about

The instrumental was composed for my first album; Prelude 2 Tearz, but I cannot recall if I had any lyrics for it. I wrote a Rap/Worship song, which is similar to Pre Med with the Testimony versus Question culture scenario. This time I question how a musician should display the gospel in this world. Do we want to make music that the world loves, and just change the words, so it is Good News? Or do we want to make music that is lyrically insightful and appealing and bless them with Gospel Music too!? We don’t want our message falling on deaf ears.

lyrics

Just another man with a quarter century
Mexican but I can’t afford the sin or beef
Portugee American I swear I am born to speak
pork n cheese eating nothing but warm n sweet
spiritual food, or just a lyrical dude
I’m feeling so cool, in the shade so rude
I pray I’m a tool used by the body of Christ
listen to his music its sugar n spice
use it to cook and feed it to all
is he just a man or was he once called
to be a minister with rhythm and poetry
who is this man o yeah, you know its me
I’m a surgeon for Christ, a sinner reborn
I live for him! Call me Chris Treborn
this song I’ll play for them but is it hip-hop?
Or contemporary Christian will it flip flop?


(I fight for him now, never throw in the towel)
(If I fall down get back up as I growl)
Should it be hype, should it excite
should it be nice, should it be Christ
could it be loud, could we stand proud
could we stand out or just please the crowd?
It’s a new day to sing some praise
it’s a new day to live in his grace
it’s a new day to bless his name
this is the day to get your arms raised!

(We all know our life has changed)

(Today is the day it will never be the same)

Who is the person, who once was searching
seeking and believing bleeding and hurting
praying for purpose, exploring earth surface
saying I’m worthless just isn’t worth it
heaven-sent maybe, living it crazy
money’s not an option, loving is hazy
what is it that pays me, blessings and gifts
I pray for your soul, so I’m stressing on this
too many lost, don’t know the costs
he paid for it all, so now who’s the boss
and he’s the man, as for his plan
it will carry out, please understand
we are victorious, over joyous and sealed
delivered and saved, now we’re spirit filled
our flesh has been killed, over came
as for the king of kings we know he reigns

Hands up yes / stand up yes
man up yes / living life blessed
blast sound yes / bow down yes
cast crowns yes / loving life best
one last time / one last rhyme
one last dime / no more crime
one last find / one last mind
one last bind / no more grime
