Lyrics

Verse 1
It’s a different world then where I come from
So much done changed since last year
Man I took so much for granted
The little things that gave us the advantage 
Nowadays, I’m trying not to panic
Married with kids, tryna manage 
I wear a mask everywhere that I go
Cause COVID-19 out here doing damage
I ain’t done a show in like 6 months
All performances got cancelled
Pandemic shut down everything 
These are unprecedented times 
Whole operation on the internet solely 
Meeting on Zoom only
Shop on Amazon mostly
Curbside for groceries 
Just wish I could pick my produce & poultry
Toilet paper everywhere out of stock
Praying I don’t have to think outside the box
Everything happened at the same time
Whew, my God, this is a lot
I became a school principal overnight
Trying keep my kids on task is a fight
My wife trying to teach em with all her might
All things considered, we’re doing alright
Some days are better than others, praying that God gives us foresight
And the energy to spend time with em, instead of letting them all day play Fortnite 
2020 blocking shots like a goalie
But I won’t let it control me
Pivot and make progress slowly
Things got wild after the death of Kobe
 
Verse 2
First it was Ahmaud Aubrey, then Breonna Taylor
Senselessly murdered like thousands of black people in the past, so many layers 
Then George Floyd was killed by a police officer, knee on his neck 
For almost 9 minutes, causing him to go into cardiopulmonary arrest
Whole world got a reality check
No sports to distract us from this mess
Never seen so many white people on the streets with Black Lives Matter on their chest 
Protesting systemic racism, I ain’t know what to think for a sec
But I’m glad many more people see our plight with the cops being a threat
Meanwhile coronavirus is still here, 
Many companies working on a vaccine 
unemployment still is a problem 
And they don’t know how to solve it exactly
Left & right been negotiating for months 
At the same time, many can’t pay their rent 
While we waiting on a vaccine development 
What they gone do once the money’s spent 
But Quarantine has had a lot of benefits
Parents spending more time with their kids
And slowing down the way that they live
And even cooking a little bit
2020 has not in any way, shape or form been the smoothest
But I’m leaning on the Lord, praying everyday that He’ll help us get through this

A Different World

“I started writing just to get good enough to battle a rapper in my high school that I felt was disrespecting the craft.” “I was into the culture – the four elements – B-boying, MCing, Graffiti Art, and DJing he was into getting attention/showing off…I guess you could say he was into rap and I was into hip-hop.”

30-yr-old Darrell Bell, better known as Stephen the Levite (STL), is a husband, father, community leader, and Christian emcee. The California native is a son of the hip-hop movement, a student of the culture, and a leader in a new genre of underground hip-hop music with a Christian message. Growing up in the era when Gangsta rap and East Coast/West Coast rivalries were dominating the urban music scene, STL was a bit different from many of his peers. Taking the time to delve into the origins of hip-hop with his Asian-American, Latino and Caucasian friends while in high school, fleeting music trends didn’t sway STL – his passion was tied to the core tenants of the genre.

Heavily influenced by some of his favorite rappers at the time – Heavy D, Wu Tang Clan, Mob Deep, Common, and others – STL drew more and more into the music. Never one to freestyle in battles, STL began writing consistently at the age of 15 to hone his craft. The ruggedness, artistry, and competitiveness of hip-hop captivated him – suddenly the music had become an innate expression of who he was.

Upon graduation from high school, after getting saved in his late teens, STL enrolled in Calvary Chapel Bible College. It was there that he begin rapping in a group called Redeemed Thought, spreading the knowledge he gained from his classes to diverse audiences. From the beginning of his career, Stephen the Levite chose to be direct about his faith in his lyrics. After seeing a musical group perform which did not disclose their faith as a driving force behind their music, STL determined that he would be upfront about his musical intentions to his audiences. STL became engrossed in the music that Philadelphia based Christian hip-hop group Cross Movement was doing – the group’s work would become his standard for excellence and a model for his own career.

After feeling led spiritually to move to Philadelphia, Stephen the Levite along with his group mate muzeONE set out to make the city of brotherly love their new home town. It wasn’t long before Stephen the Levite became a part of the Christian Hip-Hop movement, linking up with fellow lyricists, singers, producers, and more. He soon signed to Lamp Mode Recordings and quickly made a name for himself both in the city and around the nation.

Stephen the Levite has a burden on his heart for this generation. “I want to see the family get straight. It all starts with men being responsible, taking care of their kids, being a part of churches and living as upright men. Those are the building blocks of a healthy community.” When asked why the name, Stephen the Levite his answer is simple – “Stephen, the martyr is my hero – he didn’t have a title or prestige, but he stood up for God and people responded to the message he delivered. That is the type of person I want to model, the legacy I want to leave.”
