Keep Spinnin’

Verse

With each and every breath,
I ask God to guide each and every step.
So I can keep my life in order;
Make me wiser and stronger cause I don’t wanna falter Lord.
And with all I’ve been through,
One thing’s for sure I can still call on you.
Not so much my friends or my family;
Half of them can’t stand me but as much as I can…

Chorus
I keep spinnin… oh I
I keep giving… from my soul
I aint quitting… oh no til the day that I die
I’ll keep livin … for the Lord

Verse

Because of this life that I walk
And cause I only walk what I talk;
Folk would beat me and stone me
Turn they back and disown me; Man this road can get lonely bruh.
But I can’t let it bend me
Greater is he that is in me
Snatching kids right out of hell
With every CD I sell so that the truth can prevail

Chorus

Bridge
Spinnin..
With the words that I speak; Like a fishing net, catch you with the concepts that I teach
Givin…
Of my money and my time with every lyric every line that comes from this soul of mine.
Quittin…
On the folk who looked out for me or the ones who showed they loved me when them others tried to thug me.
Livin…
For God; who’s in me who placed these gifts in me with everything that’s in me I keep spinnin.

Chorus

Chorus

Dont’ Give Up

Chorus
Life has made you broken hearted and the road has gotten rough
You’ve come so far from where you started, hold on and don’t give up

Verse
Life can be such an annoyance, let downs and disappointments, no call backs for employment
It seems like folks just despise you, jealous because they realize you got potential inside you
It seems your whole life you’ve been waiting on people who leave you hanging but aint no since in complaining
Even when you feel forsaken by love ones don’t be shake trust me you’re gonna make it don’t be faded by life.

Chorus
Life has made you broken hearted and the road has gotten rough
You’ve come so far from where you started, hold on and don’t give up

Verse
Trials of life sure will test you like when uncles molest you and crooked cops come arrest you
So many homeboys done failed you, fools jumped you no one helped you, look around and all your dawgs left you
Your neighborhood full of violence, police and ambulance sirens, another dead teen moment of silence
And because you got big dreams they hate you family don’t appreciate you feel like they underestimate you but they didn’t create you

Chorus

Bridge
I believe that things will work out right
Just keep the faith cause you’re a diamond you’re gonna shine, it will be fine even though

Chorus

Chorus

Prayer Closet

Verse
I can’t wait for everyone to leave this place cause that’s when I start to seek your face
And spend some quality time just you and I, El Shaddai, you’re so fly
Ten minutes and I’ll meet you at our favorite spot, I’m go bring the water cause its bout to get hot
I just melt on the inside when I’m exposed to the love you show to me

Bridge
Just to be in the mist of your glory

Chorus
In my Prayer Closet

Verse
An hour done passed and I still aint stop, shirt soaking wet from all the sweat and tears that drop
Gotta come up out my shirt but keep on my tank top, pour the oil on my head and let it fall to my socks
The love you show I cant explain, I feel the power when I scream your name JESUS!
You are second to none, there I go speaking in tongues, your love has got me sprung for real.

Chorus

You Were There

Verse
Every blunt I blazed, all the dough I made, all the crooked things I’ve done to get paid; you were there
Every pill I popped, and all the times I’ve robbed, spending many evenings ducking the cops; you were there
Fornication and adultery with women, running out on my wife living in sin; you were there
Every time I lied, those times I should’ve died, for every time I thought about suicide; you were there

Chorus
No matter what I was going through, thick and thin; if I asked you to forgive me Lord you forgave me then, So God it’s on you I depend you’re always there.
Whenever my body felt weak you made me strong and told that I need to do right, stop doing wrong; So Jesus it’s you I call upon, you’re always there.

Verse
Every drug I sold and all the times I’ve stole; those nights when demons were controlling my soul; you were there
Running with my crew those things I used to do, when I opened my mouth and cursed at you; you were there
I was on my way to hell everything I tried I failed, but through your grace and mercy I’m here to tell; you were there
Lord tell me how you can forgive such a sinful man, now that I’m older I truly understand; you were there

Chorus

Bridge
Alright (Chant)

My Wife

Chorus
This aint a ritual I don’t do this a lot
You’re all I’m living for I’ll give you what I got
We’ll be invincible, never be torn apart, I need you in my life
And this aint physical, I aint thinkin bout drillin
Baby it’s spiritual, all these things that I’m feelin
Based on the principals of compassion and healing, will you be my wife

Verse
First of all let me give thanx, to the Father for what he’s made
A virtuous, wise, soft on the eyes, angel in disguise, beautiful lady
So much love and you’re so intelligent, it’s so evident girl you’ve been heaven sent
You have a heart that’s so pure, never in my life have I been so sure when I tell you

Chorus

Verse
When we were dating without Christ in our lives now those were some wild times
I would bag the reefa and hit the grind, or pull a robbery, you’d stay right in the car seat and drive
Now just look at the life that we’re sharing, had no idea that God was preparing
To make me an elder and you a missionary, it’s you I’ll carry across the threshold

Chorus

Chorus

Woman

Verse
This is for every woman who’s looking for a relationship; with a man named Mr. Right but Mr. Wrong is who you always get.
Well let me tell you bout this fellow, shorty he’s the one you’re searching for; won’t mistreat you never leave you he’ll be everything you need and more.

Chorus
Woman why do you cry, when Gods willing to provide all the love you need indeed
Open your heart and receive

Verse
This is for the single mom who’s baby daddy won’t do their part; and all around you no ones found a way to fill that void in your heart girl.
God’s looking over you and he cares about everything you’re going through; you can call on him when you need someone he’ll prove his love to you.

Chorus

Bridge
He will give you your heart’s desire; one touch of his love will set your soul on fire.
He’ll take away the strife and bring joy into your life; he’ll be your groom and you’ll be his bride.

Chorus

Basement

Verse
It’s so cold down in the basement
I can see my breath down in the basement
It’s so quiet and I’m so alone down in the basement
A single candle can’t dispel the darkness that’s found in the basement

Bridge
So I won’t stay here I will emerge above the surface I will be heard
And see the sun shine; there’s gotta be more to my life

Chorus
More to my life than the basement (2x)

Verse
One thing I’ve noticed about being down in the basement
Is that my thoughts become clear and I even feel God’s presence here in the basement
As we converse I receive understanding about the basement
And he said if I can make it here I can survive anywhere outside this basement

Bridge

Chorus

Bridge 2
It doesn’t matter what’s going on cause I know my trouble won’t last long
I’m going to climb the stairs and I’m going to rise again out the basement

Vamp
I’m going to rise, I’ll rise out the basement

I Don’t Wanna Stop

Chorus
I don’t wanna stop living life for you giving you praise for all you do
I don’t wanna stop shining light in the dark or give up pressing toward the mark
I don’t wanna stop seeking your face, receiving your grace, or having my sins erased
I don’t wanna stop writing songs they never heard of, fulfilling my purpose; giving you your worship

Verse
This world could offer me everything; silver, gold, and diamond rings, and platinum chains
A very big house for a very big home; unsecured credit cards with low interest loans
But I would reject it if they all expected for me to leave you alone

Chorus

Verse
There’s a yearning and a churning and a burning in my stomach; it’s so heavy palms sweaty, but so ready because I love it
God when I’m in your presence I can barely speak my knees get weak when you breathe on me; basking in your splendor your mercies are so tender father I surrender

Chorus

Verse
So let me just say that every day I give you the praise for my arms and my legs; sight out both eyes, hearing on both sides, my kids and my wife, cause I should have been dead
Thank you for my church and my record label, for the 4 piece from Popeyes on the dinner table; for the money that came on time to pay the cable it’s evident that you’re able and I don’t wanna stop

Chorus

Internet

Chorus
Deliver me from the internet and from pornography Lord I want victory.

Verse
Oops there’s a pop up I forgot to put the block up; now here’s a picture of this half naked woman exposing her skin and it’s exciting my curiosity
I search for an hour, forfeiting God’s power over sin here I go again, perversion is trying to devour me Lord please

Chorus

Verse
At first I was looking but now it’s interactive, all of a sudden my wife aint so attractive; ontop of that I keep finding myself lying Lord something’s got a hold of my mind
Creeping at the house staying up late, hiding magazines, dvd’s, and video tapes; I cant even minister effectively because these sins keep affecting me.

Chorus

Bridge
So I’m coming as I am, a wretched man that I am, lifting up both hands saying please cleanse me again Lord I don’t want it.
Because it’s tearing up my family, destroying my marriage, to heavy to carry Jesus I can’t bare it Lord I don’t want it

Chorus

Scalywag

Bridge
You’d better leave before the cops rush this place
Cause you make me wanna put my hands across your face
Now don’t get me wrong, my mama didn’t raise me that way
But it’s girls like you that give good women a bad name

Chorus
You’re a scalywag
A selfish, conniving, arrogant lady yearning wants and gains
It makes me mad
Cause you choose riches and wealth over righteousness and having a good name
You’re so blind
My dawg gave you everything you wanted everything that you asked for
And now you’re trying
To come between he and I shaking your tail in front of me get out of my door
You silly scalywag

Verse
Let’s get one thing straight from the get go you know that I’m a man of God
So what would possess you or give you the idea that I would cross my dawg
Baby girl I ain’t got nothing for you, cause you are the woman that belongs to my brother
So how can you try this when you know my homie loves ya
You making my blood boil from being disgusting, disgraceful, dishonest, disloyal lil girl

Bridge

Chorus

Definition
Scalywag, a ghettofied derivative form of the root word scale; as in thin plates that shield fish and reptiles; cause scalywags themselves are stank and sneaky. This word is not being introduced as a new slang, to identify or bash women battling with fornication or perverse living, but rather to shed light upon those women who intentionally take pleasure in extorting them victims, destroying marriages, defaming churches, and ultimately separating man from God. And all their efforts are done for the lust of power and the greed of money. They’re scalywags.

Chorus

So in Love

Verse
Let me go on record today as saying
Concerning this music that your boy be making
It’s filled with the love of God aint no sense in hating
Jesus is saving through this music and it’s amazing

Chorus
I am so in love
And when I think of him I gotta sing of him
I am so in love
I’m in love with the Lord

Verse
Bonified and certified by heaven and the clergy
An ordained elder baby I don’t think you heard me
The lord told me heres your chance don’t turn around and miss it
I want you to preach the word but make sure you live it

Chorus

Verse
Gotta bring a message to my people that’s hurting just to exhort you and keep you encouraged
Keep on pressing and never give up when you hit rock bottom remember that you can get up
The only difference between a saint and a sinner, a saint went to Jesus and got his sins forgiven
You’ve got this option so don’t let it pass you by he promised to wipe every tear from your eye

Chorus

Verse
I’m go close this out by giving you my testimony, dawg I was in prison when the spirit came upon me
Plotting homicide for a great deal of money, til Jesus stepped inside and took that evil from me
Life never stops you go see sun and rain, your boat my get rocked from the winds and the waves
Like it or not nothing stays the same, but with everything you got you can still call his name

Chorus

When Katrina came through New Orleans put the whole city underwater, man it was such a sad feeling to see them little kids homeless
