My Body (may 2012)
you are my ears that hear their cries. you are my eyes that see their pain.
you are my mouth that needs to shout. you are my heart that needs to break.
you are my body
you are my hands that should pick them up. you are my arms that can hold them close.
you are my feet that should take each step. you are my legs that can bring them home.
you are my body
& you ask me why there’s so much hurt
& you ask me why there’s so much pain
& you ask me why there’s so much suffering…you tell me…you tell me…you tell me!
you are my body

Let’s Get Down feat. Eshon Burgundy (june 2011)
let’s get down from our empires & become the least
let’s get down from our chariots & into the streets
let’s get down from our banquets & hand out the feasts
let’s get down
let’s get down from our kingdoms & do for the poor
let’s get down from our donations i know we can give more
let’s get down from our self obsession & learn how to adore
let’s get down
let’s get down from our power & be made perfect in weak(ness)
let’s get down from our statuses & become the meek
let’s get down from our wisdom & learn how to seek
let’s get down
{eshon burgundy}:
time up for unGodly conduct, the credit go above for everything i construct
minus me, no I in we, there’s no me in us so i must adjust
to the code man that i live by, the universal standard, the grapevine that we have planted, get fresh water to the planet
do it anyway even though they take us for granted
we aint in the way, we just helping Him paint the canvas
redlight life but i’m better off dead, nightlight put my pride & my ego to bed, take flight & let my wingspan spread
selfish ambition is missing, i can’t find her, He told me to pay attention & listen & it’ll line up, so i play my position & go & get my grind up
& so i’m never slippin, i’m sippin from that divine cup
let’s get down

Too Much Time (may 2011)
i waste too much time in front of a screen
attacked by panic from unfolding prophecies
judging hypocrites, perverts, & celebritites…
i waste too much time
i waste too much time living for the $$$
material obsession, i’m wasted from consuming
i’m tired of handing my dollars to the rich & filthy
i waste too much time
it’s true, i’ll tell you what i should do
i need to drop down to my knees & pray for me & you
mind these rhymes, i feel that it’s a crime that
i waste too much time!

Black Magic (may 2011)
suited magicians making $$$ out of nothing
black magic with the push of some buttons
they say the vaults are full, i say, yeah, they’re full of something
these are shady times
in G.O.D. we trust so the people won’t fret
but just so you know, it means Gold, Oil, & Debt
the $$$ has sprouted roots, the evil has spread
these are shady times
aaawwooooooooooooo…

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (IJWD pt.1) (april 2010)
she’s got nothing to say about something
he’s got something to say about nothing
but I don’t care…I just wanna dance!
just give them a microphone…give them a stage…give them an audience ‘cause they’ve got nothing to say

LaLaLaLaLa (IJWD pt.2) (april 2010)
a sheep happy with following
worship (in) bliss (the) occult (of) celebrity
reason & rhyme from tabloids & online
so dramatic - entertain me with static
i just wanna dance (but) nothing too hard to understand
who just “art”ed on me?! I want meaningless words over danceable beats
who just “art”ed on me?! Just gimme anything i can sing…
(like) La La La La La…
no lessons, no lectures, no big words
don’t wanna feel guilty I just wanna get absurd
big smiles all around
keep me numb, keep me wasted, keep my feet off the ground
i just wanna dance (but) nothing too hard to understand
who just “art”ed on me?! I want meaningless words over danceable beats
who just “art”ed on me?! Just gimme anything i can sing…
(like) La La La La La…

Yeah! (Alright!) (june 2009)
fingers in fingers, she can’t sleep unless
our hands – they are together
i asked her to be mine forever & she said yes!
fingers in fingers, I can’t sleep unless…
or even when my arm feels like a million needles
i won’t take it way, I won’t pull away ‘cause she said yes!
fingers in fingers, we can’t sleep unless
our hearts – they are together
we promised to be ours forever – we said yes!

Dying Over You (may 2009)
i’ve been dying to see you come through that door
i’ve been dying over you nothing less, nothing more
i’ve been dying for your return at my door
i’ve been dying over you nothing less, nothing more
come on home…come on home, i aint gonna judge
come on home to these arms, i got nothing but love
i’ve been dying for your return at my door
i’ve been dying over you nothing less, nothing more
all the money i saved you crooked
& all the moves that i made you juked
& all the love that i gave you took away
i’ve been dying, i’ve been dying it’s true
i’ve been dying, i’ve been dying over you
