OMG is a testimonial/hip-hop song, so I use these lyrics quite often when performing LIVE. I’ve had at least 5 beats (if not 10) under these lyrics. I decided to just create a beat around the words to help bring out the integrity of them. On a side note, I sampled John Piper’s sermon on Don’t Waste Your Life to end this song with a strong punctuation.
lyrics
All my life, I’ve been listening to music
wondering how to use it, anyway I choose it
no I wont abuse it, instead I’ll make it
take it for a test drive, and now I wont fake it
as soon as the brakes hit, I crash and burn
if I live to see the day, I will last my turn
the right turn is left, now take a breath
too many violations, escaping death
but, who will I be? Will I make a name
find some fame, or take the game
no I wont cheat, I’m a face defeat
I’m a musician, writing lyrics producing beats
because selling CDs is all I know
now haters all trying to stop my flow
what they don’t know, is I’m unstoppable
taking hip hop back, I make it possible
ALL MY LIFE I’VE BEEN STRUGGLING AND STRIVING
LOOKING FOR JESUS TO SIT RIGHT BESIDE HIM
NO I WONT DENY HIM, WE SHOULD ALL TRY HIM
THE FUTURE IS THEN, TAKE THE WHEEL IF YOU’RE DRIVING
I owe my God respect. For this very gift
use it to fight demons, till then is none left
captivate my listeners, with this ministry
purchase heavens jewel, if not; the sin is free
I think we need to find our selves before we care
I know we need to know ourselves before we share
darkness surrounds us - with its blinding ways
reach out for your father’s hand, and fall with grace
We’re 6 feet from our bed, a constant reminder
surrounded by life, just look right behind you
not such a surprise huh? Shouldn’t be blind duh?
Instead be a rider, and focus on this rhyme - What!
Is it a niche, no its my gift
don’t need to take the 5th, use my voice to uplift
give praise to the lord, and no its not a chore
I’ve said it all before, but now; this is war!
OWE MY GOD I’VE BEEN JUGGLING MY LIFE AND… LOOKING FOR JESUS TO SIT RIGHT BESIDE HIM
NO I WONT DENY HIM, WE SHOULD ALL TRY HIM
OUR FUTURE IS THEN, TAKE THE WHEEL IF YOU’RE DRIVING
SAY OWE MY GOD
SAY ALL MY LIFE
SAY I OWE MY GOD - ALL MY LIFE
