Don't Worry 01:27
Verse: Look at the birds in the sky, They neither reap nor sow, Nor gather into barns but my God still feed em’, Are you less than a crow? Who gains life by worrying? You might as well be dead, Chapter six in Matthew, these words are stuck in my head, Don’t worry about nothing, Don’t worry bout a thing, Keep your eyes on the King, In this life we gone deal with some storms and some pain, So just push through the rain, Seek God first and His righteousness and watch all the things that’ll be added, God loves you, obey Him, You’ll never see the Lord crabbin’, Don’t worry about nothing, Don’t worry bout a thing, Keep your eyes on the King, Let me cut the music off just to ask one question... Can yall do one thang? When I say “Halle”, You say “Lujah” When I say “Jesus”, You say “Christ”

Clap It Up 02:58
Verse: (Poetic Lace) God so up-tempo like an instrumental, It’s time to murder this beat, call it incidental, Premeditated murder should I call it that, The Holy Spirit said Lace go kill that, I’m feeling that tell me girl did you get that, I text back saying girl I can’t hit that, Change my life baby girl yea He flip that, They can’t recognize me saying is that, P-Lae bringing change like a pocket, Juice running through my soul like a socket, I heard the devil yelling Lace just stop it, No sir God got me, locked in, That’s right, poetic assassin, God tell me go get em’ then I make it happen, Put the Scripture to his dome ain’t nobody laughing, Now they repenting for their sins, forgiveness asking, Make it clap for the Holy Ghost, Let Him fill your whole body then we make a toast, Put your blessed hands in the air then we cheer, Jesus Christ in the building, the Champs here, Yea I’m feeling my Lord, that’s right, Looking for a better King, no sight, Hallelujah was the war cry all night, Worship God in the Truth demons take flight, Wait, bring it back for my Samsons,

Barabbas 03:42
Intro: Barabbas: I am that guy who is extremely blessed and does not deserve it. And when you realize you don’t deserve it, you find the need to vocalize it. Here’s my story . 1st Chorus: That could’ve been me, That could’ve been me, Beaten, bloody, nailed to a tree, My God that should’ve been me That should’ve been me, Why wasn’t it me? An innocent man was charged my fee, He took the lashes that was meant for me Verse: Hi, my name’s Barabbas, I’m what many would call a sin addict, I murdered a few and led a rebellion, Notorious in prison amongst these felons, But hey, today’s the big day, A large crowd of people will decide if I stay, Or go home, and condone, I live on, My works in my zone were not wrong, But anyways I’m being led to the front, I see another guy in chains but let me be blunt, His face is bruised, His eyes are blacked, His clothes are torn, His skin is cracked, But listen close Pilate’s about to speak, It’s going to be information on the harvest we reap. Pilate: So, who’s it going to be: Barabbas or The King of the Jews? Crowd: Barabbas! Barabbas! Barabbas! Pilate: Well what about the King of the Jews? Crowd: Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Scourge Him with a whip of many thorns! Barabbas: Yes, the crowd has spoken, Time to take theses chains off, give the people their token, But wait, they’re not celebrating my release, I thought they would embrace me at the very least. Narrator: It’s time later and Jesus, the King of the Jews, is being scourged. The beating is so bad, you can hear His blood cry through Jerusalem. Barabbas: Okay, let’s fast forward a little more, We’re here at Calvary but it feels like Gomorrah, Wicked Romans are laughing, while Pharisees are mocking, Righteous women are crying, but that don’t mean it’s stopping, A trail of blood leads me to His cross, The sight is so bad that my strength gets lost, He’s spread wide with nails in hands and feet, I can’t even recognize Him as a human being, Blood drippin’, people trippin’, They’re rolling dice for his clothes, straight flippin’, Above His naked body is an interesting inscription, The King of the Jews says the description, It’s time to go, Jesus is dead cause He ain’t breathing no more, I feel strange as I walk behind the cross, I look up now my words are lost, The inscription on the back says Barabbas, So you tellin’ me that’s suppose to be Barabbas, Beaten, bloody, nailed to this tree, My God, He died for me, I was selfish, I was wrong, Deep in hell is where I really belong, But the blood of Jesus Christ saved my life, Even though I was Judas with the knife. 2nd Chorus That could’ve been me, That should’ve been me, An innocent man was charged my fee, He took the lashes that was meant for me. Outro: Father, please forgive me of all my sins and my iniquity. Create in me a clean heart O’ God. Renew a steadfast spirit within me. Cleanse me with Your hyssop, so that I may be holy and pleasing unto You. Amen

Intro: (Nova) I’m looking for the right direction… 1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) Poetically I’m trapped in an enigma, I’m drunk in my mind but this ain’t coming from no liquor, Intoxicating thoughts got me stuck in memories, Reminiscing on the pain from childhood catastrophes, I saw my best friend molest my best friend, Now the question, why is Lace stressing, I’m only eight giving grandma diabetes shots every single day, Grand pa needs my help I can’t play today, I got to change these diapers, I got to give them they food, My child is gone so depression is my mood, I wish I had a dad to protect me from this rain, But farewell, I hear suicide calling my name, I took a blade, I put it deep in my chest, I felt a lot of pain but it didn’t give me rest, It led me to my knees, I’m begging the Lord please, Just save me, He saved me, He heard me when I said 1st Chorus: 2x (Nova) I’m looking for the right direction, I’m searching for the road to salvation, Lord, So that I may fly away 2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace) Unconcealed no longer hiding the truth, I use to be ashamed of having these crooked teeth, I use to be ashamed of being skinny and poor, My mama said she love me but honestly I needed more, I hated seeing mirrors because of my forehead, Being insecure just kept my soul dead, I’m so shy, hoping they don’t even realize, The flaws on my face cause they’ll make my heart cry, I was homeless, sick, Horrified by this flick, Accused of attempted murder made me lose a scholarship, I tried selling drugs but it left me hopeless, My brother’s doing time so it left me bro-less, But God, He changed my whole life, The power of His Spirit gave me strength to live twice, The one they canceled out is alive and doing well, I own my own business cause God heard me when I said 2nd Chorus: 2x (Nova) I’m looking for the right direction, I’m searching for the road to salvation, Lord, So that I may fly away 3rd Verse: (Poetic Lace) Thank You God, I never would have made it, I’m looking back at the times and saying I wouldn’t change em’, The good, the bad, The happy, the sad, Every single moment has brought me to where I am, So I, lift my hands, And I, raise my voice, And I, praise the Lord, Cause its, all from choice, You’re the Alpha, Omega, Jehovah, Jireh, My Daddy, my Keeper, Jesus, Provider, As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for Your Spirit is with me, And if Your wrath against me, then please forgive me, I hate to sin against the one that can heal me, Cause You are, God, The only one that’s true, I proudly tell my peers that they need to cling to You, God so loved the world He gave His only Son, So we can have eternal life with Him, Now say it with me 3rd Chorus: 2x (Nova) I’m looking for the right direction, I’m searching for the road to salvation, Lord, So that I may fly away

1st Verse: Dear God please teach me how to forgive, I'm tired of feeling pain from the things that my daddy did, He cheated on my momma choosing hustle over us, And his death left no closure so I'm struggling with trust, Jesus, I don't want to hate on this man, I'm fighting the best I can, to take up the righteous stance, I reached out to the family hoping that we're a family, Blood is thicker than water but I don't think they can handle me, Round and round the cycle must be broken, One day I'm feeling good the next day I'm receiving tokens, Messages and events reminding me of the past, My anger is getting worse, my eyes are about to burst, I'm tired of all the crying, I'm tired of dealing with liars, I'm tired of feeling lost, I'm so tired of being tired, Love will set me free if I put my flesh on the tree, Otherwise I will be stuck in this cycle going round and round. 2nd Verse: Who the Son sets free is free indeed, But that don't give me freedom to hold onto bitter seeds, That don't give me freedom to live like a malice weed, If you keep poking wounds then in time they’ll bleed, So I opened up my heart to take in love, Starting conversations with the ones I thought would shove, We’re talking about my daddy, I'm learning about his history, I'm sharing my life story so they can catch up on knowing me, God is good, God is amazing, Thanks to Jesus Christ we're no longer in slavery, So let go of the anger, the bitterness, and the malice, Your soul is getting real ugly, the coldness is making calluses, Half of this is knowing that you're forgiven, Cause he who forgives much can truly forgive many, So let me wrap this up children of Israel, Your 11 days in the desert don't have to be 40 years round and round.

1st Chorus: The time has come (The time has come), Let the vails come off (The vail, the vail, the vail), Open up your eyes (Open up your eyes), Understand the cries of these lost souls (souls). 1st Verse: Closed eyes, I’m tired of people dying, I’m steady asking myself should I continue crying, This little boy bought a gloc then he went to school, After that he pulled it out, he used the wrong tool, Nine dead, three wounded, everybody’s scared, We all should have saw the signs but no one’s prepared, The little boy got bullied, that’s what the news said, Picked on every day until those tears shed, Where’s his parents at, nobody really knows, His dad cut him loose, his mom prostitutes, Sleeping round with dummies just trying to make money, His peers heard the word now they made his life crummy, What would you do if you had nobody to look to? You want the pain to go away but you have no clue, Before you judge this little boy this what you should do, Ask yourself what it’s like to walk in his shoes. 2nd Chorus: So many demons in my head (All of these demons in my head), And no one even cares or dares (no one even cares), To shed a little light, Or teach me to do what’s right (what’s right, what’s right, what’s right), Lord help me! 2nd Verse: This next verse is another tragedy, It’s about a young lady named Brandy, Her whole life she always wanted to be loved, So she kept her heart open something like a glove, Just to catch a guy, who would treat her right, But he told lies, just to get in tight, One-night plan, one-night stand, He tells all his friends, now he’s the man, But lil Brandy aww man her heart is broke again, What she gonna do, the news hit the fan, She only had sex once but they call her slut, She needs to talk to somebody but no one has the time, So the devil gets in her head, She buys a rope, Tied it around her neck, Yea, she had hope, At the funeral everybody was asking why, But why didn’t you help when you heard her cry? 3rd Chorus: Can’t you see the pain in my eyes (pain in my eyes), Why-O-why (Why-O-why)! I’ve cried and cried (Cried and cried), But no hope in sight, I died (I died, I died, I died)! 3rd Verse: I know some people that spend their nights out on the block, I’m talking selling drugs, even packing glocs, It’s so tough no one wants to understand their juggle, Be poor, do right, survive in one struggle, It’s hard to deal with pain especially when it comes in doubles, That’s why they turn to any means even if its trouble, I know some people that spend their lives in trailer parks, I’m talking hillbilly parents in the poor parts, It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, Male or female, we all can lose the sight, But I know a King that rose to fight, He’ll cancel all your wrongs and then make you righteous, Jesus Christ, the King of all kings, He’s sitting on the throne and He hears all our pleas, Homicide and suicide, we rebuke you, God love us, Satan we don’t fear you! Outro: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Can I get everybody to lift their hands up? I’m about to say the LORD’s prayer and I ask that you join in with me. Because we are in a warfare. Join in with me: Our Father who lives in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven, Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us out trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us, but deliver us, but deliver us from all evil, For Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the power, FOREVER! Hallelujah to Jesus! Amen! Glory to God. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God is awesome, He truly loves his kids. The Lord check me the other day while I was praying. God said, “What kind of daddy do you think I am to forsake my kids?” Just something to ponder on. So while you’re going through what you’re going through, know that we have a Daddy; we have a Heavenly Father who loves us dearly, loves us dearly! Don’t forget that.

Man Down 02:57
1st Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace) Awww man, Cain killed Abel, Another man down it’s a murder case, What we gone do to end all this evil, Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper 1st Verse: (Poetic Lace) Breaking news man kills his brother, Envy was the motive and it grew as Satan showed up, King James said the murder happened in the field, Stones hidden in the heart weapon concealed, Wait hold up, we have a Witness, He was there from the start, beginning, Genesis, Life sentences, Cain is dealing with consequences, If not your best it’s your worst no differences, Cain, what have you done? Your brother’s blood cries from the ground you can’t run, Talking bout, “am I my brother’s keeper”, Dead hearted you look like the Grim Reaper, Don’t count strange it’s the same ol’ thang, Cut the news on and see the same ol’ pain, Man kills man while mother cries in her hands, Turn the music on and hear a man kill over bands, Am I my brother’s keeper (yes I am), Am I my brother’s keeper (yes I am), Now it’s time to show it, Love your neighbor as yourself so the world will know it 2nd Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace) Awww man, Cain killed Abel, Another man down it’s a murder case, What we gone do to end all this evil, Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper 2nd Verse: (Poetic Lace) This Just In some more news, Cause yall didn’t catch what I said in the first clues, Brother loses brother, mother loses son, Sister loses friend, and the father feels stunned, Neighborhood full of cameras, straight shooters, They want to go viral, computers, It’s just another story, A lot of lives lost when you check the inventory, Some go to prison, others to the grave, Violence in the hood makes the black man a slave, Dear God, please hear my prayer, Come into our hearts take a seat here’s the chair, Open up our eyes so at Christ we’ll stare, Teach us how to love so for people we’ll care, When you realize you’re your brother’s keeper, Your shallow heart grows depth, you love deeper 3rd Chorus: 2x (Poetic Lace) Awww man, Cain killed Abel, Another man down it’s a murder case, What we gone do to end all this evil, Let the world know I’m my brother’s keeper Outro: (Poetic Lace) Are you your brother’s keeper? Are you your brother’s keeper? Are you your brother’s keeper? Thou shalt not kill, remember that…

Intro: Yea.. P-Lae.. One time for my dreamers. 1st Verse: Dr. King boldly said he had a dream, I feel like I’m dealing with the same thing, Well it’s not the same but it is the same, Cause we both glorify the Most High King, Jesus Christ my Lord, My God, The Savior, Lover of my soul to the end and forever more, If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, Believe in your heart that He rose from the grave you will be save yo, I ain’t gone preach to y’all, Let’s take a trip in my time machine, Where we going? To M.I.A, Where if you can’t stand the heat time to move to Cleveland, Not a diss to James, just telling you the place where I got my ring, It’s the dream around my fingers that I won’t let go, Even when the pressures on and I’m feeling low. 1st Chorus: I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, Pressures on and I want to quit but, But I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, See I keep dreaming, Eyes open, I’m wide awake but, But I keep dreaming Yea I keep dreaming, Said I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, I keep dreaming, Eyes open, I’m wide awake Pressures on and I want to quit but, But I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming. 2nd Verse: In the pit like a heathen, I’m kind of mad that I’m still breathin, Got the sun on my neck, got theses chains on my wrist, Holdin’ faith in this long season, Is it strange to y’all? I was led here by a dream I had, The stars bowed down to submit to me, Saying God’s going to use me to set them free, huh, Who I sound like y’all? Pockets so broke they won’t fix at all, Sleeping in my car like I was the gas, Things are out of my hands like I dropped the pass, So what’s the point of this? I’m telling you the time when I got my call, I told the Lord Yes, things got real bad, Can you serve me in this was the question asked. 2nd Chorus: I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, Pressures on and I want to quit but, But I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, See I keep dreaming, Eyes open, I’m wide awake but, But I keep dreaming Yea I keep dreaming, Said I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, I keep dreaming, Eyes open, I’m wide awake Pressures on and I want to quit but, But I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming. Bridge: The point of this song is to eradicate the myth. People think that when you get saved, or start walking in your calling, that life all of a sudden gets perfect. And that if things are going bad, then you’re not in the will of God. That is very far from the truth. I’m going to impose this challenge on you: Like Joseph the Dreamer, will you hold on to the Word God gave you, even when things are going horrible? Will you keep dreaming? 3rd Chorus: I keep dreaming, Said I keep dreaming, Yea I keep dreaming, I keep dreaming, Eyes open I’m wide awake, Pressures on and I want to quit but, But I keep dreaming, Yea, I keep dreaming, Outro: (Singing) I keep dreaming... I keep dreaming... I keep dreaming... Keep dreaming... Keep dreaming...

1st Verse: I remember I was sitting in my car, Bumps all down my back, warts all on my arms, Tears coming from eyes as I gaze up at the sky, Hoping for something better praying for something more, Did I, make a mistake by stepping out on faith, I gave my life to God then my earth began to quake, Shaking in my finances and shaking in my health, Relationships they fell and my future looks derailed, Lord where You at, I need You by my side, This road is getting bumpy, my life can't take this ride, I'm trying, I'm trying, Lord Jesus I'm trying, Forgive me for my whining, that's just my flesh dying, God is not a man that He should ever lie, So if He said that He's with you, then He's forever nigh, Near you with love and mercy and grace, Be still and know that He’s God, have faith. 2nd Verse: Pressed on every side but we're not crushed, Confused in many ways but we're not despaired, Attacked and persecuted but we're not forsaken, Knock down by many blows but we're not destroyed, See through this suffering our body share with Christ, His death and His life, the righteous fight, The same God who raised Jesus from the grave, Will save us from ourselves, we won't be Satan's slaves, So don't lose confidence or heart because our bodies dying, Our spirits being renewed, every day there's some refining, These afflictions are for moments and they're building us for glory, A glory that's eternal, So please write this in your journal, Jesus is our strength so no need to be afraid, Jesus is the light that will never dim or fade, I'm confident the Lord will always hear our prayers, Cause even when we don't see him He's standing there. Bridge: In this life you will encounter transitions. But though the waters be troubled and the earth be shaken; Those who are in the Lord’s hands will never be removed.

But not just the side of this system that mistreats me because of the color of my skin, no; I'm also tired of the side that lies about the Being who lives within. See, when they say “god”, they're talking about that lowercase younger “g” that can mean anything. But when I say “God”, I'm talking about that uppercase old “G” who you know not to disrespect. That Ancient of Days who my ancestors worshipped in spirit and in truth. That El Shaddai who gives me strength to speak like I'm bulletproof. That Yahweh-Yireh who miraculously pays my bills. That Elohim who made no mistakes when He created us, so that means if you were born a man, you're going to die a man. And if you were born a woman, you're going to die a woman. I'm talking about Yeshua, Christ Jesus who is God in the flesh. Who was beaten, nailed to a cross, died for our sins, and rose from the grave so that we may have eternal life with the King of Glory. Yea, I love that God... But I hate this system... This system that lumps the few good pastors we have with all the bad ones. This system in which Sunday is the most segregated day in the United States. This system in which people value tradition over Truth. Where tithe and offering reign supreme but not because of biblical accuracy, but because the church that was intended to be a community became a business. Where leaders are buying buildings they can't afford so they put the burden on weak-minded people using emotional scams and fruitless promises. I hate the fact that people feel the more popular someone is, the more anointed they are. I hate the fact that there are Bible colleges that are teaching students that you can't hear from God, and public schools that band the name of Jesus but teach the faith of evolution. I hate the lies that we need to unlearn... Have you noticed that social media has made us less social? Have you noticed that people are quick to share their opinion but slow to take responsibility for the damage their opinion may cause? Are you cool with the fact that bad news can circle the world 4 times before good news can even get halfway across once? Do you realize that everyone wants heaven, but few are willing to live and die for it? I'm done with this system! And I’m done with the sinful mindset that comes with it! From here on out, it's YKF, Yahweh's Kingdom Forever! Where we worship God not because we want something, but because we love Him. Where we don't give 10 percent, but we give 100percent. Where the Bible is the truth, and man's traditions need to be questioned. Where self-proclaimed Christians who don't walk by the Word are no longer known as Christians, but as the devil servants. Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah, is the standard, and the Holy Spirit lives within us. YKF does more walking than talking. YKF doesn't beg anyone for anything. YKF bears pleasing fruit to the Father. God's way still works, and we are the living examples. It's Yahweh's Kingdom Forever...
