"Everyday" ft. Raely Elle is track 1 of James Julius' "Made New" album, as well as the second single release.  The temptation of sin is an every day struggle that we all must endure.  Some claim that when we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus, that we are finished with this temptation.  That we are currently made complete through our salvation and sin has no power to tempt us.  This is simply NOT true.  The bible has many things to say about very real and current temptation for the believer.  Including: Matthew 26:41, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Ephesians 6:11, Galatians 5:16-17, etc.

This song depicts someone who is struggling with sin and can't seem to get past the walls that enclose him.  In each new verse the person gradually realizes their need to seek Jesus daily and put their sinful desires to death.

Lyrics: 

(Chorus - ELLE)

Every Day,
I sit, I wait, I pray,
But something's in my way,
Lord help me find my grace,
To win or lose this race.
Find myself trying to win,
But these walls wont let me in,
I need your strength - your love.
(Yea, yea, yea)

(Verse 1 - James Julius)

What happened to me?
I used to be so passionate,
Now when The Spirit rolls through I'm passin' it,
Now I'm chillin' with the flesh instead of attackin' it,
Help me see that your grace is immaculate,
I need your grace, I need your strength,
I don't really give a care what people think,
Cuz the pain starts to gain and I can't maintain,
It looks like I'm just stuck in a rain,
With no umbrella,
I'm just another fella who got his shortcomings,
Man I shoulda known betta,
And the rain keeps falling and I keep gettin' wetta',
No signs if sunshine,
No signs of gettin' betta,
How'd this happen?
I'm so gone in the midst of storm in a danger zone,
I'm callin' to you now, "Please pick up your phone"
Cuz I'm lost and I don't know how to get home,
I'm broken, was hopin' that you would open your arms,
And let me rest in your pleasant presence from dusk until dawn,
Oh I'd do anything just to feel your love,
Lord come fill my cup,
I'm desperate for your touch Father,
Cuz I can't get enough!

(Chorus)

(Verse 2 - James Julius)

I keep on sinnin',
I can't keep goin' pretending,
Like this aint killin' me cuz really I don't feel like I'm livin',
At night when I'm asleep,
I toss and turn in my sheets,
Because of my dreams I'm havin' scenes of burnin' agony and heat,
I wake up kickin' and screamin',
Lord Jesus what is the meanin'?!
Is this my fate that I'm seein' when I'm no longer breathin?!
I hit my knees and start grievin',
Tell my soul, "It's time for a cleanin!"
Act like the tower of Pisa,
And I begin to start leanin',
On the son like I oughta be,
The one who's ruling sovereignly,
The potter who spotted me,
Molded me like I was pottery,
Man I shoulda been dead,
In the ground them worms shoulda been fed,
But ya you heard my cry Lord,
Ya your heard when i said,
"The enemy,
Gettin' me, sendin' me plenty of negative energy,
Help me please, I'm on my knees,
I need you now, I can't see,
I'm on the line,
Can't go no further right,
I'm lookin' for the light,
But ya I'm walking blind."

(Verse 3 - James Julius) Christian Rap

Every Day, Every Day,
I'm tryin' to get away,
I can't take it not much longer,
Put your grace on me!
When the stone rolled away,
We was sold that day,
And aint no jokin',
If you broken you can be whole today,
And that's the fact of the factor ya!
The "Happy Eva Afta",
Some of y'all got it twisted,
You need to re-read ya chapters,
Ya His, love is extravagant,
But dog that's only half of it,
His wrath is just,
So don't act like the price was inadequate,
Pick up your cross daily,
Man aint no probablys or maybe,
Or you'll be hiding from the son,
Askin', "Why is it so shady?"
You gotta make war,
Don't befriend the enemies tendencies tend to leave plenty grief,
Often offendin' me,
So often I off-em, pop-em, start closin' the coffin,
I'm sick of all his antics,
But you won't catch me coughin',
And I'm not longer a slave,
To myself and my sinfulish ways,
I gotta pick up my cross daily,
Do it every day!

(Chorus)

"Never Let Go" is track 3 of James Julius' "Made New" Album.  "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand." John 10:27-28.  These verses are only one of many places God's word promises that He will never let go of His children.  His word repeatedly says He is always with us.  God's grace & mercy is so deep, that we could "drop the ball" a thousand times and He would still love us and not give up on us.  That's an unconditional love better than any love that exists here among people!  Do you have His love that will never let go?

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Straight up out the water with my hands to the savior,
Call Him elevator,
Mama let Him elevate 'cha,
No Mentos but He the fresh maker,
Alpha and omega,
Who you know that was greater?
The trinity, I'm talkin' 'bout the Son, Spirit, Father,
Don't treat 'em like magic,
He ain't a genie in a bottle, (Bottle)
Ya I'm talkin' Christina Aguilera,
The kingdom guides her hand,
But I didn't mean to scare ya,
Scare ya, know I want The Father to repair ya,
Pair ya to the one who gives ya' vision clearer,
Clear ya from distraction,
He don't wanna share ya,
If you wanna change the world,
Change the man in the mirror,
M.J., but he'll never fade away,
There's so many distractions that be tryin' to distract me,
Ya there's so many decoys,
Gotta me spinnin' like B-Boys,
But I shake 'em,
Break their ankles to the goal like I'm B-Roy.

(Chorus - Raely Elle & The Music Miss)
I fell a thousand times but still I know you'll never let go,
You see the wrongs in my life,
And still you never let go,
Never let go,
You'll Never let go,
Never let go,
You'll never let go,
I fell a thousand times but still I know you'll never let me go.

(Verse 2)
I fell a thousand times,
Still you have forgiven me,
You called me outta darkness while I was your enemy,
And all the sin in me was drastically diminishing,
My inner being chokin' me out like a guillotine,
Two & nine, Ya i'm talkin' first Peter,
Chosen by God,
Ya, I'm God's people,
Don't ever let the devil come and deceive ya,
'Cuz he'll straight beat ya,
He'll thief ya then leave ya,
You remain the same unlike the rest of them,
No not a comfort inn,
But you can rest in Him,
And Jacob was crazy to try to wrestle Him,
He never took an L in His life,
Who wanna mess with Him?
The earth proclaims the name,
The King of Kings,
If we didn't say a thing the rocks would scream His name,
Jesus Christ, the rock who was slain,
The top of the game,
The S.P.F. who's blockin' the flame.

(Chorus - Raely Elle & The Music Miss) Christian Rap

(Verse 3)
So I praise more,
Lord Jesus thank you,
Let the redeemed of The Lord stand up and say so,
I done pushed you away,
Time and time before,
And I was seconds from my death,
But still you never let go,
Go ahead homie,
You can call me the names,
Take all of the fame,
And here you go take all of the change,
A new creation homeboy,
No longer the same,
I model The King,
Breakin' shackles and all of the chains,
You can call me a lame,
I ain't bein' appeasin', people pleasin',
It don't matter as long as Christ sees me,
Ya, You can hate me but you'll never really fade me though,
Even if they cock it back and then they let it go,
And I'mma let it blow right up out ya stereo,
And let 'em know,
Ain't no burden He can't carry bro,
We profess the name,
We unashamed!
Not Lecrae,
But we still rep' 116!

Lyrics:

(Verse 1 - James Julius)
Early in the mornin',
Breath stinkin' while I'm yawnin',
Mayne I look up out my window,
Seein' that the rain is pourin',
They told me, "Take the day off.",
But that will never pay off,
Lord help me keep my cool in the midst of all this chaos,
Yup, death is all around me,
Them haters try to clown me,
Even folks I love the most kick me while I'm down,
He said He'll never leave us and He said He won't forsake us,
They told us to deny the name but homie they can't make us,
Imma back my cross I take up,
In a world that is so frozen,
The storm produces fruit,
This is how I know I'm chosen,
I'm off and I'm soarin' even when I'm at my lowest,
Christ is my insurance,
Trials strengthen my endurance,
I just thought that ya'll should know this dogg,
Peep at what I'm sayin',
You ain't gotta take my word,
You can read it all in James,
He made it simple, made it plain,
When you're going through some things,
Ya, we pray for sunny days,
Until we dancin' in the rain,
Ayy.

(Bridge - James Julius)
Ya, they say that we crazy,
Ya man, they think that we insane,
'Cuz we count it as a joy,
As we're walkin' through the pain,
When the storm sticks around,
And it doesn't seem to change,
No we don't lay down, Naw,
'Cuz we're dancing in the rain.

(Chorus - TRUe)
Count it all joy,
Fight through the pain,
Let your faith produce patience,
You'll be dancing in the rain,
Follow the Lord,
He'll be your strength,
Maintain your focus,
And keep dancing in the rain,
Keep dancing in the rain.
(Chorus - Raely Elle)
Dancing in the rain (x4)

(Verse 2 - E-Sential)
In the midst of my trial it seems,
Like I'm on my own and I'm solo,
Thinkin' to myself like, "Where is my team?",
But The Lord knows that I gotta grow so,
I be up in the word like a feign,
And I'm readin' James,
Keep it deep inside of my heart,
When this world it gets mean,
Thank God that I've been set free,
I'm filled with joy,
But I can't lie, sometimes I'm annoyed,
When the enemy tries to destroy,
In the dark of the night,
But I got my sword,
Reppin' for Jesus Christ,
He the message boy,
When I be stuck I'm pressin' forward,
Never givin' up bro,
Kinda like Troy,
In the midst of trial endure by choice,
Hear His voice,
'Cuz it helps and gives you strength,
Persevere through,
Go dance in the rain,
And be filled with joy,
In the midst of your pain and give Him thanks,
That's the change,
That He brings when your rise up in faith instead of sink,
Trust in The King 'cuz He got you man,
Lift your hands up and just steady sing.

(Chorus - TRUe & Raely Elle)

(Verse 3 - Great Dem)
It's raining, It's pourin',
The old man is snorin',
But naw, we out dancin',
Bein' down and so foreign,
So we hope you're in the mood to start praisin',
My problems got me joyful,
So my hands I stay raisin' them,
Count it all joy when you fall through the trials,
Now we back flippin' wallets,
Sprinklin' like Gile,
Street fighters for the kingdom,
No lunch breaks,
Umbrellas for my brothers who ain't covered by pure faith,
It's a win or lose,
Livin' for Christ man,
You gotta chose,
Nothin' comes easy so watch what you do,
When you fall off and you see life gives you blues,
I'mma tell you the news,
Christ is alive so it's time to cruise,
We used to live hood,
Now it's good once we found out the heaven move,
And the serpents bruise,
We wearin' rain boots,
We're prepared to win,
Now catch us moon walkin' when it's floodin' in,
This is where the pain ceases,
And the love begins,
So Holy Spirit breathe,
Wash away our sins.

(Chorus - TRUe & Raely Elle)

"Made New" Album

Portland, OR

"Break 'Em Off" is track 14 of James Julius' "Made New" Album.  Individuals who are the most intimidating need the gospel message just as much as anyone else.  People in the roughest neighborhoods are often feared and neglected by, not all, but many Christians who are spreading truth.

This song encourages believers to have courage when ministering to people in all areas.  It also serves as a reminder to how urban ministry is so influential in reaching lost sheep in places beyond our "comfort-zone".  

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh." John 6:51! Let's Break 'Em Off a piece of that living bread!

Lyrics:

(Intro)
Ya, It's the word of God,
It's the bread of life,
We got it and they need it,
Let's break 'em off.

(Verse 1)
I stand firm with my faith,
Never shake nor shiver,
I'm about to break 'em off,
The bread of life is what I give 'em,
Callin' Papa for the orders,
Man, I betcha he'll deliver,
Old James has been dead,
They say they found 'em by the river,
See the hood has been starvin',
They want that soul food,
And I ain't 'bout to be stingy,
Let's feed the multitude,
Headed up to I-5 with J. Cromes in the Suburban,
Now we swervin',
Lookin' to serve 'em,
Living water's what we servin',
In a setting that is urban and them gangstas lounge here,
And if you ain't from 'round here,
They say, "Don't come around here.",
They tote them guns around here,
Dope fiends they run around here,
That's why we missional,
Ya, we preach The Son around here,
Rollin' 'round M.L.K.,
Ya them choppers might blow,
And if you slip on the wrong tip,
Might get your casket closed,
You betta' lock yo' doors when them thangs take off,
Hey Cromie stop the car dogg,
Cuz I gotta break 'em off, ayy.

(Chorus)
The hood has been starvin',
They been hungry for awhile,
Ya we got the bread of life,
And I know the time is now,
I break 'em off,
I break 'em off,
Ya it's time to break 'em off,
You break 'em off,
You break 'em off,
Ya it's time to break 'em off,
(x2)

(Verse 2)
Ain't no time for the playin',
Ain't no time for the games,
There's people hurtin', lookin', and searchin',
Theres souls to be saved,
I know there's killas on Killingsworth who be movin' a killa work,
Who don't know about The Son,
They don't know what the killings worth,
So we breakin' bread with all them,
Show 'em how to follow Him,
Tyra Banks fool,
Best believe we gon' model Him,
Follow Him, 'till the day I die,
When they put me in the earth,
When I hit the hearse and it lifts the dirt,
When He back to attack and to get the church,
All of me now,
Speakin' and seekin' of Jesus,
And wanna follow Him now,
Call on Him now,
Shackles be broken to pieces whenever my father's around,
They think they know but they don't know,
Been a rebel, send me Lord I'll go,
Everybody walkin' 'round with a blindfold,
Eyes closed,
That's why I break 'em off though.

(Chorus) Christian Rap

(Bridge)
I break 'em off
(x8)
I break 'em off, I break 'em off,
Ya It's time to break 'em off,
You break 'em off, You break 'em off,
Ya It's time to break 'em off,
(x2)
