INSPIRED BY GOD
I been thinking ‘bout the good times,
been thinking ‘bout the fun,
Been a wandering in the darkness
and a wondering what’ve I done?
(repeat)
Feeding off the memories but memories fade and die,
Doom and gloom and darkness over head in an ever changing sky.
[Chorus]
Inspiration come, inspiration go,
Exactly where it go, aint no body know. x2
I hear the sound…. I hear the sound,
I hear the sound of the nightingale as it sits away up high,
Unaware of darkness looming, looming in the sky.
Riders on the backs of horses running from the storm,
No inspiration’s needed now we must be home by dawn!
Yeshua Adonai we love you!
People, people, people, people everywhere,
Hurrying, scurrying without a care.
People struggling to make ends meet
On their way to nowhere, walking in their sleep
people keep looking, people keep searching, searching to stay alive.
People keep looking, people keep searching, for that feeling good inside.
Are you searching for that feeling that feels good inside?
Are you searching for that feeling to make you stay alive?
Yo people!
What are you searching for?
Are you searching for inspiration?
Well I’ll tell you.
When you find your inspiration then take some good advice.
Are you inspired by good?
Are you inspired by bad?
Are you inspired by Jesus Christ?
God gave his Holy Spirit, inspiration to us all.
So don’t give up, just ask yourself,
What’s that inspiration for?
[Chorus]
Inspiration come, inspiration go,
Exactly where it go, aint no body know. x2
REALITY
We all spend our lives hiding from the realities to face us. We escape into distraction. Are you ready to face your Reality?
The dream generator keep on dreaming the dream.
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Reality, reality, it happen to you and it happen to me.
Reality, reality it happens to us all. X2
The dream generator is the major dominator,
Influencing the way of life.
You gotta keep dreaming, dreaming a dream,
A big car or a beautiful wife.
Hey there mister average what is your dream?
Are you just another dreaming fool?
Do you gamble, do you bet, are you a millionaire yet?
Do you dream about winning the pools?
Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
A yellow brick road showing you which way to go?
Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?
A yellow brick road showing you which way to go?
[Chorus]
If you dream about loving, then you dream about giving.
If you dream giving, then you dream about living.
If you dream about living, then you dream about lying
If you dream about lying, then you dream about crying.
If you dream about crying you dream about love!
Now reality happens to us all,
Just as pride comes before a fall.
Whether you dream or whether you don’t.
Whether you will or whether you won’t.
[Chorus]
Are you looking for a high, when you’re feeling low,
Escape into a chemical and life begins to glow.
It’s easy to say “yes”, but you’d rather answer no.
You’ve tried all of the rest, but this high is the best,
So why is there an element of doubt?
I’ll tell you now for why, cuz when you’re flying high,
You’re the one that’s really losing out!
[Chorus]
Are you a running and a hiding from the things you have seen?
Hiding your face in a video screen.
Take a look at the dream in your head if you can,
The dream in your head’s about a little man.
Are you a Mario or Sonic, Street Fighter Two,
Lost in a world where nothing is true?
. Are you a Mario or Sonic, Street Fighter Two,
Lost in a world where nothing is true?
Get real, stop dreaming a dream!
Get real, stop dreaming a dream!
Get real, stop dreaming a dream!
Get real and stop your dreaming!
Now there is the ultimate game,
With your helmet on it’s inside your brain.
But the helmet of salvation,
Is the helmet of the nation.
Virtual reality or reality that’s absolute,
The choice is yours,
put the helmet on and get to know the truth!
Get real you know what I’m saying!
Get real you know what I mean!
Get real you know what I’m praying!
Get real and stop your dreaming!
Get real you know what I’m saying!
Get real you know what I’m praying!

MASTER’s MC
Is it right to enjoy doing something with as much fun as performing on stage? This was the question that Brendan asked God one night, just before going to bed. Lying in bed, God now gave
Brendan these lyrics. As sleep crept in the lyrics crept out, so Brendan rushed to his desk and in less than ten minutes the song was penned. God said, “it’s OK for you to be an MC, you are my MC, but don’t forget, I am the Master.”

Ya’ll listen right now cuz they’ve given to me,
The microphone and a chance to be free.
If you listen to the words, the things I have to say,
The smart ones among you are sure to find the way,
Chorus: I’m the Master you see, of the ceremony
Now they’ve given me the MIC
I’m the Master you see, the Master’s MC
Check it out!
Now the Master of the Master’s MC
Is the Master himself, the Master JC
We all have a Master of some kind or another
But the Master I got, I can call my brother
The microphone and a chance to be free.

But the Master I got, I can call my brother
[Chorus]
Some people worship the colour TV
Listen to their music on the latest CD
There’s football, cricket, all kinds of sports
Going to the pub drinking beer and shorts
Maybe your master’s some kinda new drug
Or cigarettes, you’ve been hit by the bug.
You could have the master of crime,
Do time you slime and other words that rhyme
[Chorus]
So let me tell you bout the Master JC
He cares for you and he cares for me.
He’s with you at work, he’s with you at play,
He’ll tell you the truth, he’ll show you the way.
So if you’re sitting by the TV, or you’re sitting in the pub,
Remember Master JC, he’s the one that they call love.
If you’re feeling kinda lonesome and you want someone to care
Reach out to the Master, cause he is always there!
And that’s a fact!
[Chorus]
POETIC JUSTICE
Will our good works get us into Heaven? No! Were these songs created and performed in order to get into God’s good book and work my way into Heaven? Certainly not! We can all do good things in life, but there is only one way onto Heaven…
[Chorus]
If you could rap your way into Heaven.
If you could rap your way out of hell!
The whole world would be rapping,
The good the bad as well. [repeat]
You can’t try to justify the things that you still do.
You might die, might even fry, unless you find what’s true
So I rap, let’s rap, c’mon rap, let’s rap, GO!
If you are a kid or you are a child,
Get poetic get justice get reconciled
You gotta get in the light get poetic.
If you follow the dark you’re pathetic.
So I rap in time, I rap with rhyme,
but there’s something I’ve gotta say,
I rap for good and I rap for God
cuz there’s something I’ve gotta say
I rap for good and I rap for God
and I get down on my knees and pray.
When He speaks to me, it’s shear poetry,
but words just can’t explain.
The way that I feel, I know that God is real
so I rhyme in time again.
Though I’ve told you before I’ll tell you again.
I’ll tell you again and again and again.
I’ll keep telling you just as long as it takes,
You to realise we all make mistakes.
Rapping is easy, but you know it’s not the way.
You gotta pray to God in Heaven and this is what you say.
Please forgive me God for the things that I have done.
I believe in Jesus your one and only Son!
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
THE WORD
The Bible is the inspired word of God! The words in this book are the most powerful words ever written! Do I understand everything in the Word? No, but God does speak to me through His Word. Before I knew God, I didn’t understand anything in his Word, but now more of it makes sense. It’s like the more you get to know the author, the more you understand what He says. The Word is a seed and when it is planted in us… it grows…
Baby craving, craving baby, craving to be fed,
Gotta keep craving, gotta keep feeding, else you wind up dead!
Don’t matter if you’re rich, don’t matter if your poor.
Starvation hits the nation and it happens to us all.
[Chorus]
Gotta keep craving, gotta keep feeding, else you wind up dead!
Don’t matter if you’re rich, don’t matter if your poor.
Starvation hits the nation and it happens to us all.
[Chorus]
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word of the Lord
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word of my Lord God.
There’s a feeling of hunger deep inside,
I don’t wanna eat because of my pride.
But pride it comes before a fall,
That feeling of hunger happens to us all.
Satisfaction, satisfaction, never can get enough,
Of the right stuff, you know what I’m saying?
Nuff said I’ve said enough!
[Chorus]
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
You gotta water the seed!
But don’t get choked upon the weed!
Do you read or do you not?
You gotta water the seed when the sun is hot.
You gotta water the seed and let it grow.
You gotta water the seed and more seed sow!
Spiritual nourishment,
it’s the word of God, there’s no supplement.
If you feed the word, your spirit will grow,
Feed the spirit within and more seeds sow.
[Chorus]
If your feeding on the word, you get closer to the Lord.
Check it out this word is living.
So take a look inside, get a new start to life,
From a God that is forgiving.
Can’t judge a book by it’s cover,
get into the word you’ll discover.
There’s a God in Heaven that you can call Dad,
With a Son that you can call Brother.
[Chorus]
Baby craving, craving baby, craving to be fed,
Gotta keep craving, gotta keep feeding, else you wind up dead!
[repeat]
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word of the Lord
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word.
You gotta feed on the word of my Lord God.
There’s a feeling of hunger deep inside,
I don’t wanna eat because of my pride.
But pride it comes before a fall,
That feeling of hunger happens to us all.
Satisfaction, satisfaction, never can get enough,
Of the right stuff, you know what I’m saying?
Nuff said I’ve said enough!
[Chorus]
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
If you wanna feed, you gotta have a read!
You gotta water the seed!
But don’t get choked upon the weed!
Do you read or do you not?
You gotta water the seed when the sun is hot.
You gotta water the seed and let it grow.
You gotta water the seed and more seed sow!
Spiritual nourishment,
it’s the word of God, there’s no supplement.
If you feed the word, your spirit will grow,
Feed the spirit within and more seeds sow.
[Chorus]
If your feeding on the word, you get closer to the Lord.
Check it out this word is living.
So take a look inside, get a new start to life,
From a God that is forgiving.
Can’t judge a book by it’s cover,
get into the word you’ll discover.
There’s a God in Heaven that you can call Dad,
With a Son that you can call Brother.
[Chorus]
Baby craving, craving baby, craving to be fed,
Gotta keep craving, gotta keep feeding, else you wind up dead!

MYSTIFIED
Based on the “Footprints” poem, author unknown. We all need to be carried occasionally. Where will your dreams take you to?
God moves in a mysterious way… Mystified!
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I am mystified by the way you walk,
I am mystified by the way you talk,
I am mystified by the things you do
I am mystified by your love so true.
Sleeping in my bed, a dream inside my head,
A dream I do not really understand.
I see my feet go walking and you beside me talking,
Two pairs of footprints walking in the sand.
Walking in the sand, walking hand in hand,
Walking in the sands of time.
Walking hand in hand in the sands of time,
Listening to the voice with the words that rhyme.
[Chorus]
The footprints in the sand see them side by side,
The footprints in the sand they will never die.
Joined together in love, with a love that is above.
Joined to live and not to die in a love to mystify
When the going gets tough, I know that you are there,
When the going gets tough, I know you’re there to care.
When the going gets tough, feel you holding my hand,
When the going gets tough, see your feet in the sand.
In the struggles of life, the toil and strife,
When I’m feeling like there’s no one there to care.
I reach out for your hand and I look into the sand,
I’m all alone, there’s just my footprints there,
And I despair, where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
Where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
[Chorus]
I pray to my God, I cry to my Lord
Don’t desert me Father you gave me your word.
You left us your spirit to carry us through.
The bad times, the sad times, I know that you are true.
When I cry to you Lord, I cry from the heart,
You answer me saying you will never depart.
I know that you are always by my side,
I know that you are watching over me.
I know that you are always by my side,
With a love I know is gonna set me free.
[Chorus]
In your troubles and your struggles, when times are hard to hack,
Just look a little closer, you’ll see you’re on my back.
When all you see is one set of footprints in the sand,
The love of God will carry you and help you understand!
I am mystified… I am mystified… I am mystified…
I am mystified by the way you talk,
I am mystified by the things you do
I am mystified by your love so true.
Sleeping in my bed, a dream inside my head,
A dream I do not really understand.
I see my feet go walking and you beside me talking,
Two pairs of footprints walking in the sand.
Walking in the sand, walking hand in hand,
Walking in the sands of time.
Walking hand in hand in the sands of time,
Listening to the voice with the words that rhyme.
[Chorus]
The footprints in the sand see them side by side,
The footprints in the sand they will never die.
Joined together in love, with a love that is above.
Joined to live and not to die in a love to mystify
When the going gets tough, I know that you are there,
When the going gets tough, I know you’re there to care.
When the going gets tough, feel you holding my hand,
When the going gets tough, see your feet in the sand.
In the struggles of life, the toil and strife,
When I’m feeling like there’s no one there to care.
I reach out for your hand and I look into the sand,
I’m all alone, there’s just my footprints there,
And I despair, where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
Where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
[Chorus]
I pray to my God, I cry to my Lord
Don’t desert me Father you gave me your word.
You left us your spirit to carry us through.
The bad times, the sad times, I know that you are true.
When I cry to you Lord, I cry from the heart,
You answer me saying you will never depart.
I know that you are always by my side,
I know that you are watching over me.
I know that you are always by my side,
With a love I know is gonna set me free.
[Chorus]
In your troubles and your struggles, when times are hard to hack,
Just look a little closer, you’ll see you’re on my back.
When all you see is one set of footprints in the sand,
The love of God will carry you and help you understand!
I am mystified… I am mystified… I am mystified…
KEEP ON MOCKING
I once played the part of God in a piece of drama. I was on a microphone off stage, but when I came back out onto the stage, 300 young people were laughing. It seemed that they were laughing at me and not laughing with me. The Bible tells us that when we are persecuted for what we believe, God will bless us… so go ahead keep on mocking!
[Chorus]
Hear you laughing, laughing at me,
Laughing with a heart of misery.
See you mocking, mocking what I do,
You mocking bless me don’t you know it’s true!
[repeat]
What d’you think your laughing at now?
Gonna let us in on the joke?
Are you laughing at me? Are you laughing at him?
Are you laughing at some other bloke?
Everywhere I go, everything I do,
I hear the sound of laughter.
Faces smiling and fingers pointing people heading for disaster.
Nothing wrong with having a laugh.
Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.
If no one in the world ever had a laugh,
No work would ever get done.
If you have a laugh it aint that bad.
All work and no play it make Jack bad.
If you have a laugh it aint that bad.
All work and no play it make Jack bad.
[Chorus]
Just wait a while before you smile and ask the question ”why?”
Do you laugh at my belly?
Do you laugh cuz I’m smelly?
Can you look me in the eye?
When I ask you do you know what’s true?
Do you know what is a lie?
When I ask you are you laughing at me?
Are you laughing at the man in the sky?
[Chorus]
Are ya laughing by yourself?
Or ya laughing with your friends?
If ya laughing for a reason keep on laughing to the end.
If ya laughing by yourself?
Or ya laughing with your friends?
If ya laughing for a reason keep on laughing to the end.
If ya laughing cuz someone else does,
And you don’t want to look out of place.
Just think again, what your laughing about,
About the look upon my face.
If you laugh at me because I’m free,
All I feel for you is sorry.
They laughed at the Boss as they hung him on the cross,
All his thoughts for your tomorrow.
Laughing with a heart of misery.
See you mocking, mocking what I do,
You mocking bless me don’t you know it’s true!
[repeat]
What d’you think your laughing at now?
Gonna let us in on the joke?
Are you laughing at me? Are you laughing at him?
Are you laughing at some other bloke?
Everywhere I go, everything I do,
I hear the sound of laughter.
Faces smiling and fingers pointing people heading for disaster.
Nothing wrong with having a laugh.
Nothing wrong with a bit of fun.
If no one in the world ever had a laugh,
No work would ever get done.
If you have a laugh it aint that bad.
All work and no play it make Jack bad.
If you have a laugh it aint that bad.
All work and no play it make Jack bad.

Just wait a while before you smile and ask the question ”why?”
Do you laugh at my belly?
Do you laugh cuz I’m smelly?

Do you know what is a lie?
When I ask you are you laughing at me?
Are you laughing at the man in the sky?
[Chorus]
Are ya laughing by yourself?
Or ya laughing with your friends?
If ya laughing for a reason keep on laughing to the end.
If ya laughing by yourself?
Or ya laughing with your friends?
If ya laughing for a reason keep on laughing to the end.
If ya laughing cuz someone else does,
And you don’t want to look out of place.
Just think again, what your laughing about,
About the look upon my face.
If you laugh at me because I’m free,
All I feel for you is sorry.
They laughed at the Boss as they hung him on the cross,
All his thoughts for your tomorrow.
[Chorus]
Now this is nearly the end of this song,
Or the end of you if you wait too long.
Don’t laugh at me anymore,
You can laugh with me, you know the score.
Don’t have to be weak, like the rest of the sheep,
if you know what’s true.
You can be blessed, just forget the rest,
And let them laugh at you.
Blessed are those who are persecuted in my name. x4
Woe to you who laugh now,
For you will morn and weep. x2
Blessed are those who are persecuted in my name. x2
CROSS THE LINE
Jesus said, “you are either for me or against me and if you are not for me, then you must be against me.” Before becoming a Christian I felt that I was looking over an imaginary fence at loads of weird people. Those people, although they seemed a little weird, had something that I didn’t have. I soon became fed up with the emptiness of life and just looking over that fence. On 5th May 1986I jumped over that fence, I crossed the line, I invited Jesus into my life…
[Chorus] There’s no time to wait!
No more hesitate!
Think about it no more time,
Jump up step out and cross the line!
Check it out this life of ups and downs,
Of in and outs and merry-go-rounds.
A life of good, a life of bad,
A life of happy sad and mad!
Some people are crazy, some just lazy!
Work hard, play hard, live hard, die hard.
Filthy dirty, squeaky clean,
All questions and answers, you know what I mean.
[Chorus]
Black or white, short or tall,
Fat or thin, or large or small.
God loves you all.
God loves you all.
Summer, winter, rain or shine,
You gotta get on up and cross the line.
Get up a, get down.
Some things are happening, but some things aint,
Do you know what happens to all wet paint?
Starts off wet, but it ends up dry,
You gotta cross the line if you don’t wanna die.
Now I’ll explain to you the words of this song,
Some things are right, some things are wrong.
One hand is left, the other is right,
Work all day and sleep all night!
[Chorus]
Now the words of this song that I rap to you
is communication through and through.
You may not understand it, but you know what to do,
Get rid of the false and follow the true.
The truth that I am talking about,
Is the kind of truth that leaves no doubt.
No doubt of what is in your mind,
Jump up step out and cross the line.
[Chorus]
No more hesitate!
Think about it no more time,
Jump up step out and cross the line!
Check it out this life of ups and downs,
Of in and outs and merry-go-rounds.
A life of good, a life of bad,
A life of happy sad and mad!
Some people are crazy, some just lazy!
Work hard, play hard, live hard, die hard.
Filthy dirty, squeaky clean,
All questions and answers, you know what I mean.
[Chorus]
Black or white, short or tall,
Fat or thin, or large or small.
God loves you all.
God loves you all.
Summer, winter, rain or shine,
You gotta get on up and cross the line.
Get up a, get down.
Some things are happening, but some things aint,
Do you know what happens to all wet paint?
Starts off wet, but it ends up dry,
You gotta cross the line if you don’t wanna die.
Now I’ll explain to you the words of this song,
Some things are right, some things are wrong.
One hand is left, the other is right,
Work all day and sleep all night!
[Chorus]
Now the words of this song that I rap to you
is communication through and through.
You may not understand it, but you know what to do,
Get rid of the false and follow the true.
The truth that I am talking about,

No doubt of what is in your mind,
Jump up step out and cross the line.
[Chorus]
