1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) The sheep lost They ain’t got no shepherd, Truth is they’re desperate, They follow trends to blend in, When it dries up they descend, To a place they didn’t think they’d ever go, With some sheep they didn’t think they’d ever know, But who’s the blame, That man in the mirror, If they ain’t making money, You give them zero, He’s talking about the church right now, Naw boy that’s family, I can talk to them at home, Cause boy that’s family, I’m talking to these artist and politicians that act, Using their influence to make sure their papers stack up, These sheep are out here dying, Social media spreading false doctrine, News reporters fueling that fire, Boy the devil is a straight liar, Let me calm down, Attitude ain’t Christ, Time to carve out what’s Holy, Cause the Word does slice, Your evil killed your power now the throne is for the taking, God done chose another king now repent before the shaking, 1st Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace) I got the crown on my head, The robe on my back, I got the ring on my finger, And the queen on my lap, I’m the king of the city, The king of the city I’m the king of the city, The king of the city 2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace) Hallelujah to the Most High King, Yeshua, my Jesus, the air that I breathe, My righteousness is in You, And so is all of my strength, I can only go so far cause You control that length, I’m here now, I’m here now, I’m on my knees, I’m Yours God, I’m Yours God, Use me as You please, It’s Your will and Your way, In Your time in Your place, From Your love and Your grace, Keep social media out my space, Time to consecrate, back to Holiness, We’re set apart, call it separateness, Now hold on yall just listen, Everything expensive don’t glisten, Every cross they wear ain’t Christian, Time to focus back on what’s written, What’s written, what’s written, I’m talkin bout these Scriptures, Thou worship Yah the only God and Him only we serve, Don’t honor Him with your lip service and then keep your heart far from Him, That’s a contradiction from a hypocrite, Now you understand why He sifts the wheat huh Let me mention this, cause the time is near, If it doesn’t cost your life, then it cost you nothing, He gave me life so I gave it back, He wants my heart so I gave Him that, What’s a couple hundred to a trillion stacks, I can lose it all and still never lack, Thank You God, for everything I lift my hands, I love the joy you bring, Now here’s my closing statement go tell the committee, I’m Poetic Lace the king of the city 2nd Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace) I got the crown on my head, The robe on my back, I got the ring on my finger, And the queen on my lap, I’m the king of the city, The king of the city I’m the king of the city, The king of the city

Poem: (Poetic Lace) I may not be the best at this, I’ve stayed focused and grinding just to impress a list…of people, But next to God you can’t find an equal, So it’s sad that when it comes to applause we’re waiting for the sequel, We need to flat line the drumline no need for a sequel, Even if they give us Nick’s Canon the shots are still illegal, Cause head knowledge without the light is not enough to redeem us, That’s a Pharisee in the church but at night you’re a Nicodemus, If the Blood doesn’t work than nothing can clean us, Ain’t no point in boasting about your works that’s not tie to the mission, That’s bragging about your cheese though it lacks nutrition, Ain’t no point in being the king if you ain’t serving the people, That’s a wolf in sheep clothing, vultures thinking they eagles, That’s a sheep in wolf clothing, eagles chilling with vultures, Drop the Christian name tag to embrace the culture, That’s an image without life dawg you’re just a sculpture… Father, I ask that You help me to rule with righteousness, All wickedness in my heart must cease and desist, Jesus I acknowledge You as the King of kings, Any crown that You give me is just to throw at Your feet so I can worship You as I sing… Selah

1st Chorus: (Poetic Lace) What is a king? He’s a servant, the chief of helping others, Quick to lay his life down so others can succeed, What is a king? He’s a lover, the one who shows compassion, Quick to tell the truth and he’s faithful through it all, What is a king? He’s a leader, wisdom is his weapon, He listens to his people and he teaches with his actions, What is a king? He’s a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, And he trust the Lord as King of his life 1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) Being a king we can win without the money, Yall jokers in a card deck, we don’t play yall cause yall funny, Jack of hearts, you ain’t a spade, yall tryna take our queens, But these kings cutting diamonds, bowing knees, and giving rings, Fifty-two cards but there’s only one of kind, You done played every club and you still ain’t won a round, Reneging on the faith makes you lose what you took, Thought you had a winning hand but our Ace got you shook, There’s only one queen, that has a heart, So count up all your books, before you start, The king dominates but not just as the face, He’s willing to take an L, prevail is what we spell, Covering the deck is an honor but stay focused, Spades do the cutting but jokers are still lurking, Regardless of your hand your partner can win the game, But you still got to deal being wise 2nd Chorus: (Poetic Lace) What is a king? He’s a servant, the chief of helping others, Quick to lay his life down so others can succeed, What is a king? He’s a lover, the one who shows compassion, Quick to tell the truth and he’s faithful through it all, What is a king? He’s a leader, wisdom is his weapon, He listens to his people and he teaches with his actions, What is a king? He’s a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, And he trust the Lord as King of his life 2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace) What is a coward? A man that hits a woman, The man neglects his kids, He blames others for his problems, Claiming that you’re a boss doesn’t mean you get employees, Doesn’t mean you paid your taxes, doesn’t mean you get respect, I’m saying, I’m saying, The Lord anoints the king, He does it through His Word let me tell you what I mean, The Bible breaks down the kings historically, Through the prophet, God chose Saul to fill a need, But Saul lost it all when he started people pleasing, Now David’s on the rise cause he’s after God’s heart, I learned two things that makes or breaks a man, Thing one, live for acceptance you die from it, Thing two, true success is in the Lord, Focus on your name don’t worry about the riches, Royalty is not what makes a man a king, It is walking in the authority of Christ 3rd Chorus: (Poetic Lace) What is a king? He’s a servant, the chief of helping others, Quick to lay his life down so others can succeed, What is a king? He’s a lover, the one who shows compassion, Quick to tell the truth and he’s faithful through it all, What is a king? He’s a leader, wisdom is his weapon, He listens to his people and he teaches with his actions, What is a king? He’s a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, And he trust the Lord as King of his life

Vow: (Poetic Lace) This is a moment in which our worship will last forever, As we stand before God and His priest, I vow that I will love you for worse and for better, See, I can say worse first because we are going to help each other kill this flesh, And you are the one that I’m laying down my life for, so you can be the best, And of course, you are the one that I chose, so yes, I forsake the rest, But I must mention, there will be times that I may be a mess, But I say that without regrets because you’ve always held this perfect catastrophe like I were picture perfect, Only seeing the perfect Creator inside of me who made the promise that one day I will be perfect and blemish free, So I vow that we will always follow Jesus because He can keep us perfectly… I vow to never give you glory that belongs to God, God is the King of our hearts, so I vow that He will never be dethroned, I vow that you are my wife, but I will never forget to Him you belong, I vow to please and serve you as a daughter of the King, So this is not just a piece jewelry, this is a covenant ring, See, Christ told me to love you like He loves the church, And to never forget that I’m still the church, So I must submit to Him before you submit to me, In other words, these rings will show the world accountability… It is written, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh, So you are bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, I understand that all of my decisions will affect you indirectly, So I vow to do all things through Christ who strengthens me… Vow: (Leezola Smith) I love you, More than words can describe, I thank God for you daily, Because you are one of my biggest blessings in this world, Standing before God today, and everyone here who loves us and cares for us, I’m vowing to serve you all the days of my life, Not before God, but as my living vessel head over my life here on earth, I vow to love you, and cherish, and honor you, I vow to respect you, and to be honest to you, and to be loyal to you, I vow to share with you in your happiness and your success, And I vow to cry with you and be there to comfort in times of sadness and disappointment, You are my lover, You are my best friend, You are my strength when I am weak, You are my joy when I’m sad, You are my peace when I am uneasy, You are my walking bible when I need a word, You are my prayer warrior who fights for me, Never fights against me, but always with me, and always for me, I trust myself with you, I trust who I am with you, I trust where I am going with, I trust my life with you, I know that I can stand before the Lord and He be proud of who I have chosen to submit unto, I love you dearly with all of my heart and all of my soul, You have me forever and ever ever and ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever I love you and I vow to be here true to you with all of my heart

1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) Saul, you don't hear that? They disrespecting God let me clear that, I don't care if it's Goliath the champion Philistine, Ima introduce him to the God that's been with me, Naw don't worry about my age cause I'm about this, I've killed a lion and a bear with my two fist, It's okay everyone I'll go crewless, Here’s your armor, take it back, I can't fit this, Five stones, a slingshot, my faith in God, That's all I need to beat the odd, Wait, Goliath, you still talking?

1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) I met the Lord, It was out of body, The words that He shared had my nose running snotty, Water pouring down man my eyes acting cloudy, I didn’t know there was value in my body, I stopped fornicating just to join His plan, Then I dropped out of college just to work His plan, My heart said you better do this giving everything you got, We ain’t just an nine to five boy we always on the clock, I had to worship God through the ridicule, May lied to March on me call it April fools, It’s all good give me whips, three nails, and a cross, Daily crucified, hallelujah to my Boss, Cause Christ gave it all He didn’t hold back, Even through the pain His love never slacked, All that I am, all that I will, all that I have, I give it back to God He deserves the very best unconditional praise 1st Chorus: (Nova) Ups and downs they come And ups and downs they go, But Your love, Will always stay the same, You deserve my praise, Cause I know, I know Your love will never change Never change, never change Never change, Cause I know, I know Your love will never change Never change, never change Never change, Cause I know, I know, Your love will never change 2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace) What’s faith, The things that we hope for, Though we can’t see em’ we gone wait for em’ I pray the Lord touch you while you wait for Him, Open up the heart gain love for Him, Messages to the babies thinking suicide, Listen little babies ain’t nothing on the other side, Just a bunch of flames, and I ain’t talking oven size, Constant teeth breaking, I don’t want you terrorized, Listen close, Suicide is more than just death, Its spiritual, its mental, its trusting the flesh, God is supreme the King of all days And His love for us is unconditional, Listen up, Made in His image, you are loved, He died for you, so live for Him Now the question is who you gonna choose, Jesus Christ or yourself 2nd Chorus: (Nova) Ups and downs they come And ups and downs they go, But Your love, Will always stay the same, You deserve my praise, Cause I know, I know Your love will never change Never change, never change Never change, Cause I know, I know Your love will never change Never change, never change Never change, Cause I know, I know, Your love will never change
