“You can only understand people if you feel them in yourself” - John Steinbeck 

What is empathy? - one ability to understand & relate to the feelings of others 

How to be empathetic? - Being aware of other people's feelings, not being self centered & considering not only the effect of an action to you but also how it would affect others

Who does empathy affect? - at work, empathy with family and kids included ,empathy in a relationship etc **one ability to show Empathy can effect any type of relationship, think about all relationships take 2 and it’s important to be able to relate and considerate towards others 

Christian Perspective: 

God created all humans as equal, there is not one human who is superior to another. He created us to be like minded so that we can relate to another & be compassionate, kind, & loving towards one another.

But without empathy none of those things are possible, God says love your brothers and sisters and treat them how you would want to be treated (during the good times and bad times) everyday / daily. 

1 Peter 3:8 ESV 
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

1 Corinthians 12:26 ESV 
If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.


Ephesians 4:32 ESV
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

EP25 - What is Empathy?

(Verse)
I’m tryna reach fa da stars, ik ima star
U can be whoeva u wanna be, jus go w ya heart 
I was dis close to quitting on myself, but God gave me a spark 
His Holy Spirit got me glowing Fr, ima light in da dark 

Dis ain’t fa da church, dis fa da skreets
Dis fa da humble, dis fa da meek
Dis fa dem single mothas wit no peace 
Dis fa dem young brothas pushin P

It’s a way out, u jus gotta have faith
God will neva put too much on ya plate
May not read my Bible but I pray erryday
So I kno dat I’m covered by grace

Dey can’t block my blessings, back den I was on da corner begging
God took me in when I was sloppy seconds, God is real and it ain’t no second guessing

Trust me, I was headed fa da grave
I was blinded by da fame, I was slave 
You don’t put ya faith in Jesus boy u brave 
Man I’m tryna let da world kno Jesus saves

Cus he saved me

(Hook)
From drugs, wat else?
From clubs, wat else?
From pride, wat else?
From dying, wat else?

From Satan, wat else?
From hatred, wat else?
From porn, wat else?
From hoeing

(Verse)
He ain’t nun like Cain but he able, it ain’t nun but his grace dat I’m stable
U can’t tell me bout nun, Ik I’m favored, I ain’t use to all dis love, I’m use to haters

Cus Satan got da world backwards, got da world full of demon bastards 
Got us lost, got us all in shackles, he a snake, he a pterodactyl 

Can’t believe he tried to play me dawg, I wasn’t nun but a baby dawg
See I kno about ya ni u dat stank lil girl biting heads off of baby dolls

Lucifer u big hater, a wanna be, u pump faker
Stage dancer, u a rump shaker
Headshots I’m throwing haymakers, beybladers

I’m tryna tell em Jesus saves, he da one help me change my ways
It’s gon get hard but keep ya faith, and when u talk to God jus keep it skrate

Gabbana out here giving game fa free, Gabbana out here praising G.O.D
Ik he got da power to save u, cus out of all ppl he saved me 

(Hook)
From drugs, wat else?
From clubs, wat else?

Jesus Saves

[Intro]
Dis fa errybody who be running dey mouf bout my Lord and savior. When dey don’t kno who he is Fr

He ain’t just die fa me. He died fa u 2
Gabbana

[Holy Gabbana] (Verse)
Da world dey think he boring, talk down, dey don’t even kno him
See God to dem is foreign, dey lost like whea u going?

Gotta show em who Jesus is, he don’t judge da outter appearance
He don’t care bout tats, like some of y’all do, he ain’t like no regular parent

Ain’t nun een regular bout him, he God in human flesh
If u wanna be skrong, throughout ya walk u gon go thru some test
I failed a couple times Fr see I’m jus like da rest, so many times I called on God to get me out my mess

And errytime he came thru, wit da Lord I can’t lose
Visualized him on da cross, it’s like I felt his pain too
God ur word manifested in my life, it came true
Now I’m tryna save dese kids from walking in my same shoes Fr 

[1kPhew] (Hook)

Jesus love me this I know for the Bible tells me so let’s go
Ion wanna hit no lick no mo but I did dirt on Panola rd
Ion wanna take no risk no mo when I throw my dice I slow my roll
I ain’t wanna make no play no mo when I got locked up by state patrol

Noooooo can’t sell my soul
Tell the devil no no no no
Pullin up on my demons tell em get low low low low
When it come to Jesus they know I’m gang gang gang gang

[Holy Gabbana] (Verse)
Dawg dis deeper den rap, I’m tryna spread a message 
I’m tryna shine da light God gave me, to those feeling helpless
Ik da church gon feel it, but I’m tryna reach da skreets
I’m rlly talking to da ones da feel da same as me

Cus I was once a slave to sin, it had me moving creep 
I tried to leave da game behind but I was in too deep
Dats y I popped dem pills so much, I tried to find some peace
Den Jesus came into my life one day and set me free, I’m thankful Fr 

Ion care wat dey say, dey think he fake, but Ik Jesus is real
He gave me life, so Ima praise his name as long as live
Dat water got deep, I almost sunk, I had to learn how to swim
Nie God be flooding me w dese blessings cus my focus is him 

[1kPhew] (Hook)

Jesus love me this I know for the Bible tells me so let’s go
Ion wanna hit no lick no mo but I did dirt on Panola rd
Ion wanna take no risk no mo when I throw my dice I slow my roll
I ain’t wanna make no play no mo when I got locked up by state patrol

Noooooo can’t sell my soul
Tell the devil no no no no
Pullin up on my demons tell em get low low low low
When it come to Jesus they know I’m gang gang gang gang

EP27 - Lost & Found

(Intro)
Tell me wat u waitin fo?
Da old me ain’t comin bak no mo
Gabbana

(Verse)
Let’s get bak to da basics,
I be takin my time w it cus u can’t rush greatness
Ppl say dat dey spiritual but rlly dey pagan
Ppl pray for a breakthrough, but dey be so impatient

All dat worry dey doin jus open doors for Satan 
U matured in ya faith, wen u comfortable waitin
Da God I serve took a virgin women and made her pregnant 
And I believe dat same God can change any situation

Came up from nun, thuggin, trappin out hotels
Whea I’m from, dey don’t have dreams, dey jus got dope to sale
Ran da streets w RJ and Nuk, we got it how we lived
Learned how to survive as a jit, I was kicked out da crib

Millions won’t change who I am, still eat noodles for dinner
Ghetto tendencies, but my light shinin brighter den Christmas
Erryday I read a book jus to strengthen my mental
Face card good on da block, my presence presidential 

It’s so many religions but Jesus I’m followin u
Spread da gospel thru da trenches, cus ppl deserve da truth
Jesus transformin da wicked, I’m seein his spirit move 
Took a bidness trip, had to sharpen sum of my tools

(Hook)
I was behind bars and caught da Holy Ghost 
My life is a testament for da ppl dat lost hope
Satan stole from me but Ima get it bak 10 fold
If u wanna see miracles happen u gotta get bold

I was behind bars and caught da Holy Ghost 
My life is a testament for da ppl dat lost hope
Satan stole from me but Ima get it bak 10 fold
If u wanna see miracles happen u gotta get bold

(Outro)
Tell me wat u waitin fo?
Runnin off on da plug, dats wat I use to do
Switched it up, showed da world, Gabbana not a fool
Found my purpose, in da Lord and I pray u do to

Tell me wat u waitin fo?
Dey don’t post me like dey use to, cus ppl don’t like da truth
Dey question God existence, jus look at my life as proof
U listenin to Holy Gabbana, Holy Flow 2

10/09/2023

Holy Flow 2

(Verse)
Gabbana called to reach, u got evangelist, u got ppl who called to preach
Showing love to dope heads cus I be in da trenches
Yk I’m from da streets, folk don’t relate to pastors, dats y I’m called to reach

My face is tatted up n I’ma man of God
A Florida boy w globs ya n I’ma man of God
Bra u can tell by dey fruit if dey rlly of God
U can wear a whole suit and still be a fraud 

Hol up ppl judge wrong, folk be thriving off hatred like all da love gone 
Envy blinds ppl judgment, but we know love don’t 
Matter fact bout to turn dis into a love song
Like I’m reading da Psalms of David

Dawg dis a new generation, da Holy Ghost innovating
Went from da butt of da stick to errybody inspiration 
Dey question if Jesus exist, my life is an indication 
When u put God first u overcome trials and tribulations

Look, dis a faith walk, u gotta have faith
All complaining is doing is just waisting away ya day
Sometimes u gotta jump in dat water to make sum shake 
Sometimes if u wanna grow u gotta be patient n wait

I was on da corner, now I’m in da church
Barely had I faith in God, now I put him first
I’m not a statistic I broke my family curse
I ain’t tryna sit back n watch, I’m tryna get to work 

Cus I’m called to reach

Called To Reach

Holy Gabbana - Called To Reach

(Verse)
I was in da streets living like a dog, all dem drugs in my system had me nodding off
It’s only 1 reason Gabbana standing tall, cus da Lord choosing to love me through all of my flaws

Listen, he a Christian rapper but his music raw
If I talk about it I done or it’s sum I saw 
Ion gain nun from capping, I speak da truth 
A reflection of my Father, born again, I’m as good as new

Looking at my old pics and videos, ion recognize myself 
I was so blind, couldn’t see dat I needed help
I been through enough but as long as I got breath
I’ma keep fighting until I got nun else left 

Cus without God, I’ll be buried in ashes 
Where I’m from it’s only 2 options, either jail or casket
I won’t be conformed by dis world dat I live in
I found freedom in Jesus, it feel good to say I’m forgiven, yea

(Hook)
I wear my scars, like a badge of honor 
Been shaped thru da fire, now I’m Holy Gabbana
I got saved and couldn’t stop crying, I had to clean my conscious
Now Jesus my pilot, low key I’m thanking Pontius  

Cus da death of my savior, gave me my freedom 
Jesus da only way to get in da kingdom 
Not ashamed of da gospel cus I believe, dat God sent his son to die on da cross for me, yea

(Verse)
I was all about a bag, my momma kicked me out da crib I had to grow up fast
Learned how to stand on my own feet, cus I ain’t have my dad
To show me how to maneuver, to teach me how to be a man

Ion blame him tho, his mind stuck in da streets
And if his dad wasn’t der for him, how he gon be der for me?
Had an encounter inside jail, back in 2019
I made a movie bout it, u can watch my life on a screen

Dis path is pressa, and ppl say dat God for da weak
Dey twist da truth, cus God for everybody who wanna be free
I’m tired everybody tryna tell me who dey want me to be 
I went from standing on da block, to following Jesus lead

I’m in schools and prisons, tryna create a vision
In my city giving back to da ppl collecting pennies 
Breaking bread w sinners, it feel like I’m feeding pigeons
I’m loved by da Father, I’m chosen and truly gifted
 
(Hook)
I wear my scars, like a badge of honor 
Been shaped thru da fire, now I’m Holy Gabbana
I got saved and couldn’t stop crying, I had to clean my conscious
Now Jesus my pilot, low key I’m thanking Pontius  

Cus da death of my savior, gave me my freedom 
Jesus da only way to get in da kingdom 
Not ashamed of da gospel cus I believe, dat God sent his son to die on da cross for me, yea

Badge of Honor

Holy Gabbana - Badge Of Honor

(Verse)
Lord I give u my all, yuon deserve nun less
I been purified goin thru a series of test
Use to take life for granted, but u never left me abandoned
As a adolescence my own momma even left me stranded

Slip thru da cracks, it’s been a journey but Lord u showed me u got my back n dats uncommon
Cus most ppl Ik unreliable if I’m honest, maybe dats da reason I struggle keeping a promise

Prolly get it from my daddy, but I’m tryna lose dem bad habits cus when other ppl see me, dey should see u
U lit up my life, like a lamp inside a room
Now I’m preparing for ya Kingdom dats coming soon

Tryna teach da kids, yuon gotta be a slave to sin just to do it big
Yuon gotta sell ya body as a way to get rich
U can live a good life serving God without multiple cribs
U almost der just trust ya breakthrough is ova dis hill 

(Hook)
Sin perverted our soul, Holy Spirit spark da flames and purify us like gold
Da world scared to proclaim His name, I’m da only one bold 
Dats y out of da many called, only a few ppl chose 

Look too many Christian’s worried bout a title
And not enough Christian’s reading dey Bible
Every new Christian should get discipled
It’s too many Christian’s living lukewarm creating idols yea

(Verse)
Dis one for my family in Christ, if u living Lukewarm, tighten up get it right
U don’t neva know when u gon take ya last breath
If u say u live for God bra don’t half step, step all da way

If u got da Holy Spirit den u got what it takes, too many Christian’s chilling at da crib playing it safe
Too many Christian’s walk by sight, we pose to be walking by faith
Instead of judging righteously, dey judge da tats on my face

What happened to da church? What happened to loving God and putting Jesus first?
U ppl rather be entertained, den lift up his name
Dis ain’t a game, Holy Spirit I give u permission spark up da flames

(Hook)
Sin perverted our soul, Holy Spirit spark da flames and purify us like gold
Da world scared to proclaim His name, I’m da only one bold 
Dats y out of da many called, only a few ppl chose 

Look too many Christian’s worried bout a title
And not enough Christian’s reading dey Bible
Every new Christian should get discipled
It’s too many Christian’s living lukewarm creating idols yea
