#ElixirLife by J. Han, NAK, & Sam Ock

[J. Han]
I guess it’s befitting to give you some trap cause I’m in atlanta 
yea, we’re the type to jump and Z your Petey Piranhas 
a little bit crazy or maybe bananas 
I ain’t got time to play games, 
hit ‘em with the blue shell
it’s an utter bonanza
yea I got your coins
you tryna to stop me, boy?
I’m on star power! 
this my victory lap
I see that checkered flag
that “dub” is ours! 
edge game proper 
with a wave dash that will make you stammer! 
I tell you we’re smashing opponents
we’ll bring out the hammer!  
man we’re going savage like carvanha, carvanha
we got our hands on a banger. we don’t got time for your clamor now!
leave your Goldeen home, we want none of that
I got my sights on that Gyarados, I don’t want none of your Rattata (rat-a-tat) 
I can smell the 1337 from a mile away 
only the truly devoted neglecting the shower for days
we got that formidable prowess built on the brawn of our thumbs 
we don't have to jump in yours because we got our own path to run. 

[Sam Ock]
a new adventure
i need xp
see me level up
to my destiny
this for my dungeon crawlers
& my hundo' completes
i got that 1-up life
'cause this my RPG!

i talk to every single NPC
'cause the Asian in my wants it FREE
call me Peach, 'cause I throw dem beats
dem turnips give me +3 dexterity

AoE, AoE, AoE, AoE, I got that AoE
i brandish the blade, i'm giving out damage
you cannot handle me!
i don't need luck, every time that i hit, it's a crit
call me dovahkiin, 'cause that's fire i spit!

RPG or MOBA, we takin' it all over
any lane I'll carry, call me the bulldozer
dis music be my potion, elixir life
you know it ain't a game
when i rock this mic!

[NAK]
Bottom's up! 

...I 'down' Mako then I pound mics...
... I'm Cloud Strife... in a sound byte -
.. I'm out to show the Lamb of God to Azeroth
He died to "cast 'Life'"... that's the mana cost -

- (Bars) harder than this diamond that I'm sharpening
- I farm and cut the bedrock like it's "mud or fudge and" margarine 
You spittin' "Fire," but my dialect is freaking hotter
So drop the beat and watch me start to speak it in Firaga!

(Critical!)  Imperial lyricist 'quipped with the sickest ma-te-ria...
(Yuh!)  This Magitek missile don't miss em', "mechanics" superior! --
-- Top to the bottom to middle to jungle- Akali to Varus to Fiddle and Trundle
To Jarvan to Darius, Ahri and Rumble, (you 'bout to get buried) and this is my shovel!

 -- "Take you away" and "split you" "in addition," mayne
... Blow your frame like "Sister Ray-" you kids are historyyy...
... .... I'm system made, homie!  NES to that "Playstay..."
And if you can't hang, you best go back to playin' "Snake!"

Forever is the first song off of the planned future release, "Pastel" by Sam Ock. It is a mellow, jazzy farewell letter from the one who remains moving in the present, to the moment or person past. It is inspired as Ock’s farewell letter to his hip-hop collective AMP, and a deep introspection of his identity apart from the era that is now saved for his memories. This song is for anyone who has gone through the existential crisis inherent to deep loss.

Pastel is a collection of songs in late 2018 by hip-hop/jazz songwriter Sam Ock. The project is a canvas that displays the soft, subtle and light hues which veil a sensitive, pain-ridden soul searching for solace. The gentle, jazz-laced chords and crooning vocals display an idyllic scene while Ock’s honest and direct lyrics lace the work with a sense of deep longing. Pastel is catharsis for the hurting and searching listener.

-----Forever by Sam Ock---------

[Verse 1]
I got a bad case of my doubt
Six pack o' lies, bottoms up, fadin out
Letting these voices inebriate
Got no faith, man I wanna escape
escapade, vacation, call it siesta
Don't wanna try for the next semester
Flunked outta life, yea, that's how I feel
it don't really matter, man i gotta keep it real.
but on the real, can't believe you're gone
can't believe it's over, it’s been so long
over these years saw the passion die
no time for eulogy, we had to get by
growin' up always feels too hard
getting old really hurts my heart
'cause of all moments i miss
but i trust that i'm getting better 'cause of this.

[Chorus]
This will be the end of you and me
I will keep this memory
And I'll cherish you forever
This is a beginning, a new day
And I'll find another way
But you'll be with me forever

[Verse 2]
every thing i said
playin back in my head
every sweet moment
every place we went
is a part, is a mark in me
every burn is a brand i see
gotta tattoo in my soul
memories inked, permanent black gold
i don't wanna press rewind
even if i wanted to, i aint got time
healin' be facing the pain head on
letting my tears fall all night long
had our time but it's bye for now
yea we did good but the clock's run out
we did good but the clock's run out
this is my last goodbye.

[Bridge]
All beginnings have an end
Every journey has a bend
Yes your soul can have a friend
Who will love forever
All this time is wasted not
You will never be forgot
You will go into forever

Forever

A song about not giving up because Christ gives you victory.

Sam Ock - Persevere

God I really wanna be somethin'
Much bigger than and better than me
I really do believe in the brighter days ahead
Where the paradigm be broken and the people will be free (yea)
But we're livin' that ev'ryday grind
Caught in the cycle that old state of mind
All them bad vibez really do get to me
free your mind, man I tell myself frequently

I don't wanna shallow vibe (nah)
I don't wanna tell you to be livin' in a lie
I'mma tell you that we all going through it now
So we gotta stick together make each other proud
three strands really hard to cut
we in good company, pick each other up (yea)
We ain't alone, family, sister/brotherhood
So put your head up to the sky & say

**Feelin good, feelin' great
it's our time to celebrate
feelin' good, feelin' great
'cause we're gonna be okay
I’m alive, I’mma choose
To give it all today
I’mma groove, I’mma sing
And I’mma let the music play cause’ I’m

Feelin’ good, feelin’ great
Feelin’ thankful for today
Feelin’ good, feelin’ great
Raise your glasses high and say
I’m alive, I’mma give
I’mma give it all today
I’mma groove, I’mma sing,
I’mma let the music the play ‘cause I’m feelin’ good

[V2-pH-1]
i been feeling so low, in my moody vibes
losing appetite so i set the food aside
why am i so blue
looking for a key but i got no clue
안좋은 기분 갖고
주위 사람앞에서 기쁜척, 그것도 일이야
머리아픈 스트레스 풀고싶어
DVD 하나 빌려 지금 집에 가는 길이야
혼자인것 같아서
주윌 둘러봤어
but to my surprise
i’ve got you so i’m not alone
비가올때나
힘이 겨울때나
다 지겨울때나
know when
praises go up
blessings come down
and that’s what it’s all about

*Im gonna fight to live today
I’m gonna live my life with joy

Feelin' Good ft. pH-1

[Verse 1]
Couldn't tell me that I'd see the day
Where the valley shade
Darkening my vision feel afraid
N' I try to pray
Gimme more, gimme better faith
But wait…maybe there be colors in the grey
& wait, maybe there'd be feelins in the fray
& wait… empathy be livins in the pain
& wait… better is the One who really stayed
The One who really stayed, cus He really made the Way, yea.

Livin' in expectation
Fightin' this cynical mind
Ego intoxication
Sober me up from the lie
That I don't need nobody
I cannot live in this state
I really do need somebody
I wanna live a better way.

[Chorus]
Please don't let the moment slip away
I will fight to live another day
Please don't let this ego lead my way
I will fight to live another day
I will carry on
I will carry on
I will carry on
I'mma sing my song
I'mma sing my song
I'mma sing my song

[Verse 2]
Every song you make sound the same
You are not original, you are lame
Why you even still here? Quit the game
Aint nobody but you to take the blame
All they really want is a vibe now
Make you wanna get another job and hide out
Make you wonder now, if it's really worth the pain
When you feel like all you're worth is only pocket change
Who'd've thought, pocket change hurt
Brass coin, dollar bill, valuated dirt
Why does the money even matter, I don't know
Maybe 'cause I feel like I'm just here to give a show

Livin' in expectation
Fightin' this cynical mind
Ego intoxication
Sober me up from the lie

Carry On

[Hook]
When it's said and done
I will see the sun
I will see your lovely face
When it's said and done

[Verse 1]
Wake me up
'cause I wanna be
Be alive
I wanna see a new tomorrow
There is a day
That soon will come
Trouble will end
The battle be won

[Verse 2]
When will it end
The worry and hurt
I wanna know
With more than words, that it was worth it
There is a day
That soon will come
Trouble with will end
The battle be won.

Said and Done

**This will be the end of you and me
I will keep this memory
And I'll cherish you forever
This is a beginning, a new day
And I'll find another way
But you'll be with me forever

Six pack o' lies, bottoms up, fadin out
Letting these voices inebriate
Got no faith, man I wanna escape
escapade, vacation, call it siesta
Don't wanna try for the next semester
Flunked outta life, yea, that's how I feel
it don't really matter, man i gotta keep it real.
but on the real, can't believe you're gone
can't believe it's over, it’s been so long
over these years saw the passion die
no time for eulogy, we had to get by
growin' up always feels too hard
getting old really hurts my heart
'cause of all moments i miss

we did good but the clock's run out
this is my last goodbye.

All beginnings have an end
Every journey has a bend
Yes your soul can have a friend
Who will love forever
All this time is wasted not
You will never be forgot
You will go into forever

[Verse 1]
I gotta give it all away
All control and letters to my name
I simply cannot concentrate
Distracted by the noise from every way
Grayscale vision got me feelin misled
Can I even trust that I’m moving ahead?
Many days only thing on my mind bread
Many days thinking maybe better off dead
But I got you, that is what I will say
That you are the reason that I got a new way
You are my reality, not an escape
Tell me now, tell me now that I’m safe.

[Chorus]
You, make me feel safe
Cover my shame
Love me by name
You, make me feel brave
You take on my pain
so I can say..

All I got, all I got, all I got is you
All I need, all I need, all I need is you
All I want, all I want, all I want is you
All I need, all I need, all I need is you

[Verse 2]
Oh can you take me to a place
Shelter from the water and the flame
Oh please don't let me isolate
Gimme strength to get me through this day
Everybody lookin' so good on these screens
I don't even know if they really see me
Many days only thing I want is to live
Better than the past, I got nothin' to give
But I got you, that is what I will say
That you are the reason that I got my own way
You are my reality, not an escape
And I know, and I know that I’m safe.

[Bridge]
Darkness blindin' I'm looking for care
Can I really see beyond all of the stares?
Many days hurtin' more than what I can bear
Many days only made it 'cause you've been there
And I got you, that is all that I know
And you are the reason that I got a new flow
You are my reality, not an escape
Tell me now, tell me now that I’m safe

Safe ft. Ruth Sanga

I get up, I get down
It's the rhythm of my battle drum
I get up, I get down
I'mma struggle 'til the day is done

Every voice telling me that I am thinking wrong
Change ya tune, change ya chord, sing that other song
Little brother turned into an insecure man
Any type of criticism make me into "lesser than"
Never believed I could be right or be me
What is me? They just tell me what I'm s'pposed to be
Gotta be a brand, but I never really owned it for myself
Now I'm nebulous, I'm tired of it, this stress my mental health
see my chaos and I know I gotta speak into it
I see my apathy I know I gotta battle ruthless
I know my Father look at me and He is well pleased
the problem is that I aint good enough for me
maybe the best thing for me is You
I know the pain will show the truth
maybe I am beautiful to You

*I just want to be myself
I just want to be myself today
Wanna know just who I am
I need you to help me understand

**Who I am is beloved
Who I am is more than what I’ve done
Who I am is worthy of some lovin
Who I am has really just begun
Who I am is a treasure
Who I am is royalty in blood
Who I am is a warrior for the kingdom
Who I am has really just begun

Nobody will know that I’m speaking of my sweat and blood
Only hear they talk of blessings coming down above
When my praises go up the blessing come down
But my blessing is to keep me low to the ground
The blessing is needing more love than I ever knew
The blessing is knowing there’s nothing I can really do
The blessing is pain, adversity, my own addiction
Cause if I didn’t cry in need then would I really listen ?
The blessing is losing illusion of my control
The blessing is being betrayed and you bleed slow
The blessing is to feel the discipline of better love
There's better love than self love, lovin' from the One
The only One who can take all this craziness
The only Father good enough for all the fatherless
I know that my pain it clarifies the truth
that maybe I am beautiful to You

Who I Am

"Can I Have The Day With You" ft. Michelle is a song about longing to be with the beloved.

Composed by Sam Ock & Michelle
Art by Michelle

Lyrics:
 
can i have the day with you?
nothing more that i would choose
nothing more that i could use
than a little afternoon
sittin’ with you

can i see the moon with you?
nothing more that i would choose
nothing more that i could use
than a twilight and a twinkle of you

can i sing a song with you?
ivory and orange hues
you and i can sing in tune
we will sing away the blues

can we write a novel too?
something beautiful and new
tales of glory and of truth
a grander story of me and of you

can i spend my life with you?
nothin’ more that i would choose
nothin’ more that i could use
than forever and a day, with you

Can I Have The Day With You ft. Michelle

Song about Jesus and love.

"I'm Okay" by Sam Ock

*I’m okay any day
When the leaves fall, when it rains
In my troubles, all my pain
because You love me

I’m okay everyday
When I’m swerving through life’s lanes
All the fears and all the blame
because You love me!

I wish I could write a simple kind of love song
but in light of eternity, the road’s long
going on endlessly, true serenity
bought upon the tree, Jesus bled for me...
So perceiving that time goes on forever,
simple, romantic love with a half -- better
is sure swell, but just an image of the real thing
I’ll never let the romance overtake my King
It’s hard to believe that my soul with live forever
It feels like to this physical world, I’m tethered
there definitely is a spiritual war, I know it
like the pen’s trying to force affections of the Poet
I know that many can’t relate, maybe some can
to try and find the role of love in the Artist’s plan
‘cause Lord, I don’t want to sing of love that won’t last
so give me Your love and Spirit, steadfast

*

Every single day I wait
for love to dance with me...
but I know that it ain’t so simple, see,
there’s struggle within loyalty (oh)
there’s so much that I want to be!

So to you my good friends, or to you my lover,
let us seek truth fervently, my sister, brothers
in all we do may we never settle for something less
than what we’re meant to experience, knowing that we’re blessed
by our Father above, we’re given pleasure, pains
to see the beauty of the summer nights and fall rains
yea...for I will sing in the darkest days
knowing I’m forgiven and fought for, and so I’ll say
