Hook - Cause youre always there for me, you want the best for me Youre the air I breathe that’s my Dad, He’s the reason Why im doing this track And I know, im far from being perfect I know I don’t deserve it, yet you still use me That’s my Dad, He’s the reason why im doing this track Verse 1 The name is G-O to the capital We Instead of a capital me i direct glory to the capital He freeze while I write nights so passionately that light might paint a piece of His uncontrollable peace please take a minute to seek the words that I speak theres only so many times you can let this record repeat treat the first day as your last cause this moment could pass ask and receive but maybe quite not the answer you had in mind time has really shaped the real person I am but time in itself is just the flow of motion my man hoping I can represent You in the most high the world tries to shake me but I don’t believe in those lies die by all the standards You set the wages of death gratifies me more than just cashing a check so yes is my answer test my only character blessed are You whom I follow, is my father Verse 2 forget the track and ‘he’s sick’ the glamour and glitz by writing this track fact is I am taking a risk diss if all you want to, miss my point completely strip away my fan base based on my delivery kiss away the pride all the lies and the calls cause I’d rather speak Your love then not mention You at all fall to my knees when I speak the love that I seek is infinitely greater than a kiss on the cheek teach me when I stumble, lift me when Im falling speak to me the words so I could reach the unforgotten people preach what they love others preach through their actions So I teach through your gift, humbleness and verbal talent Lord im not efficient, at times I feel unworthy The things that live around me makes it hard to be unworldly But I do this for Your glory let my passion turn to action A generation ready for the struggle and the challenge Verse 3 I am far from great take my list of mistakes The anger and hate displayed at the front of my gates The fraction of faith needed to believe in His way Was still lacking my flesh found it hard to relate It still happens im telling you the reason today Perfection is fake, accept the great perception of grace Space He created the Stars He created The sun and the moon are examples of His Greatness Lets try to imagine how the world would be If love overfilled us with a joy that was heavenly If people stopped screaming out 'youre going to hell' And instead started reevaluating themselves If our church doors opened would people who were dressed different maybe teens pregnant feel a sense of shame or unwelcome? Would it matter? do we feel a sense of urgency? Do we want to make a change? is He worth more than me?

Verse 1 If I made a million bucks would I buy a couple trucks A couple cars a couple cribs a couple pair of chucks? Would the money be enough or would it challenge me? Would I find my own identity among the jewelry? Would I live happily I mean real happily? Enough funds to take care of maybe five families Never work again never have to worry bout Paying any bills and what not own the biggest house With the nicest lawn any type of ice and charm Hanging from my neck and arm just to let you know its on You cant touch me, look at all the cheese I got My wife really loves me, I get her anything she wants Im a somebody, people listen when I come around They treat me like royalty I know they envy me So what I got to be, hate cause you ain’t making it Keep living small im outside getting filthy rich thats what i want Verse 2 If I lost a million bucks would it really be enough For me to live nough to eat nough to give it up? Would my people show me love? or would they leave me Do they really see me as a friend or a genie that They like to rub, when its tough, get some money The second that its gone so are they aint it funny I wish I never made it wish I had some kind of warning Wish that this was just a dream and by the morning it was gone and But its real and its really hard to fathom The genuine attraction of a love based on passion Meaning even if I couldn’t buy the things that you wanted my feelings in itself would keep you happy at a hundred I envy all the things that are free that can’t be baughten I wish that it was me instead of him with all his problems with the nine to five barely got a car to drive Living out a simple life, Working just to stay alive thats what i want Verse 3 Welcome to the booth take a seat let it loose Let me give a gift to you from Mark 10 verses 22-23 youre messed up? So are we I’ll never stay spotless or Live perfectly so forget the judgmental preaching that youre thinking of This is Scripture study twisted with a verbal touch Jesus Christ is the crux, He’s the Savior paid for anything we did or might commit along the future There was this rich dude probably had a lavish life Owned a bunch of merchandise but thought about the afterlife Until he found Christ fell upon his knees and asked ‘oh good teacher, what do I need to do to pass?’ So he told him 'sell your wealth and just follow Me' His face fell turned around cause that was his security so do I want nice things? Yeah but if it didn’t happen I wouldn’t trip cause money don’t phase me

Lets - Work - On - Your - Image Welcome to the rap world where beef and guns go Plow and explode to those who carry round a wack flow Your style is irrelevant be it south or the west coast as long as your topic contains cash and you mack hoes realities false the casualty’s actually soft the blood on the corpse tactfully’s actually sauce heres the camera, the lights and the action it happens see it clearer, my passion is added with captions and heres a blunt hold it still but exhale it slowly through your nose youre kinda close but stare at me coldly there you go now youre 1/4th of a rap star spitting phat bars maserati pushing fast cars through the city top down this is how you want it with a couple chain pieces cause you got it flaunt it whats next disrespect a great emcee if you want to succeed then keep following me Next - Claim - You're - The - Illest yeah this kid is dope, but not as dope as me hes been in it 2 I been in it three so naturally im ahead of he delivery is off the chain attached to a train stick to your game practice in rain and claim to be the best emcee who, could you be dissing at me? Ya crew, they seen me rip it with ease If you continue to beef you prolly wont continue to breathe See since you wanted to be here then be the nicest Diss your favorite emcee and see its in a crisis How many tracks how many dope how many wack How many fall through the cracks in my life theres been a stack So don’t think that im gassing you up im talking statistics Verbal portraits, we call it conscious linguistics Gifted is the name so Everytime that I write I reinspire the name ‘Gowe’ Flow is too ridiculous so vicious that it hurts and there you have your typical ‘brag about me verse’ So - You - Want - To - Rap - Right? so how was your stay, do you still want to make records? Have radio stations play you and become world famous? Drive a couple of cars fly around across the nation Barely get to sleep and feed yourself from gas stations Face the ridicule that I guarantee will arise And throw in a bit of the pride with Jealousy on the side Plus a bunch of fake friends with a few that are real And the rest who only support you in search of a deal Not to mention your fam while youre traveling gone Your wife and the mom of your kids being stranded at home And the time that you get when youre back done with the set is interrupted again with a another camera flash sign a autograph take another pic I bet this type of lifestyle is making you sick And I can’t agree more if it wasn’t for the gift If not for God’s calling I would have called it quits

Verse 1 - It all started from a dialogue I’d a thought nothing of it more but she light a spark, right in March At the time I was pleasantly surprised Her love for the Lord caught the apple of my eye And I had to question the timing was impeccable We both wasn’t looking but our feelings were consensual So we took it and we chatted on a simple basis Then I realized that she hadn’t been to many places In the midst of park benches and Baskin-Robbins Through the thrill and the joy we were thanking God and making sure He was the center of our budding friendship it was funny how I always liked to read her feelings and get it right on occasion we liked, to cruise around the city night to see the beautiful lights in the back of my mind im falling deeper in like cause this girl has the attributes I see in a wife Hook - Lord i pray that in the hardest days that you will comfort her in every single way and everytime i see the starry sky im reminded that her eyes aint too far away far away Verse 2 - a couple months pass we’re talking on a deeper level by now im certain this girl is really something special though my music sometimes makes her worry I love the fact that she cares enough to think about me I wish her parents liked me, but I don’t really blame them An educated rapper is a tough reputation But I just tell myself that once they get to know me That my passion to protect her would be evident, heaven sent Cause God knows that the second she smiles Its like a bit of sunlight that took a peek through the clouds And yo, I know she knows that im trying my best to make her days a bit brighter to eliminate stress in anyway that I can, through a call or a text and remind her to eat if shes preparing for tests cause she likes to forget, and always thinks she’ll fail and because of the stress she takes it out on her nails Hook - Lord i pray that in the hardest days that you will comfort her in every single way and everytime i see the starry sky im reminded that her eyes aint too far away far away Verse 3 - Though I cant see you as much as I want to I know that God will use you in spectacular ways you see 'charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord, is to be praised' every time the night lights brighter from afar I reminisce about nights way back at Shooting Star And i know our God knows love, He created it The feelings that I have for you have got to be genuine It doesn’t matter if im rocking a show or shopping for clothes Writing a song as long as you know That not a single day passed, Where I hadn’t thought about you, cared about you and prayed about you Hoping for the best I surrender the rest And If we’re really meant to be than this is only a test I said hoping for the best I surrender the rest And if we’re really meant to be than this is only a test yes

Hook - I need to find my way back home i need to see myself again and i know what youre thinking x 7 I kinda been gone preoccupying my mind with Designs that were in line at the time well minus the blindness But im back and you receive, what I see I don’t believe Cause to love me? Its must be hard but you do so easily Ive taking advantage done so many things to disown you Shown you the door a lot more than my own welcoming for you But to this day you give away unconditional love So excuse me, if I got a perplexed look on my mug Its just that I cant understand how I can offer you more To the same hands that designed the great alignment of stars the same bars that I write typed on a screen or in a pad has the love that ultimately leads to my dad which means everything that I do is just a reflection of Him an instrumental used in a congregational hymn this is far from religious closer to relation the welcoming home I received exceeded my expectation Hook im thinking I can handle any challenge that arises without outside interference to help guide along my eyes its kinda crazy but maybe if I try really really hard theres a chance that I’ll succeed and in the event that I fall face to the wall to the ground and the desperation surrounds im lost in this cycle of a self depending moral How do I un-tangle the thought of its so painful Instead of a ‘no thank you’ the truth is im So thankful Im so sick of these hotels and apartment complexes that The thought of coming home it really satisfies my soul A bowl of hot soup and a bed to relinquish the pain With a smile that is grateful for roofs in midst of the rain A look in the mirror just to recognize the reflection and wow I look different I guess its really been a minute since the last time I was here may I never leave again you call me son your child and you call me a friend Hook I return to the area despite the mass hysteria The spread of a virus known as sin in which im the biggest carrier And without hesitation a robe was brought to my presence A ring was slid on my finger the sadness shown in my absence And its confusing at the least it makes no logical sense When I factor in the hurt that I’ve reciprocated to Him you still love me, how can I feel justly when I thought you’d judge me, you chose to just hug me

Verse 1 - My parents don’t like the fact that I write for You They say education is important go to school So I did with all the faith that I had in this gift I still wrote in the midst of classes practicing this Perfecting the flow show discernment and ‘Gowe’ Began to mold into a man who had a passion to know You on a deeper level, just a usable servant Consistent with verses working a craft that is worth it The pressure is huge, take a step in these shoes Asking how will you provide for a family of two? Or three maybe four, and how will you live? Will your music pay the bills? Did I mention your kids? So I tell them as a man its my passion and soul To provide for my family with a venue to grow And to cherish my wife cause shes the love of my life and music or not I wont stop following You Verse 2 - they say youre not good enough, ya style is too different Compromise this alter that, whats the difference? Sometimes im sick of writing all this music Im sick of rocking mics and im sick of being gifted Im sick of being seen like im chasing down a dream Im tired of being deemed as a lyrical machine And There are times when I question my position if I keep making records is the vision God given? The hardest thing to surrender is my desire Why give me samples if this never transpires? Why lead me down this path full of obstacle And why take away all the things that are valuable? Things that I love, the things that I cherish With the judgment i get even from my own parents It’d be so easy to give up and move along Instead of doing wrong well, I know where I belong Verse 3 - When I say that ‘I’ll make it’ its not cuz the money Its not signing a deal its not even being on TV It’s following You despite the conditions To know that where you call may not be what I envisioned Im just a man, just a boy just a son With a voice and a tongue who rejoices when among Pain that I see, i feel the pain when I sleep When I walk through a storm I feel the rain on my cheek If I could just touch a person who tried To use their artwork as a means to survive To glorify the One and only, but got turned down Faced pressure from their family and got burned out On the brink of giving up, just a couple of inches Away Hey, i can relate to your pain Stay for another second I got a question to fill If you don’t reach through your gift, then tell me who will?
