This is a project that is near and dear to me heart. 
I have been working on an album for going on seven years now. 
It has been a VERY slow process, because I had to learn many things along the way, technically and spiritually.
God has been working on me.
So much work goes into making music. 
God has given me so much to share and I am excited to get to start.
I am ready to share some with you!! 
I am not sharing because I think it’s perfect…I’m sharing because I have so much to say.
I already know that this song will not be everyones cup of tea stylistically. 
We are all made so differently, however, I share this with you as a part of my testimony. 

My life has been hard. 
I was abused by many different people growing up. 
I was a stripper for about ten years. 
I was an alcoholic, drug user, lost woman, enemy of God. 
BUT GOD saved me, while I was still in the clubs...
while I was still on drugs...
while I was lost, and struggling to find what love really is.
No one is beyond His salvation!!!!
NO ONE!!

He changed me from the inside, out, and I will be eternally grateful to Jesus.
Jesus is the love of my life, now, and forever.
He is waiting for His children to return.
So return!!!

With that said ...here is the first release, of the first song, on my album Love and Lightning.
I will be making videos for all of my songs as well, and I will release them one at a time, God willing.

This song is called A Different Me

God bless you all in Jesus name.

Different Me

This is an upbeat Christian Hip-Hop track with a 1970s Funk feel.

Verse 1:

1970, here I am
Look out world, cause I'm the man
Broke every stereotype, clear your mind
I was born to rap, I've got the gift of rhyme
Now this beat is so fresh
no doubt, I've its got your head bobbin'  
Funk for the win
I'm just hot doggin'

Crushing other rappers
got my mack strut on
Am I fresh? Yeah
Like a newly cut lawn
I've got the mic in my hand
where's my disco call?
I Hear WOO WOO
Now I am out of control
I had no enemies
I was friends with all
Wrote raps every day
You know, duty calls

You want a hype party?
I'll get the place jumpin'
with Not So Ordinary rhymes
I should have seen it coming

Heard a voice, "surrender"
yeah right
I'm John Paul Jones
I have not yet begun to fight 

Verse 2:

1980s!
I'm the chilliest
You doubt me?
Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?
Medi-alert! You've fallen 
and can't get up
But I'm Hans and Frans
I'm here to pump you up
And I'm so fly
And a brilliant liar
Like Gus Gorman
Yeah, I have priors 

To get hyped
I use the pumps on my reeboks
My rhymes are so fresh
I got sued by zip lock
But I can see their point
Know what I mean
My yellow and blue rhymes 
They make green

I'm now recording albums
Trying to climb the charts
But had no record deal
So I stick to the parks
My rhymes are so fresh
They're verbal pantomime
They should be front and center
In the Guggenheim
I've got the mic in my hand
Where's the alcohol 
I hear a... (opening can)
Now I am out of control


Verse 3:

1990s!
I'm bigger than life
Am I ever wrong? Nah
I'm always right!
I walk with a bop
And talk with street slang
Always ready to rap 
and do my thang
My focus  always me
and having a good time
I have to be on stage
Then everything's fine
Called everyone friend
But really used them all 
Thought I walked on water
Pride comes before the fall
And that fall was far
I bet the ranch
Fell from the idiot tree
And hit every branch

I lay in the mud
But there was Jesus
Cleansed me with his blood
And left me speechless
Wanted to rock the mic
But I found the Rock
So I checked my mic
I'm the new kid on the Block
And I know the time's right
Because my rhymes tight
I surrendered all
I gave up the fight

Surrender

Lyrics by David James

Verse 1:

Was the No. 1 draft pick
Got the cover of Madden
Win the big one? 
Nope, its never going to happen

Pizza Hut, Dominos
or even McDonald's
There is always a special 
and room in the drive-thru

Grew quite large
Now running is a problem
Wear baggy clothes, just
call me a big and tall, man

Been faking it forever
since Moses had a beeper
I don't dig deeper
I order pizza from Little Caesars

Chorus:
I'm walking (repeat)

Verse 2

Was once in shape
I was a smooth MC
went from muscles at 140 
yeah, to "one at a time, please"

Went from skinny to well-fed
A donkey from well-bred
From braggadocious bob buying bagels
to brain dead 

Time is a luxury I can't afford
growing larger every year
Super-size it 
strikes a chord

I  dropped the fork
its time to stop digging deeper
Doing daily 5ks, yeah
I'm finally digging deeper





Chorus 
Bridge



Verse 3:

I like to walk early
before there is light
Tried to bring the high knees
But Roger Craig got the copyright

I watch what I eat
I like chicken and rice
I skip the cheeseburgers yeah
the milkshakes and the fries

I am losing weight now 
yeah, I'm feeling alright
walking every single day
whether snowing or nice

So no more supersizing
and No more "pizza pizza"
I do 5ks on the daily
Waistline, see you later

Walking

Christian Pop - 1990s style - inspired by the short, upbeat Beatles songs.

Whom I'm With

Super rough instrumental-- man, I love the 70s and 80s--- this was inspired by disco from the late 70s

Disco FTW

VERSE 1:

Jesus, I love to call him Jesus
I read his word, I'm speechless
He's perfect, no weakness
I'm broken, all in pieces
He fixed me with gentle breezes
I'm  peaceful like moonlight beaches
His love is full of sweetness
Just like Georgia peaches



VERSE 2:

Jesus, I love to call him Jesus
I'm  not strong, I have weakness
I valued what was cheapest
I did whatever pleases
I was sick, I had sin diseases
In a dark place, the deepest
locked out, I was keyless
And that is why I called Jesus


VERSE 3:

Jesus, I love to call him Jesus 
He saved me, I am the freest
With him, completeness
like a pizza with seven cheeses 
He gives rest,  I'm never sleepless
I pray to him, I am ceaseless
I can climb any mountain, yes the steepest
Jesus, I love Jesus

Jesus

I wrote this song a while back, and now it's the right time for it to surface! 

We need more Jesus! 
We need Him to shine His light into this dark world. 
Come to Jesus and live!!!

Thank you to Yanin Diaz @ydiaz for this amazing image!
