Verse 1
So u rap, boi? Is that a fact, boi? If it is, then tell me what u rap for.
Dividends or a platinum plaque or/U a pimp just lookin’ 4 a platform?
Get a Benz or a Ac or a Jaguar/U a actor tryna get a SAG card?
No, sir, I’m rollin’ w/the Master. Any further questions, that’s the answer.

Now back to the matter @ hand. U matter, my man…My rappin’ is so man understands
What life is really about. This ain’t a matter of chance. U matter to God. I gather u imagine u can’t.
‘Cause if u askin’ me if rappin’ be the path to my success that would suggest that u don’t truly understand what I possess.
See my gift is labeled rappin’ I am only here to bless.  Where u only see in pieces I can help u see the rest.
I teach u Jesus, u confess that u believe in Him, the next step is receivin’ everything that He is leadin’ u to get.
I am not tryna deceive you or to lead u to your death. Jesus told us tell the world. I’m just tryna to my best.

Hook
Let’s go w/the goers…u know that’s what He told us
To teach what we was taught and to show ‘em
What life is all about. It’s deeper than the ocean
My only question to you, homeboy, is u goin’?
Come on let’s Go! (repeat)

Verse 2
Everything I write is inspired by Christ/Even my desire to guide you thru the night
Compare me to the moon/Even say I’m bright/We only see the moon because of the sun’s light.
So you can sleep tight, no I ain’t tryna fool u or bamboozle anybody, I’m just a student
U might’ve met some of the people I go to school with./My music Teacher is the One who made music.

He created this for atheists, the shadiest, shakiest preachers & teachers, for all the ppl fakin’ it.
For all the ppl makin’ it so that they could take it w/them wherever they go. Show the globe
Relationship w/God is greater than anything on earth/Anything of worth only could’ve come from God first.
Anything u thirst for from the Lord if it’s right then your search is over the moment u meet Christ.

Verse 1 (Melissa)
Sunrise, open my eyes, day’s just begun and I’m running out of time
So I make a mental list, thinking of things that need to get done today
Looks like I’ll be on the run again.

Hop out the bed, shower, comb thru my hair gotta
Get prepared for this action-packed day ahead
So I pick up the pace and even in this dash, I’m still runnin’ late
Grab my keys and my bag, my coat & my shoes, gotta go, got things to do!

Hook
Time is racin’, my life is so crazy, but
My time is wasted if You I’m not chasin’ oh yeah…
And when the day is through, I can’t believe I forgot about you.
When the day is through, I can’t believe I forgot about you.

Verse 2 (Leah)
But it was still a good day. Didn’t let anyone get up in my way
Like the man on the corner, askin’ me for a quarter, man I got my own bills to pay
He was slowin’ me down and I was on a mission that was homebound.
I guess I could’ve helped him, but I’m home now and I’m safe & sound.

He didn’t know I had places to go, I had things to do and ppl to see. Oh no…
Too busy today. Maybe tomorrow, but this was not the day.
So a little love I couldn’t show ‘cause I was on the go!

Hook

Bridge
(Melissa) This isn’t the way you want it to be…
There’s more that you want from me…
So entangled in myself, forgot about love
Put you on the shelf.

(Leah) But now I see this life is not about me
It’s all about you & your glory
So I slow down…
Stop everything and worship you right now.

Hook

Chant
On the go! On the go! I’m on the go!
On the go! On the go! I gotta slow down.
Help me…Help me, Lord, to see what you see…

Verse 1 (G):
So it’s been 10 months, 2 weeks, 6 ½ days
And I’m lovin’ every minute.
The longer that I’m in it
I feel like I never wanna let this go…
I wanna love u like God loves u…
Show u how a real man does it…
But real talk, baby it can be a struggle
Obeyin’ God & stayin’ outta trouble

B-Section 1:
Sometimes I wish I woulda made different choices in the past
Every time I tried 2 do it my way it didn’t last
So I gotta ask…
Would u rather let me honor u, my lady, or just move too fast?
I see u, girl.
The longer I’m w/u the more I want u in my world.
No playin’ games, I ain’t trippin’
I’m just sayin’ If u tryna do this right…
We gon’ have 2 stay away from each other tonight (yeah)

Hook:
Such a dilemma
I just wanna love u the right way
I know that it ain’t easy because the both of us
live in a place where it’s not the norm to say no to lust
Such a dilemma
I just wanna love u the right way
I know that it ain’t easy, but love,
In God we trust, And God’s with us…
I just want His best for us.

Verse 2 (Keran):
I know I said I wanted u to come over
But after listenin’ I’m a little more sober
Sometimes when you’re used to guys walkin’ out
Just ‘cause u ain’t puttin’ out rejection makes u wonder about
All the things that you hold dear
Emotions get involved, things aren’t as clear
I never met a guy like you
And I don’t wanna lose you

B-Section
When I tried sayin’ no, my relationships didn’t fly
Afterwhile I started wonderin’ If I should even try
So I ain’t gonna lie
It’s that “honor you, my lady” talk that gets me feelin’ oh so right…
I love you, boy…And I know that ain’t no other gonna love u more
No playin’ games. I was trippin’
Baby what u said is absolutely right
We gon’ have 2 stay away from each other tonight (yeah)

Hook

Bridge:
(G) I used think that freedom was in doin’ things my way
But I’ve learned that it’s not always the case

Then I’m like, “Oh, snap!” I’m bout to go in on this
Futuristic George Jetson beat, praise party for the streets…
Ain’t nobody gon’ stop the track while I get my dance on.

B-Section 1

Verse 1:
Out with my girls on a Saturday
Mani – Pedi on deck plus a matinee
Maybe have a nice lunch @ our favorite spot
Saw these real cute boots that would look so hot
With my cute new skirt & my fresh new bag
My man ain’t the only one blessed w/swag
And I’m so glad
That my day started out with you.

B-Section:
See I love my fam & friends and
We all have our imperfections, but
Everybody wants to be loved (loved)
And just like the seasons change,
Sometimes our affections do the same
But your steadfast love always remains
Which is why I say…

Hook:
Your love feels like the sunrise in the morning time
It feels just like a cool breeze when it’s time to unwind.
Still can’t figure out why oh why, why, why
Anybody would decline what I can’t deny.

Verse 2:
Had a rough start to this Monday
Missed the bus, late to work & it’s my 2nd day.
Everybody knows how bad I want this job
And it didn’t help that I had a fight with Rob
Yesterday after church we were arguin’
Whether we should see a movie or do games again.
I always talk, he always wins…
Here we go, let the battle begin.

B-Section to Hook

Rap (Desha Light)
A love like this everybody oughtta have. You’re the lover of my soul, my friend, my dad.
And when things are lookin’ kinda bad before I react I think back…where would I be at?
I can’t relapse…Matter of fact, opposite. I’m movin’ forward today, no stoppin’ it.
So I pray you watch it…Stress may attack me, but you always hold me down. Gravity.
Your love tells me I am when I feel I’m not, similar to a cool breeze when I’m hot.
Your love tells me I can when I feel I can’t. Even after the music stops, your love makes me wanna dance! (yeah!)
So after a long day or when I’ve been rubbed the wrong way it’s still ok.
And when my faith is weak, I fall to my knees and it’s there when your love speaks.
One thing that I can’t deny is your love! When I think about it I get all choked up! And you know what?
I wanna say that you’re wonderful! You loved me first and now I’m in love with you!

Verse 1
I’m in the books right – tryna live holy/And in college there’s a lack of people that would join me
Most hope I fold don’t want the best for me/They don’t like my View, they say it’s too control-ling
And most won’t get –like enrollment yeah most won’t get it
Not because they can’t but because they ain’t listen/And get this invitation the Alpha Omega’s giving
If that’s a frat – I ain’t talking bout them/I’m talking about the one who died for your sins
He can make you Alpha male – no fraternity/mad AKAs u can still stroll with Elohim
But maybe that’s the HBCUs – but God don’t take a break He sees you
For Christ I’m fisherin’ and that’s for sure I’m Laurence Fishburne tryna wake up these schools
You just wanna stomp the yard and see how high you can get –cum laude
You can pack ten in your car Division 1 M-A-C at your college
Tryna get your bachelor’s in bachelors/G.P.A. off the charts but you Slacking off
Need direction in your life? He’s a counselor/He can make you Absolute, no alcohol…let’s go.
Hook
You’ve been accepted
And there is one thing you can do to reject it…don’t accept it.
You lack the credits but wait a second
We’ll make an exception –you’ve been accepted
You really need to knock it off
Can’t you see that you’re special?
You’ve been accepted…
Accepted to the House of God
Acceptance has been given to all
You’ve been accepted
Verse 2
While in school I met some Great Debaters/Telling me how God neither loves nor hates us
You can’t even see that you’ve been bamboozled/Conversing with Nutty Professors like Jada
No dilemma – ok I’ll see you later/The first shall be last – peep that Alpha and Omega
And church- some say it’s too late for it\Cause demon deacons don’t always hail from Wake Forest
Not only church but the class needs change/You’d think she was Fightin’ Irish the way she notes her dame
It’s no secret ‘cause they kiss and tell/You don’t have to like sports to see ole miss rebel
And He can’t bear cats when they sin sin/He took our place – I’m enjoying eviction
Don’t study law but I’m enjoying conviction/He’s the lens crafter –see how I see different?
I’m in the books right plus I’m in the Book right/No dress code, but He changed what I look like
My school’s in Georgia catchin’ planes ‘fore midnight
Me and moms Pips – neither one of us is Glad it’s night
That is right – here’s another thing that’s defiNITE
Definite, I’ll be precise want abundant life, better get wit Christ/You’ve been accepted!

Hook
Verse 3
Though I’ve never been to Penn State, peep what my pen states/After the 5th grade grades haven’t been great
Teachers didn’t like me – kids tried to fight me/a Wannabe in my school daze, no spike lee
Not from the projects, lived down the street from it/Mad cold in the winter, oven got the heat from it
Birthed without a silver spoon, yep the problems keep coming/Yet God still saw fit that I should be His son
Probably not at Princeton cause you knew you wouldn’t get in/But that is where my God is different, He’s already princed tons
And you can be one – no merit/He’s paid the price – trust you can’t bare it
Acceptance is free like a ride for a hooper/Everbody’s gotta choice – Hoosiers?
But I’m here to warn you – you don’t want to hear Him say “I regret to inform you” (to Hook)

Chant
We In…Accepted (repeat)

Verse 1 (B-Luv)
I’ve been workin’ for so long tryna make my dreams come true./I wrote my goals on my wall, now they’re in my view.
And now I’m in pursuit. I gotta make a move/My mother told me nobody will do it for you.
So in my mind, I can’t waste time. I gotta work this 9 to 5 to keep my dreams alive
I write my lyrics on my notepad in my break time/And keep my focus centered on the straight line.

But when the money’s low and then the rent’s due, pray for a phone call is all I can really do
I pour my heart out. Express it through my songs/I keep my faith in God. I have to stay strong.
I send my demo out. Perform at showcases/I’m never givin’ up. I’m determined to make it.
I’m gainin’ a buzz and now they wanna sign me/My dream is comin’ true, but all I can think is there’s gotta be…

Hook (Brandon Camphor)
There’s gotta be…There’s gotta be more!
There’s gotta be (Oh there’s gotta be more!)
Keep on lookin’ & searchin’ for what I know is missin’
There’s gotta be…There’s gotta be more more more!

Verse 2 (B-Luv)
I made it! I have everything I wished for!/But yet I feel like I have nothin’ to live for
Fans are linin’ up…yeah I’m on tour/My bank account says I’m rich, but I feel poor
I’m fallin’ outta touch. I need relationship/My biggest fear is pain and now I’m facin’ it.
Tell me where you are, God. I need you./Are these lights so bright I can’t see you?
And as I think back, you were all I had./Before management you guided my path.
Before all these people, you were my biggest crowd/Loved you more in my basement than I do my house.
You never miss a real love ‘til it’s gone./I realize it now as the band plays my song.
You gave me a gift, but tell me, is this what it’s for?/They’re callin’ my name, but I know there’s gotta be more…

Hook

Bridge (Brandon Camphor)
I feel so close but I’m still so far (still so far)
Everything’s goin’ the way I planned
That’s why I just don’t understand.
Lights, camera, action…Still no satisfaction
I know somethin’s missin’…Is anybody listenin’?

Verse 3 (B-Luv)
Sold out shows, a case of awards, marble counter tops, the best wooden floors
Millions of records sold. Now I can afford, but what is the prize to gain the world and lose your soul?
And we can spend our whole lives/Give up everything that means something to sacrifice
In pursuit of happiness, tryna be Will/Instead of seeking the Creator and His will

Don’t turn me down, I’m tryna be real and talk to those who gave their gift away chasin’ a deal.
God’s plans vs. the world’s plans - Do you know the difference?/He wants you to prosper, you want materialistics
I don’t want you to miss this. His plan is to stay, the world’s is to visit.
You can travel the globe, close your eyes and explore, live your life in the clouds and wonder, but there’s gotta be more!

I was the kid with the slingshot. Only had one shot or I was goin’ down.
For so long (oh) I was the woman who still had the barren womb…so ashamed.
I was building an ark in a place that’s never seen rain!
Oh, the pain of shame.  They mocked my name.
But you saw in front of me. You saw eternity. You saw what was best for me
But even more, you turned my story around for your glory and now I see.

Hook
You showed me you’re big enough.
You showed me you’re great enough.

You’re the King of impossibilities.
Father was God, mother still had her virginity.
And though the people disagree how this could be, it’s a miracle to me.
You lived your life perfectly.  The one and only serving King.
And even when they pierced your side you perfectly died
Only on the third day to perfectly rise! (Oh)

DJ please stop the music, I’m so ready to go
There is nothing left to see, say, or do here anymore
Somebody get me outta here before I hit the floor

Rehabilitation treatment, I’m in critical condition.
I need something spiritual, more than just religion.
When was this ever good for me? I’ve made my decision.

Verse 1:
Ex-Hustler, best doubler. Met customers on the mean streets.
I had a mean streak, but beat beef like Rocky in the deep freezer./Apollo Creed and all my cousin talk about is Jesus.
See, we was out on the corner like a street light/My cousin tryna talk me up outta the street life.
That’s when some brothas rolled up on us like some sleeves, right…/They ain’t ask no questions. They just squeezed twice.

Missed me. Hit my cousin in the chest, the way it make me feel is like all o’ this stuff just happened yesterday.
That’s the day my life changed for forever/I wish my cousin coulda stuck around so I could tell him
I gave up all the work, a brotha joined the church/I wish it woulda happened though w/o u in the dirt
I met my Father in the same night I lost my cousin/Wonder if u can see grandma & them, tell ‘em I love ‘em.

Verse 2
Watup, cuz?! I’m hittin’ u up in ya dreams/Heaven is fly, I couldn’t describe one o’ the scenes
I told Gramz & Uncle Joe u said wassup/Man, God is awesome. But don’t be in rush.
U had it rough, but I’m glad to see u had enough of just sittin’ on the sidelines and now u standin’ up
For what’s right. For what’s life w/o God? I can sum it up for you in one word, cuz – hard.

I remember we was kids, parents couldn’t tell us nothin’/In and outta trouble, man, always up to sump’m
Now u in the fold, good as gold. Teach the Kingdom on the earth/Man, the angels threw a party when they seen u join the church.
Yo this works. Just be diligent & keep the Lord first/We will chill again and in the future u will see the worth.
Just a couple o’ words that u can hold from your cousin/don’t forget…when u see my mom & sis, tell ‘em I love ‘em.

Verse 3
Wow…did I really just dream what I think I did?/I think I did, man, my cousin & that King of his…
I can’t wait to say wassup when I see your sis/she gon’ be trippin’ when I tell her that I dreamed of this
Man I think of when my cousin was alive/He would say stuff like, “I am nothin’ more than a guide.
Just a guy who found out about the Most High.”/I remember his descriptions of God were so fly…

The Jesus that he spoke of definitely woke up the real me./I slept on the Lord like a sofa
When Jesus showed up it was to show us/that we could serve our fellow man like a chauffer.
To know love is to know God, sho’ nuff./To show the world is exactly what He told us.
And He gave His life takin’ nothin’ from us/At the end of the day, He was just sayin’ that He loves us.
