Lyrics - Tracks 16-20
Track 16 – Breathe
Breathe… every breath is a blessing I’m thankful for life
even tho my wife hit the eject button
on the marriage embarrassed but I’ve learned to expect nothing
Expectations only lead to disappointment
This appointment is Divine I shine with these sun rays
bc the Son raised, I give Him dumb praise
This is my death and my resurrection
the effervescence of a mega blessing
I’m never stressing for long
God’s word is bond, I write this song not to right my wrongs
I gotta remember that my mic is on til my life is gone
Peep the openness of my brokenness, hoping you find hope in this
so you can soak in this Living Water
My daughter giving birth to my legacy now
Giving birth to my destiny’s child, it’s wild
God gave me her to settle me down
This is my forever freestyle like I’m off the dome
Modern day martyr prone to give em Christ til it’s off wit my dome
Til God on the Throne is calling me home while y’all on patron
I’m cooler than Cool Water cologne
Breathe. Passing my faith to seeds, I can’t make em believe
I can only show em Christ and pray that they taste and they see
That the Lord is good this is for the hood
And people of God worldwide, Two worlds collide
The Spirit and flesh, yes I’m still in this mess
Feeling the stress but I give it my best til I enter His rest
I’m blessed, what shall I render to the Lord for His benefits?
From Genesis to Revelation remember the revelation
Is for an appointed time, at this point in time
truth is revealed through this music he’s using to heal
Chill for real He’s soon to rebuild that which is broken
cuz no one knows Him but the Son and the ones to whom
The Son would choose reveal
Obedience better than sacrifice so we doing His will… Breathe.
Verse 2:
So I live loud, never wanna be lukewarm
Y’all got Louis belts but I got the belt of Truth on
Obedience to the Word is humility in true form
By the grace of God I learned to move on — Breathe
Please believe good deeds could not appease
The righteous requirement of the Law so the Messiah went off
To satisfy the righteous desire of God
to avert the fire the merciful Messiah He died on the cross
Love and life is demonstrated now I’m buggin
The worst type of sinner made it
The reason I had to breathe cuz I almost hyperventilated
It’s like I’m inundated with cycles of living jaded til life was regenerated
I been elated, death was the price of sin and He paid it
After I drank the poison, I’m Michael Bivins I hate it
I traded the truth for a lie
My righteous deeds is only my filthiness dressed up in a suit and a tie
Moving aside who can decide the illest fate
But the Most High serving eternity on a dinner plate
Earth is not my home so I’m not concerned with no real estate
I’m already living in the realest state
Of mind, may light shine to the blind
I find to glorify God is the proper use of my lifetime
Neva hide the truth so I write rhymes
I Follow Christ like I’m in hot pursuit of an Icon
Tryna blow da spot like a pipe bomb
Christ is literally the lifeline
The flood’s coming, the blood’s runnin, son u buggin it’s real
When the Day dawns it’s gonna reveal
The Government Seal, verse 19 of 2 Timothy the second chapter
But the Gospel is the connecting factor
There’s a battle for the soul, I travel the road
Of the One worthy to unravel the scroll… Breathe.
Track 17 – Counseling Session Pt. 2
It’s getting hostile. This marriage isn’t reflecting the gospel
every debacle looking like it’s about to end in a squabble
Sometime apart, yeah maybe we oughta
It all came to a head when she said something crazy to my daughter
And I defended her then we get in an argument
She turning up the temperature, I don’t want any part of it
Kids get your shoes and coats. Let’s go.
We’re getting a hotel for the night. I don’t wanna fight with my wife.
She wanted a weekend without the kids so I gave it to her
Then I came back on that Sunday
My key don’t work… . She changed the locks, I bang and knock on the door…
I’m raging hot becuz what I got wasn’t what I was hoping for
She opened the door and I walked in mad
All of my clothes are in garbage bags
I’m like “Word? This is what we doin’ now?”
This is stupid foul, juvenile, but whatever
Yo I guess I’m moving out, I picked up my stuff
Took it to the truck, that’s wussup, I see how you get down
I didn’t cheat she never got beat, no creepin, no secrets
She still kicked me out on the street
Like I was some cheap freak of the week
That’s mad deep now I’m in my backseat and I can’t sleep
Embarrassed to say that I’m hurt, my wife treats me like dirt
But no time to be in my feelings, I gotta work
Now I’m homeless and I’m stressin’ out
Spent a couple nights on my ex’s couch
But here come my wife talkin about she wanna reconcile
I’m all about pleasing God, that’s the only reason I agreed to talk
I went to her crib to have a conversation
Our marriage was in a very bad place and we both knew it
I left the house, but I left my phone on the couch. That’s when she took the opportunity to go through it.
She went through my phone and I must admit it
I was talking about my marriage problems with some other women
I was dead wrong I don’t make no excuses
I know it was stupid, this incident was my brokenness proven
That was my bad, yo I thought we were done
prior to this conversation we hadn’t talked in a month
The root of the problem was hard to confront
I’m brokenhearted for one, and for two, it wasn’t to God I would run
but instead I’m sparking a blunt, buggin out
still I bounce from house to house and couch to couch
My spouse wants out of the marriage, Lord save us
Then she sent her daughter to serve me divorce papers
Now I know it’s over my heart is broken
I’m asking where is the God that I hope in
I don’t wanna be sober
And it’s Christmas time Merry Christmas to me
My life is falling apart very significantly
Word of divorce is spreading, “Willie I heard, and I’m so sorry”
That’s wild cuz I ain’t told nobody
I gotta get away before I go insane
It’s not a game, I literally hopped on the plane
And now I’m headed to Vegas again
To take my mind offline and just have a good time
Let it begin that’s when I met with a friend
Checkin in to the telly I fell into sexual sin
A month or two later we get back in contact
We talking bout reconciliation and we on that
We seem to be getting along not really beefin and it’s flowing
But I got a secret that I’m holding
And if we’re gonna rebuild I gotta spill
Cuz keepin secrets in a marriage is ill for real
So I said babygirl there’s something I gotta tell ya
When I went to Vegas yo I had a moral failure
This is something that I needed to confess to ya
I seen an old friend out in Vegas and I slept with her
Shorty cried, and something inside of me died
I got a face it head on and swallow my pride
Lord God right now I need you more than ever
I wanna reconcile with my wife it’s for the better
The next day yo I’m straight shook
Mad people texting me telling me to check my Facebook
As soon as I open it up, I see my wedding picture
With a red jagged line drawn through the middle of us
I’m filled with disgust my wife made a post telling people I went to Vegas and I slept with a prostitute
I’m finna bust, this is far from true
And she ain’t mentioned nothing about what she did
(is this hard for you? Do you wanna continue to talk it through?)
Yes, this is healing for me, no matter what God will get his glory
A while later, there was a kick at the door
I opened it up and it was my sister-in-law
She had papers that she wanted me to sign dissolution of the marriage so I signed on the dotted line
I closed the door and sat on the bed and I cried
I tried.. I’m all alone crying out to God
Just sitting there in Tacoma, where is Jehovah?
I need you. Cuz just like that my marriage is over.
Talking:
And that was it. Just like that the marriage was done. I didn’t downplay what I did and I didn’t exaggerate what she did.
My hope was that we were both confess our sins of what we did to one another and repent, and be reconciled. That would’ve been a beautiful reflection and representation of the gospel. But that didn’t happen. So from there, I just had to forgive her and hope that she forgives me. And then give myself to God for him to heal me. Life has just delivered me blow after blow. It’s like I’m in the fight of my life….
Track 18 – Divorce
Verse 1:
You probably thought that for life you would be together
Husband and wife you would be forever
All of a sudden, there’s trouble in town
The marriage is stumbling, and now the fairytale is crumbling down
Remember how you were embracing each other
Wussup wit the vows that you made to each other, it’s wild
You vowed to be together in sickness and health
Whether you were poor or had riches and wealth
For better or worse, living in blessing instead of the curse
As a reflection of Christ and His precious Church
But instead we have normalized forcing God to tear apart
What He has joined together, this is borderline
Idolatry, desiring our own will more than God’s
The Church acting like divorce is fine
We out here doin’ what the culture doin’
Treating marriage how the world treats it and bringing our souls to ruin
Yo this is crazy odd… How did we get so comfortable
Breaking the vows and promises that we made to God?
Something to question, we are stuck in such a deception
What is the message we’re given in Judges 11
We see Jephthah put his daughter’s head to the sword
To fulfill a vow that he said to the Lord
But we don’t reverence God as He deserves
We would rather settle the score and get a divorce
Marriage comes from a sacred Source— God above
And we’re the ones that break the course
While we yelling “Praise the Lord”, and at the same time straight ignore the fact that God hates Divorce
Hook:
What God joined together let no man bring separation
Please forgive us for breaking vows with no hesitation
So we’re praying to God, He can bring restoration
Bring healing to those affected by devastation of divorce
The devastation of divorce— Marriage isn’t always what you hoped it would be
The devastation of divorce— What it does to a person emotionally
The devastation of divorce— If you’re divorced I urge you to put your hope in God
The devastation of divorce— Cuz only God can truly heal a broken heart
Verse 2:
We don’t care nothing about keeping our vows
We just care about getting out and who’s keeping the house
We don’t wanna be stuck with the spouse because we’re not on one accord
We’d rather break our promise to the Lord
Everybody’s looking for the loophole
What about this and what about that… What about your vow to God?
The two of you were so in love, but now it’s hard
The two became one but now you want out the bond
Staying in the marriage taste like punishment
So you’d rather break the covenant… man..
You may feel in your heart that that’s the right thing
But let’s look at Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 19
He said in verse 5 that the two become one flesh
They’re no longer two but they’re one flesh
So what God joined together let not man separate
Marriage is supposed to last for life until one’s death
Jesus said that Moses gave us permission to divorce
And put a marriage to death cuz our hearts were hard
That’s still the reason that people divorce today
They looking for a way out instead of seeking how to honor God
In the midst of a difficult situation
God can turn it all for your spiritual liberation
To get you to pursue the glory of God in your decision making
Is the point of this lyrical dissertation
I hope this song doesn’t feel judgment-like
I ain’t coming at nobody I’m saying divorce is nothing nice
I’m super guilty of divorce, yo I’ve done it twice
Another reason that I’m thankful for the blood of Christ
I know there’s many like me still feeling the pain
But the blood of Christ removes the guilt and the shame
There’s joy in God, I want y’all to know the feeling
Run to God for your healing….. I love y’all…
Hook:
What God joined together let no man bring separation
Please forgive us for breaking vows with no hesitation
So we’re praying to God, He can bring restoration
Bring healing to those affected by devastation of divorce
The devastation of divorce— Marriage isn’t always what you hoped it would be
The devastation of divorce— What it does to a person emotionally
The devastation of divorce— If you’re divorced I urge you to put your hope in God
The devastation of divorce— Cuz only God can truly heal a broken heart
Track 19 – I Apologize
Hook:
Lord I try, tryna to do your will
But I feel again I’m hurt by how that makes You feel
You forgave a trillion thousand times
I’m here again to say that I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
Verse 1:
Lord, I’m so frustrated with the way that I be responding to life and I know you probably gotta be sick of me
Falling into sin again and again and the enemy is tempting me wickedly I am living in my misery
And I know you sent your only Son to pay the penalty for the wickedness of my iniquity
Christ suffered in my place for the purpose of forgiving me ridding me of the sin in me
Tryna crawl to the foot of the cross
But there are times that I don’t have the energy
Chillin all alone in my living room just me and a bottle of Hennessy
but I’m already knowing that ain’t the remedy
I feel like you ain’t really feeling me
so bogus, no focus I be tryna follow the word of God in my own strength knowing I don’t have the ability but you’re reminding me that your Holy Spirit still lives in me
I need you to deliver me from the enemy and the enemy is the inner me
I not perfect and I never been the type of person to even desire to pretend to be
My identity is I’m a child of God if I don’t take the responsibility of living in it then it’s killing me
Feeling like a failure, so I’m falling on my knees to tell you that I need a Helper
Hell yeah
Hook:
Lord I try, tryna to do your will
But I feel again I’m hurt by how that makes You feel
You forgave a trillion thousand times
I’m here again to say that I apologize
I realize that I sinned against a holy God
Never intended on giving you a broken heart
Heavenly Father, will you forgive me of my sins?
I wanna be cleansed from the depths of my heart and soul within
Verse 2:
I really hate how I have a tendency to react to whatever happens to me coming from a broken place
Every day I’m falling short of the glory of God when God is responding to me yo I hope it’s grace
He elected me before the beginning of time he said it in Peter I’m part of a chosen race
God is infinite in his holiness and I am a sinner
Christ is the bridge like the Golden Gate
Lord help me to be strong when I’m being tempted and help me to stand firm being bold in faith
God is still working on me, conforming me to the image of Christ, so you can call it an open case
While I’m over here, praying and saying the day is coming, and I can’t wait to behold His face
Am I really doing everything that I can to grow in my holiness and to really grow in grace?
Now I’m running and gunning like Golden Tate
Shooting like Curry in the Golden State
I am being tempted in the coldest ways
Praying that the temptation will go away
I be doing things that be grieving the Spirit of God maybe that’s why he don’t show His face
Maybe I am being impatient and God is trying to show me just how I’m supposed to wait
But it’s so hard so hard oh God
Hook:
I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
I apologize
I realize that I sinned against a holy God
Never intended on giving you a broken heart
Heavenly Father, will you forgive me of my sins?
I wanna be cleansed from the depths of my heart and soul within
I realize that I sinned against a holy God
Never intended on giving you a broken heart
Heavenly Father, will you forgive me of my sins?
I wanna be cleansed from the depths of my heart and soul within
Track 20 – Singleness
Verse 1:
Ayo my word is bond… I heard it’s hard out here for a pimp
but it’s harder for a man with a plan
Tryna stand on the word of God, cuz the flesh is like a murder squad
trying to assassinate and decapitate
The obedience of the righteous seeing that it’s a crisis
The enemy uses the most devious of devices
Your sexual desires that come natural to the flesh
But that’s the very thing we’re called to smash and put to death
And suffocate the lust, have it gasping for a breath
Your body asking for sex that’s the passions of the flesh
It’s actually a test and he who endures to the end
Will be saved, Lord, make your people pure of this sin
I’m sure to offend those who don’t take God‘s word serious
They believe a lie read Ephesians 5
The sexually immoral have no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
Lord, help us in this singleness life
Hook:
There’s a very specific reason I’m singing this
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
I be finding myself trying to sneak a kiss
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
Being single feels like I’m falling in the abyss
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
Giving my body to fornication is treasonous
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
Verse 2:
God told us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice
to our master Christ He will reward us in the afterlife
We take our eyes off Christ and we start lacking sight
That is right when we start feeding our fleshly appetite
This is true. The glory of God is at the pinnacle
if we ain’t keeping him first we cheapen his worth
This ain’t subliminal you’ll be reaping the curse when your feet’s in the dirt
if you ain’t killing your sin, your sin will be killing you
So run after Jesus cuz he’s more amazing
Than chasing fleeting desires that breed short elation
Please Lord, I’m praying Lord God I plead for the nation
help your people flee fornication
He died for this sin so it’s time to repent
For those who lost the fear of God help them find it again
To behold your glory, help us see how glorious your kingdom is
Lord help us live holy in our singleness
Hook:
There’s a very specific reason I’m singing this
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
I be finding myself trying to sneak a kiss
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
Being single feels like I’m falling in the abyss
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
Giving my body to fornication is treasonous
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
Verse 3:
I’m speaking facts, they sweeping it under the mat
creeping and sleeping with other cats, keeping it under wraps
Fornication is running rampant in the body of Christ
Lord please help me fight the flesh this is life or death
When you’re being tempted God will provide a way out
But don’t be chasing temptation embracing tryna make out
You know how it goes be wise at heart don’t try to start
kissing and touching rubbing one another’s private parts
Inside ya heart, yo what is happening
You’re being deceived again, forgetting that Jesus is
A greater pleasure, giving joy to a greater measure
But Satan wants you to believe that his way is better
Christ is a greater Treasure, sin separates us
From God, but I want us to stay together
This single life for me is hard, no Khadijah
But God’s forgiven people are living single to the glory of God
Hook:
There’s a very specific reason I’m singing this
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
I be finding myself trying to sneak a kiss
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
Being single feels like I’m falling in the abyss
Lord Jesus, please help me in my singleness
Giving my body to fornication is treasonous
Lord, I wanna bring you glory in my singleness
