Lyrics:
I been vibin'
Really unfaithful to you
God
And I still believe in your truth
But lately it's been hard to choose
God
You take me up
Down
You're with me when I'm walking through
You said that you felt this way too
You're all that I'm holding on to
God

You open my eyes to a brand new day
And I open my phone to a brand new wave
I take up some time to catch up on these timelines
Getting my mind in a happy space
Happy... space... ellipsis
Run like ellipticals
I put more stock in the world than the spiritual
I put my eyes on these girls like they gravity
Playing in mud as I circle my sanity
After the shame I'm repeating this happily
Back to the happiness
I think the trap in this
Strength I been sapping I'm simping for sin
When I'm turning to God I count that as a win, I been
Moving like Samson but feeling like All Might
My Heroes brothers that pray for me all night
Lust and complacency battles we all fight
Won on the cross so our victory's on site

I been vibin'
Really unfaithful to you
God
And I still believe in your truth
But lately it's been hard to choose
God
You take me up
Down
You're with me when I'm walking through
You said that you felt this way too
You're all that I'm holding on to
God

Eli G:
Who am I is the question I stay facing
When I say I love you is it just a statement or saying
While still complicating my sin and I let my flesh go Super Saiyan
My mind it stay rushing and racing
Chained and complacent
Never finding the answers to pick up my motivation
Tired of sacrificing my sanity, all for vanity and ending up in all the same places
God I just hate this, cuz I know my spirit is awakened
But I can't see the proof of it lately, I feel isolated
My heart is still damaged from wolves taking chunks out my soul just for payment
Can I be real?
I don't really know how faith feel
Can't pray but I know your words saves still
Can you show me that your love is not a shaky deal?
Can you fill me up with love for you that's faith filled?
I can't do this anymore that's why I'm here
I've been living like you up and disappeared
That's my biggest fear
Acting like a leader, a believer, being neither just smoke in the mirror
Jesus I'm here
Take me for all that I am, I'm so tired of my own plans
I know that my best thought is the same thing as dung in your sight
So please God guide me by your hand
Guide me by your hand 'cause

I been vibin'
Really unfaithful to you
God
And I still believe in your truth
But lately it's been hard to choose
God
You take me up
Down
You're with me when I'm walking through
You said that you felt this way too
You're all that I'm holding on to
God

Every time I mess up
I think back to Romans 8:1
It says therefore there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus
And it's crazy 'cause
Though I may turn away
He never leaves
He never leaves me

What shall we say unto all these things?
We juggle the pain and the hurt it brings
Thank God for His grace over everything

What shall we say unto all these things?
We juggle the hurt and the suffering
Thank God for this faith over everything

Night Ride (Feat. Eli G)

Matthew 16:24-28 
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

28 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

Coffey (Prod. 3Point)

This song is about how we face the circumstances we live in and how God is working through them to lead us to the joy and fulfillment he has for us. It's not always pretty. And I can honestly say that sometimes His ways are difficult to understand. But He is the truth no matter how dark your situation looks, his love for you can overcome it. 
Paul said it best: "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." -Philipians 4:12-13

Mirror Mirror (ft. Na-Chi)

Lyrics:
my buddy Sang asked me why all the beats I like sound like airport music..I said it's cause I'm fly...he walked right into that...like what's that even mean? we walk right into traps...they look like welcome mats... We in the belly of the beast but everybody dabs...cut time moving forward digging up the past...This feels like Stephen watching all his peers with stones in hand..... I really wish I could see my abs, holding onto to lucid dreams it's never really worth it, it's hard to see but when I'm weak I know that God is working, losing sight of that is easy in the mist of hurting, Holy Spirit ghost writes my best verses...It's ok though cause drake does it... I'm kinda awkward, right now I'm people watching, I got some time to pass, plus they all just look at glass screens like inside's what they need, I hear screams more like cries for help, Sang asked me how I know? I feel it like a sixth sense so I just said I hear it bro benny asked me how I know? Im thinking I'm just tryna help but really who you helping bro, no really who you helping bro answer me Kemdi...I'll wait...
I'm starting to think that less words the best words...reaching for the truth with T-Rex arms...one man's pain is another's joy... how I'm a man but feel like a boy...I should write these words on my profile like...hashtag first world problems...saw a picture of a vulture waiting for a starving kid to die I wonder if I even try, I know what I'm supposed to be, I know who's been here holding me I thank Him for my family, I thank Him for His hope in me, I just wish we all could see.......
midnight with Julius and some brothers in Christ, we prayed for his family and then we talked about life, we're built for sharing the gospel we discussing how, he said if we living with Christ soon.. why not be uncomfortable now?,  true now I'm lifted up, point of the church I'm falling down my brother picked me up, point of this verse a PSA to all us troubled youth, love the person next to you.

Monty's Words Pt. 2 (Prod. DJ Uchenna)

This is a love song.
Preston Perry and Jackie Hill-Perry performance of "The Fall": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwAw3FFuMAU

Lyrics:
Verse I: I am one of the most selfish people that I know,... prideful, ignorant, the world is full of hypocrites I'm probably good, I'm a tall glass of water so I'll always be fluid, I been rocking Nike I never just do it, pour me..... Caterpillars metamorphosed got me sweating, shoot this beat has me venting... I keep most of me pent in, my faith in patience was pending, I should pen it but I'm always depending, I wanna be like my father, and if you'd walk with a young man farther I know he'll show us what I mean, Let's commit to covenant have em call us obscene, I'll give you all I've been given that's on the cross not on me...if you know what I mean
Chorus(Juno): You know they say we're missing out wasting time in our primes anchor down before we sailed the sea,  but I remember someone better brought together what we have and you my rib so you a part of me, Let's touch souls baby, Lets love more than what they all wanna see, more than good for me...you're my purity
Verse II: I don't know who I'm writing this too, but I pray she lives to love like Jesus, leaves green against each turbulent season, roots planted by the water ready to die ..and say I see the apple in your neck boy swallow your pride, no lies....lifestyles in the garden of Eden, no competing,... we're imperfect let's not try, it's already done, Martin Gina, Kim and Ron, it's all possible, let my heart be the beat that you noddin to, I can see my God in you feel it like brail, and if we green to the physical we still Piccolo-Nail, if you get what I'm saying then you smell what I'm cooking, we'll share the rock that we standing on like we're not even looking, and this is no wishful thinking know you're no longer my muse, you a fruit I aspire to perspire for while I'm serving the truth, so I'll be on my Psalm 1 by the quietest streams, I'm thirsty for living water.. If you know what I mean.

Lyrics:
solar system hoolihoop, school boy woopty woop, earth to sun we in a loop, it's interlude the..inner you, tell me why I'm into you, profile pics is little proof, cuff me fo a brother poof, got bars i been the poop,

long stares at aurora borealis trace the lights like I'm running routes while playing madden, I passed a group of fish and thought of casting, But then I thought of lasting something ever afterlife, even after life I'll look around like is this really happening, I'll know what I mean like life inside the Animus, a glance could pull my heart strings out... dopamine agonist, could of cast the net I chose to pacifist I hit the wall like tons of bricks I pass a fist and y'all don't want whats after this, there's thirst by my windowpanes, floods as the water breaks, sealed em with a blindfold just to see if you're still on to me, but you ain't seeing me polar opps we threonine, fb creep I'm turning green, I'm Krillin I'm feeling it wait and see,

Set it off you Jada P and Patton post fusion dance, I hate the way I think of you your more than just a compliment, I'm more than just a common man no plebeian no innocent, no one but me no synonym a sinner clothed in righteousness, I follow Jesus Christ, that means I'm saved by the blood I been read my rights, that means I'm called to show you love that doesn't force a glass ceiling void of sacrifice and my imagination shouldn't pimp you in the dead of night, cold cold world for a deep sea pearl in a reef full of sharks while the sky above storms, as I shake pre-dive below the deck lies the Word like yo ol' boy of little faith why you worried?

Lyrics: 
Is it really enough? lifestyles of if only we trust...take sides like pitch it and tuck, I think we all on the run, airwaves hear flat line chatter, I hold hands with silhouettes because black lives matter, pen so deep I should write with it, I'm a simple man I like my status with likes in it, I'm a simple man so when you push me its complex, I'm always in my cave so when y'all curve me it's convex, context, always been honest captain hook that wish he hooked on phonics or followed Peter who was Rock like Onyx drop bars like Sozin's comet, on false prophets and wack rappers, still break bread from red lobster, most logic don't make sense it's Non-Sequitur, I'm washed clean now sin no more they're not separate, pray that I trust what the Lord say everyday... same sun that melts wax hardens clay...

Monty's Words pt. 1

The Devil is a liar.

Lyrics
D'Andre:
I'm cracked skin, empty bottles, 
my last sins, common knowledge, 
I'm acting...passing, time's just passing...
I'm trying, hit the throttle, 
I'm dying, can't acknowledge, 
attracting...it's passing, my time's just passing,    
don't ignore...living water pour...
know you thirsty boy...come and thirst no more...

me:
The Devil is a liar.
Posted up in my prefrontal like it's just a hobby, 
Margot Robbie to a weak man, 
Blue eyes white dragon reigning fireballs down on a free man, 
but only if the brother fears man, dry seasons turn super lit, 
good intentions enter with a twist, shame a splinter in my happiness, 
Now Satan got me getting used to this, he hand me dry bones on the ride home,  
he's up in the pm as demons slide in my DM's
Lord knows they ain't ever safe Holy Spirit be creeping,
Plus I'm out here believing, 
like I'm balling for Cleveland and 'Bron is calling me out,
obedience turns to reflex, 
matrix dodging these bullets aimed to divide the people,
see the world through the living word like enlightened Neo, 
No shackles can hold you down when you serve the One, 
and know that greater things to come, 
There's Jesus in you giving love, we know what's up,
The Devil is a liar.

D'Andre:
The Devil is a liar. 
Smooth skin, water bottles, Been through it, Now there ain't know stoppin'...
reign down, reign down, keep reigning down on me

Thirst Trap ft. D'Andre London (Prod. Ghxst)

Prod. Blu Majic Beat Co. & D'Artizt
2 Corinthians 12:9 - But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me. 

Lyrics:
D'Andre verse:
Waking up on a Monday morning, I'm heading back to bed
check my phone like it's bae, I never miss a day, I never I never, 
my momma asked me how are you doin'?
I said I'm doing fine... 
I lie when I'm hiding, I lie awake, sometimes....  
I feel like Peter Parker every day's a little hope, 
but the darker side of me is sticking on me like a symbiote. 
Look at this web I've made that keeps me sane but far away

Chorus: 
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
was blind but now I see

Me:
Something always gotta happen before I pray. 
Why i can't feel like when I was first saved?
Why we always think on what was or could've been? 
Why can't I see loving God's more effective than dodging sin?
Why we in our own world's? 
You know they got they own gravity,
she got her own gravity, they pulling me in, 
I marvel at the struggle but grace gave me a power over struggle, never said I wouldn't stumble, 
but that'll never put me under...why?

D'Andre:
In this life if it was just me,
I don't know what I would do...
That's why I'm thankful I get to walk with you

Chorus.

GRACE. (ft. D'Andre London)
