I never knew a love like, a love like this here/ I ran from it for years until he opened up my heart and made it clear/ so listen hear/ ladies and gentlemen, life if but a vapor then it disappears/ one day your livin then the end is here/ we all knowing that the end is near/ it’s what you believe that determines if you clear/ it’s your eternity/ that’s concerning me/ that’s why we came to preach the word with urgency/ its and emergency/ cause many men go and try to reach em in their own way/ thinking if the good outweighs the bad then they okay/ they work hard not to sin day to day/ but when you sin, what are you relying in to take your sin away/ were born sinners/ from January to December/ it’s not your actions, it’s the heart that’s in ya/ our heart is frozen like the hardest winter/ and dead/ so how can new life enter apart from a Devine interventer?/ but don’t fret/ God so loved the world that He sent His own Son to pay sins debt/ He gave it all/ by bearing in His body all the worlds sin/ while the father poured His wrath on Him/ just like a water fall/ it leaves your boy in awe when I think of all that He did to redeem us from the fall/ He lived a perfect life that we could never live/ and when we try it’s like thinking a sedative can cure us from the life that we inherited/ what an embarrassment and a slap to God’s face/ to think that we could live apart from God’s grace/ so tell me, where can you go to get up out of God’s space?/ cause even if your runnin you can never flea God’s face/ we’re in desperate need of God’s grace.

Lord willing I can make this music thing my profession/ Instead of spending time to write a rhyme, I’m finding time in between another session./ To sit back, hear His word and take it all in./ Praying when my mind goes blank, His message falls in./ Cause where would I be? Out there on the streets committing violence./ The foolish men perish to the ignorance of guidance./ And I’m on His timing./ So please don’t give me credit for these words, it is truly Him that rhyming./ It’s truly Him that shining./ No word play, but if I’m searching for the right meaning, I’ma put it in the worst way!/ Cause it isn’t truth./ So if these words aren’t Him, It’ll never take root, in the../ Soul of an artist who appreciates the art of another MC who strictly does this from the heart but gives his glory back to God!/ Can you feel me.? - - (PAUSE) - - So is it too much to ask for all the times I done suffered./ To get me out of this place, I need time to recover./ Lost in the word cause He wrote it as a lover./ So I’m falling intimate with more things that I discover./ “uh”/ A deep passion to grow with my father./ So don’t take it personal if I don’t come around or bother./ “no more”/ It’s just for the time being./ I need to make sure that my verses are in line with His teachings./ So I, I get up on the grind./ I study all the time./ Cause if you read my mind, you wouldn’t really think it’s mine!/ See I’m the chief of sinners, I’m trying to perfect./ The Christian in me so it’s Him that I reflect./ Windex, He gone see right through me now./ And I don’t need steelo cause He is my style!./ “yeah”/ I’m trying to put in what I’m worth./ Till my last day on earth, I’m put in His work./ “like, yeah”/ I’ma put in His work like..,/ “yeah, yeah uh.”/ So on my last day on earth, I’ma put in His work like../

There was no method to the madness/ or so I thought/ the method was filling up a vessel full of sadness till it/ topped off and over flowed/ now I’m bout to explode/ from all this crap I’m taking like a commode, ya feel me/ so I hardened my heart to those who could tear it apart/ people…I only trust myself, there’s no one equal/ (clears throat) ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my sequel/ where I portray a boy in this movie we call deceitful/ my intentions were never lethal/ but in the process of being selfish, I’m hurting people/ am I being evil?/ cause I see those effects popping out like pecs after juice and needles/ eh, it’s in my head like a placebo/ I never stick around to see the full effect/ I hit eject/ and let em watch my trails in the sky like a jet/ I’ve gone crazy running how ya’ll made me/ portraying the man of a thousand faces like Lon Chaney, who gone tame me?/ I spoke too soon/ the man behind the mask, like MF Doom, got exposed and all my sins were in view/ this one dark night like Gotham/ when I hit rock bottom/ gottem!/ my world was burning down like Sodom and Gomorrah/ that day I met the God of the Torah through Revelation/ who took on flesh and died for the sins of the nations/ He said, truly truly, your sins were unto me, believe in me and your receive forgiveness through me/ and God opened up my heart to respond to the truth/ and I believed and now I see that I was running from you/ yea!
Tony Montana -
I’m gone, I’m gone./ Hope you’re forgetting me after this song./ Aint worried bout my problems and never gotta solve ‘em./ And that’s the only way I move on./
Y. O. U (you!) couldn’t tame my pride./ I’m turning my back, putting others aside./ These dreams are way too important to be wasting my time./ Hit the booth with no intention to leave you inspired./ Make a killing off of these rhymes./ Until the life of a man slipped quickly away in my hands./ Those tears really didn’t understand the plan./ That you were doing as I was pursing these false solutions./ Money, drugs, and music mixed all into confusion./ “I was losing my mind!”./ Lost from all of the above./ Head to toe I felt numb to this so called love./ Till my Quest came to a end like ’98, He set me straight./ The way he portrayed the beauty through the night sky that was displayed./ How could I not place my faith?/ The way He held me by His grace while I was running in place./ I keep running! “Yeah I keep running.”

A. 1ST VERSE: JAKE
It’s like I was a living drone/ willingly doing what I’m a slave to/ cause even my good deeds weren’t in proper display to/ God who used me as a vessel displaying His grace through/ and then I steal His glory like the grace was mine I gave you/ yo I’m fronting like I’m Able with an offering like Cain/ in a drought in need of rain/ and when it came I proclaimed that/ (scratch: I can’t stand the rain) cause looking out from my visions grim yo/ truth be told there’s no one righteous/ looking at our lives just confirms no one is like this/ nah no one is righteous/ there’s none who understand or seek/ for God but yo how can this be/ when God has stamped His name on all creation in the galaxy/ at the fall sin effected all of humanity/ we’re weighed down by our sins and we intend to fight gravity/ we’ll never merit favor with a spirit empty cavity/ we’d all reject the gift if left to us in our depravity
HOOK:
GIRL: show me love
JAKE: cause my heart aches and all I ever get for my trouble is heart break
GIRL: he’s got his hand on the button of
JAKE: my heart and he(the devil) will never let go. No matter how hard I try this world won’t free my soul
GIRL: show enough
JAKE: of my need for You and soften this hard heart to let the light seep through
BRIDGE
JAKE: I didn’t choose you LORD cause that would never be/ my heart would still deny you had you not chosen me. X4
B. 2nd VERS: JAKE
Forgive my imagery/ but every time I speak on the atonement I get chocked up by the blood like I’m hemorrhaging/ cause on the cross it was Him or me/ and aint no way im trusting in my self-righteous inability/ ever since I was born I have been deceived/ I am Adams seed/ and I am so in need/ cause I inherited a debt but couldn’t pay the fee/ this penalty will be the death of me if left to me/ man, sin/ it really made a mess of me/ I thought it was the only thing willing to invest in me/ lies!/ it had me going down my own path/ unsatisfied and roaming through the desert like a nomad/ no one man has all that power/ to atone for his sin in a matter of hours/ unless he’s fully man and fully deity/ but I am not I AM, I am in debt for the sin in me.
2nd HOOK
GIRL: show me love
JAKE: cause my heart aches and all I ever get for my trouble is heart break
GIRL: he’s got his hand on the button of
JAKE: my heart and he(the devil) will never let go. BUT CHRIST, HE CAME DOWN AND HE FREED MY SOUL
GIRL: show enough
JAKE: of my need for You, CAUSE EVERY DAY THIS OLD ME’S TRYING TO SEEP ON THROUGH
C. 3rd VERSE: JAKE
Sometimes the frustrations setting in/ and I’m letting in/ thoughts that remind me of my past like a letterman/ and though I’m dead to them/ I let em run like reverend/ cause these emotions banging on my brain like let me in/ this old heart of me/ longs to be a part of me/ and lobbies me to be my main focus like cardiology/ so when the world pressing all on me/ I gotta ask myself/ Jacob! Are you gone live out your theology?/ well is it all on me?/ nah the wild olive tree was grafted in when they rejected Him/ not heading prophesy/ He wasn’t who they thought he’d be/ and now we see Messiah pierced to a tree/ He died to pay the fee/ there’s no analogy!/ and He resurrected/ and when you believed/ Jesus gave you His Spirit and said, “follow me”/ I gave you all you need/ to grow in grace and knowledge/ and live in obedience even unto death like me/ and now the paraclete (Holy Spirit) enables me to speak praises to my king/ even when I caged in like a parakeet/ so when the worlds screaming let me in/ I gotta choose obedience and bring forth that light like Edison/ the best medicine is killing indwelling sin/ that brings heavenly reverence and keeps us in tune with Him/ the most high/ but most guys rely on they self/ their pride and their wealth/ I tried it and realized in myself/ was my the inability to walk upon the water/ so Spirit take me deeper than my feet could every wander/ supply me with the strength to keep on pressing like I oughtta/ in the presence of my savior, yo my faith is made stronger/ now I spit it for His glory over beats but not before He told me/ open up your mouth and eat this scroll so you could know me/ get it out, dig it out and live it right before me/ now I’m living Coram Deo (in the presence of God) for His honor and His glory.

On My Way Up

Tony Montana -
(V. 1) Never thought I’d be in this position that you can find me in./ Represent a higher place but working for the lobby men./ Cause I wasn’t predestined and chosen for self boasting man./ It was graciously given for the benefit of saving other lonely men./ So break ‘em in, and show them life./ Oh you scared of death? But He lived twice./ Cause He overcame, when He took that pain./ For the sinners of this world, such amazing grace!
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)
(V. 2) So I’m screaming out “mercy, mercy”/ I’m so imperfect./ I’m so unworthy, such a sinful person./ How could you choose me? How could you love me?/ Show me compassion, when you could just judge me./ Look at my past and tell me if I was different./ From any other man, nor women or even children./ He opened up my eyes, gave me meaning and provision./ spread the love that He gave, teach repentance and forgiveness, like../
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)
(BRIDGE) I haven’t been the same since the day He came./ Yeah I haven’t been the same since the day He came./ I haven’t loved the same since the day He came./ Yeah I haven’t loved the same since the day He came./
I said I’ll ride for my King/ I’ll die for my King/ Spend every single night trying to fight for the King/ Do what’s right for the King, In sight of my King/ uh oh! Till the day that I go! (x2) …
(HOOK) I’m on my way up! You can’t bring me down./ I can’t Him enough, I didn’t earn this crown./ I didn’t earn this now, nah I didn’t earn this crown./ Christ came and died, so I can live now. (x2)

It Is Well With My Soul

Tony Montana -
“Ahh” So refreshing./ When I let go of all the stressing./ See I’m no longer a slave, to the sin engraved, on the grave where I came, and yet to rest in./ But I never thought It’d be this hard./ When I’m trapped in emotions that can sway my thoughts./ That can pave the way, as the only way,/ To make that decision and lead astray./ But what I earned by grace is a testimony./ To leave to this world, who’s death is lonely./ So, I remain by faith to stand in the will of His word that brings Him glory, cause./ What, what good am I?/ If, if I fall to pressure of the daily life, to the daily grins, to the daily test, and to the daily sin?/ Cause the sun goes, and the rain comes./ And the tears fall when a life’s done./ So how to react?/ A fall to depression or keeping steadfast and rooted in scripture./ Cause He remains faithful, even when I find myself being faithless./ Yeah, He remains faithful, even when I’m in the crucible screaming “God I can’t take this.”/ When the time is heavy, another day of shredding./ every bit of old me, until the time is ready./ For me to take the step, for me to take the leap./ For me to be the Christ figure for those in need./ I gotta humble myself and kill my pride./ Take every ounce of self pity from my life./ Give it over to the God who can heal the soul./ Now it is well with mine, and He can help with yours.
Jacob Emmanuel -
Everybody sees pain from dark nights/ that come crashing in from the waves of life, but/ flip the track back to the fall so you that where the pain starts at/ the pain starts at the fall/ where broken relationships left a scar/ sin effected all from/ man to earth, man to animals, man to man, and man to God/ and if sin resides in this world and it effects everything I see right now/ please someone come tell me/ how you expect me to live my best life now!/ if I don’t prosper does that mean that I don’t have faith?/ wait/ if I get sick right now (right now?) does that mean that I fell from His grace?/ this side of heaven aint a life of ease/ you’ll get shipped wrecked thinking you can fight the sea/ there’s only one thing true and its plain to see/ it’s only Christ Jesus that can anchor me/ and He remains to be/ my strength when I face the sea of tough times and adversity/ but if I stop living for Him/ ill rot living in sin/ and that could be the death of me but/ one day sin will be done with/ new heaven, new earth all perfect/ till then we live in worship/ to the one true king who’s worth it/ and that’s hope for the soul/ when I’m losing control/ taking blow after blow/ in a world full of woe/ I can cling to the hope set before me and say it is well with my soul!
