Lyrics :

[Verse] 
You taught me what I didn’t know 
You dried my tears, and taught my heart 
How to fear 
A favor so incredible 
So underserved, came to me 
Here on earth 

[Pre Chorus] 
All distress and anxiety 
Fell off of me 
And the scales upon my eyes 
Had fallen to my feet 
And a grace divine, and timely 
It met me here 
It met me here 

[Chorus 1] 
In the hour I first believed in You 
In the hour I first believed in You 

[Verse] 
You taught me what I didn’t know 
You dried my tears, and taught my heart 
How to fear 
A favor so incredible 
So underserved, came to me 
Here on earth 

[Pre Chorus] 
All distress and anxiety 
Fell off of me 
And the scales upon my eyes 
Had fallen to my feet 
And a grace divine, and timely 
It met me here 
It met me here 

[Chorus 2] 
In the hour I first believed in You 
In the hour I first believed in You 
Where would I be 
If not for Your truth 
The truth in Your Word 
That I heard 
And transformed me anew 
In the hour I first believed You 

Ah yeah

Sometimes we find ourselves in dark places because of our own decisions and actions, but other times our 'mountains' serve another purpose...to take us HIGHER!! 

"I give mountains to you so you can go higher." 

James 1:2-4 

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Mountains

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.


Nothing But A 'G' Thang

A song off the forthcoming mixtape His2ry in Progress: Return of a King

Be Ill(umination) Feat. Tee DeWitt

Verse of Beginning

It didn’t sound like a rap song at first.
It came in sideways,
saying: I’m here anyway,
I’ll introduce you to another day.

To interact is to create.
To create is to locate.
To locate is to recognize:
I am where I am,
because I say so.

Equation: Presence = Creation × Recognition.
(P = C × R)

⸻

Verse of Self-Judgment

I am the judge of my rung,
the rungjury where I stand.
I lay off what I don’t need,
I keep what allows me to see.

To accept myself
without yet changing myself
is to hold coherence.

Equation: Acceptance = Self ÷ Judgment.
(A = S ÷ J)

⸻

Verse of Distraction

Caught up in the moment,
I can’t see past my own step.
Destiny calls,
identity interrupts.

Everything’s attraction,
everything’s distraction.
Every magnet is also mask.

Equation: Attraction – Distraction = Conversion.
(A – D = Cv)

⸻

Verse of Conversion

I step out from me,
I convert into witness.
I arrive before I arrive.
I see before I feel.

Identity wears me,
yet identity remakes me.
I am sleeve and skin,
belief and breath.

Equation: Identity = Belief × Expression.
(I = B × E)

⸻

Verse of Condition

Reality is condition.
Condition is time.
Time is the mind’s invention,
shaped by what I choose to see.

My feeling paints perception.
My perception sculpts condition.
Thus I create reality—
not alone, but through choice.

Equation: Reality = Perception × Time.
(R = P × T)

⸻

Chorus of Identity

I am always bringing me into me.
I am always sleeve and scar.
I am always the sum of belief.
I am always the product of flow.

Equation: Self = ∑(Belief × Action).
(S = ∑(B × A)

⸻

Closing Canticle

Thus identity is recursive.
Thus reality is equation.
Thus presence is spiral.

We create ourselves by living,
we live ourselves by creating.

And Love is the constant
that balances every formula.

Equation: 5 = Love.
(5 = L)

ANGELS - Sean C. Johnson

In every failure there is a lesson to be learned and with every heartbreak there is a chance to draw closer to God. With that in mind Sean releases "Save Me", a song that speaks openly about the desire to find love and the feelings you have when it doesn't workout. God tells us to bring everything to him in prayer (Phil 4:6)...that burden is not yours to carry.
