If you on the main street 
then you make a right
then you make a left
then you make a right 
then you make a right
There’s a little place hidden out of sight
They got beds in there 
you can go and stay the night
Walk inside. There’s a bar
And Everybody drinking
Everybody fighting
Everybody thinking
That there’s someone in the shadows 
Somebody slinking
Somebody creeping
Don’t come for the weekend
If you aint ready
Bring ya fetti
Now it’s confetti    
Throw it at the girls tryna shake they jelly 
And in the corner there’s a man   
he wears no labels. He’s loner
You understand? Here’s the plan.     
Go down and sit down
Keep ya mouth shut
Buy the man a drink and listen
And when you listen pay attention.
He ask you any questions tell him Dojo sent ya
And he sent you wit a mission
The stranger. The samurai.
If you ever cross my man be prepared to die
And you gotta analyze
Anything he says he will never say a second time
Or without a who what when why or idea
Certain things you probably shouldn’t try here
Cuz, if you on that bullshit you could die here 
Now here’s the side reel:
A long time ago way before I met him
He had a little daughter and a wife name Coretta
Coretta was an eye catcher 
He owed a lot money, they were indebted to the debtors
And they coming for collection and they want they fuckin money
So he did what he had to do started actin funny
Now this is where the story get’s blurry
Next you thing you know he’s on his way to the castle 
And you know it’s archers up there and they’ll attack you 
Got them flaming arrows
Dressed up in a straw hat
Looked like a scarecrow
Preparation thorough
Climbed up with a grappling
Start attacking
Started blasting 
Started slashing
With his katana
And wit no problems
He hit the fucking soldiers
Then hit they fucking mamas.
Everybody in the fucking building had to die that night.
And you know he had to fly back right?
He hopped on the hang glider
And jumped off the top of the tower
Corretta put his daughter in bed
He home in an hour 
Got home and said baby girl
I did it, I did it, I did it 
We can get up out this building
And We aint got debt no more 
We got credit
And any little that you want you can get it
And baby girl Coretta don’t you worry bout our daughter
We’ll put her in a private school and she can go to Harvard
We about to eat, I know you tired of the starving
With all this fucking money you got problems I can solve em
Then theres... a knock at the door
The samurai gets a look in his eye
He’s heard it before
His fingers to his lips, he says go get my sword
Then they kicked the door down, ready for war
Coretta died that night
The government guys took flight
And took his daughter
And Then they shot him
10 times bullets went straight through his armor
Then they cut his braid off gave his family dishonor.
And now you in the story
The man in the straw hat is sitting right before you
And since that night he’s sworn to be warrior
Need a problem solved and got money to afford him
They’ll be dead before the morning
And he found me in mississippi
I was with my mother
Cancer got her bleeding from her kidneys
A new orphan
A new slave
Then my story get’s told a new page...

Black Samuruai (prod. T. Droney)

You were my lover in another life
If this was Bible times, I'd love you
You would be my wife
But then again I'd have another wife
to do what you can't do for me
I know I'm late with this
I call it truthful truancy
I shoulda told ya
Way before you fell in love with Soldier
Way before you found out all the
boulders that I'm holdin
Now I praise Jehovah that I tell you now
Before I laid you down
And showed you that I'm well endowed
Before I ate you out 
like mama's broccoli casserole
And knew the licks to find
the center of ya Tootsie Roll
Tootsie Pop. pussy poppin on me
til yo coochie swole
Then you learned all the secrets
that you didn't know
Ok. I know my monologue is kinda raw
And I know it's gonna hurt
But you got that Tylenol
800 milligrams of other niggas
you be fuckin
Or maybe you'll just drown me out with alcohol
Or get fat off of muffins
Everything I said to you 
was all completely honest
Every time I said that
you the type of girl I wanted
Every time I saw you made me
sick enough to vomit
Sick enough because I love
the sight of burning comets
Crash. Crash crashing down.
Crashes of creation
Making craters in my town.
Every time I prayed that you would
make yo daddy proud
Because you'd know I'd love
if I never said a sound
By being chosen by a young nigga
Who accumulated funds
But had fun wit ya
Who can hold a swisher sweet
While he tongue kiss ya
Who made you forget the world
Every time you hung with him.
But I don't see how 
none of that can happen
Also I don't see
all the vision that I'm lacking
I only see the beauty in the world
I only see the beauty you girl
I only see that you not really ready for
all the things you say you want
Let me keep it funky wit you
Not forsake the funk
Let me say that happiness is something that I want
Let me say I want a naked woman cooking lunch
Let me say I want pretty face that I can trust
Let me say I want a love that's equal to my lust
And that's you.
That's you through and through.
You'd appreciate the climb before you saw the view
You'd be cool enough to come and party with my crew
But show me that you're ready 
Something that you couldn't do.
So go hard or go home darling
You gotta answer when your future's callin.
You gotta answer when your future's callin.
I can forgive the shit that you did
But what I can't forgive is you not giving in...

Maria

I just hit my ex up and admitted that I played a part
In putting scars and breaking parts off of her naked heart
I hope your life is beautiful and that you'll be successful
And now I'm thankful for the clarity to see my lessons
Nothing less than a blessing to see in 20/20
Nothing sweeter than seeing the One who lives in many
Man, you pay for wisdom with the price of going through
And to get to where I've gotten man I had to drop a pretty penny
It don't offend me when you throw your stones
You wasn't called to see the holy shit I'm on. Holy shit, I'm gone
take these fucking rocks and building a gorgeous home
A lovely fortress in the land of skull bones
I have fucking grown
Forever joyful my nigga, forever joyful
Pressure made the diamond that was hidden in the oyster
Seek another treasure don't distract me with the fortune
Who can be against me once a king has been anointed?
Man there's levels to forgiveness and redemption
Just like there's levels to the trickin and the pimpin
Just like there's levels to the fight and to the mission
But you nigga's yellow. Scared to go to war I think you Homer Simpson
Or Peter Grffin. I prolly blow ya shit up like I'm Stewie
Kill myself and all the people round me that had knew me
Just to be a phoenix. From the ashes He regrew me
Now the folks astonished, they admonish how I do me
And it feels good.
It feels good to be still  hood
It feels good to still be a young Mississippi nigga
But it's better to be an image inside the bigger picture
Read the scripture.

Country Boy (Freestyle)- Josh Arthur

Psalm 151 (prod. by @allanklaudio) is my first urban inspiration song and the launch track for the GoFundMe campaign. Support this type of positive movement here ( https://gofund.me/theroadtodamscus). 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Josh Arthur and I'm a youth minister and recording artist operating in the Atlanta-Metro Area.
Previously, I spent 3 years making destructive music. Now I'm doing something positive in service to God through Jesus Christ.

Please help me raise $10,000 to complete and roll out an urban inspiration album. Money will go towards studio time, mixing and mastering, visuals, and marketing to make and improve songs like this: Psalm 151 - Josh Arhtur 

In order for me to complete the project by the April 2016 goal, I'd like to have all the money raised by December 31st, 2015. Meeting my goal means that I'll have an opportunity to use the gifts God has given me for something positive and show kids that living for Him doesn't have to be boring or passive.

Thank you to each and every one of you that shares your blessing. For the longest, I made music glorifying and benefitting myself. I can't even express how good it feels to finally be doing somethign meaningful for others.

(Want to give but can't? Do your part by sharing this song and link with your network, friends, and family.)
