Many Are Called But Few Chosen by Gene Slawta
Have you been called, have you been chosen  have you heard the One who set
it all in motion  Do you know, can you understand  the victory bought by the Son
of Man  Risen from the dead, seated in heaven  risen from the dead, don't be
mistaken  Three days in the heart of the earth  three days He tasted death's evil
curse  What did you say  I didn't hear, all these words, so unclear  surely your
mistaken, this can't be true  How can someone die for you  What did you say How
is this so  Someone who died - so long ago  Could ever really impact me  Who 
opens the eyes so that they can see  *** Have you been called, have you been
chosen  do you believe in the One, who heals the broken  Trust in the Lord with
all your heart  Trust in the Lord in full, not just in part  soon He will return for all
to see  nailed scarred hands bled for you and me  soon, it can't be long now, do 
you see the signs   lawlessness, confusion  all the time  wasn't it foretold, oh so
long ago  in the Book of books so that all may know  what can be your excuse
what is your plan  when you are face to face with the Son of Man  ***  Have you 
been called, have you been chosen  do you know the One who has spoken  
Words written in red for all to hear  Words written in red loud and clear  Risen
from the dead, seated in heaven  risen from the dead, learn the lesson  calling
out to you for whosoever will hear  the hound of heaven is now very near
Believe in the One up above who calls to you with grace with love  for many are
called, this is fully known  but who truly is one of His chosen ** [Many are called
but few are chosen] {repeat}

Many Are Called But Few Chosen

Produced by Chu'we Chu, the beat is cinematic, dark, and unapologetically confident. The combination of smooth R&B hooks and intense trap elements creates the perfect vibe for anyone who’s outgrown their doubters and is now flexing the fruits of their labor.

“Too Late” is for anyone who’s been told they wouldn’t make it, only to rise above it all—and now they’re here to stay. It’s not just a song; it’s a statement. The grind doesn’t stop, and neither does the success. It’s too late to hate, the bag is already secured.

To Late ( ft B Smove )

“Cold Ambitions” is the latest trap banger from Chu'we Chu and Shizz, dropping heat just in time for the Counting Stacks EP. With its icy-cold delivery and relentless beat, this track is the perfect anthem for anyone who's ever faced adversity, kept their head down, and worked their way to the top—no matter the cost. It's about staying cold-hearted in the pursuit of success, with no time for distractions, emotions, or the haters along the way.

Produced by Chu'we Chu, “Cold Ambitions” is a track built on heavy 808s, dark melodies, and aggressive trap drums that hit with the precision of a sniper’s aim. From the first note, it’s clear this is not a song for the faint of heart. The production is sharp, cold, and commanding—matching the track's theme of ambition that doesn’t care about feelings, only results.

Shizz brings that drill energy straight out of Chicago, delivering fiery verses about his grind, his loyalty, and his relentless ambition. His flow is gritty and sharp, cutting through the beat with raw emotion, but always focused—he's not here for the games. For Shizz, cold ambitions mean doing what’s necessary, making moves, and leaving the past behind. No matter how cold it gets, it’s about reaching the goal by any means necessary.

Chu'we Chu adds his signature touch to the track, alternating between melodic hooks and razor-sharp bars. His verse balances Shizz’s drill energy with a more refined sound, but the message is the same: the game doesn’t wait for anyone. Success is built with cold intentions, precision, and an unwavering belief that no one can stop you.

The hook of “Cold Ambitions”—*“Ice in my veins, cold ambitions / Ain’t no love here, just the mission”—*perfectly captures the vibe of the song. It’s all about the hustle, the sacrifice, and the single-minded focus that drives you to reach the top, no matter how lonely or harsh the journey gets. In the coldest of winters, success is the only warmth you can rely on.

This track is a true reflection of Chu'we Chu and Shizz’s mindset: cold, calculated, and unstoppable. “Cold Ambitions” is a trap anthem for the ones who refuse to let anything or anyone slow them down.

Cold Ambitions ( J2 )

“Life of the Unseen” is the raw, unfiltered anthem for the underdogs, the silent grinders, and those who live in the shadows but are destined to rise. Featuring Shizz, one of Chu'we Chu's hardest-hitting new artists, this track dives deep into the hustle that’s often invisible to the world, but undeniable in its impact. It’s about the struggle, the isolation, and the relentless pursuit of success when nobody’s watching.

Produced by Chu'we Chu, “Life of the Unseen” brings a hard-hitting trap beat with dark, atmospheric synths and pounding 808s. The production is haunting, yet energetic, mirroring the tension and grind of those who don’t seek the spotlight but are quietly stacking their wins. It’s about making moves behind the scenes, keeping your head down, and staying focused on the goal—whether or not anyone notices.

Shizz brings that raw drill energy, rapping with a hunger that reflects the grind of the overlooked. His flow is gritty and unapologetic, spitting bars about the struggle of working in silence, watching others get attention while you do the real work. It’s a reminder that the real winners don’t need validation, because their results will speak for themselves. Shizz’s verse speaks to the resilience of the unseen: "I keep it moving in the shadows, hustle never seen / But I’m stacking like a king, they gon’ see me on the screen."

Chu'we Chu adds his signature smooth delivery and melodic hooks, balancing the track’s intense energy with reflective moments that hit harder with every listen. His verse represents the mindset of someone who’s been through the grind, seen the struggle, and stayed focused even when the world turned a blind eye. The hook of “Life of the Unseen”—*“Out the shadows, I’m just waiting for my time / Life of the unseen, but the hustle still shine”—*captures the essence of the track: waiting for the right moment to step out from the shadows and shine, even when nobody’s watching.

The theme of the song is clear: It’s not about the applause or the recognition. It’s about the work, the silent grind, and the cold ambition to succeed when no one believes in you, and even when you’re still out of the limelight. This track is a celebration of those who put in the work, no matter how invisible the grind might seem.

“Life of the Unseen” is for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked but knows deep down their time is coming. It’s for the hustlers in the shadows, the silent risers, the ones who understand that real success doesn’t need a spotlight—it creates its own
