(Verse 1)
(Duplicate of P.Diddy’s original verse wiht minor change)
What yall wanna do?
Wanna be ballers? shot-callers? Brawlers?
Who be dippin in the benz wit the spoilers
On the low from the jake in the taurus
Tryin to get my hands on some grants like Horace
Yeah livin the raw deal, three course meals
Spaghetti, fettucini, and veal
But still, everythings real in the field
And what you can’t have now, leave in your will
But don’t knock me for tryin to bury
Seven zeros, over in rio dijanery
Aint nobodys hero, but I wanna be heard
On your hot 9-7 everyday, thats my word
Swimmin’ in the pool at my own condiminium
Five plus fives,  I drive millineums
Its all about the benjamins, what? 

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Now ya gettin’ paid, Cash flowin’ like rhymes
Dolla dolla bills spendin’ quicker than a dime
Let me ask ya this  - Do ya give’ back
To the one who got ya paid
The one who built the stack
Whatcha gonna do? 
Do ya save up in Heaven?
With the one who getcha paid 24 to the 7
Cuz when ya time is up here
Ya can’t take the cash
So up with the Man yo
Is where ya need to stash!
If ya don’t give - ya miss on the Blessin
Ya need ta be like me - cuz ya see I ain’t stressin’
SinceI hit the tithe - Now my blessins like WHOAH
Everything is His- He get props for the dough

(Repeat Chorus)

Melinda and James- Rap it out and Rock it out together
Now… what yall wanna do?
Wanna be ballers? shot-callers? Brawlers?
Who be dippin in the benz wit the spoilers
On the low from the jake in the taurus

Now… what yall wanna do?
Wanna be ballers? shot-callers? Brawlers?
Who be dippin in the benz wit the spoilers
On the low from the jake in the taurus

JESUS YOU’RE MAKIN’ ME STRONGER
Remade to Kanye West - Stronger
(Chorus)
Those who got Jesus

He only makes us stronger
I need you to praise Him up now
And He

You know you’ve got to be saved now
Cuz  you can’t get much wronger
Man you been waitin’ ya whole life now
Jesus is workin on ya

Let’s Praise Him Right Now

(Verse 1)
Let’s Praise God today
You need to praise him up in every way
He’s the only one if ya need to Pray
And we don’t really care what the haters say
Awesome, the Savior we’re living for
Man they don’t make ‘em like Him anymore
I ask, cause I’m not sure
Does anybody else Praise God anymore?
You should praise God for His greatness
Cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored you should witness
If you ain’t been saved that’s your Business
So go ahead go nuts get saved sis
Jump on the Jesus train don’t hate this

You know he can tell
Don’t fake dis New
Gospel homey take six-,
and take this, Praisers!

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Now I don’t know if you got Da Man or not
If you made plans or not
God put me in the plans or not
I’m trippin’ cuz He been savin’ lots  
But I know that God put you in front of me
Praise God - don’t front on me
There’s a thousand you -there’s only one of me
I’m trippin’ I’m caught up in the moment right?
Cuz Jesus gets me all hyped
So Ima gon’ do everything that God like
Heard you’d do anything for a Klondike
Well I’d do anything to be in Gods light
So you should raise Him up in the limelight
And He’ll be comin’ back when the time’s right
 Jesus you’re makin’ me (harder, better, faster, stronger)

(Repeat Chorus)

Let’s Praise Him Right Now
Let’s Praise Him Right Now
You know He’s been workin’ on ya?
Since we been prayin’ for ya
Cuz he would never ignore ya
Don’t act like I never told ya

Pocket Full of Sunshine
(rap added to song performed by Natasha Beddingfield)
 Rap created for song for Storm Watch Series
 
A storm rolls in
What do I do

I wonder how

I’ll  make it through
My world gets dark
The thunder rolls
My life feels so
Out of control
Please take me God
So far away
Oh please find me
A better day
I turn to you
And there I find
My pocket’s full
Of your sunshine

Let the Praises Ring
 
(rap added to song performed by Lincoln Brewster)
I was lost
You found my heart
You cleaned me up
I got a brand new start
Lost in the dark
But now I’m in your light
Now things have never
Felt so right
You washed
away my every sin
From here is where
My life begins
My Lord My God
What do I do
Everything that I have
I found in you
I swear
Your wonders Never cease
My God how you give me
hope and peace
My God you are
My everything
C’mon everybody
Let the Praises Ring

JESUS YOU MAKE ME BETTER
Remade to You Make Me Better by Neyo/Fabolous

(Main chorus - performed by singer)

I’m a movement by myself

But I’m a force when we’re together
Jesus I’m good all by myself
But Jesus you - you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better
you make me better

Rap Verse 1
I was big game
I had it goin’ on
Lived a sinful life
And Yeah -I never saw the wrong
I was big baler bossing, all the time flossing
Caught up in the life that I was already lost in
Yeah yea…  yak put me up in my A game
w-w-w-  while giving Glory to your name
They, they, they, they, they may flame
Bu, Bu, Bu, but Jesus we burn it up
the sag in my swag
the pep in my step
Devil tries to seduce me Jesus intercepts
That’s just a G thing whenever we swing
Don’t need nobody else – cut Jesus He is THE King
 
(Repeat song chorus)

Verse 2
First thing’s first the God’s what i do
Everything I am He’s my influ
I’m already boss, I’m already fly
If i’m a star He is the sky
Ah,Ah,Ah, And when i feel like I’m on top
He, He, He, He give me reason to not stop
Eh, Eh, Eh,Eh, Eh, and though I’m hot
T-T-T- Together we burn it up
I was messed up, but He took me in
When all was said and done…Glroy to Him
He cleansed me of the wrong…he made me all good
Now I’m sittin’ on the top – like Tiger Woods
Eh,Eh,eh, and when I feel like I’m tired
Ma,Ma,Ma, ma Jesus be taking me higher
Ah,Ah,Ah,Ah,Ah,Ah, I’m on fire
Bu, bu, bu, but Jesus raise me up


(Repeat Chorus)  
 
(No music – acapella solo line by singer)
Behind every Christian is the Force of God…and with Him I will never be down 

Rap Verse 3
Give glory to God
He’s always got my back
He checks whereI go
He knows where I’m at
He rights all my wrong
So I’ll never slip
Shows me how to move that’s why I never trip
And Jesus His Word is so Major
Readin’ every page- jah
And you should give glory because He forgave ya
Prayin’ for anybody who hate da
The way that we praise Him up…What?

(Repeat chorus)

(Sing Out….)
I’m a movement by myself
But I’m a force when we’re together
Thought I was good all by myself

But Jesus you – you make me better!


Christmas Rap for O’Come All Ye Faithful (NHC)
(Verse 1)
Mary and Joseph
Tired and Worn
Looking for a place
For the child to be born
Not just any child, but The Miracle One
For the child that she carried
Was God’s own son
In Bethlehem
Only a manger they found
This would be the place
Where she laid down
And all of the Angels
Would soon rejoice
The Savior is born
Let us lift one voice!

(Verse 2)
Three Wise Men
They came from afar
How did they know?
They followed the star
That led them to Him
And that’s how they knew
That all that had been
Prophesized would be true
The Savior to all
Had come to this earth
One Holy night
Through a miracle birth
And they all bowed down
Before our King
And all the while
All the angels did sing!

My Baptism Poem turned Rap on the stage of NHC

For years I walked alone

Oh I was lost in this life

I realized all the wrong

But wasn’t searching for right

I walked a long broken path

A lifestyle tainted by sin

I didn’t shut Jesus out

But didn’t  invite him in

Until a day there came some friends

I know that He sent to me

To invite me to a place

And that was ”NHC”

Though I came as I was

I felt no guilt or no shame

And for the wrongs in my lfe

 No contempt and no blame

And there he came to my heart

And I was saved by a prayer

Saw I was never alone

For He had always been there

At first I stopped at the door

But I have finally walked in

Baptized – I am new

And now I’m worshipping Him
 Who bore my sins on that cross

Who died so that I could live

Who’s wanting so much for me

That all my sins he forgives

And now he reigns in a place

One day that I hope to see

But in the meantime His love

Forever rains upon me!
