The Codex Volume 4
AS HE DIES FOR YOUR SINS

V1)
Another long night, bad dreams and night sweats
Anxieties, praying and wishing I’m not next
All I eva wanted was to love and help, please
the this burden to heavy and hard for me please,
I just wanna run, take the easy route, 
or pick a bout, feasibly easy for me to mount.
I’m walking in the path of what of what destine destined for me 
And I’m asking for the strength, bc I don’t see it in Me. 

V2)
        All Day shyne for my people, a miracle or two bc I’m fly for the people. All accolades to Him, bc I’m just a sheep, and I know it, fast forward to the walking in my dream for a moment. Sweating with cross on my shoulder and as I walk, and the realness in me, got me twisted but I walk, knowing there’s a better life, and a light at the end. This what it sounds like dying for the Sins 
(Take a deep breath and let the realness sit In)

Hook
Another case, he passed away, 
he left his flesh, a life less place
its the jury and the judge to reconcile
we call it fate.  
Awaiting trial, on the verdict,
wondering how long it could take
scales tippin side to side, 
sweaty palms, sweaty face
Been steady living for the moment,
out of hand, out of grace, and consequences
bound from decision that were made
when the breath leaves the body, 
there’s a trial and a fate, 
and a morning for the loved ones
that we lost every day

V3)
I got the gate, I levitate, 
a betta place, in ya heart, sacrifice is what it takes, 
this is living space, a sacred taste, aftermath living trace, 
every time you looked around, I was there tryna lace,
blessings all the way around you, keeping you out harms way, 
tryna get you whole attention, on the meaning to embrace 
this better life that’s meant for us as my bride I hope you understand,
take a deep breath and let this realness sit in,

V4)
All I ever really  wanted was to live and be free, and smile oftenly, 
feeling up and down, but esteemed is how the talk of me.
Sometimes I didn't listen was living life in the dark
Now this bibles in my hand and there’s Faith was in my heart, 
life as a sinner and Lord i am ashamed, 
i don’t deserve your love I am ashamed, 
don’t let Them take me away, 
Eternal Love costs, and your Faith paid the way.

Hook 3)

AS HE DIES FOR YOUR SINS

Walking down this path nervous
But I move alone
Thinking bout my life and my past
And my new road
Redemption that He cast and
Now His love for His people
Love His positivity amongst 
All this evil
I take another step and my heart
Starts to sink through
Burdens weighing heavily
My knees getting weak too
I can’t explain the words or
Enunciate how grateful
To be amongst Your Spirit
And be around my Savior

Yeah, we walking toward the baptism
Once again D’Vo back with love
Yeah, we walking toward the baptism
Can’t nobody can distract me from 
Or attract me more
Than His love and I yearn for more
It’s The Codex and I’m back with love
It’s the baptism
Understand what we walking toward
It’s The Codex with baptism

Hey so, the crazy thing about like uh
You know life and relationships
You know, there’s one relationship that we
Really take for granted, we don’t nurture 
We don’t put in the work enough

Yeah, we walking toward the baptism
It’s ya boy and I’m back again
With the stacks again
You know my vocals will attack again
Carvin’ satanical whacks in here
And I’ma lift His name 
And I’ma shout it at the top of my lungs
Let the world know that I’m thankful for
The Omnipotent One and I’ma go head
And praise ya Son
Let this water just revive my soul
And then the man emerge
And his purpose and his life align
He’s got his mic and it’s now our time
We gotta praise His name
And with this water you won’t be the same
Let it sprinkle from Promised Land

So I just want everyone to just take this moment 
Like real talk, just take this moment and just
Be thankful, alright, be thankful and just
Tell Him I love you and I’m sorry

I’m gone worship You
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
I’m gone worship You
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
I’m gone lift Your name
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
I’m gone love You
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
But I’m gone lift Your name
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
Name, we walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
But I’m gone worship You
We walking toward the baptism
Yeah we walking toward the baptism
I’m gone worship You
We walking toward the baptism

LIFE'S QUALITY

Dark Matters

I keep lil Nina, beside my bed because I need her
She keep me feeling, inside a world that’s turned to evil
My thoughts are evil, I turned to pain to keep it regal
That numb my feeling, that turn to blood that drips again
Ah sharpen up my blade and with care I carry on
And patiently I wait until I’m sitting all alone
Emotions and when physical reignite, my tears my pain
And my mind goes deeper into what they call depression
Our children are holding, a pain like no other
Satanic agendas have taunted my loved ones
Everyone's mistooken, and mentals are shooken 
Outbreaks continue to change what is normal
I’ll keep on going, these pathways get darker
Decisions we make will not fade, but will alter
Our future, keep on going these prayers keep 
Flowing, await for the moment to carry you home

Dark matters, life matters, all matters
I go after, matter fact I thrive beyond matters
My mind scatters, trying to figure out my pastor
My mind faster, the thrill as Nina carves the flesh   
My life’s a mess, it’s part of mental health, I try to be
Good at the heart but my mental keeps escaping me but 
Dark matters, life matters, all matters
Stressing with my sanity because my soul matters
   
Competing with those others just to prove my self-worth 
Lil Nina keeps me busy cause I dread my self-worth
I sit back and observe someone better than me
Then I go back and spit on those weak then I’m free
It’s that power, that swagger, it's all that I need
Then I make those feel stupid, those powerless beings
And my heart then is broken for thinking like these
Little quams was the answer, I fall to my knees with
More tears and there’s Nina to care for my needs
She’s shiny, and sharpened, consistently brings 
Such a level discomfort and comfort at ease
As I reach for my blade, and I roll up my sleeve
My mind stays tormented, this time wasn’t the same
There was a voice as it called out my name 
It was Jesus, I heard it so clear and 
He said that I love you 
Nina had fallen and darkness fled too

Dark matters, life matters, all matters
I go after, matter fact I thrive beyond matters
My mind scatters, trying to figure out my pastor
My mind faster, the thrill as Nina carves the flesh   
My life’s a mess, it’s part of mental health, I try to be
Good at the heart but my mental keeps escaping me but 
Dark matters, life matters, all matters
Stressing with my sanity because my soul matters

But He will heal you, He will heal you
He will heal you, He will heal you 

Dark matters, life matters, all matters
I go after, matter fact I thrive beyond matters
My mind scatters, trying to figure out my pastor
My mind faster, the thrill when Nina carves the flesh   
My life’s a mess, it’s part of mental health, I try to be
Good at the heart but my mental keeps escaping me 
But dark matters, life matters, all matters
Stressing with my sanity I know my soul matters

DARK MATTERS

WAY 2 YOU

Long night this type of lifestyle  
Just ain’t sitting right not this time 
And the worst dividing the family 
That’s in my life but I’m shining  
Steadily climbing and finding  
People ain’t all who they chimed 
In to be, VIP and lonely 
All these fake smiles and these trials 
And these women down in these vows 
Breaking all bounds as I look for you 
Through the crowd how you want me to move
How you want me to move, how you need me to move
How you need me to move on the line for you 
And my home’s with you 
Your home’s a better place 
Your love is outer space 
I’ll cherish on each and every day
And every breath I take I’ll cherish on 

No more doing things I know I probably shouldn’t do
I’m tryna find my way find my way back to you
But I wanna be with you
I’m tryna find my way to you, Lord
No more poppin’ pills I’m poppin’
No more chasing bunnies boppin’
Burying those ghosts as often
Now I wanna stand for something 
But I wanna be with you
I’m trying to find my way to you, Lord

Destined to be great, is never late as it seems
I make moves at an hour that is relating to things
Beyond man, and even man putting timing on me
Beyond hands that can grasp or comprehend what it means
We at a place that time has change seasons indeed
We at a space that the truth is come set us all free
I gotta lace Tellingbeatzz with the word so it frees 
To get a taste of what’s heavenly incasing our needs
I wanna right all my wrongs  
I wanna lead and follow life  
I think about those times 
Those cries and all those struggles inside 
I’m trying to make it make a difference 
Skies the limit in God we trust 
Every living land will feel my dust 
Every single soul will have a choice 
To live that life be bout that lifestyle 
Paradise was just a bluff
Picture angels up in heaven  
Pac and Nipsey posted up  
When you close yours eyes 
Them people that you care about the most
It’s like toasting on a beach and feeling 
The breath of God’s Love 

No more doing things I know I probably shouldn’t do
I’m tryna find my way find my way back to you
But I wanna be with you
I’m tryna find my way to you, Lord
No more poppin’ pills I’m poppin’
No more chasing bunnies boppin’
Burying those ghosts as often
Now I wanna stand for something 
But I wanna be with you
I’m trying to find my way to you, Lord

I’m tryna find my way to you 
So yea I been struggling right  
I been struggling trying to find my way to you 
Trying to get back to you  
Trying to get back to the person that I am ya feel me 
So ultimately it's my responsibility to be that dude ya feel me 
So, as the man of the house I gotta lead my family right
And if we not on the same accord, it’s up to me
To get back to you. So that’s where I’m at right now
I got my focus on and I’m just tryna get back to you yea yea

I’m tryna find my way to you
I am trying, I’m tryna find my way to you
I’m tryna find my way to you
I am trying, I’m tryna find my way to you

I’m tryna find my way to you

depression starts to sink in
my focus starts to focus, while
the goal gets further thinking
my life ain’t in order, 
bc i just miss you
my life span is shorter
and I’m empty without you
had taken u for granted,
and I’m sorry and I do
devoting my life to you
and let love lead me thru
