1st Verse
When will you  take the moment,  go and ask yourself, / what needs to happen in life for you to wake up / when you accept that you're ruined / and everything you pursuing / when you lose it / there's a piece of yourself your losing included / - always feeling - / like your never gonna get it / Many Times - / like you really wanna give in / throwing in the towel / because your mind is running wild / every-time you wanna breathe in  / it is never slowin down / (deep inhale/ exhale playaround)/ 
How in the world did we come to this / real life purgatory / mental isolation / people wanting freedom / feeling like it'll never reach em / feelin God is never present wit em / 'less He comes to  beat em / can't trust man / so nobody wanna follow / everybody wanna leader / but they rarely got a model / welcome to the world of oppression / the one you're neglectin / the one you need a sedative to make it  / 
Cuz we're led by emotion / and our fear shuts down / anything that's uncomfortable / keep fearin life unknown / always stayin unknown / to the possibilies on where ya life could could go / how you know what life's supposed to be / until you flip it reverse / you're never forward to see / 
I was just like you / always thinking I got it / until one too many crashes / I accept the re-routin / 
unto the King of Kings / and to the LORD of LORDS / while He  perfectly molded and seperated the earth / He established the skies / and He commanded all the water / be a border 'round the land / carries  beauty that's  astoundin  /  while given us a priveledge / to all of mankind / open ear to every heart / it's up to you to take the time /  gave his life to bridge the gap  / and gave us love that never dies / why we can't bow down in reverence in morning or our nights / 

2nd Verse
Like everything important / what'chu hold important / gon' need a breakdown^3 
everybody want a life we never had before / we all wanna break out^3 
while the devil got us caught up always chasin things / God wanna slow us down / rearrange our think -ing / reformat / defrag ya process / He will reboot your status / embedding His Divine Print /
Never seem to get it / cuz our time is money 
feel God has never paid you / so don't feel the need go pay Him / tell me  How you want Him /
Do you really want God / WELL He really want you / but you too inside yourself / you're fortified away from Truth / you know bones dried up / and you feel decayed inside / Well His Word's our Living Water / Lasts Millennial to now...  
all your pain / flowin in tears / .bottled in your hurt  / seem to drink for years / 
while you're never able / to just get away / thats why you await the day / that you'll lay in the grave / 
well I'm here to try to tell ya / that you been there all along /everything / that you feel / He had took it on the Cross / And He Resurrected allowing us to have a new day / new strength / new sight / new faith / NEW LIFE

Life's Reflections

04. Goin Down ft. J. Ale

Chorus:

I know this world is hard to take / you barely make it by / 
Everytime you wanna breathe / you feel the pressure weighing down
I've come tell ya / Hold on 
Babygirl now / Hold on 
I'm tryin to tell ya / hold on 
C'mon brotha / hold on 
You see the Bills are stacking up / and ya children wylin' out /
I know you you're tired of being lonely / been rejected all around / 
I've come to tell ya / Hold On
Babygirl now / Hold On 
I'm trying to tell ya / Hold On
C'mon brotha / Hold On 

1st Verse :
She-wakes-up-in the morning / early / lookin in the mirror / Hope today she finds approval / cuz it seems no one has cared / This been going on for years / ever since she was a young / insecurities are great / felt she always missing something / accepted as a fact / after nine-teen years / Gave her life unto her man / that had one day disappeared / went from bein shephard of his home / to now the sourcin of their doubt. / Went from spending time and loving them / to left em crying out / ( TELL MY WHY!!!)
With a pain that measures great / mix confusion with their tears / now the kids are made to suffer / and their momma left to stare / Cuz she's left with heartache / while he's dippin with his mistress / the fam gotta relocate / where to settle is a question / She's left to pinchin pennies / tryin to give her kids a life / while she wants someone to love her / see her soul through her eyes / She's has got a heart to love / will anybody treat her right?!? / Cuz she's tired of all the lies- / and the strugglin she knows.... 

Chorus

2nd Verse :
He-wakes up the morning / doesn't even stop to stare / cuz he knows the disappointment and depression that he bears / every morning getting lit / clearer mind when he's high /  he's always felt abandonment / a never purposed life / left a trail of broken hearts / tried sort through his confusions / many area codes / but still the same illusions / Life had never mattered / till the day he had his kid /  Now he wants to settle down / be a man he's never seen / humbled by the faith / but in a marriage that's abusive / grinding to the bone / still at home / feeling useless / all he's ever wantin / is a heart that he could feel / but she strung him out so long / without even being all in //so his kids are his passion / can't leave em in the passin / All he want is love / so do they /he ever-last it / maybe she'll come to love him / or lovin to release him / cuz all he wants is balance / someone to trust to lean on  / He knows...... 

Chorus

05. Hold On ft. J. Ale

1sr Verse
So many torn pages / I should've never wrote / now they burned into my heart / ain't no letting go / 
So many faces / their stories / I can't replace em / Their pain / I just embrace / I guess it's just in my making / but why 
I feel so hollow inside / and it don't matter the coping / because my home is in hopelessness / mind is fighting insecurities / I've always lived doubting / And now I'm lost in misdirection / left behind a disaster / 
Because I lived my life, but never with purpose / Made a good living in hurt and pain / but since my conception / a miracle baby / a problem child shoulda been the claim / From my head turn blue in that birth canal / to my life worn out / I'm cold and foul / what's the problem with me / Father what's the problem with me / 
All I ever wanted was peace. / But got numb in the process / I've gone thru life with all my loved ones at a distance / You hear me / I'm tired of pleading / I'm needing you / Father God I wanna be Closer to You 

Chorus
That's all I want in life is to, be closer to you 
That's all I need in life is to, be closer to you

2nd Verse
Words have proven thru life, to compromise reality / Think about your deepest pain that impacts the most. / You see emotions / start surfacing all the feelings / the mizery you've been keeping / from the pain left you depraved. / From the years you've spent in hate, / I know there's weight in the experience but words have kept you slaved. / Had you bound in a web of lies / and hopeless in perspective. Now you need to let Him breathe to your soul, that's been trying to draw Him, Closer to You

Choru
Bridge 
I want to have the faith to give up my heart / 
Learn who I am in Christ / I gotta learn to love / I gotta learn to trust / but most of all / gotta give my all / if I wanna be closer to you.

2nd verse ft. Stefan

You can whip it thru the AVE, / it don't matter what'cha state / cuz the urgency remains / yet we stall to ignorance. / so emotions all aside / you're not down / then skip this chapter / cuz you may be smilin' now / deep inside you're Robin Williams. (Rest in Peace)
Cuz this ain't no laughin matter / we maximizing our problems / insteada focus on the factors / able us to get it in / make a plan a get it crackin / but we interject our pride / now we livin so divided.
Civil War is rising / but we choosin to not know / we rather fabricate our lives / neglectin hearts are numb and cold / Now we scream for understanding / bottom line ya wantin hope / been delusioned by the devil / mad at God like it's His fault / C'mon
You're mad that God's a gentlemen / permits your heart's desire / and now you found that none amount to Him? (not yet?) / ----I told ya SIT BACK, this table talk, so listen / I'll help you FoC on the track.

[God is made up an army
Learn to stand on up – Salute
Many called but few are chosen
learn to stand on up – Salute
Cuz we've fallen in a web of lies
Accepted life we shouldn't have seen /
But knowing souls is on the line
stand on up - Salute ] 2x

Shhhh..... / -settle down for a minute / this more than music / this a tool to come and bang some perspective. / All in love / I may disagree with something you're hearing / that don't mean you can't receive it / just because you disbelieve me.
Faith is so much more than what religion's come to make it / we taint it here in the states / while other countries are beheading / anybody that's professin / proclaimin the Name of Jesus /while yall claimin that it's rhetoric / listen close / PROPHETIC /
Some argue that there's genocide, not knowing that it's christians, that are dyin in massive numbers / Don't believe me/ say it's fiction / look it up / do ya diligence / I pray it brings repentance / Cuz our time is winding down / I'm tryin to see you when it's finished.
Gospel's / Contrare / to our very nature / easier to go reject it / insteada allow the Faith it's makin / That's the pr-oo-f / look at anger and opposition we facing, we'll unite while we're in hatred but diss reconciliation / c'mon

Pain – one of my closest acquaintance / would never matter life's reflection / I would find it right next to me / takin me / faithfully the darkest parts of my mizery / left me there / want none around / and now its voices as company / Life can be a beautiful silence / but deep inside of / my soul's / a child / that's sick and tired of the crying / and wants to scream / to the top  my lungs / How many care / show me one /  Because I may be in the faith / but still battle depression / 
I used to cut my body / see if there's blood there to run / Felt like the pain I had inside of me / was killing me every minute / Every time I'm wanting love / it hardly had want me back / depression and abandonment / now my pain is stealth attack / But Father / I  thank You / for gift of faith / that's been given / Jesus thank You for Ya lashes that chose for receivin / to receive me / to greet me /in my darkest place of captivity.  / But it's times just like now / I'm in need for you hold me

We both want the same thing / searching for the comforting / Need to hear the song you sing /
In my life / These four walls that cage me / You're the one that has the key / need to hear you say to me / There's purpose in this pain



2nd Verse
You want me personal / much deeper than the surface / open heart / that's yearning the time / to spend wit'cha   / endlessly searching / Devoted / but even then / You had known we'll be lonely / so we've been blessed to have  a partner / share this life with / and keep rollin /  But Hold up -/ 
So many years spent together /  I caused a lot of pain /  and now there's children between us / Love cannot be a game / we both want it /  but feelin none from eachother / I try to learn of your grace and your mercy / but always fumble / I'm reflection of your change, but cannot change on she seeing me / she always say that she love me / I can't get close to see / we're supposed to mend together / yet I'm locked out of  her heart / never seem to get up passed it / How I the only one / That seems to see it / and only one that's been grieving / the only that's been bothered / by the seasons between us / I've been emptied from the pleading / loneliness is all that's left / heart's yearning for You Father / need Your Light up in my mess, please /

Sung by Nickie

1st Verse
I really want to bare my heart / I'm not afraid of it neither / cuz the pain I've been keeping / I know that someone's feeling / I'm talking about loneliness / no matter who's in the room. / Locked in a prison of self hatred / gots you losing you. 
But when I lost myself, I was too blind to see / but looking back, I see the scars I left my family / 
Was bad when mom and dad were hurt / but this my lil brother /  I left him crying / there alone, without  his older brother / 
Too busy chasing my passions, blinded by selfish ambition / my actions heavy impacted, but words were leaving trenches / I felt a curse, as a virus / too bad to have you 'round me / I left your tears to fill the trenches after the years of my absence. 
I know you said you forgive me / but still the pain is real / because the years between visits / just can't replace the years. / You were so young, and now you're grown / I'm proud of you. / I'm learning what it is to love, I had to share my heart with you. 

Chorus
All I ever wanted in life was to love, but I never knew where to find. 
I've blindly been chasing, got callused and abused. 
I'm broken for remolding by God
And now I have , L-O-V-E
Something that can hold me when there's no one around me
L-O-V-E
Something that consoles every damaged part of my soul 

2nd Verse
As a youngin' and struggling' with identity / longing for a father / the one who had a part in me / 
The one to answer the questions on why I  feel this madness. / The one they say that I resemble when I'm lost in havec /
The time I spent with you / I promise that I felt at peace / but you tor it from me / left me where no one should ever see. / I was 15 and you left me with a weight of guilt. Feeling if my mouth was shut, that maybe you'd be still here. 
I know you struggled with torment of your mind, but you left me with the torment it was me that cost your life. / It was me that brought that man, that you've tried to leave behind / that it was me that pulled that trigger when you laid be the bedside / 
and the tormenting screams I would hear at night for weeks / how my days were straight faced is amazing to me / I was so empty with confliction / agony had reigned inside of me / it's safer not to love me / I'm a hazard in entirety. But 

Chorus
Bridge 
My soul's been emptied / But You've given me a love that fills
And all my scarred up memories / You've given me a love that fills
I gave you my heart / I gave you my soul 
and You've given me love that I can't contain
I gave You my heart / I gave You my soul 
and You've given me a love that I can't explain

2nd verse:

We want our mountain top / but first we gotta walk thru the valleys / We gotta learn some endurance / build our character properly /Now time has passed / Let's not keep it forgotten / cuz when we wrapped inside ourselves / we've lost the spark of the party / now Everybody get united / U-N-I-T-Y / throw repentance at your burdens / give it up to Christ / It's enough to make all Heaven / stand in praise and rejoice / so it's enough to step into it / transform you and more. He's a love that's indescribable / entering all our vitals / changing your sense of being / revealing the life you needing / Relationships are all we wanting / but lacking the heart to keep em / He's the link / that we've been missin / holes in His hands / weave in / We're holding scars- / of broken trust  / and shattered love / But all along / He took em on His back for us / Be Lazarus / Go'on walk out your grave / Holla BACK / mannnn tell em Miah how we need Him

Anybody in a pit and ready to break out / Hold tight in life keep going Against the Grain x3
Against the Grain / Keep our lives going against the grain /

1st 8 = Beezy from 5-2-Ohh
2nd 8= Juju b Blessed from 5-2-0hh
3rd 8= Rill from 5-2-ohh
Last 8
Risin from the ashes like X-Men pheonix, 
Had to lose my mind, just so you can come and see this
Things that I bear, I ain't bear for myself
Put my heart upon the table just to help somebody else 
From 910 to the countdown city 
Now wit Five2Oh / ain't a division in between us.
When you think about your living, and then wonder bout the father,
See the road you start to follow, come to bringing you to Jesus
When the storms come back to back 
turn you sight to black 
Got to rock and roll
The thing about your battling, you gotta learn to battle it
Cuz if you wanna slack in it, you're already gone
Prayer be the phone (2x)
Go and call home (2x)
Peace of the Father help you ridin thru the zone
People will break you until you're blue in the face
turn around, hold Faith, keep it against the grain…..

This is for all the ridahz in life,
Who's life has only been known to survive
One's who's been held captive by oppression
Depressed beyond their own recognition. 
For the one's dying to live passed their life's reflections
And ready to shed off the weights of every hinderance
Love and life is all out war, so there's no room for games
And that's why we encourage, and that's why, we goin, goin, against the grain
