Chief

||
[1st Verse]
Preaching to the mirror I profess the truth
The vocal box becoming my confession booth
Dividing soul and spirit’s what the weapon do
Seppuku my flesh double edged what I step into
Let the sword penetrate my heart, expose every idol in the dark
You're the same never change a thought, not an iota or dot
Til the sky opens apart pray to God that your eyes are opened up
Let Your Word overflow my cup fill it up bounty when I dive and soak it up
Yup, another one bout the same thing
Cause my holy God is amazing and His Son's the one I'm proclaiming and I…
Gotta let ‘em know, bout a true God not a eni mini mo
Persevering the saints He will never let ‘em go so every time I flow you already know
[Chorus]
He’s a...mazing!
The way that He’s forgiven me imprisoned He delivered me a sinner who’s forgiven
I will… praise Him!
For everything He’s given me His Holy Spirit lives in me it’s unbelievable cause I’m a chief
Chief, “chief” chief sinner
Chief, “chief” chief sinner I’m a
Chief, “chief” chief sinner
Chief, “chief” chief sinner I’m a
[2nd Verse]
Chief, full of unbelief even white sheets couldn't hide the sinner underneath
Cause of the fall we're like the leafs
Dried up only good to burn
My feathers on the ground cause there's nothing I can earn
Featherless is my headdress, chief sinner and that's at best
School of life and I'm a failed test but because of His Son I'm fearless
Timeless He's year less, no beginning, no end
No friend if you keep on sinning without conviction you don't know Him
You owe Him He don't owe you, and if you're called then He owns you
Believers like yeah that's so true, agreeing to what most don't do
They coast through, thinking they're clear in the end
I recommend thinking again this isn't something that men can pretend I'm praying to God that you turn and repent

Hypocrisy
04:01
|
|
||
[1st Verse]
I walk through them doors my head to the ground like what am I doing here
A hypocrite walking my conscience is talking like, Why they let you in here!?
I really don't know, maybe I creep in the dark on the low
Maybe I'm not what He reaps from the sown
Seeds on a street, maybe I'm those
Maybe a goat
Hopefully sheep
I'm praying my Lord the day that I die my soul you will keep
This sin is too deep
I'm able to Cain there's tears in my cheek
I'm praying I'm one that You tear and You harvest
Not tier in the wheat
[Chorus]
I don't wanna go left
I don't wanna go right
I just want to stay focused on the one
Who should be center of life
I don't wanna go up
I don't want to go down
I just want to stay here
My hands in the air my head to the ground
I hate all this sin up in my life (Hypocrisy)
I pray Lord forgive me for all my (Hypocrisy)
[2nd Verse]
Pitch black
They hunt me in the dark with their pitchforks
And a lit torch like a witch hunt, but I ain’t ever switch course
No matter which hat
Scary thing is I wanna switch back
Bait in my face like a fish trap
Wake up in the AM feeling mixed matched
I wanna praise His name but then I itch scratch
There's a rash on my flesh
Can’t help feeling like I’m trash in this mess
You’re burden is light so I’m casting my stress
Snitch rat myself I’m masking the rest and I know...
That You know it all
I stand and I fall but You’s who I call
Usually losing it all
But cause You preserve every saint I ain’t losing at all
Holy Spirit seal me, I’m praying that you heal me
Forget relevant I’m tackling the elephant
And if you’re a sinner who needs hope, feel me
This sin is too deep
I'm able to Cain there's tears in my cheek
I'm praying I'm one that You tear and You harvest
Not tier in the wheat

Impossible
03:31
|
|
||
[1st Verse]
I know without You it’s impossible
For me to overcome the obstacle of sin, no option we need Him
Adoption from the King sickening toxins from within
From the day that we are born rebellion where we all begin
Hopefully not where we end, I’m not even gonna pretend
Like it’s something light cause nothing’s like the fire for the condemned
A liar from the beginning, a liar til the end
A lion in a den the one that sinner’s are trying to defend
My God is coming again “Come again?”
If your spirit is dead you can’t understand a word I said hold up let me say it again
Jesus is coming back He is the one we lack
Demons on full attack gee-wiz no doubting that
No turning back face Him and without grace
You're not a soldier for Jehovah then about face
I used to doubt grace, now all about grace
And all my sins erased, where there was doubt faith
[2nd Verse]
To beat me to submission, an Ethan Hunt mission
Without the victory I hated Christians never listened
To the gospel they proclaimed I was hostile to his name
I was born with a nature that was impossible to change
Colossal was my range of sinning my brain deranged
Only natural at the time my mind thought nothing strange
But something strange happened after hearing about the Son
I starting fearing the One I didn’t care about when young
I was undone, knew His wrath coming
Something I couldn’t run from, no clue I was becoming
A sinner to a saint, almost made my mama faint
The magma chamber was my home now convinced the lava ain't
The fire’s for the liar and the souls that expire
Not believing in the Messiah who rose to a place on higher
I know that most desire something sweeter than what’s provided
But bitter’s better than lying and perfection is required
[Chorus]
You know it’s impossible for me to truly love you
Unless He gives me grace give me a taste of what’s above you
Symbolism peace the war’s deceased that’s what them doves do
I just want to love You, I just want to love You
But only by your grace, console me holy grace
Let me be with You forever let me see Your holy face
Symbolism peace the war’s deceased my sins erased
I just want to love You, I just want to love You

Election
03:27
|
|
||
[1st Verse]
Sovereign election, from a God of perfection
His salvation he questions every time I take a long look in the reflection
Could it really be Lord, am I really free Lord
Cause if there’s election there’s reprobate no debate pray it isn’t me Lord
I feel it in me I know it’s in me sin flowing in me
My pastor said it ain’t about your feelings but it’s growing in me
I need to break free Lord You’re the only One that break up out of this mess
I’m begging you I plead Lord let be the one that You call to Yourself with the rest
[Pre-chorus]
I know that You are the life and the truth and the way
Save me is all that I pray
I don’t think I can get used to Your mercy no way
So I’ll be praying and praising Your sovereign election
[Chorus]
Praising my Father’s perfection, Christ is the perfect reflection
Unworthy of Godly affection cause I was born with ungodly rejection
[2nd Verse]
I wanna be with You in heaven, praying I’m Romans 11 verse 7
Kneeling before You when I’m in Your presence, watch for the pharisee Sadducee leaven
Take heed, beware of the blind that lead, only the blind are following their lead
Christ said that, “I’m the only one you need”
So we believe Him, well… the elect believe
The entire reprobate sect deceived, Holy Spirit’s guiding and protecting me
Cause of His Son no rejecting me, till the day I’m done He’s perfecting me
He’s the only One that can set me free, set me free, set me free, Lord set me free

Forgiven
03:15
|
|
||
[1st Verse]
I find sometimes I’m cruising with the grim reaper
Conviction’s oozing as I dig deeper
My mind's filled with confusion I’m a sin seeker
These streets reek, I need a sin sweeper
A saint keeper, feeling I ain’t a keeper
It isn’t hard to tell home is hell and I’m the weeper
Gnashing of teeth smashed and crashing beneath wrath
For every sin committed He demands a blood bath
He banned the broad path, and blessed the narrow
He dressed flowers, nested the sparrow
I guess we’re shallow even worse we’re dead inside
A storm is coming get inside or you’ll be left to die
A genocide to every single sinner living
Life's a blessing that every single sinner’s given
By the Giver who gives life and gave Christ
To those not giving two, they're seeing death twice
[Chorus]
Everything I own from my flesh down to the bone
Through the Son and Him alone my sins forgiven
The King can hear my groan when I kneel before His throne
I can’t do it on my own within this prison
You are the only One that can set me free
With faith in Your Son nothing is threatening me
Everything I own from my flesh down to the bone
Through the Son and Him alone my sins forgiven
[2nd Verse]
Seventy times seven, I love His mercy
Love His grace seek His face none above surely
Not even one that’s worthy, only the Son you heard me
Only cleansed souls see heaven everyone is dirty
At 30 began His mission the plan submission
I pray to God you pay attention understand and listen
Not every fan is Christian, they know flow is tight
But if it ain’t about my Christ then I ain’t flowing right
And all I wanna write about is Mercy Grace and Love
You’ll never be thirsty ever again if you just taste His Love
We should embrace the dove flying above Son of man
Concealing the truth the reprobate will never understand
I really hope I got you thinking about it wondering
Cause there’s no second chance after they put you under man
6 feet deep gnashing teeth where sinners weep
Reap sheep keep that’s the Shepherd you should seek

[1st Verse]
Blood flows thicker than water
All this flesh inside I'm a slaughter
“They going in.” I'm a go harder
“Growing in sin.” I'm with the Father
They're like, “Yo, don't even bother.”
I'm like no, don't even start up
I'm at the finish line with the Son
I didn't finish mine and I'm done
I'm like get in line and get some
But I'm spitting rhymes that they shun
Man this crooked generation
Not even looking for salvation
But what I'm cooking I got them looking like, “Yes I think I'll have some.”
I'm gonna chef and serve til there's non
And guess what bro? “What up though?”
I got an eternal supply, setting you free er than 4th of July
Hoping you ain't burning up when you die, wondering why? Why? Why? Why?
Why don't they reach for the sky? Taking a piece of the pie
I’m giving them hope but they’re looking like nope they believe in a lie
Rejected although it’s attractive, foolish to spirits inactive
Sin isn’t passive holding them captive
Hommie to sin I’m a captain, but I’m gonna win the Captain
Wasn’t a son of the One who gave life, now one with the Christ is isn’t just rapping
They’re like, “What happen to him man? Used to be macking to them man
Used to be snapping when there’s beef, now he’s just napping through it man”
Cause i fully grasp and understand
How I'm just passing through this land
Hoping what I'm passing to your hand
Will cause you to pass away to stand
As a brand new man with a brand new purpose
When He comes again better stand for certain
Fully God fully man I'm certain
And He's standing on the serpent
And His hand is in the furnace
Giving me grace I should be burning
A taste the saints are yearning, so thankful for discernment
[Pre Chorus]
I'm thankful Lord that You gave me eyes to see, yeah
A sinner Lord but Your truth resides in me, yeah
In need of grace for the sin inside of me, yeah
You lead the race and Your Word guiding me, yeah
[Outro]
Girded up ready to battle
Steady with bars that'll rattle
Float in the ocean no paddle
Reeling them in I'm a fisher of men in the end he will slaughter the cattle
This ain't for those that are fragile

Steady Bow
04:32
|
|
||
[1st Verse]
Yeah, Lord knows them bow & arrows is aiming
I keep my focus on the narrow it's part of the training
Caught between insane and the other battles I'm facing
Bushwick bill on the pavement is this my mind playing
TRICKS -on me, this fear got a GRIP
But Not stronger than HIS hold on me not letting me slip
When the burden feels the heaviest and the levy is broke
My battle won ahead of me so the weight is dead in his scope
My enemies having visions of me, under siege in preparation
I live on my knees- in the hands of God I'm found greater
And Stay up knowing those same enemies will bow later
But don't just take my word for it
The process as hard as it gets
It pushes me forward-- he is the fortress
Where there's a storm, there is reign
And he does, therefore the struggle is gorgeous
[Chorus]
[2nd Verse]
Story of my life I was born in sin
Until I met Him, then I was born again
Double birth, single death
I'm thanking God cause without there's not a single breathe
Cymbals left, the melody is right
Kick and snare in the middle I'm on the center mic
Telling the world surrender to the Christ
Their hearts are cold frozen in water iced
Like icebergs, sinking their own ship
They're double minded, they got their dome split
I'm feeling homesick, want to be home quick
My life is in His hands, my God He owns it
[Chorus]
[3rd Verse]
The pressures from the world wanna choke life
I choke slam doubt cause I know Christ
In the dark I stand out cause I glow light
I got ‘em like “How he spit Christ and flow tight?”
Truth is it don’t matter what I flow like
All I wanna do, is show the world Christ
Not what the world likes, I already know
Take heed the warning there’s an arrow in a steady bow

[1st Verse]
Christ rules everything around me God over money
Dollars dollars kill ya'll, studying the truth
I'm feeling to fill ya'll
We are in a war, this isn't a drill ya'll
And still ya'll treat it like a game, see it's not a game
And if it was I'd MJ beat it like a game
I am undefeated I'm completed in His name
There's no competition no competing with the King
And my King is bigger than the sins I've committed
The Word of God is always on my head like fitted
Snap back backpack full of raps and bibles
In a world full of dead souls stacking idols
1 stack, 2 stacks 3 stacks 4
Stack 'em all up they'll never reach my Lord
I reach for my sword as I preach my Lord
Let the Word cut you open now meet my God

[1st Verse]
Mission in the field, the field is the mission
Hoping that they'd listen, praying for submission
I AM the Fisher, for Him I'm fishing
Catch 'em never ditch 'em, before they're in the kitchen
Cooking in the fire, flames don't expire
Fireman hired in His name no one higher
The devil is a liar, put ‘em in the fryer
Kill the sin desire that be burning up inside ya
Burn, burn, let that thing burn
Throw it up and leave it dog never to return
Proverbs 26:11 better learn
I’m trying to be up in a perfect Heaven I can’t earn
Spiritually concerned, my only hope Christ
Who lived a perfect life, the perfect sacrifice
Risen on the 3rd day seated on His right
He died for my sins, His wounds paid the price
[Chorus]
What you want do?
Do you want the truth or do you want to lie
If I tell you the truth
Will you believe it or deny?
[2nd Verse]
Track on repeat, nothing can compete
And I ain’t even talking bout me jumping on the beat
Don’t confuse the content with arrogant conceit
Listen within context I'm praising at His feet
He raised ‘em from His sleep, He rose and took a seat
God said job well done Son it’s complete
Sin obsolete, grace absolute
Attention, brothers in His arms I solute
He recruit those He chose before creation
Only through His Son, there’s hope for salvation
Hope for the nation, nations, world wide
Straight and narrow, stop walking on them blurred lines
Before you end up cooking like a stir fry
But sinners hate truth they prefer lie
So let me lie, forget what I said
But trust me when you die you’ll regret that you did
[Chorus]

Turn to You
04:42

[1st Verse]
Transparency is something that they wanna see
There's only sin in me introducing my enemy
He's not a friend of me always trying to be friending
But I'm always de-friending cause he's not who he pretends t be/
He treads carefully without offending me
Promises paradise but hell is where he's sending me
And who's defending me when the world is commending me
Applauding my direction only hell is where the end should be
Where I'll be burning up for eternity
Trust me this is something that truly burdens me
But the urgency is real
I'm trying to show you the truth before the bird swoops to steal
Before the world chokes the living life out of a field
That could be harvest for His glory, His story is revealed
But to a lifeless sinner, the story is concealed
Hidden from his sight, I pray your eyes are healed, for real
[Chorus]
[2nd Verse]
Truth remains all this pain in my brain and my heart
Tearing me apart is coming from a sin stain
Call it sin pains
I used to love the sinners gym getting sin gains
But ever since He came, I never been the same
And He's to blame praise His name I would've been in flames
Hell fire no liar the Messiah reigns
That’s why the choir’s singing praise no retired days
Either way we are slaves even prior slaves
The difference now is that I’m slave to a God of grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
I meet the ground give Him praise cause the sheep are found
The devil creeps around like a lion seeking to devour
Assuming I’m a coward but I’m speaking by His power
We can never cower, my Father is a tower
Beacon in the dark, until my final hour. Peace

1st Verse:
Breathe, life, death, life/
Revived from the grave I'm alive, twice/
Living in the dark to survive, light/
The only to tell I've arrived, Christ/
Cross, ankles breaking off/
Not knowing what's I'm going but He came to save the lost/
It's sad He had to die but I'm thankful for the cause/
He rose up anyway so I don't count it as a loss/
Oh you lost? Hold up, let me slow it down/
I pray to God you are found/
And not found out, by Him who's crowned out/
I sow a seed He gives life and from the ground sprout/
And that's what I'm about, what unbelievers doubt/
I know they're deaf and blind so I show them as I shout/
I try to give it straight they want the run around route/
They’re ducking from the truth cause I’m gunning down doubt/
I’m going all out, holding back for nothing/
No one, in the lab moulding rap destruction/
Til your heart’s erupting, in the dark corruption/
They’re talking bout nothing don’t pardon my interruption/
Death 2 Life Productions, that’s who I be reppin/
The Word of God is loaded like an automatic weapon/
Sodom Gomorrah lessons, read, learn/
Pardoned through the SON, believe, turn/
Repent salvation ain’t something we, earn/
And if it wasn’t for this blessing, we’d, burn/
Forever, forever ever? Forever ever?/
Casted out eternally going to heaven never/
Break -
Back to the subject, whether you hate or love it/
Money’s good but I’d rather a never ending budget/
Where rust can’t destroy it, thieves can’t touch it/
The law of God is perfect and He stands above it/
Jesus is coming, nowhere to run or hide/
Don't act dumb when He comes with Wrath wondering why/
Cause I told ya so, I told ya so/
Don't act like you don't know homie I told ya so/
Break -
Listen to me carefully, sin it want’s to burry me/
It doesn’t like the truth so my flesh is always dearing me/
Messing with me spiritually a blessing that He bares with me/
He bore sin so I can be forgiven are you hearing me?/
Is anybody hearing me!? Holy Spirit carry me/
Because of sin I’m damned the blood of the lamb is clearing me/
I'm thinking it's clear as can be/
I'm really hoping this ain't just me tearing a beat/
My God is victorious I ain't fearing defeat/
The footstool ain't about Christ airing His feet/
My God is on the battlefield no one's there to compete/
The devil really isn't who he's appearing to be/
Pay attention! Don't let me disappear in the beat/
Not a gangster but for the lost there's tears on my cheek/
The Holy One’s the only one they ain’t caring to seek/
Lord lend me your ears I hope you’re hearing my plea!
Break -
Dear Father, Holy Holy Father/
Cows are getting fed growing fatter for the slaughter/
Help them understand that disaster is in order/
In order to again be born spirit and water/
Please Father, please let them see Father/
But if it’s not in Your will then let it be Father/
We're just clay in His holy hands and He’s the Potter/
All these hearts locked, you are the key Father/
As for me Father, you know I'm struggling/
I'm trying to stay afloat, temptations bubbling/
I'm going long hail marry without fumbling/
Tackling idols that arise when they stumble in/
I feel like Jackie Chan in the Bronx rumbling/
They built their walls high, but they’ll be crumbling/
Thinking they’re fortified, Your patience humbling/
Believing they can remove You from heaven’s troubling/
Your wrath’s doubling, they laugh and double sin/
But they’ll be burning eternally in the coming end/
That’s I’m praying Lord forgive ‘em please let ‘em in!/
Make them babes in Christ until they’re veterans/
Becoming slaves to Christ there is no better plan/
If you don’t understand, you better get it man/
Before just God, no man can ever stand/
Without Christ from Heaven you’ll be forever banned/
