Lyrics:

Oh, God why’d you make me?
I ask stupid questions all the time

Oh, why’d my woman leave me?
I lose things I love all the time

I said, where, where I’m goin’
Is somewhere she won’t find

I feel kinda happy
That woman left right on time

So thank you for my pain and my struggle
Everything you took out of my hand

So when my woman leaves me, 
I’ll know it’s proof that you can

Provide anything for me
And replace my left hand

Why’d You Make Me?

Lyrics:

I hope my father finds the hole in his heart
Because the pain in a man is where brokenness starts

The pain in a man is where brokenness starts

So I try to be different, 

Yeah I try to make a way with all this heavenly wisdom 

Yeah I preach from a rooftop
Don’t care if nobody hear me

Oh most days, I know God is near me

And these days, I’m not afraid 
Of anything except myself

God break me down, make me into a man 
All the chaos in the world offensive to Him


Lose my faith I gotta get it back
When I get to Heaven I might wanna turn back
I love the pain, because I hate change 

Superficial operations causing altercations
Partisan political create one divided nation
Pain inside of my heart became a devastation
All my unfair ways are killing COVID patients

Broke boys dance over in Africa 
Sometimes the poorest become the world’s happiest
Prosperity a curse that’s wrapped in nice packaging 
Get back to God and not the savaging

Melancholy Mental

Music & lyrics by me


Lyrics:

Man I’m sorry that I let you down,
Spent most of waking hours just chasing the crown
Ups and downs I’m thinking aloud right now
I’m just trying to get my feet up off the ground right now

Flying like an eagle trying to avoid the evil
Inside of me it boils up and manifests
I can’t keep my eyes of the things of the flesh
I gotta reset cuz I’m next on deck

Lazy people out there always dropping the ball
Unfortunately that’s just a consequence of the fall
Adam is my middle name and my only claim to fame sometimes

Born sinner but I got baptized, holy water on my face
Like it’s time to go now,
Realized, actualized, now all of us magnetized 
Toward the divine guide with merciful eyes 

Synthesize a new rhythm for those that stick with Him 
Empathize always, Love is power, holy showers
Might make you clean so we can travel to a whole new place

You’ve never seen or imagined

Faith is a composite of beliefs and actions
Making a deposit in my bank account 
Store up treasure where it can’t be confiscated 
At the heavenly gates 
where my sins and virtues are added up, calculated

Yes I’m entering my prime not Amazon
If y’all could only know what kinda journey I’m on
See the weakness, all the darkness, inside my heart
The crucified one! reach down from heaven, Help me restart!
Gotta do my part, 

Because everybody terrified
To see the world turning upside down
And inside out 
back to the factory settings

Unless I always rely on the most high 
I will not divide myself from the designs 
Of the accuser himself  
Gotta take the high road, escalate, elevate

Yeah I gotta be a BETTER MAN 
I gotta get a better plan
So I focus, Ecce homo

Behold the man, behold the lamb
That’s how I know who I am.

Better Man

Lyrics:

It seems on the worst of my days I find You
Waiting in the whisper, waiting in the sunlight

It seems on the worst of my days, 
You never leave me alone
Even when I felt like that’s so

When I’m in my moods, I need You to speak
Cuz all of my troubles seem to consume me
And all of these days on this earth that You made
I always find myself so down and afraid 

Wondering if I’m just a mistake that You made

It seems like the best of my days I find You
Waiting in the shadows, waiting in the corner

Yeah

I find You in the restless 
That’s always nagging me 

You always seem to find me,
And never let me go 

You always seem to find me, 
surprise me, 
By 
never,
ever, 
letting me go

I find You (acoustic)

Does anybody care about about the rap flows
Or could I just spit triplet like a garden water hose 
I’m kinda sick of human nature
They always throwing ragers 
And hittin up my pager
And wearing navy blazers 
And ignoring the savior
Why do we elect fools?
Cuz every single time we hear the same news
And everybody lose 
And everybody bruised

I’m always tryna know what’s going on around here
But I got the same fear
Do it mean anything, is it really clear?
Should we drink the water instead of drinking beers
Should we get the money as an antidote for tears
Do I know more as I age through the years

I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know

Gotta know

Gotta Know!

Lyrics:

—

Its hard for me to trust Your plan
Let You take me as I am 
It’s just that I don’t understand, 
and I don’t know how 

‘cuz I am fearful to let go
Of all the things that I don’t know
Help me to give up control
‘cuz I don’t know how 

You’re the way, the truth, the life 
You’re the one who satisfies 
And it’s all by Your design
You alone can rule my life
Can rule my life

So teach me how to lean on You
And let You heal on my wounds
Please Lord come create anew
‘cuz I don’t know how

Well he gives us what we need
Even when we cannot see
He takes care of everything
And I don’t know how 

You’re the way, the truth, the life
You’re the one who satisfies 
And it’s all by Your design 
You alone can rule my life
Can rule my life 

You turned water into wine
Bread and fish You multiplied
And You healed the blind man’s eyes
And I don’t know how 

Let me believe the things You said 
And why You bled for me instead
Now You come to me as bread 
And I don’t know how

I don’t know how 

I don’t know how
