Can't Stop 04:03
I’d like to welcome ya’ll back. (it’s bout that time man.) Yea I know it’s been a while. (I’m back) Lazarus (ya’ll ready?) Yea I might fall, I might fail. I might break down when no one is around. I might mess up, I might fall behind. But I'm only human, make mistakes all the time. But,… (X8) I Can’t Stop!! Lord knows, I'm trying to be a better me, Perfect I can never be, But He set me free, yes indeed, I'm living by the spirit cus my flesh is weak! I know the enemy is waiting for the end of me, And everything he says to me, is only to bring death to me, Aiming, letting double shots off, Yosemite. Patiently waiting for when he gets to see me rest in Peace. Best believe I understood one day I'll be a memory. Until that day I'm giving him 100, Century. Probably should’ve died, but he showed my new life and so being alive, I'm blessed to be. He’s my remedy, my heavenly extra-terrestrial celestial ecstasy. Want to live forever, 6 feet under’s already hella deep. My gift is His, and I kick it like Eddie G; Tekken 3. I’m a mess believe, I'm filled lots of mistakes. Still I plan to live his will, with no stopping or breaks. Yea I might fall, I might fail. I might break down when no one is around. I might mess up, I might fall behind. But I'm only human, make mistakes all the time. But,… (X8) I Can’t Stop!! Now I do not believe in symbols and signs; ain't God to me, ain't stopping me, I gotta speak the truth, to help those in spiritual poverty. I'm speaking of myself as well, cus I really need it honestly. So if this is route you choose, then I'll walk with you, hope you walk with me. I've made so many mistakes and I still do, man I’ll never be perfect. Sometimes I feel like bailing, like this righteous walk ain't working. But there's people who never met God outside of our churches. Selfish being self-centered; New day, new bodies lie in hearses. So I go in for this purpose, the serpent is steady lurking always reminded me of my mistakes, telling me that I'm worthless. But Jesus died to save me, according to him I'm worth it. Never be the same, His name I my worship for my conversion so. Yea I might fall, I might fail. I might break down when no one is around. I might mess up, I might fall behind. But I'm only human, make mistakes all the time. But,… (X8) I Can’t Stop!! Yea I might fall, I might fail. I might break down when no one is around. I might mess up, I might fall behind. But I'm only human, make mistakes all the time. But,… (X16) I Can’t Stop!!

Turn Up 03:59
Can’t stop! It’s been, two whole years since I've been in the game. Didn't change, L-A-Z, still the same. I'm still insane in the brain, Still give His name praise while we let the instrumental bang. Can't stop. (Can't stop) Still make the place hot, make the stage rock, make the bass drop, Make em take shots, but I ain't talking about liquor. I'm talking throwing stones cus we kick it with them sinners. Look, I let em know, there's a King, a forgiver. If life is a gift, that means there's a giver. You need peace, my Father redeems and delivers. Your masters a beast but he's seeking to kill ya. Stone cold killa, not a friend of me. Telling me heaven cost a cross, but hell is free? Well I'll pay that cross, if it means I'll get to be, with my heavenly dad, while His wrath’s poured on His enemies! These rappers just don't get it, I'm built to stand out, so I know I won't fit in. Still aiming for them dope boys dope dealing, cold killing, coke sniffing, best believe we goin get em, yea. I ain't God, I don't have to see anybody change. All I gotta do is plant a seed. I'm just, trying to share truth, even if I'm scared too, Though I shouldn't be, cus this news helps bare fruit. See I’m, still in the house, spit for the people that's living in doubt. This is about, giving em hope, so I’m speaking of truth and I’m living it out. Still with a team that won't break, chill as can be but don't play, Still here with me so shout out to MC and Shalom J. We the same team, Same bros same home with the same King. Same goals, same shows with the same dreams. Y'all claim the thrown is your own but you ain't King. Cus being good and being God ain't the same thing. As good as you may be. Your deeds can't save you, save her, save me. He chose to save when he rose on Day 3. That’s what makes me L-A-Z. Turn up! We turnt Up, can't stop. Stay turnt, even when the beat drops. He's Boss. I'm not. And with that cross, I'm bought! And so they know I (x3) Can't stop, won't stop I won't stop til I'm brought back home to pops, Turn Up! Yea I'm back now, All you foes who oppose better back down. God runs this, I'm still in the background, & ya'll don't want to stick around when He's back round, Cus he ain't playin boy He's laying that smack down, So goin get right. Sin is wack; don't see it, than you won't see light(C-lite). They turnt off molly, and a couple of shots. We’re high off the spirit, so the high never stops. Nah! No kidding, you want it? Come get it. We live by His will; we take it and run with it. Yea I rap about God but still get dumb with it, Have fun with it, til He tells me that I'm done with it, yea! So for those who thought I was gone after Unknown, Take it from Chris and Marshall, you dead wrong. I stay up, and stay prayed up, no time to wait up, We let the system bang and turn all the way up! We turnt Up, can't stop. Stay turnt, even when the beat drops. He's Boss. I'm not. And with that cross, I'm bought! And so they know I (x3) Can't stop, won't stop I won't stop til I'm brought back home to pops, Turn Up! (x3) Can't stop, won't stop I won't stop til I'm brought back home to pops, Turn Up!

Lord I'm sorry I've been feeling lost, losing sight of you, losing sight of grace, losing sight of Love, losing sight of where you died for me, where my sins were erased. I need you, to come fill me up again, Cus without you, I'm bound to go back to a place I've already been. If I walk away from my faith, my next fall will hurt twice as much, Not just me, but hurt you too, you've put in so much time into us. I've been selfish, trying to find satisfaction. In all these worldly things, but now I see, it’s your Love that's everlasting. Tell me. What do I have without you? The money means nothing, If I'm empty inside, helpless with pride, chasing after the wind til I die. Lord I need you to revive me, and help me fly, wherever I be, Help me feel alive, moved by your grace, changed by the spirit inside me. (Shalom J.) I need your Love, I need your grace. I need your sunshine shining on my face. Cus I'm weaker, I'm weaker without you. I remember it, like it was yesterday, the day I first seen your grace. I fell to my knees, cried out in tears, and said Lord help me change. Then and there, I felt shame being removed. I felt a change, my heart renewed. Those brand new beer bottles in my truck got launched out the window and who, Would've thought I'd come home a different person with God by his side. With a passion made of fire, to lift up your name high. Telling all my friends, telling all my fam. I have met the Lord, I have seen his hands. Both were pierced by my sin, now it's because of Him, that I stand a changed man. Every day I was in the word, telling you my hopes, my fears, and dreams. Remembering helping out the needy, spending late nights studying and reading. But I don't know. Where did my passion go? Did it fade away cus of my greed? Was it my fear? Was it my lust? Was it my lack of love, or all the above? I need your Love, I need your grace. I need your sunshine shining on my face. Cus I'm weaker, I'm weaker without you. Lord I need you, no exceptions, I need your Love, I need your protection, Your wisdom from above, your correction, Need you to guide me, give me direction. I'm just a wreck when, I think I got it on my own, Stuck in ignorance, feeling all grown, but this walk that I'm walking, wasn't meant to be walked alone, oh no What has gotten in to me? Lost the point of you, which is intimacy. I want to Love you to my death, be discipled to preach the gospel like Timothy. With humility, show the world my Christ, prove you are King with my life, let me grow in my walk, know you'll melt off my impurities when the times right. Cus I might lose it, with all your grace I have been abusing, took up a cross, died, that's ruthless what you did for me, I'm useless Without you. How could I doubt you? Many call your name but know nothing about you, And I don't want that to be me, No I don't want that to be me. Without you I'm weak. I need your Love, I need your grace. I need your sunshine shining on my face. Cus I'm weaker, I'm weaker without you. (Shalom J) (Sing it one more time for the Lord!) I need your Love, I need your grace. (yea!) I need your sunshine shining on my face. Cus I'm weaker, I'm weaker without you. Cus I’m only weaker. My strength is gone I’m weaker…without you! Cus I’m only weaker my strength is gone I’m weaker.

You know…feel sometimes we just…die inside. Sometimes you lose your way. Walk off the path. Forget God's grace, and reminisce of your past. Like those were better days, why did I even leave em.? Desiring to be in slavery over your freedom. You use bitterness, and other people’s sin, As an excuse to go backwards, instead of pedaling. Forward and looking up to Him, Who frees you, cleans you, renews you and lifts you up again. You suppress the truth. Come up with every excuse, fight against His will. Walk away from it all, let go of the real. You leave the church, and decide to just do you. Nobody is going to tell you what’s wrong and right, taking control of your life. Taking the wheel, But your refusal to repent has left you weak and low. Heart filled with holes, instead of being filled and whole. He’s calling you home, that’s our Christ. Awaiting our return to embrace us and bring us back to life! Lord, I don’t know where I went wrong. Please bring me back to life. I’m running back into your arms. I want to come back to life, back to life, back to life. Please bring me back to life? Back to life, back to life. I want to come back to life. (Jessica Camacho) Sitting in silence, all alone. Messages blowing up my phone. When you talk to me it’s like nobody’s home. These voices in my head, I wish they’d leave me alone. Sometimes I feel there’s no hope for me, Cus my bad outweighs the good you see, What’s confusing me is God forgives though we don’t deserve it, Got on my knees, asked Him why? And He replied, “Baby girl, cus you’re worth it.” You think you’re worthless? In Him you’ll find your purpose. With every blemish, he’ll replenish with His unfailing love, Don’t look no further, just up above. Let Him be that burglar who stole your heart. Just know from His child, He never parts. Pray & ask for His perception. Lost souls in need of a resurrection, Help me see you when I look for my reflection. Bring on the trials, I can handle it. Mighty King of Nazareth. Bring me back to life like Lazarus. Lord, I don’t know where I went wrong. Please bring me back to life. I’m running back into your arms, I want to come back to life, back to life, back to life. Will you bring me back to life? Back to life, back to life. Please bring me back to life. (Jen Jimenez) Back to life, back to life. I need you back in my life. You’re the one, the only one who makes me feel alive. And no more turning back, I give you my all tonight, Jesus! Lord, I don’t know where I went wrong. Please bring me back to life. I’m running back into your arms, I want to come back to life, back to life, back to life. Please bring me back to life, back

Slow it Down 03:15
Everybody want to fall in love, everybody wants that special someone. Everybody needs somebody to be there to hold em down, when things get rocky, it don't matter if you young or not. Need somebody to be real with you. Ride or die, even if they gotta kill with you. To love you at your worst, even when you’re wrong, to have the wisdom to help and have the patience to deal with you. And I don't count myself out at all, if I said I didn't want you, I would be a darn fool, full of bull, cus we both know that it's not true. I get this sudden rush when it's just us, and I know it ain't lust, we’re even into the same stuff. Reading books, working out, getting turnt, on a mission to make Jesus famous. We want to rush things, but what's the rush? I Know we don't lack trust, we just both hate waiting. But if we want to be blessed by God than our relationship will require a bit of patience. One day, you'll be my bride, my wife. On that day the sun will be shining bright. You'll be mine for life, so let's slow down. If it's meant to be, God will bless us when the time is right. I'm not saying it's over. But it just feels so fast. I seen so many heartbreaks, I'm not searching for that. Everyone's in a hurry, to meet and fall in love. And once they do, they see it's not what they thought it was. I know we've had our share of pain, Mistakes and hearts aching, all I'm asking for is patience. Can we slow it down? Slow it down Let's slow it down. I see our younger generation, being fed this lust, it's like they're supposed to believe the romance novels, movies and music, like it's always love at first sight? But that's rarely ever the case, real love needs time put in. It needs work, needs faith, needs patience, and most importantly it needs God up in it. So you could speed it up but no it won't last. You’re sure to lose the wheel when you’re moving too fast. That's why you give it to God, he'll make sure you don't crash, So the future plans you have don't become a thing of the past. Went from a few walks and a few laughs, to a few hugs and a few hands. With a small kiss and a light touch, movie night, with cuddles and arms crossed, to sleeping over, hands on each other, and lights cut off. Slow it down. I apologize I know you’re a bit confused. But just let me explain. I'm not saying it's over. But it just feels so fast. I seen so many heartbreaks, I'm not searching for that. Everyone's in a hurry, to meet and fall in love. And once they do, they see it's not what they thought it was. I know we've had our share of pain, Mistakes and hearts aching, all I'm asking for is patience. Can we slow it down? Slow it down Let's slow it down.

Ignorant 03:39
Oh my God baby, do you hear those boys out there with all that music? All that loud bass? Oh my goodness, oh good grief! Do you hear all of that noise? Driving around in that little ghetto, what you call that thing? Oh a Nissan, oh ok. Jesus, please maintain these ignorant little boys, before I have to get my twerk on them. In Jesus name, Amen. I said I'm riding round in my city. Bump it loud so they hear me. Riding down ya block, got a couple of my boys with me. We spazzing, we wilding. We let that system thump, no we don’t worry about them haters. Nah. Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignorant? Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignant? Ok, I'm about to get a little ignorant, I been gone some time, but I'm still legit. Any beat that bumps, Ima kill it quick, show em how to get it like a true lyricist. I'm a real emcee, I feel the beat, typically lyrically I be ripping it, O.G.s even admit, when I spit it, they feel it, be like the kid is ridiculous and I'm repping Christ. He's the key to life, me and him are spiritually intimate. He died for me, I plead not guilty, though I'm far from innocent. So I'm trying to give my all, my mission’s the great commission. We fishing for those in prison, and them killas pistol gripping, Dudes fighting drug addictions, reach out to men and women. Anybody dying, we show em the Savior, not religion. We trying to change the culture, diminishing competition and give em the hottest rhythm, delivery got rip em. And we spazzing, we turnt up, and we wilding. We get cray, when this song plays. They look upset, and we smiling. Like don't you know we illy? Boy you know the deally, Never worry bout y'all really. Thug Life, can you feel me!? I'm riding round in my city. Bump it loud so they hear me. Riding down ya block, got a couple of my boys with me. We spazzing, we wilding. We let that system thump, no we don’t worry about them haters. Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignorant? Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignant? I keep it Cali, (keep it so cal), La to the fullest. Never had to bust a glock although we had to dodge them bullets. Cus they shooting over problems they ain't got nothing to do with. Many of em doing life and they'll tell you for something foolish. Some of em in a box, others of em in a cell. Hope they come to Christ, why wouldn't they, if there life's already hell? And them flames hot, keep playing, that's where them games stop. No black ops, no X-box, afraid not, going down like them rain drops. So I can't stop, no matter what. Let the truth spill outta me. You’re stuck in sin, that why's he came and gave his life at Calvary. It's not about the salary it's about reality. Fake rappers claiming Jesus, to make money off my family!? Blasphemous! Watch all the rappers you rapping with. He gave me life, Lazarus. He who believes, though he were dead, yet shall he Live. Problem is I couldn't get ignorant if I tried, Cus Jesus is living in me, so that you can Come Alive!! I said I'm riding round in my city. Bump it loud so they hear me. Riding down ya block, got a couple of my boys with me. We spazzing, we wilding. We let that system thump, no we don’t worry about them haters. Nah. Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignorant? Think I might get a bit ignorant. Can I get a little ignant?

U know, when I look back at my life, I'm reminded of all my shortcomings. My struggles, my failures. It's painful. But I'm also reminded of my change, and my drive, my purpose, my family. I’ve learned from my mistakes, so even that which was bad has become good. and I'm grateful, you know? (Alexis Nicole) When I look back at my life, all the memories, Everyone I've loved, all my friends and my family, When I was in pain, won't forget who was there for me. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I've got to say that (X3) I'm grateful. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I'm grateful. Sitting back with an open album full of pictures. Remembering the times that I’ve had, the good and bad. Like those late night convos in the kitchen with pops, Those deep talks with my team, sharing our thoughts and dreams. Parties and bonfires with my friends, Late drives to the beach, gazing at the ocean, enjoying the wind. Those butterflies when I met my first love, and though that's long gone, I can still remember her touch. Every competition and every concert I've been in, was a pleasure and honor, cus my Savior was always in em. Only memories, but I'm still blown away though. Cus even though some of those moments weren't great, I'm still grateful. When I look back at my life, all the memories, Everyone I've loved, all my friends and my family, When I was in pain, won't forget who was there for me. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I've got to say that (3X) I'm grateful. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I'm grateful. I'm thankful for all my pain, all the moments of change, helping me grow, and see beauty in everything. As a family we sometimes struggled, and had to go through some flames. Won't sit alone in the sun, I'll be with yall in the rain. We’re growing as a fam, and we never had this planned. Now we know the Lord is good, and He's got us in His hands. So we understand, we can't break apart. Though our cuts are still healing from eachother's words that were razor sharp. Remember y'all who were there, in all my times of despair, y'all forever in my heart for showing me that you care. Really nothing can compare with all our moments together, And I feel better than ever, cus things will only get better. When I look back at my life, all the memories, Everyone I've loved, all my friends and my family, When I was in pain, won't forget who was there for me. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I've got to say that (3X) I'm grateful. What I've learned has made me stronger today. I'm grateful.

Yea! Looks like we got a full house tonight. MC Valiente, Shalom J. It don’t matter where you go, you’re always going to find us. Everywhere we are, North, South, East and West. We worldwide, got fam overseas and yes. In the church, the mall, the streets we rep. Could even find us in the club like 50 Cent. Getting our praise on, might have chux or j’s on. Snap backs, couple tatt’s, long hair it ain’t wrong. While everybody’s getting their paper chase on, We’re shining light on the world like all day long. From the highest mountains to the lowest valley, From New York all the way to Cali. We’re in Seattle, and out in Vegas. Houston, Dallas, whole state of Texas. Puerto Ricans and Mexicanos. Cubanos y Dominicanos. Costa Rica a Nicaragua. Predicando la palabra del Rey que salva. All places, nations, ages, races. Leave a legacy for the next generation. Una cancion para mi generacion. Bailaremos in celebracion y adaracion. Es tiempo de despertar, Es cierto que Dios tiene algo muy especial Para to vida, su amore s muy profundo. Y lo puedes encontrar en todos partes del mundo. (2X) And we be all around the world like!.. (MC Valiente) I’m so ridiculous, it’s in my genes. Rocking stages since I was a teen. Unstoppable. Tell me how can you stop this? No record label and I’m fly like a rocket!? Doesn’t make sense. He shouldn’t be that. Walk, talk like that. His pockets ain’t fat. People want to tell me how to live my life. So if I follow all your rules, Imma be alright? (c’mon man) Your concern is appreciated. But I’ve been doing this before my friends had babies. I’ve been keeping it trill, Like Ben on 100$ bills. Everywhere I go, these mics I’m killing. God is with me so you know I’m living. Dragon fire spitting as I keep on grinding, Craig and Day-Day back for a different Friday! Clap with me now! Clap with me now! All around the world, no one’s stopping me now! Clap with me now! C’mon clap with me now! All around the world, no one’s stopping me now! Courageous, contagious on a daily basis. Byways and highways, this gospel I’m taking, Courageous, contagious on a daily basis. All over the world, so many places. (2X) And we be all around the world like!.. (Shalom J.) Hey! Everywhere you go, you’ll find us. Everywhere we go, we keep it real. There ain’t no where you can hide cus, see God there I bet you will. You already know, Everywhere you’ll ever go… (3X) We be all around the world like hey! (hey!) Ayo! (2X) And we be all around the world like!..

How did I get here? I don't really know. I could pretend I feel free when I really don't. Been trying to find peace and don't know how to. And everything in me tells me there's no peace without You. But I'm feeling doubtful. Where do I turn for guidance? All those voices, telling me they care are getting silent. Pain has caused me to put out my flame. I'm reminiscing of when I was changed hoping things could be the same. My heart longs to be in Your presence. Seeing Your glory, feeling You breathe like our first parents. I'm not sure how we went from hearing You talk, To the world having debates on whether You’re here or not! oh how far! (Alexis Nicole) How I’ve fallen. How far I’ve gotten away from You. (How far so far away from You. How far, so far I’ve fallen.) I’ve lost my way to You. And I want to feel You breath, I need You here with me. Want to return to perfect unity. You made us spirit, soul and flesh; naked without shame. We disobeyed You even though You warned us about the pain. But wanting to be You, we made a decision. Gave up our innocence to satisfy the cravings within us. And went from walking in the spirit to walking in the flesh. Kicked out the garden rejecting you and choosing death. Now we downplay our sin, like it’s not destructive. The result is walking an earth, evil and corrupted. Everyone aiming for glory, fighting for fame. Give it a few decades, no one remembers their name. So there's gotta be something bigger than me. We still enslaved, though You've proclaimed us forgiven and free! oh how far! How I’ve fallen. How far I’ve gotten away from You. (How far so far away from You. How far, so far I’ve fallen.) I’ve lost my way to You. And I want to feel You breath, I need You here with me. Want to return to perfect unity. I hear them talking bout her as nothing more than a body. Lusting after appearance. But I look at her and see someone made in Your image. We've rejected Your wisdom. So we never become men just boys with selfish ambitions. So far from Your intentions, spiritual death. We turn down Your plans for us and settle for less. And I've got to be so forward and bold in confession. Cus they’re watering down Your truth, so it won't be offensive. We’re all sinners and fallen short of Your glory, greatest story ever told but no one’s telling this story. That as rebels, You save us and make us new and will soon return us to a perfect state of being with total intimacy with You. (Alexis Nicole) How I’ve fallen. How far I’ve gotten away from You. (How far so far away from You. How far, so far I’ve fallen.) I’ve lost my way to You. And I want to feel You breath, I need You here with me. Want to return to perfect unity.

Got the game locked and your chains popping, you bout as clean as it gets? Claim ya’ll running things, you moving weight, claim to be king of the streets, But how many rappers goin be the king all at one at time? Ya'll aint making sense to me. Hear em bragging bout they dollars, always all up in their music yo. But behind the scenes, aint making much, could barely afford to hit the studio. Unusual, don’t you find that funny? How every rapper claims that he’s had that honey, could kill emcee’s with his raps like mummies, speaking words that possess no life like dummies! Ignorant. Worshipping themselves. Somebody should’ve told em that we all need help. Got homies that’s dying and a bro in jail. I'm looking for hope while they telling these tales. Yea, you claim to be hardest, who cares if you claim be the best. You could make words rhyme? That’s good for you, but can you resurrect from the dead? Cus my sin is like a weight that my shoulders could hardly bare. Need someone to clean me up, and come rid me of my despair. I don’t need more of these lies, need someone to tell me the truth. Ya'll keeping giving these gimmicks, knowing dang well that isn't you! (2X) You said you balling, you stacked. But ya'll aint living like that! Claim you hustling, you pimping. But ya'll aint living like that! Claim ya'll run the streets, and you packing heat but. ya'lll aint living like that! Quit the faking, who you kidding homie, ya’ll ain't living like that! (Trill!) (Trilogy) Bring the buckets, cus you know I make it rain. Hold up, (What’s the budget?) bro you know we go insane. Throwing hundreds, popping bottles, smoking weed I need some goggles. Got a bedroom full of models, so geeked up like Aristotle boy! I’m the boss, living like that, pimping like that, Yea I’m mobbing like that, going hard like that, going HAM like that! Say you living like that, why you lying like that? You ain’t living like that. You ain’t living like that. Why you living like that. Lie after lie, man you living like that! So many lies that you put in our plan, You feeding to kids and you put in their ears and you do it for years just to get a reaction? Day and day pass and your making that money, But when your time comes, it won’t come down to money, Your living your life ain’t got no satisfaction. So what’s the truth huh? No one’s perfect, we’re all fallen I ain’t judging bruh! He paid that price so thop the ‘swerving’ stop the fronting, yup! He paid that price with all his blood and now he’s calling ya!

Makes Sense 02:59
Can’t stop! Ayo, it’s crazy to think of where I am now. I see a lot of ya’ll hating cus of where God’s brought me. It’s all good. Oh yea I could see it now. Lift off and we leaving now. Hard work done paid off for me. I know they believe it now. So I can’t see the ground underneath my feet. And some goin love me some goin hate me. And it all makes sense to me. It all makes sense to me. Always aimed for success, Cus I was sick of always chasing a check. Plus I stay in the West, Southern Cali, yea I changed for the best. The path that seems right to man is the way to his death. Said I'm all in for Christ, through sitting on the fence. Time to give it all I got, through sitting on the bench, So people that I use to called friends, are no longer around, but it's all good, it makes sense. Take a look at me, what you see's what you get. I know I'm never perfect, even when I feel I'm at my best. Every step higher, there’s always another step. When you’re tired remember that there’s always another breath til it's time to go. Live like nothing's impossible. Praying I'll have the faith to trust God through my obstacles. If they hate me I just gotta let it be. Gave up the world for something better so it makes sense to me. Oh yea I could see it now. Lift off and we leaving now. Hard work done paied off for me. I know they believe it now. So I can’t see the ground underneath my feet. And some goin love me some goin hate me. And it all makes sense to me. It all makes sense to me. Though I'm a sinner that's still in the process. I hope my family sees me and sees progress. Remember living in the projects. I made that sound too ghetto, was more like in a small complex. I really gotta thank my dad, Cus he's always had my back, just never admitted that. And it's because of the King that I got to see, how living a life of truth really ought to be. You ever deal with those moments that make it hard to breathe? Blood pumping so hard, your think your heart will bleed? Yea, I know the experience. Been searching for myself, yea I'm the experiment. If they hate this, I use it as motivation. To shine light and tell the world about the road I'm taking. And try not to hurry things when I grow impatient. Cus I don’t want to waste the rewards of waiting. Oh yea I could see it now. Lift off and we leaving now. Hard work done paied off for me. I know they believe it now. So I can’t see the ground underneath my feet. And some goin love me some goin hate me. And it all makes sense to me. It all makes sense to me.

Yo, I’d like to dedicate this to someone I catch myself thinking about, someone who should’ve been here today. Someone who my family and I should’ve met but never did, Someone who’s missing. Now I don't know how to start this, I know we really don't know each other. But your mom is my mom, yea that's right, I'm your older brother. And no we never met, and I never even really knew that you left. I was only 9 years old, unaware that mom wept. I wasn't really old enough to contemplate death. And as time went by, I didn't realize or care still. Whenever the fam was together having a good time, there should've been one more chair filled. I guess heaven couldn't wait, We never heard your voice, or seen your face. Never got to hear ‘it's a boy, it's a girl’, never got to hear how much u weighed. You left us before you could meet us. Why did it have to be? If God had let you out the womb, there'd be one more face in these pictures of our family. Nevertheless I'm excited for the day, I'm where you are, and I finally get to meet you. & I can only pray our sister's follow Christ, so that one day you could meet them too. Someone is missing. Someone is missing. And though we never met, when our families together I'll never forget that Someone is missing. Someone is missing. I guess Heaven couldn't wait for you to go home, it really hurts to know that Someone is missing... Sometimes we don't understand. The big picture just isn't clear. The ones we love disappear, while we live in a broken sinful world filled with tears. I think about 99, you would've been 15 this year. Would’ve been your own person, with likes and hates, with love and pain, with dreams and fears. Lord no matter what you choose, I pray that we worship you. Even if it hurts, especially when it hurts, it's extremely crucial that we turn to you. In you is our strength, help us trust in your promises. Believe you restore, fall to our knees, never doubt you, striving to live in Godliness. And though it's painful now, the good news should make us feel warm inside. One day Christ is returning for those who love Him and will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, no more hurt, no more pain. There's hope in Christ for you, if you trust in Him, one day the old things will pass away. So if someone is missing. If someone is missing. Though it seems hopeless, there's hope in Jesus, God heals the broken. Someone is missing. Someone is missing. One day we'll finally meet, but til then, I'll remember this, that Someone is missing. God, thank you that you are a father. We pray for those who are missing. And we pray for those Lord God, who would be coming in the future. That they would make it out of their mother’s womb, and they would make it into our church family. I invite you Holy Spirit, to rest heavily upon your people And then to compel our hearts to rejoice in hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, amen. Someone is missing. Someone, someone.

So we’ve come to the last song of this album. I’d like to thank ya’ll for riding with me. And to let ya’ll know, this isn’t the end of ‘Can’t Stop’, But it’s the beginning. Lord, You are the beginning, you are the end. You are the seven seas, the ocean breeze and the wind. You are the sunrise, and the sunset, Covenant of man and woman becoming one flesh. You are mercy, you are passion. You are ultimate pleasure and satisfaction. You are grace, you are love. You’re everything, and what dreams are made of. You are than, you are now. You are the clouds, the smile of a small child. You are laughter, you are commitment. You are hope, you are forgiveness. You are beauty, you are patience. You are the beating heart of every nation. You are creation. You are amazing, and I’m nothing Lord, really nothing. We’re here for a second and were gone the next. Will you please humble me cus I’m nothing but a breath, and I’m gone just like that. I'll never understand grace. How you took the bruising substituting for man’s place. In this race, we're all running at a fast pace in last place but still loved. Its faith people can't shake. I’m looking out into the sky and the waters, thinking what sin could possibly be too big for my father. I’ve been Adam believing the lies, hear you call me and hide. And yet even when I’m vulnerable you provide. I’ve got doubt But I’ve been forgiven nine hundred and seventy…or was or was it eighty?.. Lost count. Writing this song thinking of how this chair I’m sitting on gets replaced by a face that perishes and is quickly gone. That’s all we are, a leaf in a tree, a grain in the sand, a wave in sea. It’s crazy to me, I’m trying to grasp it. Hating our neighbors, when we both will lie in a casket. We’re here for a second and were gone the next. Will you please humble me cus I’m nothing but a breath, and I’m gone just like that. And so you are, My air when I breathe. My words when I speak. My strength when I’m weak. My heart when it beats. My life as I grow. My hype at my shows. My light when it glows. What I write in my flows. I’ve found answers but questions still lie in my soul. Is there an afterlife? Guess I’m dying to know. And Where exactly am I gonna go? When I’m dead, I’m buried, fertilizer for flowers to grow. Yet I’m full of hope, cus you came for me. Told me to trust your promise of life in eternity. So you’ll forever stay the greatest. Could save up all my life and still never afford to make the payments. Or earn my salvation, with works, or good behavior, Was cursed, til you came and changed it, I’m sure I’m still in the making but what I pray is that I give my all So I could leave in peace, when I hear you call…and I’m home. (2X) We’re here for a second and were gone the next. Will you please humble me cus I’m nothing but a breath, and I’m gone just like that. Can’t stop! (Lazarus) Gmoney! (Wusup.) Bro, so I’ve been putting together a new project man with a new message and everything. (Oh cool!) Yea man, so whenever you’re ready Let’s get it going, let’s do it, I think you really gonna like it.
