Emergency

Oh, its an emergency in here,
You got me locked up with your twisted fears,
And I was thinking that it might be time to let me go.
I was caught in night,
Trying to find a way to crawl towards the light,
You were holding on,
I was trying to tell you that nothing was wrong
Id like to just pick up the phone, Im calling out for help,
But I was frozen alone and I cant move myself,
And all that I have left is this broken heart,
Can anyone hear me through this dark?
Oh, its an emergency in here,
You got me locked up with your twisted fears,
And I was thinking that it might be time to let me go.
I was looking for,
The kind of love thats touch can never be ignored,
You, you were calling me,
But I was too blind and lost inside to see,
Id like to just leave it alone but its just way too close,
And I was pricked by the thorn when I picked up the rose,
And I wish I could say that I didnt know,
Can anyone help before I go?
Oh, its an emergency in here,
You got me locked up with your twisted fears,
And I was thinking that it might be time to let me go.

Freedom
02:50
|
|||
|
Dont try to shut me down,
Because Ive got to shout now,
Got to tell the whole world,
About this love Ive found now, found now.
They say time waits for no man,
I guess its true,
God help me compress complex consciousness,
Into two, verses,
And birth this, breathless,
Cos they all want the freshness,
Restless on the tip of their toes,
They dont get this,
But who can explain in flows the blessed,
King of kings,
Can me singing hymns,
Ever hope to illuminate Him,
When within lurks night,
Clouded eyesight,
Black enough to light, and ignite,
The smallest of sparks,
In the tallest of hearts,
Calling out freedom for those who walk around in the dark.
Dont try to shut me down,
Because Ive got to shout now,
Got to tell the whole world,
About this love Ive found now, found now.
Sometimes I feel like a man apart,
Like Im more then the sum of my parts,
My lips quiver, move quicker, words bigger,
Effortlessly effervescent, the trigger is love ever present in heart,
Express the, ability to spit spiritually, superior darts,
Joy like the trill of the skylark,
Who begins to sing cos he has no choice but to start,
Impart, life over strife and fickle arts,
And spark, mics with the shards of light in the dark,
Its our time to shine,
So replay this rhythm and hit rewind
Dont try to shut me down,
Because Ive got to shout now,
Got to tell the whole world,
About this love Ive found now, found now.

Sorry I Spoke

Sorry I Spoke
Oh no Im sorry I spoke,
I was just trying to give a little piece of hope,
You dangling from the end of the rope,
But no you dont care bout whether you choke,
See I aint trying to be obtuse,
When I hit you with these views,
But by the way your face just crumpled,
I just knew that you were through,
Theres something about the truth,
That just makes us come unglued,
Come apart at the seams it seems,
Like the truth had imprisoned you.
Oh no Im sorry I spoke,
I was just trying to give a little piece of hope,
You dangling from the end of the rope,
But no you dont care bout whether you choke,
See I aint trying to be off key,
But I move to a different beat,
If I didnt tell the truth to you,
Then how would you be free?
I know it took a miracle to save my soul,
But it first took a man to open his mouth,
To see the hole
Now kids gather round,
Got some profound sounds,
Formed for your earlobes from,
Nouns and pronouns,
Love for the captive found,
Where in the depths of the dark,
We ground our teeth together,
With clever endeavours we were bound,
But Christs love abounds,
In the crux of the crisis, some heard the sound,
Of singing in the background,
Left the ground to explore and came back down,
To try and explain, so dont pass the blame around,
Surround yourself by walls to confound,
The attempts of love to shake them down,
But realize I only speak cos,
I was lost but now am found.
Oh no Im sorry I spoke,
I was just trying to give a little piece of hope,
You dangling from the end of the rope,
But no you dont care bout whether you choke.

Nothing Out Loud
02:42
|
|||
|
Had to let this shout out,
So many people screaming,
But with so little to scream about,
And I aint one for running my mouth,
But you dont, dont dont get it,
Dont, dont dont get it right now,
Dont say nothing out loud,
Dumb it down and pose,
Cos God knows that makes the people proud,
And I aint one for shunning the crowd,
No you dont, dont get it,
Dont, dont get it right now
See she dont get it
And he dont get it,
And together theyre looking for love to repair it,
And I just hope they realize,
That the hope cant be found in each others eyes,
Were tied to this infatuation,
Trying to find a perfect soul mate but shaken,
Staking gold on vacant souls,
Who will stand back and let God take control?
Had to stop and just see, gotta breathe,
So little in between the seams,
That hold together the threads of you and me,
What ever happened to that perfect peace,
But you dont, dont get it,
Dont, dont, get it, I see,
You always were the perfect tease,
Dressed to the nines, passing time,
Looking for another quick squeeze,
And I played along, just to please
But you dont, dont get it,
Dont, dont, get it, I see,
See he dont get it,
And she dont get it,
But together theyre looking for love to just share it,
And I find myself lost for words,
Cheap charades, parade and scarcely deserve
Mention, cos real love is another dimension,
An ascension into the realm of the King,
Im just trying to find a decent rime to sing,
Something sublime enough for you to see Him

Sweet Heart
04:21
|
|||
|
Oh sweet heart, its like we seek darts,
Battered and bitter, bruised from the start,
This part makes the beats quicker,
But regaining the vigour remains a lost art,
Stained with pain the light strained through the dark,
To regain full life this shame must depart,
But it pains me to see you like this,
I cradle these shattered pieces, reminisce,
About the day that heaven scraped the ground,
What once was lost was now found,
Its all down, to loves love to dumbfound,
And tear of the gates to run wild through the compound,
Cos Id been keeping this heart locked,
Thrown away the key put my life in a box,
But joys song came along to rip down the blocks,
Of the wall Id been building in quotes to hard knocks
Its not, what you make of love,
Its what love makes of you,
That heart of yours is under supernatural siege
But the love of God
Is all I need.
Oh sweet heart, were poles apart,
Youre the cold wind blowing in clouds so dark,
Trying to smother me, destroy my recovery,
But Ill rub lyrics together to make a spark,
Its hard, to see the wood for the trees,
So I gathered branches and got to my knees,
Took the spark created by this musical art,
And fed it with the rest of me,
The fire grew until it consumed the trees,
Took this tombs gloom and fanned by a breeze,
Lit up the sky for the whole world to see,
Now they understand what its like to be free,
My heart took a leap, skipped a beat and moved on,
Had to just pause, catch his breath, cos too long,
Had been lost for this chance,
Scared to grasp in case it slipped through his palms,
That heart of yours is under supernatural siege
But the love of God
Is all I need.

The Light
03:25
|
|||
|
The light hung illuminated,
One glance and you'd made it,
The turmoil was still like wed slayed it,
Stayed hung like jewels as we waited,
With baited breath,
Mistakes, refaced and gold plated,
And yet there was no way to fake it,
The tarnish was gone,
Cleaned to a dazzling bright sheen,
I take it my dreams couldnt wait to make it,
It was on, I was ready to rush,
Stood on a hill top shouting in God I trust,
No earthly force could corrupt,
This armour plated soldier on a path to disrupt,
Interrupt enemy positions with a word of love,
The war was on but without flesh and blood,
Only weaponry was kisses and hugs,
Raining down artillery bombardments from above.
If you feeling lost in the dark,
Lets shed some light,
If you feeling weak in your heart,
Lets shed some light,
If you feel you cant go on,
Lets shed some light,
Let the weak say I am strong
The light dazzled then faded,
In comparison all else was jaded,
Left me grasping seeking to retain it,
Burned retinas sought the messenger to regain it,
At the same time my mind was seized,
With a euphoric need to expose what deceived,
Received the seed, and scattered it in the dust,
Perceived the need and shattered it within love,
Must I, always see with my eyes,
I trusted them too long and was left with pride,
The light stripped my disguise,
Left me naked with nowhere left to hide,
But the sound of your voice made my teardrops dry,
Golden whispers, restored the dye,
Washed out in roundabout lies,
And recycled cycles of downs and highs.
If you feeling lost in the dark,
Lets shed some light,
If you feeling weak in your heart,
Lets shed some light,
If you feel you cant go on,
Lets shed some light,
Let the weak say I am strong
abide.n
Any unswept corners of our lives
can be derelict
Sometimes the problem's obvious
just staring at it
Can't quite see in the shade
unaware of it,
there's no grey area in the light
so prepare for it
Sharing it, spreading it out
It's heartfelt when the dark
melts from exposure
to these sheddings
closer we're getting, letting us see
what's embedding
festering our further advancement
of enhancementof the light
where it's dim it all starts from within
like a lunar eclipse in reverse motion
I'm coasting off the compassion of Christ
Slice through with these torches of light
Cord our cordless mics
cant afford to hoard the price that was paid
so all morbid cockroach bites get displayed
and revealed in His eternal reflection lets get
healed now from this internal projection
If you feeling lost in the dark,
Lets shed some light,
If you feeling weak in your heart,
Lets shed some light,
If you feel you cant go on,
Lets shed some light,
Let the weak say I am strong

One and Two
04:48
|

|
It goes One, one, one a one two.
Baby baby cant you see
One plus two equals three
Baby baby let me know
Oh oh its time to go
This little light of mine,
Im gonna let it shine, for the whole world to see,
They want me to dumb it down, find a new sound
But the beauty of the truth is simplicity,
One plus one has always equaled two,
No matter how you try to make it three,
And love has always cured my fear,
Faith is what it takes to make us free,
No matter how you try to laugh at me,
Fool cant you see the end is near?
It goes One, one, one a one two.
Baby baby cant you see
One plus two equals three
Baby baby let me know
Oh oh its time to go
Whats the point boy?
Whats the point girl?
Of making life so complicated,
Dont waste time blurring the lines,
It was all in your mind,
And now you know you shouldnt have waited, cos,
Cos this life aint dont yet,
So make sure you dont fake it,
Cos time aint hard to regret,
So how you gonna retake it?
You misplaced it, cant replace it,
Cant stand to face it,
And being a good girl aint never been enough to make it.
It goes One, one, one a one two.
Baby baby cant you see
One plus two equals three
Baby baby let me know
Oh oh its time to go
Its simple mathematics,
Any which way you try to add it,
Subtract it, divide it,
Buy with it, die with it,
Have no fear,
Love is the currency accepted here,
The mere, mention of His name,
Is the cure for pain,
I know you tired of the same,
Looking round for someone to blame,
Shaking your fist at the rain,
Like mere words the elements could tame,
Im insane, I hear you say,
As you try to label day night and night day,
Reduce truth to an idiot, proof shade of grey,
And tell me that I got it twisted,
You missed it, the profound irony,
Inspiring me, to try to keep it simplistic,
Lets fix it, grace was designed to be holistic,
Cant just dip your toes,
And pretend like you missed it.
It goes One, one, one a one two.
Baby baby cant you see
One plus two equals three
Baby baby let me know
Oh oh its time to go

Forget Me Not
04:05
|

|
I lost my way again,
You said hold my hand,
I will take you to the stars and back again,
The petals drop, the flower fades,
The clock keeps time, tick tock, you played,
Tick tock the hands move round and you stayed,
Anchored in the same spot, dropped where you laid,
Now I aint trying to tell you the why or the how,
Its always been beyond me to figure it out,
I just know that time is of the essence,
I cant give you a three point plan but I can point out the blessings,
We are like the flowers that fade,
The blades of grass that wither in the heat of the day,
You may stay another day or maybe not,
Delay here astray but I pray love forgets you not..
I remember when I met him with his promise of peace
I wanted to be great but he was blessing the least
Remember Him.
Im sending you forget me nots,
To help you to remember,
That this love will never stop,
I want you to remember.
I lost my way again,
You said hold my hand,
I will take you to the stars and back again,
So let us love like it was our last chance to love,
Dance like there was no tomorrow,
I promised to hold you close,
Always and forever but the truth is hard to swallow,
I find it easier to just be hollow,
Then to exist in a state of amazing grace,
Cos true love is hard to follow,
It takes change to keep up with the blazing pace,
But your love is sweeter, your love is deeper,
It calls me home and whispers beneath the,
Noise, with a voice that calls me to stop,
Reaching across the void to whisper forget me not
I remember when I met him with his promise of peace
I wanted to be great but he was blessing the least
Remember Him.
Im sending you forget me nots,
To help you to remember,
That this love will never stop,
I want you to remember.

Weak Become Heroes.
Feeling like superman,
A kid with a cape and a helping hand,
More then just a man,
Cos I demand a plan to stand,
So fight the good fight,
I could shoulda made more of the light,
But I was a little to busy feeling,
Dealing with fear in the night,
To poke my head from behind this mic,
And right wrongs, to take flight,
With my superpowers,
I was strong but was a wilting flower,
When I should have been the tallest of towers,
But this hour the weak become heroes,
Making tens out of zeroes, I will fear no,
Evil, my people,
Sow slow seeds, to achieve deeds that have no equal.
Inside of your arms
The weak become heroes
Heroes
Im just flesh and bone,
Attached at the wrist to this microphone,
Left earth when I stepped in the zone,
New spaces unearthed as I roam,
Let it be known,
A heros digging in the dirt to find the oasis,
To own, riches far beyond what hed known
Smeared with tears cos fears were sown,
But not reaped, cos love came to seek,
The child lost in the dark playing hide and seek,
Brought the key for the heart that was locked in the keep,
In side of a castle, surrounded by deep, waters,
sleep seemed to numb
All his sons and daughters,
But love makes a loud sound,
To pound down borders,
Joy found down at close quarters
Inside of your arms
The weak become heroes
Heroes
Surround me now
Break me down
I need your love
I need it now

Love
04:00
|

|
Always wanted to write a love song,
But the words they wont come out right,
Cos how can you describe something so strong,
That it makes my soul take flight,
See this is way stronger then the bonds that bind us,
Strong enough to bridge the desires that divide us,
Gentle enough to rebuild a shattered heart,
And strong enough to reignite the spark
This is love,
You cant cant you cant breathe
And I cant really see
This is love
What will save you
From what you were
and what you chose to be
See man you got the whole thing twisted,
Put the art before the heart, the gift before the gifted,
And I was just thinking along the same avenues,
Perused views, form a view thats tinted,
But pull the glass away and glimpse it,
True love is ugly enough to leave you winded,
Yet the beauty is more then mortals can take,
Mere morsels are all this mind can stake, then it breaks,
Sifted with misted eyes we are just dirt that shakes,
As the earth sighs beneath the weight,
I take heart that love sees me as more then this,
Enough to be laid betrayed, by a kiss,
Inside of a tomb for three days,
Then raised to brave the abyss,
Lifted and the whole universe shifted,
Sweet harmony of a soul that was sifted,
To find the gold that shines like a new dime minted.
This is love,
You cant cant you cant breathe
And I cant really see
This is love
What will save you
From what you were
and what you chose to be
See love aint a game,
It aint a point of view,
Its the only cure for my pain,
Gave me a whole new attitude
I gotta bring it back
Bring it back to you

Grace
01:07
|

|
Its truly the simple things that bring me rest,
Holding her small hand,
Has a way of lifting the tension of my chest,
Im blessed by her very existence,
Its not easy but when I sit down and listen,
Her tales are from another world,
The smallest things become adventures to unfurl,
A girl lost in the vastness of life,
Each discovery a chance for delight,
Where I see night, she sees light,
Got me thinking of changing perspectives,
To become like a child is the objective,
Because Ive been lost in the drama before,
As time ticks battle scars grow raw,
And its left me wanting more,
So can you open up the door to your life,
Praying God will teach me how see with your sight,
Cos Grace doesnt judge she just forgives the fight,
So to walk with her is like a walk in the light.

Unseen
04:27
|

|
Her face twisted by coldest chance,
Aged beyond her years, selling perverse romance,
A victim of circumstance,
But she stood here arms open, a token, in advance,
Knowing the likeliest outcome,
So she plants her feet to face the wrath of Adams son ,
Thinking no king would pay her ransom,
Face once handsome, ravaged by,
The storms of lives harassment,
Seen in passing glimpses of loveless passion,
Each encounter with strangers,
Left another piece of her soul blackened,
Lacking the words to express captions,
Her life steered by the cruelest of captains,
Flattened heart, torn apart, pimped,
Her only worth a dollar mark, the stink,
Of sweat, mingled with the pain of her loss,
Couldnt ever hope to be cleaned out in the wash
The real cost priceless,
But who could pay the price to right this,
The one in whos image she was made in likeness?
Trust me girl, the hope of the world
Is God came to save the sinner not the righteous.
Can I make you see the unseen things inside of me?
The unseen things that you cannot see,
The unseen things that can set you free
Her eyes grey, holes in a white skull,
Skin stretched taught, lips dull,
Face collapses with each sigh,
Drawn into itself as life waits to die,
Silence, except for the sound of the clock,
That ticks in her head and refuses to stop,
Only one visitor whose tears drop,
In tired rivers that whisper forget me not,
No sign of the man who had promised the world,
Her fingers clench as she thinks of the girl,
Destroyed by a lie, sold till the pearl,
Had lost its shine, bought and then hurled,
Curled in a corner as the blows rained down,
Froze in her memory as slow pained sound,
Low stained ground, and cries of stay down,
Tears in the dirt but the hurt was way down,
So she waits, for the final abyss,
Not knowing the truth of lips that kiss,
Withered cheeks with a love that she missed,
Or hands that hold on to hers in the surest of grips,
With this, one aim love died as a witness,
And took all this pain in return for forgiveness,
Trust me girl, the hope of the world,
Is that God came to save the poor and afflicted.
Can I make you see the unseen things inside of me?
The unseen things that you cannot see,
The unseen things that can set you free

Memory Lane
03:45

Take a trip down memory lane,
Looking back nothing can be the same,
For you and I,
So much water under the bridge,
So many secrets we hid,
Now all in the light,
And dont it feel good to know,
This love was more than just show,
It was real..
It makes me smile,
To think about those days gone by,
Havent been here in a while,
But I always enjoy coming by,
Cos I remember you,
You were hidden in the curve of the moon,
You laughed, filled with joy,
Took my hand and taught me how to sing your tune.
Take a trip down memory lane,
Looking back nothing can be the same,
For you and I,
So much water under the bridge,
So many secrets we hid,
Now all in the light,
And dont it feel good to know,
This love was more than just show,
It was real..
Thinly disguised, veiled behind shaded eyes,
I was just seeking a touch to fly,
Trying to speak at the same time as moving my feet,
You're sweet but didnt know why,
Cries, crumpled smiles, and white lies,
Rumpled up shirts, dirty shoes and frayed ties,
I was trying my best to keep with the rest,
But got left to the side out of breath, I
Was just another kid knocking round London town,
Lost in the crowds trying to find my own sound,
Bound as outsider always,
Cos I just knew there was more to my day,
Didnt know it yet but I had something to say,
Didnt know your breath, yet you were watching my way,
Finding my voice seemed to take me an age,
Had to rewind so that you could press play.
Take a trip down memory lane,
Looking back nothing can be the same,
For you and I,
So much water under the bridge,
So many secrets we hid,
Now all in the light,
And dont it feel good to know,
This love was more than just show,
It was real..
Come on come on
Take a trip with me.

Peel It Back
03:26
|
|||
|
Lets peel it back,
Beneath the surface the core is cracked,
Love makes up for what life lacks,
But strife wakes up for what bites back,
Ive been cocooned in this tomb for too long,
Trying to lie to myself but its too wrong,
Bit my tongue until the blood was gone,
But now I cant hold it back, the pains too strong,
The wars on, but theres no soldiers left,
Were too busy trying to catch some good press,
Ten minutes of fame, twenty if you undress,
Got me frantic still looking for my souls rest,
Process to wholeness, takes an age,
Wish I could turn the world on a new page,
But your tears have rained for days,
So its time to step out and let the fire blaze.
The outside is misleading
The surface appearance can be deceiving,
Im receiving a brand new heart,
Its inside the man where the change has got to start
Lets peel it back,
Beneath the surface the core is cracked,
Love makes up for what life lacks,
But strife wakes up for what bites back,
I lack the words to express this sorrow,
All they can say is the sun will shine tomorrow,
But for most these words sound so hollow,
The night stretches on with no light to follow,
Swallow hard cos the pain is not passing,
In a tailspin but around me theyre laughing,
Cried at callous words spat out in gasping,
Breaths, reached into my chest, grasping
My heart in two bloodied hands,
Restored its beat and made me tick to your plan,
Rose to face the wolves in a last stand,
And bit back to shine a light in the land.
RICHY D
And you know every strand, and follicle on my head cos you're the creator and you're methodical,
So take me back just like the prodigal, the fact youve adopted me and made me an heir is not logical,
Peel back the layers like a surgeon in a hospital, there's toxins that need to be removed they're combustible,
I wanna see how you see, change my opticals,
Without the need of man made lens like monocles,
Insert the desire for your wisdom extract the taste for consumerism,
Im living in this man made prison, but wanna escape and be released from this carnal condition,
I'd like the permission, for you to be my dietician, so I ingest what I need for the mission,
Relite my fire like motor ignition.. I wanna go at full speed with all pistons
The outside is misleading,
The surface appearance can be deceiving,
Im receiving a brand new heart,
Its inside the man where the change has got to start
