impromptu (verse1) I wake up in the morning Checking who checking up on me I check out my Twitter feed And Facebook, no mentions of me Checking if I missed a text, Nope No phone calls man what's up with that So I go up to the stu, Do what I normally do Go over a couple of scripts Seeing what I can come up with Sometimes I get lonely as sh Yea I get lonely as sh So I reach out to my brothers But I ain't on they level I struggle Most High got me in a Conundrum It don't even feel like I'm conscious Swear though it feel like I'm cursed Seeing this life pass before me Trying jump in but I just end up groping Hoping against what occurred You know, how our forefathers swerved Out the way of understanding They ain't wanna keep no commandments So the Most High turned us into walking dirt (verse 2) Sending up my prayers fervent Dear Father, thou awesome enormous Yo name hallowed I will not utter it Please Protect me from destruction Lead me not to self destruction My flesh tend to like what it likes and that's nothing knowing these idols are nothing Vanities vanities all of its nothing I think to myself im disgusted If it's not about you it's disgusting No idle talk, dog I can't touch it You ain't talking bout the kingdom then ain't no discussion Let me not have respect of person Accepting a man gainst my person Trimming my ways cuz I'm searching For love Lord yea I'm fighting that person Dear Lord I'm fighting these urges But I get strong knowing its the serpent Cuz he can be defeated You just gotta prove you want it Just gotta prove who you honor Is it the Lord or yo stomach impromptu

impromptu (verse 1) I can't wait till the end of the week for the sabbath day I be geeked congregating with brothers in these latter days It's not a pain just use the word of God it's like a lidocaine I be getting cut but it's nothing I don't feel a thing. I just take heed, to what's being said, so I can succeed Instinctively wanna get niggerish no don't let that be It pleasures me to take the correction from those ahead of me Cause when it's all said and done I'ma come out another Me Proud to be called my father son Most can't see me with binoculars Think what I speak is innocuous Esau got they brain on octopus Caviar lobster and Cush Foreign cars and prostitutes You tell em keep these laws they look at you like it's impossible They cringe thinking his Word a fluke Like he love more than he say he do It plainly states he favors me You too if you israel like me Go to Romans 8:16 What's spoken there relates to me The spirit bears witness with my spirit I'm heir to the King (hook) We-the re-sult of-what our father did Pro-mised he-would bring-us back-to E-gypt if We-did not-serve him-the way-he wanted it. And we follow our heart to this day still repeat (verse 2) To this day still you wonder why we in hell, Take a look around, yea we in hell She enlarged herself and you can't even tell Everything a trap everything a snare Everything designed strictly for you to fail The heathen keep this counsel hid between themselves Never let them know exactly who they is Cuz when you do this kingdom coming to an end My God, just marvel at my God Matthew 24:14 it go hard What was did was only did so the nations can all acknowledge That he real and his will gone get accomplished Never think, my feet propped sipping on lemonade In the shade, believe what he speak i demonstrate Don't entertain foolishness but keep scripts in the face Meditate on His word You been afraid impromptu (hook)

Royalty 04:30
intro See I been wrong all my life, living how the Romans advised Been doing wrong to my people, I feel so hallow inside I did not know bout self hatred until I open eyes I could not walk without balling if it wasn't labeled wouldn't buy it There was this void in my being thought I could fill it with pride I ain't got no culture they told us, so yea I took it in stride I kept a glock for them haters, big d for these niggas wives Just oh so proud of my foolishness, wishing niggasll try it I knew I wasn't the tuffest, and most these niggas wasn't either I knew they carried them eagles, so I kept one to keep it equal See my whole conscious was rooted in the doctrine of the evil I thought with money I'd summon thee to worship me like Jesus Couldn't understand I was famished from the commandments I broke From all the verses I blurted contradict the Most Merciful But the Most High prophesy that one day I'll open my eyes And spread the truth of his Jubilance And curses on His kind. impromptu (verse 2) See way before our birth, we was cursed in this life And our enemies knew it, they thought they could stupify us See what they learned from nat turner is that these niggas'll riot So they forbid us to read, our families got divided The prophesies as described In the book of Deuteronomy our kids will be given unto the hands of our enemies That's 28 chapter, and verse 32 Drop down to 48 and tell me who that sound like to you Who else they put in them shackles Who else they put on them ships Who else worked hard as we did What we got to show for it zip Don't want no donkeys and acres Just wanna get close to my maker Because right now we forsaken This is a call from his greatness See I don't do this a lot, cuz I used to do it fa show But now I do it for yah, so imma do it some mo If you ain't keeping commandments It ain't too much you can tell me Had to cut off associates And the majority of family

Almighty 04:30
(verse 1) Before we can fathom freedom We must imagine the evil. That's entangling us inside of this web so facetious. We think we got one foot out, still we subject to our demons. We never call to the Father Cause we all blinded by Caesar. You see the lust that's within us, Is serving us up for dinner. That's they way that God made it I ain't making it up go read it. Romans 1:26, it's plain as day how it's written. It's the desires inside us that make us crave the forbidden But they say that's how he made me, No he made you with a choice To either do as he stated Or what you want, it's yo choice But us being foolish and stupid children all spoke with one voice To be regarded popular, Look how it got us, off point We den been through the struggle Can't help ourself to recover. It's like a curse has been placed on us, A certain fate we must suffer And that's so true cuz it's written In plain text you can discover. Deuteronomy 28 for a sign and a wonder. They said they do it for the love, I say you don't know what love is. It ain't that warm fuzzy sensation you feeling. What you described is deceit Love is Romans 13:10 And then it's 1st john chapter 4 and verse 16 Then while you at it heed Christ, in john 7:38 We can not get caught up, in the he say and she say. We must believe as it's written 2 Corinthians 11 and 4 They say Christ cam to unite us No, Christ say he bout that division, you ain't know Matthew 10:34 and 35 let you know He seek to vary us all, against the ones we hold close Turn our friends and our families into enemies both Alrighty alrighty Do it for the Almighty They do it for the love I do it for the Almighty Don't matter day or night I'm focused on the Almighty Almighty Almighty (hook) This for the nation, aye the Father he gone put us on top Lets send him praises cuz his love for us is always nonstop Stay in them pages meditate on his word nonstop This for the nation, aye the Father he gone put us on top (verse 2) I think the whole world is crazy Never ceases to amaze me People so hooked on that dollar They sell they soul for it faithfully They allegiance to it is stronger Than human relations They trust in what they can measure Like computer simulations For every action I take I send up praises cuz he saved me It's not just once in a holiday I do this on a daily It's not a burden too cumbersome I can not do away with I just pray to the father And operate in my patience In these scripts I find solace Honest the hate I admonish Towards my brethren of my nation seeking him like I am I got he eye of a lion Crouching, deceit I'm not buying This is the season, society See the zeitgeist of Zion This where the Iron is mired Where all desires for hire Where all the hatred that you displayed it ignited the fire Yes sir the father he saw it Sat back so patient and quiet Waiting for 1/3 to see it before the day he decide its Time for the Persians and Meads Son of the Romans and Greeks To finally pay for every-thing that they got for free It's not my words it was written, Go seek for yo self and see And I promise, it'll do wonders for your self esteem Turn from them doctrines of nonsense All of em focused on profit Not really teaching you nothing Just milking you out yo pockets They preach a story so polished Talk smooth Got you astonished Make you feel good and mushy Must be the love of the father Go home and still feel so hallow Now that's the work of the Father You think these words is felonious Check second Thessalonians 2,11 that's for yall who love that whooping and holling Repent or you will be demolished

Amen 04:18
(hook) If you know this to be true And he lives in you Now you a new man Then raise up yo hands Whole Israel say amen... (verse 1) The earth is given to the wicked ones They archers aiming at our helpless ones They boldly mock the day of yo return So I know they gotta face that thermal burn If they Israel I pray they spirit turn. Strengthen my faith to teach the dead to learn If it ain't glits, and tits most ain't concerned Prolly why you say 2/3 of us gotta burn Look at all these doctrines they speaking Criticize the name we call Jesus Focused on the way we should say it Instead of the works he completed Them be the wolves cloaked in sheepskin Animosity what they breeding When the word sowed they come to weed it Hit em with the word and they fleeing Pouting bout the way we competing For favor Sowing these seeds for the savior It'll grow in its season Can't rush it to its completion What you trying to usher in thesis Like what you thee monotheist I'm surrounded be demonic beings But the word it purges it amen (hook) (verse 2) I don't acknowledge these sovereign Impoverished Marxists think cautiously cause my father he polishes me to knock of these scoffers Coffins obviously an option for pompous conscious And such that utters the none sense of Worshipping sun moon stars and the waters Where was all these doctrines concocted, Everything in this world so demonic When I talk God they be like stop it Running like speaking bout swasticks It get depressing to watch it Just wanna crush yo larynx and coccyx Cuz these my people I see the evil they too sleep to spot it Dodging the root of confusion cause they all use to the music Used to being used for amusement Muses for the twisted abusers Consumed like juices The truces useless they worship seleucus And all his kind Out yall mind If yall think love is the solution First off love is not a feeling or state of mind that diminish It's explained in 1 john 5:3 lets go by written For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. No they are not hard amen (hook)

Perfect 03:29
Malachi 2:6 Don't listen to that devil when he say cant nobody be perfect Christ said in Matthew 5:48 Be perfect like my father is Who said you couldn't do it Romans 1:25 somebody lied Who said you couldn't do it (verse 1) Yea I used to be what I was used to Straight class act, a few screws loose And I had a tough guy complex Carry thumper round niggas ain't want that Had a point to prove that I wasn't hoe made Cuz my momma raised me by her self Had to be the man when when I was just a boy had to learn to trust in myself So what that mean, I had to get dough By any means like Malcolm x spoke Cuz I'll be damn if I let em hit me all upside my head like Martin Luther king By the age 16, man I try to flex on scene So I Try connect with a team With a 22 and some green in the jeans I was king to the feens but it all was a dream because it all wasn't me, prolly didn't even see a g Then twan got caught with the piece. That's a small little piece that we all get to see when we chasing this paper the mark of the beast Either the cage or the grave that be our destiny Why we act like we can not even see Why we don't know where the hell we belong We prolong our oppression though our obsession (hook) I'm trying to live perfect I try and live perfect But everybody saying Nay You know it can't be done, You know where you come from You know the dirt you den done still I'm trying to live perfect Man who changed the truth, of what he came to do free Israel from these strangers. Said his law was void, and we can all enjoy what our heart desire With no quarrel. Like we can bang these sluts Or we can bang slugs and there's no recompense for it. Saying cool it cool it I'm too serious Like its all games saying ain't It just sport Nawl, Ain't we at the bottom all around the world Ain't we at the top of lists of things that's not desired Single parent, poverty, and bold face liars I den seen it all some say they the Messiah All the nations they despise us Cuz the blessings of highest Said Israel'll come together and set the world on fire With the truth of scripts In the midst of the north Where the pots are seething I can hear they heart stop Why they not breathing They was never alive living outside this word Prophecies being fulfilled, that's his word And he always show his self to me. Who? You know the word! And he told me it's still shelter for Israel They calling me shareef saying gone somewhere Trying to ridicule me I don't even really care Cuz the goal dwell where the Most High dwell If that ain't what you want, the only thing left is death (hook)

1 Bro 04:01
(hook) 1 bro, 2 bro 3 bro 4 I try to teach em bout The Lord but they don't want that growth They rather get a brick and break it down at the stove And pray they do it all again I swear they al so lost -repeat- (verse1) It was a point, in my life I thought that I was so cold That I could remedy it, just by buying a new fur coat A chinchilla, rock it while While I bake a brick at the stove I thought breaking down bricks Was the key to get on But all these other thoughts wouldn't leave me alone Like I could ball show em all I was king on a throne I also seen niggaz don't last long They have a short run then face jail or funeral homes I was Cleo with the vision, couldn't see that in my future So I took to a pad and tried pen my confusion All that appeared was an illusion Me advocating a life of delusion All of that hatred I blatant spew it Against my brother propagating More confusion And I had to keep it real, cuz that's the way I represent it. And Everything I said, I wanted y'all to know I meant it. Even if the statements brought my own death sentence Who cares long as y'all knew I was really bout that business So lost (hook) (verse 2) What we really need to do is uplift each other Why we stunt like we stunt that don't teach us nothing We see each other in the street, we don't speak to each other Just a stank eye, that's the way we greet one another You get emotional niggas all in they feelings They spend they whole day looking for a reason to spill it The reason that, blood spill go ask Caesar borgier That's ya grandmama god, see what he gotta say He can't save you, it's gone continue to be that way Cuz he that make, idols and then send them praise. The penalty paid is maze races groping at noonday Fear of everything have you bolting like usain Two thangs in ya life that'll set you straight Repent and live ya life according to His Way This ain't hard, it ain't easy either But it can be done, promise go ask Jesus.

None sense

about

The title of this album reflects the choice we are given as children of God, "to either do as he stated, or what you want, its your choice," -2016. Almighty, Yochannon. Deuteronomy 30:19 states specifically that it is our choosing of life or death that we have to come to grips with. The bible teaches against sleeping around, recreational drugs, murder, envying, lust, etc. (the big issues facing our community). It is those decisions that our people make on a day to day which contributes to their "death" or decay as a nation. This album reflects that choice, to do good or evil. This isn't an album however, it is a statement to say that we've had enough, we wanted answers to the problems we face as a nation and the bible has them written in plain sight for those of us willing and desiring true change. Help us push this truth throughout the four corners of the globe, purchase your copy today to help our efforts in bringing solutions to our people.
