Please Enjoy The Music Verse 1 B.L.A.D.E. You might like me if I sound like Ice T/ But my theme is doing the right thing like Spike Lee/ Still cool like Iced Tea, still reppin’ nicely/ No disrespect to those that get hyphy in white tees/ Or wife beats, Nikes, that’s tight G/ But all that don’t excite me, it’s Christ chief/ The reason why I’m a mic beast/ The High Priest of whom Imma speak of highly/ Besides me, I got a dude that stands behind me/ We timely in bringin’ Christ’s theme to the rhyme scene/ Two cats with rhyme heat to make a fine team/ He’ll introduce himself, so let me define me/ Take the word Be, and put “lad” in the middle/ I’m that chocolate skinned brotha who always be eatin’ Skittles/ My friends call me dawg but I don’t like Kibbles/ I’m from the valley so I don’t do the thizzle,/ Yessir! Verse 2 Erupt ONE Forget the hyphae movement/ its Christ we moving/ taking hip-hop to the streets with the right influence/ to keep your minds in tuned with/ Christ with music/ something you can bump the type you like to cruise with/ groove with the sound of supplies you truth with/ each line we spit mixed with rhymes we use it/ to glorify our dad with more Kraft then Cool Whip/ dudes with the skills that give chills to prove it/ with Christ the blueprint for you and me/ we speak life through the booth so the youth can see/ that Christ gets you higher than Ice Cube and Mike Epps so mic check 1-2-1-3/ I'm that E-R-U-P-T/ from the group D-T/-C we be two dudes with heat/ but truthfully we're just some tools you see/ with Christ in control he's the true MC.

Devoted To Christ Verse 1 Erupt ONE You can call us Devoted to Christ/ or call us Loaded with Life/ we’re just exposin’ Him like film when you hold it light/ like a bright night light glows in the night/ we promote the Christ side like Flo and his wife/ known for showin' our light not for the show or the lights/ once we throw in we the mic/ we’ll still be showin’ the lights/ so know that the flows that we write/ are not to show that we’re nice/ but despite the adversity we’re Devoted to Christ/ B.L.A.D.E. I’m devoted committed and I’m promotin’ the risen/ Lamb with flows that He’s given/ Both of these Christians/ we let you know what you’re missin’/ Like swimmin’ no boat you’re fishin’/ put you on notice this isn’t/ The norm the notion is different/ focus not Jordan it’s Pippen/ Not bound by voter’s decisions/ we know we’re chose in this gifting/ So now you know the One lifted/ We not gon’ show up just spittin’/ We not gon’ blow up while rippin’/ Got a motive it’s gettin’ you and God together like motors and pistons/ Hook We devote our writin’ our rhyme Our life and our time We’re brides of the Christ Our eyes on the prize Our sight on the skies So let this song get a hold of you Who are you devoted to? (Repeat) Verse 2 B.L.A.D.E. & Erupt ONE We’re not the main attraction/ It’s not a game it’s passion/ Present Christ the Captain/ Who gives life everlastin’/ Called like the 12 way back when/ To keep you out the hell you’re trapped in/ We’re like the Hulk, we’re smashin’/ Work while most are relaxin’/ In the Son we’re baskin’/ Priorities in orderly fashion/ With prayer and fastin’/ No more players and mackin’/ Our lyrics are closed captioned/ So the hard heads know what’s happenin’/ Engrave it til you’re fascinated to His actions/ There’s a method to our madness blessed to speak with gladness/ Bringin’ light to blackness, being Christ we practice/ Record convicted badmen, better cuz we let Dad in/ Together we make it happen, you can bet we’re saved and rappin’/ Letter of love our rap is whether it’s ghetto accent/ Deliver Jesus like a package believe us He’s the access/ He’s the key that gets you past the sin that makes you backflip/ Peace and joy never lackin’ we’re employed to get it crackin’ Hook 2x Verse 3 Erupt ONE & B.L.A.D.E. King of the Jews/ The Way and the Truth/ The Bridegroom/ Lion of the tribe of Juda, God of the old and the youth/ He’s the Author and Finisher/ Father and Minister/ He’s the Amen of all men, King of Kings/ The Dayspring, He can teach/ He can redeem, He’s the Prince of Peace/ High Priest, Why, He’s the Almighty/ Head of the Church, The Word, Wonderful Counselor/ The Door, the Lord, The Bright Star in the morn/ The Prophet, the Rock that you couldn’t cast lots with/ The Advocate, makes your sins immaculate/ From the branch to the True Vine/ Gives you a chance, become new wine/ Advance in the faith, see your change in due time/ Creator who loves us/ Mediator who judges/ He’s the Savior beloved/ Anchor and never budges/ The God of Abraham, Jacob and Samuel/ Immanuel, Father of David and Daniel/ Hook 2x

Where Would I Be? Verse 1 Erupt ONE Don’t gotta think hard to know without Christ/ My life would retard not mentally challenged, Just me challengin’ to be hard/ with a weak heart/ Cuz the fact I’d lack my sweetheart/ Our relationship is 3 parts/ without Him we would depart/ Like De Barge you remember back in the eighties/ Or maybe I’d be married daily mackin’ wit ladies/ Lackin’ amazing love maybe a bum asking for change please/ you might relate cuz you’re trapped in the same thing/ or waist deep nah, drowning in sin/ down wit no ends down with no friends downing the gin/ in and out of the pen/ Or stuck doin’ time/ or maybe that’s not the case I might be doin’ fine/ financially stable able to hold my own/ own a home with a nice wife but when no one’s home/ Feelin’ so alone thinking suicide/ Cuz a life without Christ I’d rather choose to die. Hook: Where would I be? If I never accepted Christ Where would I be? If I never reflected Christ Where would I be? If I never accepted Christ Who paid the price for my sins and saved my life 2x Verse 2 B.L.A.D.E. I’d be in and out of datin’ relationships be datin’ chicks/ I had no business makin’ relations with/ Stationed in the grips of Satan and sin/ While he was patiently waitin’ for your man David to slip/ I’d be facin’ 10 for takin’ men’s possessions/ Something I was obsessed wit upset I didn’t possess it/ so, Breaking and entering the mistake I was entering/ Centering my inner being on sin that shouldn’t a entered me/ yep I was runnin’ rampant takin’ my chances/ Tryna do it myself like Jackie Chan flicks/ All fun and games horsin’ around like equestrian/ No stop for givin’ God props just like a thespian/ On Satan’s squad erasin’ God from the runnin’/ I’m runnin’ from my callin’ out ballin’ #1 stunnin’/ But suddenly He wanted me would run to me but I would be/ involved in things that were so wrong but fun to me. (Hook 2x) Verse 3 A-ONE A yo if he never came into my L I F E/ gee let me think where could I where would I be/ possibly committing robbery cause I'm broke as a joke/ stealing people's property or on the corner with dope/ on the brink of suicide bout to hang myself with a rope/ all stressed out sucked up and strong out on coke/ and I don't want to be there/ nope I thank God that I'm here cause I don't want to be dead/ I think God I got the knowledge of the blood that he shed/ I might have been a pothead still staying with Grandma/ or cuz I popped lead playin that handball/ doin time for adolescent crimes committed/ possibly set up by enemies I aint did it/ just in the wrong place at the wrong time/ with the wrong mind/ trynna hustle till its all mine/ possibly just thinking I'm the greatest of all time/ (Hook 2x)

Power of God Verse 1 B.L.A.D.E. Who do you trust to let there be light and you can see/ Who picked up dust shaped it all right and came the human being/ to exist (amazed)/ The whole world took Him six days/ And He rested on the seventh like a sick dame in the sixth grade/ Mistake ask Pharoah and his slaves about the ten plagues/ But greater works shall you do follow the template/ If you got faith than you shake the devil’s weights/ that Satan’s making start breakin’ chains and takin’ names cuz J said use His name/ Erupt ONE He can use a stick to split the Red Sea in two/ Believe it’s true faith it’s what you need to use/ God sent His only son to die for me and you/ So you know that my goal is to plant His seed in you/ Read the truth you’ll find He turned water into wine/ Healed the sick and was quick He gave sight to the blind/ Christ is like the flu His love is contagious/ Nailed to the cross so His blood can save us/ (Hook 2x) Verse 2 B.L.A.D.E. Who can have your whole thinkin’ game flipped like a hypnotizer/ Name ringin’ 2 thou strong like the Energizer/ Star of the show like Sajak/ Man He’ll wipe your sins clean like some clothes bleached with Ajax/ Way back when it was mysterious like nemesis/ He was in the game from beginning like Genesis/ He is the First the Last the Infinite/ Don’t start til He do it don’t end til He finish/ Erupt ONE He’s the Alpha and Omega the start into infinity/ Father, Son and Holy Spirit 3 parts the Holy Trinity/ He knows your thoughts and thoughts to come/ Can turn your some to lots and your lots to some/ Don’t look to me cuz I’m not the one/ He loves you no matter what block your from/ He’s the Christ the One that calms the winds and the waves/ He changes lives and does it in magnificent ways/ (Hook 2x) Verse 3 B.L.A.D.E. Created from a bag of dirt new invention like a tagless shirt/ In God’s image so I’m Dad on earth/ My worth to put a pen and pad to work/ To bless tracks that gives facts about my Dad and His works/ Who gave Einstein the mind to multiply/ And give Ben Frank power to electrify/ Houdini magnifies math it simplifies/ But the mastermind behind the finest things in life is Christ/ Erupt ONE Son of God created Adam and Eve the land and the sea/ Take shackles from feet let you stand and be free/ Understand and believe with He all things are possible/ You got permanent sins only Christ can make em washable/ B.L.A.D.E. Unstoppable He made the impossible probable/ And thou art exalted above all like in Chronicles/ My honest goal show you the power of the Honorable/ Judge of this genre of rappers makin’ the honor roll/ (Hook 2x) Verse 4 B.L.A.D.E. If you just trust in Me/ and you have faith the size of a mustard seed/ Move a mountain or a molehill just believe/ keep busted knees/ I’ll show you miracles like turnin’ rocks to cuts of beef/ Erupt ONE Look at Peter He stepped out the boat and then walked/ Elisha took an axe and made it float to the top/ of the water, that’s odd, no that’s the power of God/ So get up make some noise give Him your loudest applause/ For all have sinned and fallen short but God can snatch it/ Through it to the sea’s floor with Sponge Bob and Patrick/ We’re crafted into his significant plan/ He’s omnipotent, more than a magnificent man/ He created me, knows every inch of this man/ from the hair count on my head to all the prints in my hands/ B.L.A.D.E. It’s not Allah Bhudda or Confucious I’m confused with/ I’m tuned in the One Who made the earth wit two fists/ (Hook2x)

Flying Solo Verse 1 B.L.A.D.E. I thought I was the golden goose like chicken/ Livin’ loose like split ends/ Around my neck I carried a noose like lynchings/ Hung up, cuz your dude liked sinnin’/ Spent a few nights dippin’ in the pool like fishin’/ I was dissin’ the truth I liked fiction/ I knew Christ’s mission but refused right livin’/ It was my way of livin’ my way I was livin’/ Not givin’ thought that in my way I was sinnin’/ Causin’ deep friction, God and me distant/ Without rent, repent, causin’ eviction/ Pause and please listen/ You can have the job or the cars with Sprees spinnin’/ But drop God you’re cemented/ stuck, With a whole lotta gain but your souls hot in flames/ So your soul’s gotta change/ (Look) I took the solo in it found out there was no hope in it I folded repented took the plan wit rollover minutes and push Hook Solo livin’ gave us so low livin’ We would push We elevated cuz in Christ we delegated We would push (Repeat) Verse 2 Erupt ONE Never was the kind of guy to lie and say I had what I didn’t/ I didn’t have much I was fightin’ to fit in/ Fightin’ the feelings of life, feelin’ like life/ dealt some bad cards, not dealin’ em’ right/ Not flyin’ I was fallin’ not tryna find my callin'/ hiding behind my drawings not crying I held it all in/ -side full of pride yet shy and always stallin’/ To step out, I let doubt rise, I threw the towel in/ With lies I was tellin’ to disguise the pain/ a time for change was needed my eyes became/ Blind no time for hindsight in line for fame/ Tryna find the limelight despite the pain/ Til’ Christ became my focus claimed the light/ Christ got me noticin’ the change in life/ Now I’m flamin’ the mic on stage with a Knight/ (Knights) Opened the book and all it took for me to look was just a push.
