Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain,
(You are listening to a group of children from Africa.) For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plain, (Their parents have died from war, famine, and AIDS) America, America God shed His grace on thee (I ask all of you who take life and freedom for granted) And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea (Please don't forget to pray for Africa.) |

I've been down so long, I've been hurt for so long, There were times I thought I would never see the break of day. It was hard for me, to see your plan for me And I tried to believe surely it won't last always But night after night, (Night after night, Night after night) I pray Lord don't take your joy from me Then late one night I read in your love letter that it's gon'na get betta Don't ya know that I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you And my enemies, tried to come for me And they thought that my world was comin' to an end All the while you knew That I would make it through I seem closer than I was when I first began Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sunlight after the rain Wherever you are I just wan'na be near you I'm so glad I can hear you I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh Ohoh Ohohoh Jesus you are, (Jesus you are, Jesus you are) You are my sunlight after the rain Wherever you are I just wan'na be near you I so glad I found you I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you I've been looking for you I realized that nothing else will satisfy me I'm so glad I found you Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from you Ohoh Ohohoh (ohoho) Ohoh Ohohoh (ohoho) Ohoh Ohohoh (ohoho) Ohoh Ohohoh (ohoho) - |

The heavens were silent The earth wept in pain Nations were trembling and hope never came A Terror filled the air And it wouldn't go away We needed a hero to come and save Famine and hunger, Disease in the land The hatred the killing taking lives from your hand Creation waits through the darkness we pray Tell me where is the hero to come and save Through the nails Through the thorns From the hill to the grave Was a voice in the distance the lamb that was slain My soul had no song and my debt I couldn't pay When I needed a hero you came and you saved To the homeless The widow The fatherless son To the sick and the broken alone with no one Lift up you head your hope is on the way When we needed a hero you came and you saved the day Bridge: When the curtain had closed And it felt like the end When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin Even though men deny You're the only sacrifice That loved us enough you loved us so much Lord That you gave your life see you saved my life Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged Every wrong is erased, Jesus You are my hero you came and you saved the day Bridge: When the curtain had closed And it felt like the end When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin Even though men deny You're the only sacrifice That loved us enough you love us so much Lord That you gave your life see you saved my life Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged Every wrong is erased, Jesus You are my hero you came and you saved (x2) You are my hero you came and saved The day Vamp: You saved you saved the day(repeat) You are my hero you came and you saved (x2) You are my hero you came and saved The day |

My momma gave me up when I was four years old
She didn't destroy my body but she killed my soul Now it's cold ?cause I'm sleeping in my back seat I understand the spirit's willing but my flesh is weak Let him speak, let me speak I never had a chance to dream Ten years old and finding love in dirty magazines Ms. December you remember I bought you twice Now I'm thirty plus and still paying the price Had a sister that I barely knew Kind of got separated by the age of two Same momma different daddy so we couldn't fake it I saw my sister's daddy beat her in the tub naked Take it serious the demons in a man's mind The same man on rape charges now he's doing time Crack followed and like daddy prison thirteen years Haven't seen her, I guess she's traded tears for fears Chorus Shout, Shout, let it all out These are the things I can do without so come on Come on I'm talking to you, so come on Sex was how I made it through Without someone to teach you love what else is there to do See where I'm from they call you gay Say you ain't a man, show them you ain't no punk Get all the girls you can, a simple plan that still haunts me even now today Back to seventeen and got a baby on the way No GED all I see is failure in my eyes, if you're listening and remember I apologize I was raised falling in the church Made mistakes and heard the Lord's calling in the church After service in the parking lot getting high Wanted to be accepted so bad I was willing to die Even tried to tell the Pastor, but he couldn't see years of low self-esteem and insecurities Church taught me how to shout and how to speak in tongues But preacher, teach me how to live now when the tongue is done, help me Chorus Bridge See I, See I, I just wanna let it go, just wanna let it go, just let it go Jesus please, on my knees can't You hear me crying You said to put it in Your hands and Lord I'm really trying You wasn't lying when You said You reap what you sow Like that night momma died, it's hard to let it go You adopted me, cared for me, changed my name But I cursed at you, lied to you and left you pain It's not strange I can still see it in my head To know for hours you were lying there in that bed If you're listening to this record If it's day or night If your momma is still living treat your momma right Don't be like me and let that moment slip away And be careful ?cause you can't take back what you say To my real momma if you're listening I'm letting it go To my father, I forgive you, ?cause you didn't know that the pain was the preparation for my destiny And one more thing Lord let my son be a better man than me Chorus Ad lib |

[Verse 1] If I could, I'd get away far from all these troubles I see everyday. 할수만 있었다면, 난 매일 마주치는 문제를 놓고 도망갔을 거에요. Nobody wants to show their face. 아무도 서로 얼굴을 보여주려고 하지 않죠. This life is like a masquerade. 이런 삶은 마치 가면무도회 같죠. I know You love me, I know You care. 당신이 저를 사랑하고, 보살펴 주신다는 걸 알아요. But while I'm hurting I just need to know You're there. 하지만 내 마음이 아플 때, 그냥 주님이 거기 계신지 알고 싶은거에요. Watching over me, and I feel You telling me. 당신이 날 바라보면서 이런 말을 하시는 것 같아요. [Chorus] Count it all joy, always remember. 네가 기뻐할 것들을 세어보고 항상 기억하거라. Life will get better, it's gonna be better. 삶은 더 나아질거야, 더 좋아질거란다. No matter the weapon, it will not prosper. 어떤 무기로 싸우든 상관없어. 그걸로 사는 게 아니거든. Things will get better, it's gonna be better. 모든 게 더 나아질거야, 더 좋아질거야. [Verse 2] Persecuted, pushed away...... 핍박당하고, 외면당해왔어요.... Don't think I'd live to see another day. 새 날을 볼 수 있을거라 생각하지 않았죠. Cried some tears, and couldn't pray. 눈물을 흘렸고, 기도할 수 없었어요. And when I tried at times I couldn't find the words to say. 기도하려 하면 무슨 말을 해야할지 막막해졌죠. But now I'm stronger, because of You! 하지만 지금 전 당신 때문에 강해졌어요! Without You, Jesus, I never could have made it though. 예수님, 당신이 아니었다면, 절대 여기까지 올 수 없었을거에요. Thank You for watching me, loving me, and telling me. 날 지켜봐주시고, 사랑해주시고, 말씀해주셔서 고마워요. [Chorus] x2 [Bridge] Life sometimes may change, and nobody wants to feel pain. 삶은 때때로 엄청난 변화가 오고, 아무도 고통을 원하진 않아요. But it came to help you grow. 하지만 그 고통은 당신을 자라게 해줍니다. There's one thing you need to know. 당신이 알아야 할 것 한 가지가 있어요. God's in love with you, and He'll never let you go. 하나님은 당신에게 푹 빠져있고, 당신을 절대 놓지 않으실 거에요. People, you got it remember!! 여러분, 이걸 기억하세요!! [Chorus] x2 So, next time you feel I like giving up, Remember! (it's gonna be better) 그러니, 다음에 포기하고 싶어질 때, 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) Next time you feel I like walking away, Remember! (it's gonna be better) 다음에 어디론가 사라지고 싶을 때, 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) Next time you look at yours bank account, Remember! (it's gonna be better) 다음에 당신의 통장을 들여다 볼 때, 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) Next time your child is in trouble, Remember! (it's gonna be better) 다음에 당신의 아이가 어려움에 빠질 때, 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) You an talking about your boys, just Remember! (it's gonna be better) 당신의 사춘기 자녀들과 이야기할 때, 이걸 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) Next time, you're crying in midnight hour, Remember! (it's gonna be better) 다음에 한밤 중 당신이 침대 속에서 울고 있을 때, 기억하세요! (더 좋아질거야) |

Verse 1 I can take a plane high up in the sky and fly for a million miles Write a melody so sweet, make a tear turn into a smile I can see the color of spring I can even feel the weather change And soon the leaves fall and winter calls, ’cause nothing ever stays the same When I think of where I’ve been, what I’ve done and all I own How I think I know everything, like I made it here on my own And like the wind that blows, like a flower that grows Still with all I can do Chorus 1 (Without You) life’s a song with no end Without You, like having a heart that won’t mend Without You, we’re just actors on a stage Like a child who’s lost his way Wouldn’t be here today without You Verse 2 I admit that sometimes pride tries to hide my view And even this gift that you gave me, I forget it’s for You And all the many days and many ways Your grace I’ve abused Still you were patient and Your love loved me through But the wind still blows and the flower still grows and one thing is still true. (Chorus 1) Chorus 2 (Without You) life’s a wound that won’t heal Without You, nothing in this world is for real Without You, we're just actors on a stage Like a child who's lost his way Wouldn't be here today without You Bridge Can’t live, can’t see Your will for me Can’t do anything Anything (Chorus 1) (Chorus 2) Vamp Without You, we’re like a bride with no groom Without You, it’s like seeing no sunshine in June Without You, we’re just actors on a stage Like a child who’s lost his way We wouldn’t be here today Without You, Jesus my life would be lost. Without You, I’ll never know what it cost To see You, lay Your life down for me From my past now I’m free Tell me where would I be without You. Tell me where would I be without You Wouldn’t be here today without You Wouldn’t be here today without You I can take a plane high up in the sky and fly for a million miles |

Verse 1
I know they hurt you They saw you stumble but didn't help you And now they left you They were quick to pray but slow to move And now you're empty Too tired to run, you walk away In the night there's a voice If you listen He sweetly says Come back to your first love [first love 2x] Come back home, back where you belong Come [to your 2x] first love You didn't make it You thought your love would last forever Ain't it funny how a chapter can make a story change Cold and lonely, you never knew hurt could feel this way Understand there's a plan if you're patient Hear the savior say Bridge God is able to heal if you listen And He'll show you His will if you listen But you gotta be still and just listen, listen Home? Home? Home? I'm Home (repeat) |

I refuse to be another black statistic
A black man who can wine and dine in the sin of the world and still be considered a christian I plan on being great I care not to be less I refuse to wear a barcode across my chest I refuse to let a black tee or throwback jersey define me I refuse to let my children witness divorce Or make mature decisions in court I refuse to grow up carrying the generational curse I refuse to feel the need to curse in my verse I hate being automatically looked at when someone asks can anyone rap I wanna be a black man that can flip it from urban to corporate measures A black man who doesn't gain knowledge from the world for his own pleasures A black man who reps christ to the fullest with no regrets My only regret is the stigma that many black statistics in the past have set Like going to jail, bragging about bail, leaving our kids, cussing at church, married and you still flirt, no father present at birth Animosity within the ministers of our church I refuse to let my people be viewed as temporary I plan on planting a seed not for the moment but for one thats legendary As for statistics My father broke the mode And i feel its my job for the next generation to continue in it Because i refuse to be another black statistic |
