although I was convicted, I wasn't inspired. I got ahold of some beats on Wednesday, which included a lot of Kanye West- GOOD Friday tracks. I liked Don't Stop, a song that features Kanye, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell (collectively known as Child Rebel Soldiers, or CRS); it's great "hurry up & get home" music. So I'm listening to the beat & driving home from work & the 1st line popped in my head "Rebel soldier, but I'm grown though"...in the 15 minutes it takes from me to drive from work to my house, I already had 8 bars. I write my best music in the car, so even after I parked, I stayed inside & wrote a good chunk of the verse there.
Rebel soldier but I'm grown though
Ease off 'em, Steve Austin stunner, Stone Cold
I'ma take a minute to tell you something you don't know
Reach em from the Twilight Zone down to Zone 4
the Twilight Zone symbolizes out of range...people with their heads in the clouds, the peculiar people, people that wouldn't get a 2nd glance in the street. Zone 4 is one of the rougher sections of Atlanta, GA. So from the heights of the twilight zone, to the lows of the inner city...aka everybody
Veterans Day, something I can't explain to rookies
514 Levis & Ranger Cookies
My favorite type of jeans & boots for the winter
Laces kinda like my mind, it ain't tied together
Satan brings an ink pen anytime he tests ya
With a scantron sheet
Remember the old scantrons you'd take multiple choice tests questions with? You needed a pencil to take the test, as the computer that graded them could only read led & not ink. Also if you wanted to change your answer, you were able to erase. With the enemy, he'll use an ink pen...the ink pen symbolizes being convicted for your mistakes. He'll make you believe you can't erase what you've done & you'll forever be held accountable for it. When actually, God (the computer who grades the tests) doesn't...or can't even read the ink...meaning He doesn't judge us in the same vein Satan does
A '90s Nas flow over Cam'ron beats
In the 90s Nas was considered one of the greatest MCs of all time, but his fans often complain of his beat selection. Cam'ron has always had incredible beats, but is generally considered to be a horrible lyricist. So imagine Nas over Dipset beats?
I hoist em over my shoulder if my man's all weak
I'm sorry, I've been lying to my fans all week
I'm sorry!!!
Been coming soon forever like that old Mercedes album cover
I kinda dissed myself with this line. Remember in the late 90s when Master P & No Limit Records would take out 3-4 page ads with all the CDs they had "coming soon". Well every teenage boy had this album cover hanging up in his locker
Her album was "coming soon" for at least 3 years...nobody had heard her on anybody else's songs, all we knew was she was bent over on the cover & that was enough to hold our attention.
Sick of these rapping suckas
Smashin on these ragamuffins
(Buku!! Buku!!! Lawd'a'mercy)
My Lord is worthy, He created beauty out of all that hurt me
Yeah I understand that He be in the sky
But His grace is the 1st thing that greets me when I rise
Lamentations 3:22-23- 22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
I search Him with my heart, most seek Him with their eyes
One thing I've been learning in this season is that God speaks to us everyday. I was talking to my pastor a few weeks ago; frustrated because I felt like God wasn't directly speaking to certain situations. As if He could only speak one way...as if He just floats over your bed at night & talks to you. While He COULD do that, it's not the only method He speaks. Isaiah 6:3 says "And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Everything from seasons changing, to something we see on TV, there are endless ways that God can & does speak to us. Also, the world looks at things...the world continues to get worse & worse. "The good die young", things that we feel like God should stop, He doesn't. And as a result, people lose faith & belief in God because He doesn't do what WE want Him to, when it doesn't work that way"
I ain't spittin' no game baby, read between the lines
When a guy "spits game" at a woman, it mostly consists of smooth lines to entice her. But if you read between those lines, his intentions are clear. Because I just finished bragging on Christ, the stereotype of Christians is that we are wishy washy...we say one thing & do another. But I'm not "spitting game" about Jesus, I'm merely giving truth. All that I said can apply to everyone, this religious secret club that the church has become is not how God wants us to operate with the world. Read between what I said, I chose to boast on God because the true intention is to say that He's also available to you
It's scary how easy it is to ease between your thighs
She said you give her life, yet lead you to your demise
Caught Up In The Rapture, got Anita in the ride
I'm called to give 'em truth, hence the reason for the lies
People often say "if God was so good, why does bad happen"...peril creates an opportunity to showcase heroes. If everything was all good all the time, there wouldn't be a need for us to pray or have faith. What I'm saying would be irrelevant
Take a breath while I retrace my steps
I'm surprised ain't been asked to join the Masons yet
It's only a matter of time though, place ya bets
Before the uprise, we invading your station's set
I used freemasonry & the illuminati to kinda brag on my calling. Those in high degrees of freemasonry are very powerful, very influential. So I used them as an example to say "I'll soon be influential as well, with a message of salvation...to the point where they'll ask me to join"...the "uprising", I thought of V For Vendetta when V was essentially a rebel for the modern time. Which is something I believe you'll see more of in these last days.
Say they spit crack & it's laced with wet
Don't blame me, go at Damon's neck
My boy Damon Dugger was one of the people who put the battery in my back about putting out something new. So if you don't like what I'm doing, go talk to him about it
Shoutout Miss Thing, Christine
True DNA, that's a sick team
One statement & I had 'em in a rage
How is he gonna drop 2 albums in a day?
My only advice, keep grinding
I'm here to rid the game of these Fleece Johnson's
Pause...easy or the hard way
Fleece Johnson...one of the funniest & most disturbing videos I've ever seen...just used him as a metaphor for what men have become. "Easy or the hard way" refers to the Boondocks episode that mocked him, because he would say that before he tried to rape you
Say she got class, only see her in the hallway
My favorite line in the song...
At the very least, take heed to what Armond say
I ain't gotta explain it, just peep what the song say
