lyrics
I witness genocide by assassins who are too young to realize they're just pawns caught up in gang life a false sense of power unaware that someone's pulling our strings. Some go to church and pray every Sunday but loose compassion as they walk out the door.
We're mice in a maze trying to escape to the system unaware of which path to take
Chorus
Where I'm from where I'm going too gotta be a better place See
I can't take my surrounds anymore
It seems history repeating itself now ,regardless of which side you're waving your flag.
Our leaders orchestrate all these world events and lead us like sacrificial lambs. My emotions have become so desensitized I don't care whether I live or I die The media flashes to sway our point of view so we hate people we don't even know

Incredible

I can't wrap my head around it the way we go about it trying to take over the earth.
See my life is in simplicity. I don't care about supremacy, I just need enough to live. Now put your gun away. I am not your enemy. We have enough resources for all humanity.
If we distribute the wealth there's no need for greed now as I live and breathe we shall be free
(Chorus)
(When we're not fighting ourselves we can be Incredible
When we just open your heart we can be Incredible)
I wonder when we realize perpetuating our own demise when we fight amongst ourselves.
Food for thought words for the soul will aid in making children grow but who's gonna care about the old.
Now put your gun away. I am not your enemy, don't shoot the messenger like you have done in history.
I'm just carrying on traditions of ancestory
Now as we live and breathe we shall be free.
(Chorus)
(When we're not fighting ourselves we can be Incredible
If you just open your heart we can be Incredible)
Jah Jah make I n I for a purpose still mankind is missing the point .
Dem nah lend a helping hand now without a profit you nuh see how dem act so trite.
Jah Jah born In the ghetto in the darkest of night Ah him fuss bring Rasta to light
A so me walk and me talk with Jah love inna me heart cos Jah Jah me nah want disappoint.
Rich man drink drink champagne fly dem private plane you nuh see how the balance ain't right
Cos Natty inna the ghetto under pain and squalor still we walking towards the light
Now if you deal with war now you better stay far cos me nuh condone taking a life. Lean you a lean or a scheme you scheme you better leave out of me sight.

lyrics
The love we possess is cosmic, like the stars and the suns and the moon
When I hold you in my arms I love you so much like a flower that is destined to bloom
I heard them talk let them talk cos they don't know our heart or what it is that we've been through
See the love we know is a conquer and we conquer anything that we choose
My Heart can be found in the midst of this
My arms long for the touch of your finger tips
Even the birds and the winds whisper this
Oh they'd love to see me back in your tenderness
Chorus I dream Jenny Jen Jen
I lay awake I can't sleep at night the things I want to do linger in my head ( AoFC)
I visualize us talking on the phone, my heart so warm I don't want to go to bed (AoFC)
I should have ran over to comfort you, held you in my arms and made love to you but I made you feel so much pain and my ego got in the way
Chorus I dream Jenny Jen Jen
I looked you up to apologies cos life's so short and my heart weighed so heavy (AOAFC)
I might not be the one you want to see( But you might need closure) Plus I want you so bad (AOAFC)
I should have ran over to comfort you held in my arms and made love to to you
But the waiting caused so much pain and my ego got in the way

Oh Girl

Woke up this morning stressed again with some crazy hunger pains cos ain't nobody in here working at all. so I put my ski mask on my face ,tucked my gun highly in my waist. See I'm gonna make a power move but I don't know what I'm doing.
Oh girl) Chorus
Baby I called you yesterday cos I was feeling, feeling ashamed and I needed you to calm me back down. It's crazy you wouldn't recognized me last week, wilding out like acting like a fool .Tormented by my deeds and I don't know what I'm doing
Oh Girl (Chorus)
See the price is to high if I'm to loose you just cast a spell on me now and make sure I don't wake up at all
Baby you mean the world to me without you I'm just a shell of a mine and I love you so much and I can't see life without you

Flippen Pages

Universal explosion crafted me molded me in the image of God within me lies unlimited powers to be used in the name of love This vessels a living temple in state of meditation it manifests positive or negative if it's thought of with conviction
Flippings
I want to dispel and eradicate ego driven pretenses in life just keep it real simple but profound separates friends from foes.
Our common bonds are often overlooked overshadowed by acts of fear uncertainty I pursue now with a smile I know that's loves real
You got me flipping pages
The father ah mi light the light ah mi father me nuh fear no one indeed . Not no wicked man or gunman or gunman or wicked man who tries to intercede. When the light turns off I just go down on my knees I open up a dialogue with the almighty he's like stay conscious and the blessings you'll receive and lend a helping hand to those in need. I'm like you got that and I truly appreciate every step you take to make my life

You could be held hostage in bank where no one could enter. I'm coming for you. loves made me bullet proof. Not even gunshots can't stop me from loving you I'd run through burning buildings or fire too. I'd risk my very life for you. Through snow storms. Through snow storms and even Typhoons .
I only want show you show you. How I love you
You could lost at sea in a perfect storm I'll come to rescue you
Love will guide me to you
Not even volcano's can keep me from you. I'd risk my very life for you
For life without you would leave me to disappear. The fragments of my soul could never be repaired.
Chorus
I only want show you show you. How I love you
Chat At the right moment in the nick of time. she's dodging heartbreak on the firing line heart is pumping desperation building I see the fire in your burning eye. Put your arms around and kill your indecision happiness can be yours and mine fear not the unknown take a leap of faith drop your baggage and come to me.

Keep Fighting

I'm just trying to keep a roof over my head
I aint trying slave until I'm dead
I don't want to be another nameless face
I ain't trying to end up begging on trains
Chorus Keep Fighting
Find myself working just to live to pay bills
Sacrifice two meal so I can eat one meal
That's the consequences when you live in this world
Everyday you wake up with your back against the wall
Chorus Keep Fighting
Find yourself walking in the pouring rain
Talking to yourself like your insane
People that you know calling out your name
You can't hear a word but who's to blame
Chorus Keep Fighting

Days Gone By

Took a holiday to England
Cos hadn't been to London in a while
Before I left I had to link my best friend
Because he was acting so wild
We grew up in violence
Every day was gunshots on my ends
so close to it we couldn't see the madness
Until it took the life of that friend
Oh Lord how I could use a miracle
Please send me a miracle
(Days Gone By) I wonder why and how I made it out alive
In those times of trouble and pain
Streets are unforgiven
they don't remember your name
Now I was sitting in this jail cell
Looking about 25 to life
I was stressed out cos my life was over
Oh God spare me one more time
I was force to change the narrative
and leave the whole street life behind
In fact I had to change circle of my friends
Or I'd die before my time
Oh Lord how I could use a miracle
Please send me a miracle
