Rise Up

Imma rise up, you better keep your eyes up
Or you’ll miss the sight of my fighters as we line up
We’re gonna ride up right up to the riot
Giving in to sinning is thinning out like a diet
They tell me to be quiet, not quite yet
I’m gonna keep fighting giants til there’s no fight left
Cause I was so lifeless, now I’m so righteous
I was awaken from the dead like Snow White’s kiss
And Imma rise like my city, these binds never fit me
It’s fitting in the ending I’m taking what they didn’t give me
Defending the soft spoken, mending the heart broken
Giving them all hope in, something they’d never chosen
You’ll take notice when lives change
You may think you know the game but the rules ain’t the same
You spend your days chasing fame, but I drive in a different lane
Go ahead and close the drapes but you’ll miss something great
I made my mind up, I’m gonna rise up
Keep my head high as I ride into Zion
Rely on the Lion my sight’s on Messiah
The bite of the python ain’t nothing for my God
They’ll try and fight us with their Goliaths
But I stand with the Highest, it’s Him who’s beside us
So light up the night it’s the Christ who’s inside us
Fighters of the gospel full-throttle rise up!

Geek (solo mix)

I’m freakier and geekier than Childish Gambio
I’m rolling dice for D&D like I’m in Reno casinos
Choosing Doritos or Cheetos, haters be sippin’ on Pinot
They think they’re cool like they’re the One, you ain’t the Son, Jet Li, or Neo
Zero is the number that you’re likely to be
Well maybe number two cause dude you kinda stink
Your lack of mustard seed don’t bring justice to my league
You think you rock? Well it doesn’t matter what you think
You see I’m smarter than the average bear
I don’t my Coca-Cola with no one, I don’t care how cute those penguins stare
Now Christsyders lift your lighters to the air
And praise the Lord on the dance floor, shake your derriere
And you’ll catch me down at Samurai
Yvette and I are vampires sired back at Sunnydale High
But I don’t die from sunlight cause the Son’s light is mine
I’ll live forever in Neverland, Peter Pan I take flight
I’m a geek, I use thought bubbles when I speak
I’m a freak, cause Jesus He died for me
I’m unique, there is only one of me
I’m complete so I really don’t care what you think of me
Sin tried to own me like Sony with Spider-Man
And I marvel how the Righteous man pulled me from the frying pan
Put me into a van, sent out to enemy camps
Some of these towns like Lithgow ain’t letting me dance
But I gotta cut loose like I’m in the Palouse
Where you choose if you wanna be a Vandal or Coug
Can you handle the truth? That we’re His hands and His shoes?
Just for kicks let’s converse about vans and boots
You need to move, stop chasing stars, cause stars making deals
I’ll hit roads and leave that star dust like Stephen Amell
So you kneel in prayer, but you don’t move when you should
You’re like a second slayer, player, your faith is no good
I wish you would chuck wood if you could chuck wood
And not drift, I insist you run swift out of the woods
And into the arms of God, graceful as a swan
Once upon, bout to blast off infinity and beyond
I’m a geek, I use thought bubbles when I speak
I’m a freak, cause Jesus He died for me
I’m unique, there is only one of me
I’m complete so I really don’t care what you think of me

All Things

Just cause you never heard of me doesn’t mean I ain’t working
Doesn’t mean I ain’t putting in hours over exertion
Doesn’t mean I ain’t worthy or that I ain’t deserving
Doesn’t mean I ain’t murdering beats this geek’s thirsty
Bursting on to the scene acquiring everything
These mountains only mean it’s higher I gotta leap
Kal-L without the E, the original masterpiece
The Master’s peace was passed to me wrapped in His majesty
No pageantry cause there’s no beauty in vanity
A rushed paintbrush will ruin the tapestry
While you’re imagining yourself on them magazines
I’ll be battling the enemy, He handed me the keys
To the kingdom and my freedom, ain’t no one gonna beat Him
You’re rolling with false teachers, I’m rolling with King Jesus
And we doing laps, time to step on the gas
Yo it’s all in my grasp, Want what I have? Just ask
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things through Christ
I don’t care what they say ain’t looking for a pay day
Gonna keep it pretty indy Candice Lerae
Starting today it’s the whole shebang Johnny
Our God’s remarkable, phenomenal AJ
So get your hands up we’re praising our God won’t you stand up
He gives us the strength to overcome when we cannot
So man up we don’t rely on luck shamrock
We ride with the Prince of Peace to fight the beast sandlot
Yo you killing me smalls, thought you came to play ball
But you ball when you fall ain’t you got Jesus at all?
So stand tall in His presence, you were called to this marriage
Any weapon formed against you will perish because you’re cherished
Sure you’re blemished and damaged but Jesus Christ is the bandage
And you can pick at the scab but naaaa that’s kinda gross
I joke but truth be told you keep Him close, you’ll grow
All my sisters and bros won’t you scream out your throat
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things through Christ
The sky's the limit, yeah but only for quitters
Imma transcend it cause my God is bigger than biggest
Yeah you’re spitting’s the sickest but how is your witness
Your landing’s skittish like a gymnast that’s missing the finish
You make a little money you look down on me
All the while screaming Jesus died on Calvary
In the clouds you me, while I be jumping them hurdles
I need an aerial view to be a part of your world
And I-I-I thank the Lord and I make Him my everything
And I-I-I can do all things because in His name is strength
His name will always reign, His name heals all the pain
No other name under Heaven will reach His level of fame
No woman or mayne will remain completely the same
All chains and restraints separate from the saints
Don’t be cockeyed like Popeye when our churches are raising Canes
Instead remain brave and shoot that arrow straight
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things, all things, all things
I can do all things through Christ

I’m not your rapper’s rapper
Would you like some cheese and crackers?
Hey I’m cooliege like a TV actor
I’m an x-factor, a microphone extractor
And that sir, is how you deal with rap nerds
Lyrically, my speak is mightier than physique
Spiritually, I’m a redeemed son of the King
Chemically, I’m clean except these IVs of caffeine
I don’t sleep, keep grinding, guiding His sheep
I’m not your rapper’s rapper
No gold chains or black shirts
I wear my hat backwards but that’s just standard
They’re playing grandeur to hide their lies of confidence
While I’m mild mannered just moved here from Metropolis
Ain’t no stopping this cause my God’s the God of this
Quite the opposite of their godlessness and all their rottenness
The problem is, they want to be iconic in their fallenness
But I’m ionic turning negatives to positives
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper and I’m proud that I can say that
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper
I may be cocky and arrogant
but there’s no comparison
anything less, would just be un-American
I’m the who, where and when
the why and the what
if this beat was some bread, I’d be slicing it up
mic drop… I ain’t the plain rapper
who has to chase after the fame
cause HighTyde is the wave I named after
I bring laughs to the stage
your favorite rapper said that me and Erik got swagger for days
uh, I hashtag on a song
‘cause everything you write goes in a white trash bag and it’s gone
give my life up to God
I’m not your rapper’s rapper
I’m just happy with the path that I’m on
I was back and then gone
props to Erik Stephen for even actually having me on
breaker breaker, I’m strange
I make craters, created the great lakes
the same day I say
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper and I’m proud that I can say that
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper
You're one of the illest granddads rapping
Nah I'm one of the illlest granddads snapping on any track that I find attractive
And from what I read (Red) it's time for some action
Step in any pulpit and snatch the glow from the last Dragon
Build the body like Dr. Manhattan, watch man
Feel the Doomsday without looking at the clock's hands
It's a tale of the tape and I ain't talking about the scotch brand
Everyday people get Kilt (killed) like a Scotsman
But before I start bussing heads
Let me put the grandkids to bed
Read'em Scripture, teaching what the Savior said
For them the savior bleed for reconciliation
It's such amazing grace he gave this wretch consideration
That strings us all together like some cool alteration
In an awesome Demonstration of His love and dedication
Forgive my lack of patience and spiritual maturation
Tell Satan I'll bash his face in and I'm not exaggerating
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper and I’m proud that I can say that
I’m throwing haymakers
Giving praise to the Creator
I love my haters cause you all make me greater
Thanks for playing while you’re fading I’m still staying
I’m not your rapper’s rapper
