Stick up dudes got a glock and a mask /
Run up on you and make you give it up like you stopping a task /
Damn, yeah, look what this land done /

Yeah, opps try to test me /
But The LORD bless me /
This is a land where they program man to draw quickly /
Yeah, everybody starving so to eat they gon kill for it /
Everybody hurting for every pain there’s a pill for it /
Round here money is messiah so they kneel for it /
For some the act of murder gets them higher than a billboard /
Talk bout the best, aim for the chest and above /
They put you on a mission, you put in work and it’s love /
The moment you causing friction that’s when they get you touched /
I hope you listen, too many of us returning to the dust /
It’s a cycle it’s always been a cycle /
But now we give the cycles titles and make em our rivals /
I watched dedicated killas still pray for survival /
They live by the code of the streets in place of the bible /

Women Fallin for False Love from Guys Over White Wine /

If Only You Could See What Happened to My Old Girl /
Damn, It's a Cold World /
If Only You Could See.... /
Ayo Forget It, See My Mind Drifts but I Can't Dwell on the Past /

I Guess Shortie Sold Her Soul Quick Once She Fell for the Cash /
She Had Status Where You Couldn't Wait to Tell If You Smashed /

So Many Issues, Its Hurtin my Head /
My Homies Told me There's Something They Gotta Share wit Me /
"No Disrespect, GOD don't Care for Me" /
"Take a Look at my Life, GOD ain't Fair to Me?" /
"I'm Prepared to Squeeze" /
Bearing (Bare) Arms like Wearing Tees
/
"Are you Hearin Me?" /
"And Why the Church Gotta Stare to See" /
"What my Erorrs be?" /
"A Bunch of Hypocrites who don't know GOD like the Pharisees" /
"Even I can tell that they Preach Heresy" /
It Embarrassed Me /
So in my Prayer I Plea /
"LORD, be There for em all like you There for Me" /
I Write it Down, Spit it to the Air and Leave /
Then Put it on a Track like Hair and Weave . . . /

Verse WuN
Yo, Writing this wasn’t eazy /
This is for my nigga D.P. /
We would often chill, play music, watch TV /
You know how we be /
I said I wanna be you, you wanna be me /
Same Jerseys, Toronto Raptors - VC /
But now you feel funny when see me /
I miss you nigga so at times to hear your voice I play your songs on our CD /
Word, Look, you was my best friend /
Remember the chicks we had up in the west end? /
Uh, yeah, she found her treasure /
Plus, she would always make the mission down for pleasure /
Eazy pimp, aha, fix ya collar /
Remember the older chicks would holla? /
Started flirting like “who is you?” /
“If ya’ll was a lil older I be booing you” /
“You couldn’t handle what I do to you” /
We left smirking and amp /
This the time we was working at camp /
Serving the kids while earning paper /
I went by Young WuN you was Terminator /
And them young boys and girls, they thought highly of us /
Bro, they really loved us /
They view us as the funnest fathers /
And we viewed them all as sons and daughters /
Then tragedy fell when shots rung out and your older brother died /
You stood strong every time your mother cried /
The block felt naked and dim /
How many times after did you get mistaken for him huh? /
Splitting pizza he liked in his memory /
Reminiscing saying things like “remember he” /
We pouring a beer can or a rum, it’s sad knowing that the man he’ll become, we will never see /
No doubt we would ball our eyes /
Remember he said “sometimes you gotta fall to rise?” /
I miss moms, your two nephews - all you guys /
If I hurt you, I apologize /
Hook
Will It Ever be the Same? /
We Came Up Together In the Game /
On a Mission for the Cheddar and the Fame /

Verse Two
Yeah, the streets is talking, requesting my view /
Rip and I go back further than the rest of the crew /
You was nice at ball but at your best when you drew /
This before 50 Cent rocked a vest and he blew /
Cops pulling us over for how we dress and our hue /
I use to think if I ever had a blessing it’s you /
On the block blowing hydro and sess in the blue (sky)
Possessing a brew /
Getting twisted, we ingesting a few /
You called recently, upset, on a quest to pursue /
Something you described being on your chest and it grew /
“Ima address it wit you” /
“why you taking Bang Em’s side” - suggesting it’s true /
I replied “you making false claims” like police when they questioning you /
If there’s issues let’s talk, assess and renew /
You was down but later send text messages thru /
Like “appreciate you trying but I ain’t messing wit you” /
I was hurt and I was stressing it too /
But I tried so I’m over it, it’s something I ain’t wrestling thru /
Nahh, so what happened? We dismembered and split ways /
But I choose to remember the lit days /
Houses on the beaches we dreamed /
When we played ball the girls in the bleachers would scream /
Remember grade 5 when we left the teachers in steam? /
Cuz we did our school dance to peaches and cream? /
You was ill wit the crip walk /
And you had skill wit the slick talk /
This before we was marked teens /
Grade 6 grad you and I rocked a button up and some dark jeans /
Inspired by the older niggaz that would stunt in a drop /
We older now on a hunt for the gwop /
Putting change together to get a blunt from the shop /
Drunk downtown on New Years and you pissed in front of a cop /
Us going to different high schools bred fears /
Samuel Hearne in front of everyone I shed tears /
Nigga this is all from the Heart /
Honestly, this is where it started falling apart /
Yet I’m inspired by your drive god /
Congrats on Team Canada and the Raptors 905 Squad /
we ain’t speaking - ignoring what may be /
Yeah you lost one like Lauren and Jay-Z /

Intro
It seems like everyone out there is tryna be somebody else or putting on a front and being something they not. GOD created you wit a specific purpose and that’s the best thing you can be. Authentically you.
A cry for help.
Verse WuN - Thumpz416ix
I’m Feeling Defeated, I’m Imprisoned and Distant, it’s a Lonely Sight /
Looking for the Good but there Isn’t, Its Only Plight /
I’m not the Phony Type /
Burdened by my Struggles and my Homies Fight /
Yeah, Life is Colder than a Snowy Night /
Look, I’m Tryna Progress but my Dough be Light /
LORD Hold me Tight /
I Cried to Belong, Christ Died for my Wrongs to Show me Right /
Y’all Wouldn’t Believe what the Old me Like /
It Begun in a Class /
Started Sippin 40 Ounces, Bunnin the Grass /
Dude is Worth 6 Digits - had a Hundred in Cash /
They Crept up, Pop, Brain on his seat wit a Ton on the Dash /
This the ghetto, ask Moms I Kept One in the Stash /
I Robbed People then Would Run in a Flash /
No Lies wit Closed Eyes, I still Hear the Gun when It Blast /
This is what I’ve Seen or Done in the Past /
This is Real, I’m just letting my Thoughts Go /
Ain’t it Strange the World Teaches not to Follow anything Christ has Taught Tho? /
Hard Hearted wit GOD I Fought Yo /
Isaiah 5:15-the Arrogant is Humbled and Brought Low /
What I Write wit the Pen is True /
Never Surprised by the Evil that Men’ll Do /
Christ is Murdered but Resurrected and Ascended Too /
He’s Mediating and Defending You /
Worship got my Hands Raised like it’s 10 to 2 /
Or 10:10 /
Check the Face of your Watch /
If you get it, you’ll see that Bar Hard like you Tasting a Scotch /
Looking like you got Hit in the Place of your Crotch /
My Niggaz still Attempt me to Ride /
And the Devil still Tempt me wit Pride /
Im before GOD on Charges and in Order to Exempt me, He Died /
So why I feel Empty Inside? /
Huh?? /
Sometimes I Feel Worthlessness /
Figuring Out what my Purpose Is /
People saying “Why Don’t we see the Smirk of His?” /
I’m an Iceberg, you don’t see Underneath but only what Surfaces /
In Bondage but I’m Breaking Free /
Ain’t It Funny that the way of Standing Up is to Take a Knee /
Feeling the Way I Feel is Something that I Hate to See /
Am I Alone or do Anyone Relate to Me? /
Hook - Thumpz416ix
Does anyone relate to me or feel the same? /
Tell me, do you also conceal the shame? /
LORD, I’m calling on you to heal the pain /
Why is the world so dark and cold? /
I’m no longer giving you part but whole /
So LORD come invade my heart and soul /
I’m giving you the real me /
Does anybody feel me? /
Verse 2 - BSEMNT
I heard new youth now dead in the streets /
Got me questioning my life in my bed gripped sheets /
Thinking how can i sleep when theres people in need /
Got me feeling my greed when will this happen to me /
Clutching a blade /
I walk the streets ducking these fades /
Stuck and amazed /
I feel like i run amuck in a maze /
Twists and turns feelin hell beneath as it burns /
Seen the headline when will these people just learn /
Wont say black lives matter from their silver platters /
Broken homes broken ones life is shattered /
Blood be scattered mommas losin sons its a pattern /
Girls in the mirror crying wishing stomachs was flatter /
Huh, but im just another rap cat /
They just wanna hear a hit that makes a back clap /
Im just tryna make a hit that brings a dad back /
Live in the moment yall can put away ya snapchats /
Broke away from music /
I was havin thought of usin /
Pills to numb the pain cause my brain took an brusin /
Thinking bout these promises that i could never keep /
Thinking bout the problems in these cold dark streets /
I’m feelin jaded /
Im thinking all this livings over rated /
Who’s watching us struggle cause these scales is over weighted /
On one side so the more that we drop - they rise /
They fly - so high while we die /
Sometimes i think that this is all a facade /
Have all these christians looking at me like im odd /
Like they aint ever doubt god once /
Soon as i talk my feelings they just pull out they guns /
And they shoot, i feel odd up in this room /
Cause theres people all around me asking why i love these youth /
They scream thugs, liars, thieves, killas /
How can we be silent bout this pain we feeling /
So we spit tracks in a plywood booth /
And we Write bars on our ways to school /
And we dream big of being on that stage /
And we wanna bring this city love and change /
Lord we need you, we need you in these streets /
Cause most of us got nothing to eat /
And we killing ourselves, show us how to love /
No more hashtag justice for us /
Only thing i want for 13 is vacancy /
Have these kids make it big so they can see /
They was kings the whole time not in slavery /
Am i alone do anyone relate to me? /

Verse WuN
My thoughts dark like Sudan and Haiti /
It’s evident when I scan a lady /
My pride saying “if rap was the NFL then mans is Brady” /
The flesh want the old me back like the fans of Shady /

The hate is real, break the seal and done the crown /
I’m seeing visions of me where I run the town /
You saying smack, spray the mac and gun em down /
Word, Now I’m ducking a cop /
My flesh loves the feeling of feeling stuck on the block /
All I know is the stash that I tuck in my sock /
Sticking players for ice like a puck when it drop /
Uh, I can’t front dogg, I like the the cheddar /
Flesh saying “get cheques (checks) like a Nike sweater /
Devil saying “all your storms I can
Likely weather” /
“Forget Christ - this might be better” /
Are you rolling or what? /

Make space for me /
You really think by grace your free? /
Look, I’m the place to be /

I will give you everything you ever wanted if you worship me /
I will give you everythang, everythang /
Follow me /
Verse Two
When I wake I feel /
That I can’t tell the difference tween fake and real /
Quite often I listen to the snake’s appeal /
Will I take the deal? /
My mind is hell, time will tell if I break and kneel /
The topic is ill /
(Re)member when he brought Christ to the top of the hill? /
Huh? My two knees I’ll be dropping em still /
He giving me change like the gwop in a till /
I want the fame, the power, the women and the cheddar to flaunt /
In other words whatever I want /
I’m thinking this be nice to keep /
Devil’s pie - had a slice to eat /
Now he’s wanting my soul and the price is cheap /
He saying “Christ - no longer believe him /
So I’m thinking “is it wrong if I leave him?” /
Dang, will his voice decline? /
I don’t know but the choice is mine /
The choice is mine /
Hook
Make space for me /
You really think by grace your free? /
Look, I’m the place to be /
All you gotta do is taste and see /

Verse WuN
LORD, the time for me to vent is due /
It’s only right that I went to you /
I admit I haven’t always been faithful in what I’m sent to do /
Not only am I confessing - I’m repenting too /
What I meant to do /
Is give you my all like the widow’s offering of a cent or two /
Crying over the church, my lament - it grew /
Yeah, I’m burdened by those who are an extent of you /
GOD, it’s affecting and exhausting me /
It don’t matter if they far or across from me /
How are preachers out here on a flossing spree /
People speaking they thoughts and call it prophecy /
That ain’t following Jesus - that’s apostasy /
Thinking your above the word - apostrophe /
Jesus, your my king and the boss of me /
That’s why “sinners” and the “unclean” moss wit me /
Yeah, at times it’s hard to stay driven /
They quick to condemn your way living /
Look at the shots that they giving /
You be vulnerable and they attack you - just look what they did to JGivens /
Word, Why is it quick for y’all to stone? /
I’m at my end like Paul in Rome /
LORD, I need someone to assist me - Calderon /
I’m so tired of doing this thang all alone /

My tears fall - pillow soak as I mourn /
I’m feeling like Paul when he spoke of his thorn /
Yeah, plus I got images in my head from back when I was stroking to porn /
LORD deliver me, under your aid I belong /
For me to do that to my wife is degrading and wrong /
I’m indebted to my sins but you paid and it’s gone /
So it’s MIA - Bosh, Wade and LeBron /
I give the real but they make art to deceive /
Not me, I wear my heart on my sleeve /
So despite all the criticism, tho it hurts, I still grin wide /
Cuz I publicly say what you keep inside /
I’m from a hood where they fire the snub /
And wet you - pacifier and tub /
I’m tryna show em Christ who’s Higher above /Influence is when others you inspire to love /
Honesty and introspectiveness /
Are you respecting this? /
You’ll see me as whatever your perspective is /

Conflicted cuz I know a couple mans who /
Highlight you in laser red like a scanned sku /
Put you under white sheets like the klan do /

Which means I’m on track to fail /
Did 10 months, 2 months later back in Jail /
Dang, it’s so hard being black and male /
Now a days I have no desire for joy /
Criminal record so who gon hire your boi? /
Minimum can’t feed the fam /
This indeed a scam /
I rather load up and fire the toy /
The system flawed - government ain’t dealin the cards right /
(So) Its back to block and I’m dealin the hard white /
My thoughts stressin me /
Is this my destiny? /
I know it’s wrong but this options the best for me /
Word, so let a nigga live yo /
GOD judges but doesn’t He forgive tho? /
Uh, I know His grace is well /
But to give my kids heaven I’m embracing hell /
So there’s nothing to view or see /
You won’t understand dogg unless you were me /
Now don’t judge like a 2 da 3 /
My heart saying that the LORD is pursuing me /
Will I let him make me new and free? /
Hook - Victoria McCartney
Can't hide all the pain /
Cause its who I am today /
Can't hold back the tears /
That I held in all these years /
Cause this is my whole heart /
yes, this is my whole heart /
And I'm eyeing doubt /
LORD I'm crying out /
Do you hear me? /
Do you hear me? /

Verse WuN
I Hate When I Awake to Your Weeping and Groans /
And Can't Stand When I'm Sleeping Alone /
Reminiscing, Looking at Pics of You Happy That I Keep In My Phone /
Thinking Thoughts "I'm a Pastor This Too Deep to Be Known" /
I Don't Share My Pain I'd Rather Deepen My Own /
I Guess It's True That You Reap What You Sown /
There's No Worst Feeling Than Seeing Your Wife's Tears Fall From Her Eyes /
Knowing You the One Responsible for All of Her Cries /
We've Had Some Big Lows and We Small In the Highs /
Arguing, Sharing Thoughts But We Calling It Lies /
Quick to Ask But We Stall In Replies /
And When You Leave I'm Praying "God Help Me" as I Ball to the Skies /
It Started In My Heart But the Shame Spread /
We Ain't Touching or Sleeping In the Same Bed /
The Distance Between Us Is What the Pain Bred /
You Speaking But I Ain't Responding to Your Words Like I'm Brain Dead /
It's Feels Surreal You Bout to Bear a Child /
I'm In Love With Your Body, Voice, Hair and Style /
Observing When I See So I Stare Awhile /
And Notice Its Harder for You to Share a Smile /
These Circumstances Make Hard to Live It Up /
Plus My Wife Just Told Me Homie That She Giving Up /
I Said She Giving Up /
Stupid Me Thinking That I Done Did Enuff /

Stupid, I Ain't Noticing the Plight You Got /
All I Know Is We Fight a Lot /
I'm Ignorant, Seeking Answers to Questions Before Solving Yours /
We Going In Circles Like Revolving Doors /

Ima Love You Like Christ Loves the Church - the Apostle Paul Said It Best /
Yeah, Let's Regroup and Talk /
See, We Perfect for Each Other Like Snoop and Doc /
I'm Praying for Us, Til My Knees Weary Like I Hoop a Lot /

Verse WuN
Ayo, they say live your life like you bumping to Tip /
But I’m sinking so I’m thinking “should I jump from the ship?” /
I helped others, now I need help and those in my company dip /
Plus, my wife’s dad found a lump by the hip /
Word, I ain’t attacking but Trump is a trip /
And how can y’all have a pump in your grip? /
And be dumping the clip /
I ain’t know the homie but it messes wit me seeing Tentacion slumped in his whip /
R.I.P. - The man dem is shady and dumb /
I’m here thinking bout his lady and mum /
At times I can’t feel pain - maybe I’m numb? /
You left us with your voice and your baby to come /
The cops be shooting - taking lives of blacks /
Yeah, so we protest in hives and packs /
When it comes to justice we’re deprived - it’s whack /
Yet we killing each other using knives and macs /
A cry for help /

No one understands all the pain that I got /

Verse Two
Ayo, the sorrow I display is ill /
When I think about how we use to play and chill /
I thought wounds heal in time but everyday it kills /
You in heaven but you hearing what I’m saying still /
Would you believe me if I said that the straying real? /
But despite it, I’ll fight it so I’m praying till /
I’m living out what the Father say and wills /
But it’s hard when you can’t afford to pay the bills /
Real talk, look, my wife’s always one to grow /
I got a few highs but a ton of lows /
I said Ima change but got none to show /
I can see why she would take our son and go /
Keisha, it’s all because of me you’re distraught and sad /
In my feelings, playing Usher - You Got It Bad /
Us together forever is what I thought we had /
Please don’t make me your ex and a forgotten dad /

I know shorty, she ain’t new to the gig /
She crying of hurt, hiding her dirt behind a brew and a cig /
Yeah, spitting game like you a cutie you dig? /
Making money cuz her booty is big /
Now injections are trending - it’s sick /
On another note - watch all the friends in you clique /
I’m always there but I get the short end of the stick /
They making excuses and defending it quick, quick /
Look, I’m losing hope in humanity /
I’m down and tryna get up but they won’t extend a rope or a hand to me /
When I feel I can’t cope wit my sanity /
You’re my refugee - your cloak is my canopy /
Leprosy from his throat to the hand and knee /
But you spoke and the man is free /
I’m praying for the folks in my family /
May the see you when they put me under scope and examine me /

Intro - Thumpz416ix
My heart, O God, is steadfast;
I will sing and make music with all my soul.
2
I will awaken the dawn.
3
I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
4
For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth.
Verse WuN - Thumpz416ix
My LORD and King amazes, I’m singing praises of your reign and more /
You sustain my core /
I’m in awe of your creation Father - space and water, the terrain and shore /
And how you made the eagle and the crane to soar /
Every sin - all my blemishes and stains you bore /
You lead me and freed me from the chains I wore /
We’re reconciled - Jesus being slain restores /
Bless your child and everything I gain is yours /
Yeah, but still there’s remaining sores /
These the things that my heart and my brain abhors /
It infiltrates - those places the pain explores /
Stress it grew, I guess it’s true when it rains it pours /
I’ve worn a disguise /
Look y’all, GOD- He took all the scorn and the lies /
I’m thankful for every morning I rise /
Cry often of his grace that my tears are ignoring my eyes /
When I’m hurt I’m appearing fine /
In your jar you collected every tear of mine /
LORD fill me with courage - remove the fear in mind /
The world dark and gloomy so sparkle thru me and may your spirit shine /
Yeah, in humility I fall to knee /
I call and plea /
Repenting of idolatry /
Moving forward I’m really giving you all of me /
I’m so thankful I’m ingrafted in the olive tree /
Hook - GiAngelo Power
I give you my heart LORD /
I give you my soul /
May I never depart LORD /
Your making me whole /
Everything that’s mine is yours (mine is yours) /
LORD, I pray your spirit shines and pours (shines and pours) /
I’m singing you praises /
Da, da, da, da /
Da, da, da, da /

Verse Two - Thumpz416ix
LORD, get me right, to be like Emmanuel is the goal /
You the star - I’m tryna excel in my role /
I got unclean lips - you took my guilt that indwells wit a coal /
You fulfill what they tell in the scroll /
I try to climb high yet every time I fell you console /
You really make my skeleton whole /
When in war you bring peace by expelling my toll /
So regardless - in hardships I’m singing it is well wit my soul /
Hallelujah, praise - I’m releasing a ton /
My hands high like seeing the police wit a gun /
You working where I’m weak - it’s decreasing to none /
I’m praying that the world comes to peace wit your Son /
For real, I’m hoping I’m obeying right /
Oh LORD, may you stay in sight /
I’m meditating on your word day and night /Dirty within like a harlot - tho my sin is like scarlet - it’s washed away to white /
Yeah, what can I say - His grace is good /
I should of been judged but in my place he stood /
Christ ransomed me - He embraced the wood /
He’s given His life for every race and hood /
Praise the holy priest /
And even when I show the least /
Like wishing you was dead to see my doe increased /
You run to welcome me back, clothe me, put a ring on my finger and you throw a feast /
Hook - GiAngelo Power
I give you my heart LORD /
I give you my soul /
May I never depart LORD /
Your making me whole /
Everything that’s mine is yours (mine is yours) /

Da, da, da, da /
Forever, ever /
Verse Three - Dre Murray
Yeah, I look back on all the evil I did /
As a kid /
I saw signs all over the place but I hid /
Both hands all over my face - I disappeared /
A foolish mind, thinking he’s blind to what was his /
Even though I couldn’t see at the time /
He wasn’t mine /
Saying prayers - liquor still on my breath - I pray I find /
My real life /
Cause something don’t feel right /
This knife in my back from peers and it never healed right /
Now I wanna kill nights cuz I never see the sun /
Busting shots at the thief but he never seems to run /
I was waiting on the streets but they never seem to come /
When the clock says it’s half past 911 /
But you were always there and I couldn’t see it /
Yeah, now that window looks so clear and I wanna be it /
Now follow the plan of the one who raised this man from dirt /
Paid it all - showed my worth /
The GOD who formed and knit me together before my birth /
When others called off the search - you went harder /
Yahweh, my King - you’re my Father /
Now I got one son and two daughters /
A beautiful wife /
Let’s raise them right /
In the spirit of your marvellous light /
Give sight, yeah /
Hook - GiAngelo Power
