BECOMING JESUS

SPLENDID

When I was kid I loved reading comic books. The issues I enjoyed the most were the ones that told a heroes origin story. This album is my “origin story”. While I’m no hero, I do have a story to tell and my story was shaped by four events that all happened…in 1993.:

* Death of my mother.
* Falling in love with music.
* Viewing pornographic material for the first time.
* Giving my life to Christ.

Each song on the album will be told through the lens of these four events and give listeners a peak into what shaped me.


SIDE A – Past
1. Mountains
2. Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang
3. Melodies (From Heaven)
4. Redemption Song ft. Armond Wakeup & Adam L.
5. Never Knew Him

SIDE B – Present
6. Mirror
7. No Flex Zone (Re-Imagined)
8. Made of Love (Charity)
9. Final Frontier
BONUS TRACK – Magic & Kareem

SIDE A is set in 1993 and touches on dealing with the death of my mother (“Mountains”), falling in love with music and exploring my musical tastes (“Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang” & “Melodies”), and hearing the gospel for the first time (“Redemption Song” & “Never Knew Him”)

SIDE B, If Side A is the “Cause”, Side B is the “Effect” and is set in the present.  It explores me being aware of the many sins in my life (including Pornography) and shows me maturing, growing, and walking out my faith (“Mirror” & “No Flex Zone”).  It also shows how pornography has warped my view of love now that I’m in a relationship (“Made of Love”). And lastly the album concludes with me accepting my call to make God honoring music (“Final Frontier”)

BONUS TRACK – This song shows where I’m at currently as an independent artist and vents some of my frustrations.

The Altar Call

Agape

Intro:
(Anni Best) Overwhelmed in You, 
Eternally with You, 
Agape love, Agape

(Machi) Aye cuz we can’t keep rapping all these deep words and they ain’t trynna read the lyrics,

I’m boutta rock on the beat with the Rock with me, 
Spit these soliloquies and let them freeze,

Verse One - Machi:
As far as fact is from fiction goes the diction,
Pensively scribbling, plot thickens,
This dense penmanship I’m endless with, while they wishin,
But I’m a Christian and fixed in His image, (what did you expect) what should I depict? 
Simply imagine it, 
This intricate, incubated sequence of flows the Three-in-One-Man syndicate bestowed,
Through such inspired I wrote the prose, free form composed,
Those that once groaned hold the gaze, pay manifold witness to the Truth so portrayed,
The Stone was rolled away, He left the grave to pave a way though post-betrayed, 
We don’t deserve His grace,
Don’t care if I irritate, ends justifying the means but I can’t be crooked to set it straight, 
So I said it straight, let me elaborate,
The Prophet came so we’d profit, endured hate, Christ’s so immaculate,
Had to proclaim the only Name able to emancipate,
Syntactical not fantastical, hope this message permeates,
And I hope we reach the pearly gates.

Hook:
Overwhelmed in You,
Eternally with You,
Agape love, Agape,

Overwhelming you,
Eternally with You,
Agape love, Agape

(Rich) It's like 5:45, Ri¢h

Verse Two - Ri¢h:
Don't you hear the fire burning?
They tried to see if I'd compromise for higher earnings, 
He tryna see if we drop despise and take up Love,
But when we pray its just self absorbed forget the blood,
It's a sin to kill a mockingbird, 
So when I’m shapin all these bars the architecture founded on His word,
See I’m just tryna spread a lil Joy to people,
He let me in and He aint even check the peep hole,
Pullup with that Blanco horse when its the sequel, 
Praises up to Abba cuz my Taylor play swift,
I be singing I don't shift the key,
There's references but don't forget to drop the key shift,
Gen. 2 Sev medulla  oblongata,
Lets get back to Eden where we move bachata,
Get a taste and you would get to see,
His tongue could quiet up the wildest of the 7 seas

Hook

Verse Three - Machi and Ri¢h:
Machi - 
Bass lick accentuates my delivery, 
Going back to the basics expedited my deliverance,
Feel sheer glee, Scripture grants replenishment, surely I’ll share glee,
Tongues speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance, you heard me,

Ri¢h -
Affirmative, 10-4 the weapons that we rockin arent flesh,
Sinking when you puttem to the test,
He always check my mates and made the promise wit his chest,
Submit to his will and Ima blacksmith movin wit the sharpest of steels,

Machi -
Make a point off the steal more of a reclaiming, 
Took back musicality, zeal actualized, forreal, proclaiming the Name,
Peeped lyrics used for blasphemy so came in for the kill, such a thrill-, errrkin the rest of the game, but it’s ok, Love sustaining

Ri¢h -
We reached the limits, as we function kno sky is next,                                                     
We set the standards, mark the bar, covered by the mark of God,                                           
Equipped with armor never to touch a scar,                                                                      
Bezalel depicted Lion he won it all.

Agape - Machi, Ri¢h and Anni Best

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's more than anything that meets the eye
I've found something that money can't buy
Stashed away inside of my chest
Keeps me happy and blessed

[Chorus]
People wonder, and they ask me
'Why you smiling like this?'
And I say
I found joy
Goodbye to the old world
And to the life I wont miss because now
I've found joy

[Verse 2]
Made a difference to the way I roll
Switched the pace of the life I know
It's a piece of Heaven that resides in me
Gonna be like this for eternity

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I found it in, I found it in Jesus
No one can take my joy from me
I found it in, I found it in Jesus
No one can take my joy from me

[Chorus x2] 

[Outro]
The Joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord is my strength
