Transformation (Crucial & s.a.i.n.t. jon)

 

Intro 

 

What is a man who ignores the Light of the World as it knocks at  his door?  The Bright Morning Star hangs from the heavens, yet he dims the shades over his window.

 

Every person roaming the plains of this earth has been given a chance to tap into a vast eternity of power and freedom.  And as the sands of time pour over every generation, only a few will reach out to the One who can give them a true transformation…

 

Get ready for a transformation / Here we come with a transformation / Get it live for a transformation / Are you ready for a transformation? / Get ready for a transformation / Here we come with a transformation / Get it live for a transformation / We coming at you with a transformation! 

 

CRUCIAL 

 

Now who could take an average ordinary kid / (and) spice him up with extraordinary gifts / lacing beats with sick, stormy riffs!? / It’s GOD, I can’t help it, that’s how the story is! / Broken down empty before the Son burst / simple living liquor sipping kid from the suburbs / sifting thru my days like an endless summer; / weed smokin’ pill popping kid getting dumber / Burned a lot of bridges, broke in houses / Did a lot of dirt where the dirty south is! / It’s how I lived kid, creeping in bars / getting’ liquored up, kicked out and sleeping in cars!! / I was pretty messed up and now I regret it / Think I wanna go back?  Man, you can forget it! / I got a new life, let me make this clear / You’re times’ up, time to transform, the change is here!!

 

Hook 

 

If you live in darkness, move to light / If you’re doing wrong, come on do it right / there’s nothing to lose when you choosing life / It’ll transform your mind when you move with Christ / These MCs use the mic / To deliver Truth and boost the hype / In a dark world, we’re producing light / It’ll transform your life if you move with Christ

 

2 Corinthians 3:18 – “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” 

 

s.a.i.n.t. jon

 

We’re being renewed on a daily / Are we the same thing?  NO, we are constantly changing / Through the Word of God we’re getting trained / So off the chain!  Getting stronger like the Army and Navy / But that’s internally speaking cuz the exterior is weak and Depleting / Energy is leaking, trying to hold on to the old ways

Old wrongs / but to that life, we’re saying “So long!” / We keep it moving but we take it all in stride / Allow God to strip us of our hatred and our pride / Transformation takes patience and some time / Like transportation when you’re waiting on your ride / I understand that you feel like you’re stretched like a rubber band /

Just know that it’s a part of His plan / And it will be worth it in the end, no more looking like sin / We’ll be looking like Him!

 

Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” 

 

CRUCIAL

 

So lose the image, lose the cage / Stop being a slave to the trends of this age / You’re trapped in a sentence by a worldly phase / It’s time to break out and turn the next page! / So when you’re ready, there’s a whole other part of the book / If you missed it, take another look! / There’s a diamond inside and it’s priceless / And plus, it can show you what you’re one true purpose in life is! 

 

Philippians 3:20-21 – “But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” 

 

2 Corinthians 4:16 – “Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, (yet) inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

SPY vs. SPY (Import Alumni)

 

CMC

 

It’s not the CIA or the FBI / Now you’re deep undercover with Import Alumni / SO, get down with us and breathe / We just spotted enemy infantry / WAIT, cameras on us all up in the trees
3,2,1 took them out now we proceed / LOOK up ahead its the factory / Of the enemies empire evil and greed / SO, we take them out Emerald Eyes and me / Free the innocent and we contain the key / LEADERS of the companies until they agree
To sign the release for operations to cease / DEBRIEFING Time!  We always Optimus / Transforming their minds, there’s no stopping us / Cause Import Alumni got God with us / That girl and this guy carry on because its
 

Hook


Spy vs. spy eye for eye / If they come from the land then we’ll come from the sky / As we’re dropping outta planes infrared vision
One thing you’ll never hear: ABORT MISSION (2x)

 

EMERALD EYES (repeats x2)


Swedish lady ja, in Gavle my first case / In Scandinavia, Sweden / my birthplace / They order go! Disable target then rejoin / Hear the radio:  RALLY AT A POINT / We won that mission and now I see / How vital our vision is in this agency / So there’s no indecision in these emerald eyes / Cause I see to the truth in a world of lies

 

CMC


We undercover yeah that’s our business / Startin’ to feel like Santa Clause on Christmas / Flying through the sky like his reindeer ride / As we’re dropping down the roof the house of bad guys / Emerald Eyes proceeds to the chimney and that’s  / when
I jump off the roof past the window distraction / She presents them with a foot and a fist / Fitting for these misfits acting a Grinch / Their stealing childhood away from the kids / And our kids don’t know where their childhood is / SO until that changes we won’t be relaxing / Cause we don’t just talk IA takes action!

Let Me Tell You (Matty B feat. CRUCIAL)

 

Matty B

 

It’ll be real of me to vividly explain the validity / Of all I hold dear to me, so near to me / Seriously here to reach those in the proximity / By livin’ biblically, spittin’ lyrically what He’s given me

Hip hop is dyin’, I got the remedy / Cuz I talk to the doctor who constantly heals me, ya feel me? / We in a battle where they crop your soul / Hit the shop, stock ammo, better lock and load (let’s roll) / Cuz it’s a fight for your life / And you’re more than free to chose what ever side that ya like / But as for me I chose to be aligned with the light / And speak life when I recite the rhymes that I write / I’m in the lab where the beats stay hittin’

And the DJ’s spinnin’, MattyB straight spittin’ / Soul savin’, not entertainment so we stay authentic / Some claim it but they faker than T-pain’s singin’

 

But this Caucasian’s praisin’ / blazin’ through these tracks like “whoa” / Some people hate it / It aint fazin’ me because I know

I know who I am, better yet / I know I AM, and I am in His hands

If ya’ll don’t understand / Then here’s your chance

 

Bridge/Hook:

 

You wanna know why I rap, well I’m glad you asked / Let me tell you why / I aint in it for the cash, why’s that? / Shawty let me tell you why / It’s my season, my time, my reason for the rhyme

Let me tell you why / The truth aint hard to find / Shawty let me tell you why 

 

Matty B

 

You’ll see exactly what I mean / I’m grinnin’ cuz I’m winnin’ since I rolled with the right team / Temptation had me sidelined I was tryin’ get mine / Til I got struck like lightning / Had to fall down flat on my face / Til I saw I was trapped in a maze / Then I heard Him say “give me all your burdens” / So I called on His grace / Now I’m gunnin’ like a AK-47, straight up heated heavy / Make ‘em feel the way I hit ‘em when I get ‘em wit’ ‘em / Hit ‘em up, I bring ‘em in like a cinema / To empty out their junk like a enema / what? Pardon me for my realness / But ya’ll can’t help but feel this if you know what the deal is / And if you don’t I suggest you open up your heart and mind / cuz the truth ain’t hard to find and that’s why

 

CRUCIAL

 

Do you really wanna know why I /Rap in this game?  Flow like I / Ain’t got another care on this earth? / Man I dare you to search my rhymes and their worth / You’ll find in the words the KING OF KINGS / Matty B, Crucial speaking / Of the One who can bring you to life / And shorty, let me tell you why

Brand New (The Street Pastor)

 

Verse 1

 

They use to be like Street's so hood / now they all say he's so royal priest hood / 66 flavors, boy I eat good / I got Christ, now I'm cleaner than a fleetwood / gospel of peace, the young boy's feet good / I'm young David in the war, yeah I sling good / Psalm in your palm, tellem' sound the alarm / the cross on your neck is not a good luck charm / I'm bomb on the liar, I am calling down fire like Elijah / my attire is from higher, my Messiah / got the boy grounded like the pavement / it's fourth quarter and ya'll fouling flagrant / I've been chosen, that's a true statement / before I was born, I was scheduled for engagement, wait man / yep, yep, I got a quick lesson / you plus Christ equals no transgression

 

Hook

 

Hey man, let me make it real plain / once you meet Christ you'll never be the same / To live is Christ, to die is gain / here on earth but heavens my aim / hey you, what it is? What it do? I got Christ now, now I'm on that brand new / yeah, yeah, now let him brand you / salvations the seal, you can get brand new

 

Verse 2

 

Yo Beat Lab 7's got the track bumping / ya'll do a lot of talking, but you ain't saying nothing / I'm in the street, I'm kicking like percussion / word on the beat, double-edge sword cutting / gospel on my feet got the young boy strutting / gotta hittem' hard, good God concussion / they say they can't see Him, so they don't believe / you can't see air, but you still breath / My Lord everywhere, He'll meet you where you at / yo, you trying to find life yo, the Bible is a map / you couldn't picture that with a Kodak frame / to gain life again, I only know one name (Jesus) / Jesus Christ, when I leave this life / He's gonna give me a new voice, I don't need this mic / divine inspiration, I don't need to write / I'm swallowing living water you can keep your Sprite

 

Hook 

 

Verse 3

 

Yarv's alive, I'm on that brand new / I blow the trumpet like a high school band do / and I ain't never flip flop, no sand dude / I'm so close to the sun, with no tan dude / dude, my mind is so renewed / Romans 12:1-2, chop it up kung-fu / so if you're really with it, gotta get it, gotta live it / go ahead and eat it up, my flow so thanksgiving / yeah, and all thanks that I'm giving to the Lord, that died, rose again, now He's living / truth is boy, we already won / I am fit for the marathon, running for the Son / Christ is God, got the world in His hand / He can stop the rotation and start it up again / so give Him praise, I'm thinking that you should / two hands up like the extra point good

The Great Debate (Ruslan of TheBreax feat. s.a.i.n.t. jon)

 

Verse 1

 

You can argue about morality, and argue what's right / and if you argue over religion, you'll argue all night / some people argue to the point to where they kill and fight / but, one thing you can't argue about is a real changed life / I don't mean on the outside, I mean an inside transformation / a real conversion happens when your heart starts changing / your heart starts praising the one Son / cause Christ flipped your life like money changers in the synagogue / so, I'd rather not argue and just keep it peaceful / make sure that I love God and I also love people / I have Muslims and atheists I'd like to call friends / and I believe that He would to if He walked again / and when He walks again, I believe very few preachers will talk again / but in the mean time, we need to talk to Him / make sure that we walk are talk and talk our walk, until He comes back again

 

Hook 

 

How can it be true, we're in God's family, but act like we're on Family Feud / man looks on the outside, but God looks inward / to see if your lifestyle lines up with His Word / How can it be true, we say we love, but words are different from what we actually do / gotta love ya'll even when it hurts / love on your job, on the streets yeah, even in the church

 

Verse 2

 

They like to call me dogmatic, and think that I'm closed-minded / but, I'm the type to hold on to something when I finally find it / if it ain't broke don't fix it, and in case you ain't been listening / it's been years since Ruslan has lost his religion / but, I walk in relationship, it's amazing kid / what I've experienced and what this transformation did / I'm a new man born again, and I still struggle / but it's been ten years since I've been in legal trouble / praise God that I can hold down a job that I love and still pursue my dreams / and praise God that I have a positive self-image and no more low self-esteem / I praise God for the miracles I've seen, lame people walk, people even healed of cancer / I praise God, all done in Jesus' name, so forgive me if I think He's the only answer

 

Hook 

 

Verse 3 (s.a.i.n.t. jon)

 

Nope, it's not difficult to find different folk / who feel differently about different issues bro / from the pulpit down to the pews / we have different views, because we all stand in different shoes / yet for argument sake, we will argue and debate about the superficial, aka, icing on the cake / while underneath the chatter lies stuff that really matters / salvation of a soul is more important that your grammar / or what type of clothes he wore when he's up in church / we should be more concerned about the status of his birth / and whether or not his life has flip-flopped /  from the guy doing dirt to the guy giving God His props / does his life match up / let's back up and do the math cause, we might have some fingers pointed at us / let's not be quick to judge, but be quick to love / we can change the world with something as simple as a hug

His Redemption (Anya Dixon feat. s.a.i.n.t. jon)

 

Verse 1

 

You maybe going through a time, when it feels like no one loves you, and no one cares / well let me introduce to you, Someone whom all your problems, and all your burdens you can bear / some glad morning when this life is over, we will rise to the place, and see the Savior face to face / some glad morning when this life is over, we're gonna fly away, but until that day

Trust in the Lord in everything you do / have and faith and believe that He will always see you through / His redemption overflows / Give Him your life, He'll take your sins away / restore all your joy, all you gotta do is pray / His redemption overflows

 

Verse 2

 

The Lord is faithful and I know, that His love is like no other (His mercies are renewed every morning) / He'll take your life and make you whole, take the good and make it better, He is the reason why I sing / some glad morning when this life is over, we will rise to the place, and see the Savior face to face / some glad morning when this life is over, we're gonna fly away, but until that day

 

Hook 

 

Rap (s.a.i.n.t. jon)

 

Just like a bathtub that has too much water / redemption overflows from the hands of the Father / coming atcha fast like flash from a photograph / capture the future forget about your past / talk about redemption, yeah you can get it now / nope you ain't gotta wait like a pension / Anya Dixon, s.a.i.n.t. jon on a mission / to tell you about the Father' redemption

Focus Factor (Double Portion feat. s.a.i.n.t. jon)

Verse 1

Do not touch the unclean thing, better search the scriptures to see what He means / if you’ve been called to see what I’ve seen / but I leak the secrets in service of the King / deny myself in service of the team / He’s supplying my help in service of the teens / they feeling me cause I’m in Jordans and jeans / but, you can’t cross the Jordan if you hoarding things / I teach them how to walking by faith and not sight / yeah, you talk straight, but your motives ain’t right / you should be leading men into His marvelous light / by sharing the testimony of your marvelous fight / and all the things that He’s doing in your life / who bewitched you, switched you back to ruining your life / communication with God is more precious than a jewel / and everything that you’ve been given is your witnessing tool

Hook 

It’s appointed a man once to die then judgment / refrain from the world, don’t love it

Abstain from the world, you’ve been called to be in it not of it / set your sights on things that’s above it

It’s appointed a man once to die then judgment / refrain from the world, don’t love it

Abstain from the world, you’ve been called to be in it not of it / so you gotta set your sights on things that’s above it

Verse 2

God done really blessed your boy, but don’t sue me / I seek His kingdom, this stuff was added to me / oooweee, why your face all gloomy / it was Jesus that sat me in this place all roomy / at the table with my enemy eating on rat etui / the clay don’t ask the Potter “why You made me?” do he / to whom much is given, much is required / and when much is given, much is acquired / Your heavenly fire, that’s my desire / and stronger arms to lift you higher / and stronger arms when mine get tired / to put the game in a head lock until they call you Sire / the game’s in a deadlock until they call you Sire / I will not sell out to the highest buyer / in Your Name, I’m walking the wire, till I expire / and I’m focus on your Word, cause the devil is a liar

Hook 

Verse 3

It’ll only be a matter of time, before your mind / get’s transformed by the truth that you’ll find in this rhyme / DP, s.a.i.n.t. jon collabo, saying God’s Word shines light on the path that we travel / helps avoid the man holes, swerving in the lane / God’s Word will never change, so onto it we grab hold / use to “shoot my way” thru the jungle like Rambo / cause back in the day, I could see like a bat yo / but, no more blurry vision tho, my sight is all clear / like 20/20, 365 all year / got blinders on the left and right side like a racehorse / Why? To keep me on the straight and narrow way of course / without these, I’d be so distracted, by the cares of this world that are so attractive / I pray the flow impacts ya’, to turn to Jehovah, the Master / so He can give you a focus factor

Ain’t The Same (Seda feat. Crucial) 

 

Hook

 

I ain’t the same / Down here in the hood it aint a game / Ever since I let him in I'm re arranged / With the blood that was shed when he was slain / And now I'm  changed (2x)

 

Seda

 

I Go hard for the name / Every single second of my life is a minute that I'm pardoned again / Its hard to refrain, Giving him praise / When I very well know I'm part of the pain / Nails in his frame, Tears in his eyes / Feels worse than whatever I can feel in my life / I been thru the fight, Sin thru the night / Wake up in the  morning to his gift in the light / He's  just that cool / everything I did right before I gave it in He erased that too / Every wrong I did  he erased that too / Stress'll tear me down but I make that move / Gotta love that, its a fortune I lose /If I’m giving up the fighting for the cross - I’m gon do / Even if I got no money in the bank My home in the sky is secure when I move / I walk through the hood everyday of my life / Watching the struggle everyday with eyes / It gets worse everyday I’m alive / Sometimes I wanna leave so I look to the sky / Askin him why, but deep inside I do realize / That for most of my life I ignored and neglected that fact that He lived and he died and my Christ did arise / So I come back re arranged , I’m gon fly / With new wings I’m gon pray for the time / Kingdom come so I stay on the side / That promotes only love what a shame to the night / Sedaman not that same on the block / Sedaman not that slave to the block / Sedaman not that lame on the block / Cuz I’m saving the block in the name of my Pops

 

Hook

 

Seda

 

I ain’t gonna lie, everything in life ain’t sweet as a pie / Gonna be times that’ll teach you to cry / But its those times that’ll teach you to try gotta reach for the sky / Peace in ya sight, everyone ain’t gonna treat you  right / Some cats really gonna teach you to fight / Not with your words or ya hands, but the WORD that’ll teach you to fight / You really gotta take that stand, You really gotta make that plan / You really gotta know what to do when you do what you do that can make that man / Understand that God got a work / Hands in the air put ya knees in the dirt / Wait for a moment let him breathe in the earth / Once you see what he works then you’ll see what your worth

 

CRUCIAL

 

But here you stand, slippin’ on the guidelines / Could be in the game but you sittin’ on the sidelines / Smoking a blount while sippin’ on the fine wines / Caught up in the hype of the city and the skylines / Limited to your mind and the finite / Itching for your 15 seconds in the limelight / How’s it gonna end boy?  In a knife fight!? / Laying in a pool of blood, dead on a dry night? / So the thug life really seem to gotcha / Heat turning up in the streets like a sauna / Gangs in the hood terrorize like Osama / Shootin’ everybody from your brother to your mama / Get real, when you gonna have enough kid? / This is how it ends, think I’m bluffing!?

Either end up dead or change / Give your life to God and you’ll never be the same

Another Hypocrite (Soul The Interrogator feat. Crucial)

 

Soul The Interrogator

 

I was 27 years old when I got saved / I had one foot in the grave ready to die for the game / I want a slice of the pie and pay the price for the fame / I lived life, rollin the dice for that ice and the chain / But then Christ came I changed my life fully to him / Hes the bully to sin, Im slippin in my new skin / Now Im in it to win no mo gin and women / But every now and then it seems theres this battle within / Every other day I seem to fail a test / How can I walk? When Im trippin over my flesh? / Im starting to be living with that shame and regret / In the past I've confessed to watching pornographic sex / And yes, I detest, when my mouth gets the best of me / What are they thinking when my brother standing next to me / Judge me like a Pharisee thinking less of me? / Or will they encourage and continue blessing me?

 

Hook 

 

What will they do (Lord)?  What will they say? / When they find out this man has drifted away? / Like a dog that returned to his vomit / I know it sounds bad I just gotta be honest / What will they say (Lord)?  What will they do? / When they find this wise man turned back to a fool? / I don’t care Lord, I just need you with me / Save me from myself cuz I’m dieing quickly

 

CRUCIAL

 

Outside, standing under shelter, pouring rain / Thinking ‘bout my life, I’m struggling; torn in shame / I scorn the pain that I’ve dealt myself / I’m born again but I can’t help myself / I keep on doing these things I don’t want to do / Not just a couple times, more than a few / Times I’ve fallen back to the same old me / Like I ain’t never changed, who’s to blame but me? / I got a lot of issues I thought I overcame / But they came back to me like a broken chain / Welded back together with a stronger grip / What happened to the days when I no longer slipped? / I was an over comer, I did conquer these / Issues and habits like a walk in the breeze / I came to my knees, repented and succeeded / So why’s the wound opened back up?  Why am I bleeding? / I’m needing answers, support and love / But yo, I’m too ashamed to admit what I’ve done / What will people think when they find out I / Am just another hypocrite with a plank in his eye

 

Soul The Interrogator

 

Some days I wonder how God forgives me / When some of these believers are out to get me / And none of us are perfect but still you sweat me / And if Im out of line, you got the right to check me / But you aint got the right to judge and say Im unfit / For ministry when your old flesh wont unzip / You try to yank me straight out the pulpit / When just the other day I heard you say thats (Dont even say it) / You see, there I go being Hypocritical
Fa sho, I cannot grow so I show my flesh to the do' / (WOAH WOAH) You better slow ya roll / Cause if you slip you best pick your self off the flo' / See I aint perfect, none of us is / Thats why God sent his son to die for our sins / But still I gotta worry about those who dis / Im just tryna live but Im another Hypocrite (Come on)

Follow Thru (Elevationists)

 

Verse 1

 

As excited as I was when I got saved / I decided I was young, so I got time / high school was a modern day Cooley High / instead of truth a lot of youth chose suicide / never knew cause my light never fully shined / it was dim like a dare devil fighting / devil dared me to do it, I was scared and he knew it / knew I wouldn't follow thru / now this sound familiar? Do those around you feel a hope or do they feel at home / and how about you are you home or homeward bound? / bound to find out when down the sun goes and now it's night out, light's out and now you must glow / and corny as it sounds, "deep" ain't the noun / and "do" is the verb, follow through with the Word

 

Hook 

 

We gotta walk like He walked, talk like He talked / don't follow just a little bit, mock Him like a mirror / so Lord, if our lives are unto you / replicas of Yeshua, me and you / this is how we follow through / this is how we follow, this is how we follow through (2x)

 

Verse 2

 

I heard 50 bullet proofed his ride / I guess it's similar, my flesh is like proof to God / then swayed, did a life change over, makeover / till my life's now living proof of God / yeah, I mean it's plagiarist, how bout ya'll / echo the King's rule like response and call / lives without Him hang like really loose thin threads / it's like playing Russian Rullet with six bullets in the chamber / no flight on our own, more like a flight risk / formless types with lives hazardous / I'm cluing up ends on who the Master is / now our standard is that, that of His Highness / faces is smug when I mention the King / a modern taste chase celebrity and the finer things / but, shooting stars are the stars of today / follow the God who icons throughout the ages

 

Hook 

 

Verse 3

 

I put my life in the simulator / I saw the birth to the end and I put it right back in the incinerator / cause I gotta die (die) before I live / decision's through the Spirit, when He spoke man He penetrated / I don't own me and He don't owe me / I speak and I live it and I really ain't an entertainer / so we saved now, He took death on the cross / saved us sinners then the love He took and innovated / and so we imitate it / it's like Mike drinking Gatorade / back yard hoops, shooting fade-aways / but we gotta follow through at the stripe / or we'll be coming up short like (Lil') Wayne on the mic (psych) / I'ma stick to the program / Word in my mouth, still killing off the old man / cancelled flesh, can still test us / strong in Christ, so let's just follow through

The Place 2B (3PFD feat. s.a.i.n.t. jon)

Verse 1

In the place to be, the church is the place as such / not the building, it’s the people that make it up / but, at the center and first is Christ, in fact / cause living in Him, there’s no life like that / no other place to be than be living in His peace / and purposed eternity, where your burdens is released / just thankful that He saved me and gave me worth / cause as a youth I was rude, I had no place for church / growing up, I said “I’m never going back to church” / knowing all God, that must have made You laugh till it hurt / but, now it’s all good with Christ inside of me / who said the Christian life is lame, man they lied to me / I love hanging with my peeps, beats, rhymes and such / watching football fellowship, sweet times and stuff / and grooving to holy music, trying to work it well / but when they dance, they say, man you gon’ hurt yourself

Hook

We’re having a good time, living like we should / sanctified the beat vibes, in Christ it’s all good

Don’t need worldly stuff, called sex and cash / in fact, give me that joy and peace, it everlasts

I’m a bring you to church, it’s the place to be / finding purpose and worth in the place to be

Jesus loves and forgives in the place to be / there’s nowhere else I’d rather live but the place to be

Verse 2

Come to church, some say they can’t “get with it” / Christians hip cause there’s too many hypocrites / yeah, Christians ain’t perfect, they still need grace there / the church is the place where Jesus can change their heart / I ain’t here to judge and criticize / instead like Noah’s Ark, I suggest you get inside / yeah, the Ark had animal stink, dung and mud / but it’s still better in there, than being sunk in the flood / in the house of the Lord, I find rest and help there / better a day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere / Lord in Your church is Your peace and Your presence / plus where else you get a thousand fold return on investments / in Christ, I went from mundane, ordinary things / to unlimited potential, and extraordinary dreams / good times, real ministry, and rapping the beats, meeting Christ is the best thing that ever happened to me

Hook 

Verse 3

How good it is to dwell in unity with the brethren / underneath the roof in God’s house is where He covers them / I never let a chance go by without me jumping in / to the ride so I can hit the spot where it’s jumping man / a day in your courts is much better than / me spending a millennia in the cribs of wicked men / this world ain’t got nothing for me / as a matter of fact, without You Lord, it’s actually kind of boring / stop no need to get the rocks, I praise when I’m with the flock / when I’m not, I still drop lines like a fishing spot / I give Him props cause I think it’s hot / how He builds His church up, kinda like some building blocks / church is where it’s at kid / go on ahead and wake up, so you can stop “sleeping on it” like a mattress / I know you’re comfortable, but if you love your soul / think about hitting up a church on any given Sunday bro (yo)

Fast Food Deal (Urban D feat. Crucial)

 

Intro

 

BREAKING FROM CONVENTION:  That definitely describes me (Urban D) being a hip-hop artist AND a pastor.  So let me encourage y’all out there; be what GOD created you to be.

 

It’s your man, Urban D, reppin’ Christ down in FLA (Florida) at Crossover.  How you doing?  So many people are on a material chase, always hustling for more stuff thinking that will make them happy.  But you’ll never really be okay until you put Christ first, so listen to this…

 

URBAN D

 

The food’s so good, but what’s the ingredients?  The F.D.A. has gotten lenient, the culture’s lazy.  Who needs obedience!?  Post-modern Hollywood is blatantly leading us, the media’s greeting us; digitally feeding us, connected with wallets intervenes in us.  Pumping poisoccn to our heart!  Yeah, we do our part.  We click the icon and then we add it to our cart cuz we lack discipline.  My listeners, are you listening?  Yes, THIS AGAIN cuz we still haven’t learned.  We got directions but we still haven’t turned from our course.  I’ve seen it end in divorce!  I could scream until my voice is horse!!  Instead, I say “Look at my life, look at my kids, look at my wife!  Look at the ministry, look at the light, look at my lines and see the invite to a real family with a real meal.”  True obedience will always be the fast food deal…

 

Hook (Cut by DJ Dvize)

 

True obedience will always be the fast food deal!

 

CRUCIAL

 

So we be moving and rocking and rolling, grooving to beats so elusive like a Bermuda cruise with your speakers booming!  Keeping the levels hittin’ peaks like a fountain that’s shootin’ higher than a mountain filled with lava, smokin’ and fuming

HOT HOT!  We keep it TOP NOTCH with Dvize cuttin’ tha hook, skippin’ beats like it’s HOP SCOTCH!

Urban D. discipling, Crossover is finding men and women to get them off dope, coke and Heineken.  Oh No!  I might have been Too Bold!  A slight of pen keeps me targeting real life issues in rhymes again.  I’m a man who will not compromise; I’m speaking up to give the Truth and I be knocking the lies!  I’m not in disguise, I’m standing strong in my faith and dishing out the Word for everyone who’s longing to taste!  True obedience can be a big fat pill but if you swallow it man, you’ll get a real fast meal!

Sweet Dreams (Zee)

 

Intro

I used to wish that I could stay asleep / Cause then my life was better than when standing on my feet / Now I’m glad to say that now my life’s complete / Cause life is like a dream, and I’m awake and life is sweet
 

Hook 

Sweet, sweet dreams do come true because of you Lord Jesus (hey, hey)

Verse 1

I’m a witness that dreams do come true / I used to dream about a better life, cause I never got a slice / Of that piece of the pie they always talk about / I only had that humble pie and had to walk it out / But thank God I never had to chalk it out / Cause I’m alive today and understand what life is all about (yeah) / It ain’t about the money (nah); It ain’t about the clothes (no) / It ain’t about the honey (nah); Sho ain’t about the dro (nope)

It ain’t about none of these things that get you feigned / Cause when sun the goes down and when the clock goes ‘round

I’d rather have Jesus than the silver and gold / He can take the shattered dreams of your life and make them all sweet dreams!

Hook 

Sweet, sweet dreams do come true because of you Lord Jesus (hey, hey)

Verse 2


The world is chasing the American Dream / But when they find it find out that it ain’t all that it seemed to be / In their mind cause it don’t bring peace / So tell me why so many with crème rely on pipe dreams? / Because their hopes go no further than the grave / The wages of sin is death and it takes the joy of its slaves away / But Jesus died for sin (yes!) / You can be born again (amen!) / Your dreams don’t have to end (nope) /If they are found in Him (whoo!)


Sweet dreams are truly made of these (oo-oo-oo) / Faith in Christ for all eternity (yeah yeah!)


I put my faith in Christ Jesus alone / Cause with Him dreams come true and through Him I live on with sweet dreams!

Hook

Sweet, sweet dreams do come true because of you Lord Jesus (hey, hey)

Hey! Hey! / But now I’m glad to say that now my life’s complete / Cause life is like a dream (like a dream) all because of YOU (Lord)

Hook 

 

I spit with slang to change the game / West Coast in this Christ, I bang renewed / State of mind and it ain’t gon’ change / you better flip the script homie and claim His name / Who’s gonna block y-block y-block your song!? / Hater’s gonna block but not for long / Who’s gonna try to knock ya knock ya back!? / Hater’s gonna knock and that’s a fact…

 

Minister RMB

 

Beat Lab, D.B.P. (Don’t Be Pimped ministries), it’s that west coast living; (the) industry be in trouble, we connecting the vision!  Record Execs crooked man, it’s the artist they pimping.  As for me, I ain’t a ho, so I’m not even tripping!  I just slide thru the booth, next stop is the block.  Del Paso, El Camino, is the spot where it’s HOT!  Hustle hard on the boulevard, making it POP!  (We) slang the Word to the fiends like we was slanging the Rock.  The real ROCK, JESUS!  He’s the Rock of Ages with His Name on High as we rocking these stages!  Hater’s popping off at the mouth, pulling them gauges (but) we stand firm with no doubt, flipping them pages.  By the hope in the midst of the trials and storms, (we) spit Truth to a culture addicted to porn.  We in the “end times” homie, can’t afford to conform!  Renew your mind relative, live a life transformed…

 

CRUCIAL

 

Your boy’s on the grind from the Lab along with RMBizzle on the West Coast, blastin’ on all the demons and they hatin’ cuz we latching on to the Man upstairs in the Master’s home!  Cats wanna hate and they packing stones to throw; go ahead hater, cast your stone!  We turn the other cheek till our backs are shown!  We keep it ministry in the blackest zones!!  We a light in the dark with a fiery rod to seek out all the cats who admire the fraud.  They walk a fine line but the wire is broad; they bound to hell cuz they’re not desiring God.  So we step in to shift the grip from the semi automatics with the clip to the One who can really uplift the sick and heal them from their pain while they flip the script

 

Minister RMB

 

We got the game locked down, sewed up now tell your Mama.  Jesus coming soon, still praying “maranatha”.  Hater’s about the dollars, they stacking up all their papers.  The muscle car stunter shades mopping in their scrapers.  Christ separates the real and phonies.  Who’s fake buster, and who’s really your homies!?  The wheat and tares, they about to get divided.  Till then, I bring heat on the beat Crucial provided…

 

CRUCIAL

 

See I ride with it, go full force in stride with it.  Won’t abort the mission, in fact, I’m gonna die in it!  Cats gonna talk their smack, call us Christians whack, point their guns and clap us in the back!  But you roll with the pain and you flow with the shame of a man who stands up clothed in the blame.  Though it’s cold in the rain, you’re a soul and you’re saved; you’re a soldier of gold when you go thru the flame…
