For Jesus. [07-07-13]

•9:40(am)

[1] Lord I write this to you this morning./ To be honest life for me is kind of boring./ [2] Yet, I know with you I am soaring./ Before I ask what can you do for me./ [3] I just want to glorify My King of Kings./ Raised me to life and just allows me to be on bended knees./ [4] Realizing who you are makes me see a better me./ Enough about Richard, I just want to focus on you.. You're intimacy./ [5] I realize that spending every moment with you is everything./ Not just in the word or prayer in the morning./ [6] Those are Good staring points now I pray that it's ongoing./ Today, Oh today I want a better glimpse of your glory./ [7] Floor my heart as you fill it. Give me heavenly lungs to breathe./ Make me aware of your love from now and when I awake from my sleep./

Not Empty Forever [07-15-13]

•5:03(pm)

[1] I'm really feeling tired of this./
It's clear to see that I need more of Jesus./ [2] My pridefull flesh has me saying to almost lust again./ Yet my humble spirit is seeking rather to trust in him./ [3] Jesus is my joy and my satisfaction./ So in him I should seek whenever I feel captive./ [4] I'm mad at my self because my words are in vain and careless./ Procrastinating has me like "go ahead and stay down, you're defeated./ [5] How could you be Christ like when you hardly stay seeking Jesus./ You're just a broken vessel who keeps making not just one empty promise."/ [6] Ok, I admit it that every small trigger I bombed it./ Every found technique I tend to wind up and lose it./ [7] Then I am reminded of where I was and who Jesus is./ He does not expect me to be perfect just to seek Him./ [8] Even if my emptiness is as huge as the grand canyon./ His love can easily make that area in to an ocean./

God Glorified [07-03-13]

•8:33[pm]

[1] I just want to see God Glorified./
In myself first, than to see anyone else cry./ [2] I just want to represent Him on all kinds of mic./ Preach, Rap, Teach & rejoice with my very life./ [3] I lift Jesus up since I was the reason He was crucified./ I lift Jesus up since for me He came back to life./ [4] Death Thought he won until Jesus was like "Psyche"./ I continue to rejoice with Christ since with Him there is no end in sight./ [5] No death, more like a recess to those who walk with Christ./ Follow Christ even if that means your humanity will be tourterd then you die./ [6] We are alive so since we are in Christ let us be new not blind./ That sight, Oh we can see, we can see so why we act like Jesus ain't save our lives./ [7] We are at war that's something we hardly grasp in this earthly life./ We get divided, accused and slandered against, but never rebuke the father of lies./ [8] Our hearts matter now if we choose to lift Jesus on high./ It will be a time where everyone will bow and proclaim Jesus is Lord.. let God be Glorified./

Amped Up. [06-09-13]

•7:15[am]

[1] So I guess as the title goes I'm a little amped./ Even more excited than when I aqquire food stamps./ [2] Not sure when I'll have a gathering soon with the sandman./ Singapore cane all across my melon like it was covered by a trash can./ [3] Kneeling on my knees like I'm too greater to stand./ Showing humility and creativity all because I do not want to crash./ [4] Seat belt is off like when dudes be wearing pants low with an embarrassing stance./ So some can pretend to be hard, but I'll remain in the fighter stance./

[5] At a red eye glance you can tell I can become a battle ax./ Dangerous all because I follow the shepherd. I represent the Lamb./ [6] I'll pray & preach the Gospel even if every square mile proclaiming was banned./ Not just with words, but carrying and living out God's word & plan./ [7] I'm bold, but mostly my flesh causes me to be a weak frail man./ Bleaching my mind with fear and insecurities like I was Stan./ [8] So information of the Bible in my head I cram./ All while coming to Christ & being intimate with Jesus because I'm a needy man./

[9] With Jesus I can so fly like I was Micheal in Space Jam./ Seeing red, No Bull instead of because His Blood which makes me a clean man./ [10] Any & every beat is a jobber that'll go down with a body slam./ Yet I become a heel on a beat and make the sound waves pay like it hurt my fam./ [11] The enemy ain't no friend or kin of me or even apart of my clan./ My God will reign an infinity, even he will reign a grand./ [12] I have that joy, my strength which at times causes me to laugh./ I say the name Jesus and demons run away like a brother done passed gassed./

[13] Giving God heart praise is such a noble task./ I mean any human can shout amen and throw a bunch of hand claps./ [14] When I come near my God I don't want it be me wearing a mask./ Why hide from Him since He's known me way before the past./ [15] I'll serve my God like a prophet who the people declare as mad./ Go ahead & enslave my body, but you can never take my Salva-chan./ [16] Lord God give me your strength to remain amped./ Fill me up so that I can pour out onto others in this land./

Sunday Honesty. [06-09-13]

•6:19[am]

(1) Lately it's always has been a minute with me./ I make commitments, but I also get distracted easily./ (2) So much so that the distractions causes me to become lazy/ A ill equipped thinker who has been procrastinating./ (3) Not just that, but I have been sort of praying./ Asking God to give me a desire for what I be saying./ (4) Like if the rhymes were dancing, then the paper is breaking./ Made with particles of earth so I'm in to quaking./ 

(5) Not really a Quaker since I'm more of a Grits man./ Not the music or the movement, I'm talking that nourishment fam./

(6) So let me say what I know I think./ I should just free write my poems while asking God to lead me./ (7) I only make it harder than it really needs to be./ Why am I aiming for perfect when it's easier targeting me./ (8) The only perfect shot was He who took artillery for me./ So if I'm reminded of Him in constant thoughts, then my aim in one should be three's./

(9) As I write this I haven't really gotten any shut eye./ I've been up all night messing with my phone, until I realized./

(10) I realized that I was letting the clock go to mildew./ Searching for Bible apps & sermons instead of reading & seeking truth./ (11) So eventually I got up with my ESV and went in the bathroom./ Got honest before God before eating the word like soup./ (12) For me personally I need it to stick to me like glue./ Become a burning sacrifice even if I'm only noticed by Him and not any of you./ (13) So consumed while at most my proclamations become mute./ No the enemy doesn't have me shut up, just me wanting to hear Holy Spirit who leads in truth./ (14) I'm not a know it all who knows everything, but what I do know is I want to see more fruit./ Want to see young Adults glorify Jesus instead of acting like He ain't coming back soon./

(15) All ages of Christ we should be eating meat, but most of us are still drinking milk with the spoon./ If you are their, then ask God why. I say this because I love you./ (16) I want to talk about His word and research in my Hungry group./ We will one day, I just need to write out those sermons and pass them out to all of you./

Believe In The Shield. [05/6/13]

°5:09(pm)

[1] When I speak of calling upon a great shield./ I just don't mean three men who seem to kill./
[2] I'm speaking of a true defender who doesn't need a piece of steel./ He packs a sword, a rod of iron to vanquish those who are ill./ [3] Correct meaning of those who stay in the dark defiling who might shrill./ Keep hold of your joy that's something they may want to steal./

[4] I'm aware that at almost every moment I can be in some kind of distress./ I still know he's there, here to be at my side more than any best friend./ [5] Riding around town on my bike without any problem./ Feeling so secure in knowing that the Lord is my helmet./ [6] I won't act big & bad and say that with every pain I can take it./ I will say that as long as Jesus is my shield I'll find peace in the furnace./

[7] No matter the flames that surround me like a rap battle stage./ Not like I'm encouraging the heat, but being bullied for things that I say./ [8] Persecution is absolutely everywhere, but I must remember that The Lord sustains./ Not every situation is absolutely clear, but I must consider all of The Lord's ways./ [9] Even if I become a spectacle for not joining the parade./ I realize that I'm in the army, and I'll continue to be different for stepping up and away./

[10] I need Jesus to dress me up in His Armor./ Which has padding that can block a regular sword./  [11] Not saying that it numbs the pain, but with armor I keep my focus on the lord./ No matter what happens, because of Him, I'm righteous in this world./ [12] Letting Salvation leak through my thoughts so I'm thinking pure./ Slicing away the enemy with The Spirit which is the Sword./

[13] As I'm delivering the Gospel of Peace I got my kicks on./ So sagging my pants is never an option when standing firm with the belt of truth on./

[14] So in every battle I use my faith as my shield./ To combat the enemies ways that aim to kill./ (15) So I'm strapped knowing that Jesus is real./ With that I have confidence in saying "Believe In The Shield."

Unconnected Dots [5/2/13]

•11:46(pm)

(1) I used to write rhymes everyday and night off of dedication./ I guess getting better each time was my only inspiration./

(2) I would often push my self to scribble out a few phrases./  Just so that I can have an extra day down on pages./ (3) Lately I wanted to write, but thinking "Besides Kent & Christi who would read this./ He already knows my heart, that He would be Jesus./

(4) So I guess it don't matter what I put down./ All I hope to do is to give you an upside down frown./ (5) All while fronting lyrical elegance like a bride in her gown./ Boldly written phone penciled statements that portray the new like uptown./ (6) Grab a spoon, a fork, their child spork and chow down./ As I give you truth, a sword, thanking my Lord who is always around./

(7) I hail from a big town and a small city./ I rest physically in a place that is down in the way of sinful acts and poverty./ (8) My Facebook timeline is hard to watch at times, I'm tempted into judging./ My tongue stays bitten off of people trippin' over foolishness./ (9) The intersection of online & actual life is non repentance./ Well, half of those online know Christ, well I dwell hardly know anything about Jesus./

(10) I'm trying to paint a poem that is not one that is plain./ Addressing the undressed all while in my backpack I carry a spare tire if anyone wants to change./ (11) I still need to rethink certain things that I do & say./ I'm not perfect, yet I'm not using that as an excuse to refuse change./

(12) Yo Dawg if you lived for your own happiness then are you clocking down until it's warn out./ That Y.O.L.O. term is actually what people think, only some are stupid to declare it out loud./ (13) Is your heart really smiling when you idolize the things that are around./ Is love so fickle that we fall so ugly when they make us cry.. We need tissues now./

(14) For those of you who are saved are you really living Unchained?/ Or are you living as people who say "This crap is apart of me, I could never change."/ (15) I try to let off something raw without sounding like I want people to suffer or be in pain./ All I'm saying is be joyful as your life is too short to keep any earthly gain./

(16) I tend to see a lot that makes me want to grab a soapbox, but who would listen./ Would I get ignored worse than the homeless by Christians who maybe feel like I'm religious./ (17) That's the biggest and cheapest jap that hurts like it was expensive./ I know we all sin different, but we need love & grace not enabling another brother or sister to sin./

(18) I used to love porn since my belief was that God had no female for me./ This had to be truth since females I liked didn't feel the same for me./ (19) If this was a drug then you can now call me clean./ If my future wife is reading this, please forgive me./ (20) I said that so I can tell you that it's amazing when The Lord allows you to have a testimony./ Testifying boldly to all who see that I visually victimized women & was a victim of pornography./

(21) I'm a sinner who has been set free, so Why hold on to chains./ Singing unto the Lord as if this was glee. Sometimes my raps makes No sense like 2 Chainz./

(22) I remember when I didn't think I belonged in this place./ Belonged in this world since I'm black in a brown space./ (23) Look for many years I felt like A Circle trying to fit in a square peg./ Like running a race on my left leg, which is my funny leg./ (24) Angry Thoughts towards old church for the pain./ Now thoughts of blessing Mt. Nebo because God healed me & showed me grace./ (25) I even thought that I was someone who was too much in your face./ Toning myself down so much that I had became afraid./

(26) On the women subject was this, Why in the world was I not like a magnet./ I mean my thinking was that not even one found me attractive./ (27) Like it was a huge turn off to mention Jesus./ I realize now that my main priority is Jesus./

(28) I often compared myself with my crush & certain sisters./ Almost like if I study all those units like them then I could be with her./ (29) I felt flustered to get ready in life like trying to wife her./ I had to repent since God is not them. I need freedom from all of the hers./

(30) I guess also I just wish we would look at our past and actually analyze./ Not just admit it, but actually change on how we do life./ (31) Not sure who is reading this, but I'm sorry if I've been a jerk to you, in my heart or in life./ I really want to be holy, not phony, so from now on & forever I desire & need to focus on Christ./

(32) I'm a rapper, well more like a witness for the risen Savior named Jesus./ Who by Holy Spirit teaches all of us./ (33) Even if it's hard & tough like lifting a pickup truck./ Bro, Do you repent, well you should when you know Jesus./

(34) Asking many marks of an exclamation that curves./ Making sure that my intentions & heart is heard and I desire to be pure./ (35) Jesus is my Messiah. He is coming a again of that I'm sure./ So let me love & let me fish.. Don't worry about the bait.. The Spirit brings the lure./
