DeAD (after death)
Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris
Recorded by: J.Perry at Gemtraxx Studios
Hook:
I used to be Satan’s slave
I used to be buried in that grave
I used to be without an escape
Hey! But I got a new identity now
Everyday I’m looking more like I’m God’s child
Pre Verse:
I die daily funerals in the morning
But it’s looking like a jazz funeral from New Orleans
People are celebrating handkerchiefs are waving
A how lot of dancing while the music playing
Celebrate the death of my flesh with no sorrow
Wake up and do the same thing tomorrow
Verse:
My flesh trying to kill me so I got to off him
Wrestle with him stuff him in that coffin
Shut that lid I’m done with that low living
Plus in Christ I know I am forgiven
Black suit on him R I P homie
Grateful for what the apostle Paul showed me
I die daily every twenty-four hours
Every one thousand four hundred and forty minutes
I’m about that word – that’s my flesh’s death sentence
Get it? Got it! Good? Well then good ridings
To the untrained eye it’s looking like suicide
Call it a homicide a mercy killing
I’m the victim the witness and the one who did it
Right hand in there air Yup! I plead guilty
But you got to understand judge he was trying to kill me
So really it was self-defense
I call it spirit defense
You see my spirit depends, on the death of him
No it’s not the end; really it’s the beginning
The start of what Christ finished
Every morning its like I’m making funeral arrangements
Picking out a tombstone burial plot payments
You and me fighting leads to eulogy writing
That eulogy is for you not me
My flesh is D E A D!

Verse:
Good morning good night good afternoon
Where ever this album may find you?
I’m grateful we get to spend this time together
Golden moments treasures
Family friends and peers
Thank you for the time I have to pull on your ears
I’m there! Right near my savior’s feet
The one who repaired the breach
And made it so God and us can speak
The cleft of the rock I’m in
Cause the glory of God won’t tolerate sin
He’s got to cover my eyes while it pass by
But that was Moses though!
O by the way I’m from the home of Moses Malone
The same streets Dr. Huxtable walked on
Sylvester Stallone shot Rocky here
Not the fourth of July sparks still fly in the air
Yeah! I know sad sight right?
Got me praying for my city on some nights
But it aint all bad I got a few gripes
But I’m fortunate cause I do not conform
A renewed mind is what I flaunt
Got to go to the scripture for them
And I’m pointing to Romans chapter twelve verse two
Now that’s food – feed to me by my Heavenly Father
My earthly father gave me fu-fu and groundnut soup
Boiled yams plantains and okra stew
I’m on the horn with my father
He’s putting me up on the current events in Accra
Then he switch and start speaking that Twi to me
I smile overlooking the way he treated me
No hate just some hard feelings on my plate
For the things he did and the marks he put on Momma’s face
But we all make mistakes
And I see him coming to grips with his sins
So if God is willing how can I not forgive him
I’M MOVING FORWARD!

Rescued by Death
Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris
Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios
Verse:
I’m going to say that E G O means to ease God out
And that’s what the whole thing in the garden was about
The Adams family thought hey knew better than God did
I’m going to make this plain- imagine a plane without a pilot in the cockpit
(Look out below).
But back to Adam and Eve though
See everything was always good like a Mark Price free throw
(Swish).
But then the switch in the mind of men
And that would forever change our environment
See my mental is detrimental
And I’m talking in first person cause I had that same Adam nature too
God created us in his image
And we – We took that baton and ran with it
Came up with our own doctrine and religions
Tried to take Christ out and put something else in it
But nothing wont fit though
You know!
Hook:
I remember when I was yet a sinner
Christ came and died
You rescued me
I was out there didn’t even really care
Christ came and died
You set me free
Reminisce on my sheer ignorance
Christ came and died
You rescued me
I recall I was off of the wall
Christ came and died
You set me free
Verse:
God look at how they are twisting your words up
Trying to get us to not see it as murder
It wears a mask called pro choice
Mattie nineteen fourteen “Forbid them not” that’s your voice
Chance I’m confused it’s all of these different faiths
Christ died and then rose- what’s to debate?
I’m on the side of a living and true God
I don’t respond to their hoaxes and hoopla
Jesus is the cornerstone- there are no clones
Archaeologist are still trying to find his bones
Silly men there are no bones to find
Ego tricks for a feeble mind
Me I’m feeling fine
I’m just letting that word work
I can see so much clearer
The smoke is gone – I done kicked cracks in all of their mirrors
You cant boo-boo the fool me
You know!
Hook:
I remember when I was yet a sinner
Christ came and died
You rescued me
I was out there didn’t even really care
Christ came and died
You set me free
Reminisce on my sheer ignorance
Christ came and died
You rescued me
I recall I was off of the wall
Christ came and died
You set me free
Chant:
Gone, gone, gone
My ego left it is gone!
Gone, gone
My pride done left it is gone
Gone, gone
My doubts done left they are gone
Gone, gone
My fears done left they are gone
Hook:
I remember when I was yet a sinner

Word & Walls feat. Society Park
Written by: C.Frempong, K.Harris, L.Dixon,E.Hicks,J.Mack
Recorded by: C.Frempong and L.Dixon at G.O.T Music Studios
Verse:
I apply those things that the word has taught me
If I don’t then the effects could be costly
And it could cost me something more then money
Enemy is trying to take my salvation from me
The thief comes just to steal kill and destroy
Christ came with an abundant life to enjoy
Call him good shepherd
I only listen to one voice one message
(Yeah)
When the Lord starts speaking I remain mute
Close the program and then reboot
Restart restore put it back up brick by brick and reinforce the walls
The walls wasn’t put up to keep God in
It was put up for the people of God’s protection
My preference I’d rather have God as an ally
You know me and him fighting on the same side
Hook:
Through your words
I have learned- if I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls
I have learned
If I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls
Verse:
I’m also a student of the word
Following the way will help me to better serve
Overcome any urge
I see it in the “is” and not just what occurred
The spirit brings to memory everything that I’ve heard
Everything that I’ve learned
Its nothing I deserve or can even attempt to earn
Either way I win through the casket or the urn
When I’m raised with the rest by the savior who returns
I’m longer bound by the walls
The gratifying feeling I get when the crowd applauds
The need to be a king – I don’t need a crown at all
I have truly been redeem from the children of the fall
I’m a man of forgiveness
Who stands as a witness
With understanding and wisdom to make sound decisions
Seeking the word daily in order to stay consistent
Practice makes perfect my heart is being conditioned
Hook:
Through your words
I have learned- if I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls
I have learned
If I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls
Chant:
We about that word (16x)
Hook:
Through your words
I have learned- if I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls
I have learned
If I live with no govern
I’m like a city without walls

More (Will of God)
Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris
Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios
Hook:
I don’t front and play the role acting like I’m sin-less
Just in Christ I choose to sin less
And glorify God more
More (12x)
Verse:
See I aint tripping cousin I aint different
I aint got something that you cant have
My sin weighed on me heavy like two sandbags
One bag was guilt the other one was shame
Listening to the enemy so I was partly to blame
I was believing those lies slice of the devil’s pie
Feeding myself not help but harm poison straight up
Poured in a Styrofoam cup
Plus I’d bring that stuff around me
I spoke foully primarily about me
Its deep dog
Somewhere back there I detour
I had to detox
Tell myself to STOP!
And start on that Christ diet
Meaning I’m alright after dying
So I got to go and tell my cousin the good news
And offer him some kind of comfort for the stuff his going through
Hook:
I don’t front and play the role acting like I’m sin-less
Just in Christ I choose to sin less
And glorify God more
More (12x)
Verse:
My visions big bifocal lens
I can see things clear now no squinting
James Allen got me thinking
Tool of thought shapes what it is that he will’s
Brings forth a thousand joys and a thousand ills
I was so sick back then
Lost power but then I plugged back in
The battery in my back has been recharged
I’m gone from the world- tell them I said “auravaa”
Send them a post card from this post life
I remember this life with no Christ
Things are a whole lot better now that I know Christ
I’ve got the knowledge of him
I can avoid that eternal oven
I’m cooking up a plan to try and reach my cousin
Simply put just because I love him
Hook:
I don’t front and play the role acting like I’m sin-less
Just in Christ I choose to sin less
And glorify God more
More (12x)
Bridge:
You know
What is it that you know?
What is it that you know?
I know that I’m saved by him (2x)
You know (That blood of Christ)
What is it that you know? (That love of Christ)
What is it that you know? (I am healed by his stripes) (2x)

Standing Ovation: Hallelujah
Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris
Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios
Verse:
All applause to the king on high
I reserve my high praise for Yahweh
My hallelujah’s are for him only
So I have to shout it shout it from the top of the highest mountains
More so when I’m in that valley low
I give the text a sound like Morse code
You know dash-dash-dot, dash-dash-dash, dash-dot-dot
Translation God
I was the dude who kept his composure and played it cool
That was probably because I really didn’t have a clue
Of Christ and his salvific work
Crucified on a cross that I deserved
You got the cross and I got off
You would have been totally right just to leave me lost
But you said naw and interceded
But I took your name in vain- intravenous
So now I’m screaming your name till I’m inconvienced
Glory glory! - I leave to tell your story
Scar on my forearm tell you that I’ve been somewhere
But you came and rescued me from my despair
When I felt like my counsel disappeared
Hebrews thirteen five you were always there
See so worship is a must
God’s love is like Neosporin in a cut
And most of my wounds are healed up
And the ones that aren’t I expose for God to touch
Hook:
Lord I exalt ya
Got to lift your name up higher, higher (yeah)
And I’m looking for food to fuel the fire (yeah)
(Lord we give your all the glory and all the honor
Standing ovation for you)
Verse:
All applause to the king on high
I reserve my high praise for Yahweh
My hallelujah’s are for him only
So I have to shout it shout it
See the pastor preaching in the pulpit
Aint the reason I’m sitting in the pew losing it
When I offer up my high praise
It aint for the choir or the way the keyboard’s played
I’m mean the band members are nice and all
But none of them took them three nails on the cross
A major! Win only Christ played that chord
I give him my applause- I give him all the glory he deserves it off
Glory to the lamb
You heard that FAM
So if it aint looking like what the word is saying
I don’t watch brother I switch the program
Hook:
Lord I exalt ya
Got to lift your name up higher, higher (yeah)
And I’m looking for food to fuel the fire (yeah) (2x)
(Father God I cant claim none of this
I’m only alive cause of your mercy
I only got something because of your grace
You saw fit to give me everlasting life when I deserved hell
Standing ovation for you)

Porcelain feat. Eshon Burgundy
Written by: C.Frempong, A.Hairston, K.Harris
Recorded by: A.Hairston at Good Look Multimedia Studios
Kbeatz!
Hook:
You put me in the fire for however long
Till all of my desire and my treasure gone
Till my so called power is devoured by the current circumstance
And I’m forced to throw up my hands
Outsiders inquire what kind of tip i'm on
Like they aint never seen a man get his submission on
When I think about everything that it cost him
Man! I must have cost a fortune PORCELAIN!
Verse:
I’m on my prime time grind like nightline
Grip the instrumental through the pencil like a python
Squeezing till my breathing is coming through the pipeline
Wheezing but I still keep speaking as long as my mic on
Heart of a lion reconstructed and redeemed yo
Know the boy saved you can tell it by my lingo
Holiness wholeness restored fellowship
Boldness
Feed the poor check it as benevolence
Encouraged the celibate
Warn the promiscuous
Celebrate the father’s who navigate their descendants
I’m pro-life
What if it was your life?
Instant renewer of the mind
The paradigm has shifted
More promise then Keith Murray had in the beginning
More honest then truth serum
I’m batting ever inning
When I hit them its in the clouds with the fowl of the air (Yeah)
Flying through the firmament it’s permanently there
Pardon me just let me take a moment simply to declare
He is God he is how he is who he is where
He the truth and the dare
And you can never shake him
He coming after one and leave the ninety-nine waiting
Now how am I hating with this analzation
Cause I glamorize a God that makes a man deny Satan
Say I’m blood bought I meant it- that aint just a fly statement
Don’t look at me like you don’t see the picture that I’m painting
You got eyes you got ears
You aint blind you can hear
Verse:
Get them hands up in the ear
Leave them there for just a moment
But the moment aint mine though
Got to remain mindful of Hebrews 5:4
Yes! I’ll follow
Every morning I’m at the feet of my high priest
Throwing prayers up
Yup! Our God’s great
We were living in New Jersey that garden state
Christ was the means to get us back on his team
Check second Samuel fourteen fourteen
Instead of forsaken I was forgiven
Fortunately God aint stick a fork in him
I deserve a pitchfork for the things I thought
I deserve to be sold out but i'm blood bought
Christ came to reconcile us back to God
And give us a get out of hell free card
And the word says the wages of sin are death
So since I did not pay that debt
I’m just going to praise him till his ears go deaf
Or my voice goes horse first
I offer my praise up first sort of like hors d’oeuvers
And adhere to my master’s orders
See originally I was like his enemy
I wretched dude before I rescued
So I guess Lord what I’m trying to say is thank you

Kingdom Acapella
Written by: C.Frempong
Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios
Verse:
Got my eyes all focused on the kingdom
You wouldn’t think it with the life I came from
Never got into the street stuff too much
Never sold drugs cause I never had the heart to
A quote UN quote-good dude
And I’m thinking to myself like yeah I’m alright too
I would toot my horn cause I thought I was living wrong
Wasn’t it good enough that I wasn’t a drug dealer?
I mean I didn’t have sex with any other chic when I was with her
I had friends and cousins who were out there
The life that they lived even gave me nightmares
Fresh pair of white Nike airs
Looking fresh with my fresh cut hair
I was doing ok based on what the world would say
But hold up what does the word say
See the text told me
That technically I was a sinner too (Romans three twenty-three)
I mean I was the worst kind of sinner
The sinner who thought he was right
But then I got humble one night
I remember it (yeah) its HD clear
It was a pretty ugly scene
Both pretty and ugly know what a mean?
From that moment on I’ve been transformed
Reborn re-dedicated and by grace
I am RE-INSTATED! (Yeah)

Verse:
I’m leaning on the Lord Proverbs three five
My own understanding had me ruining my life (life)
But then God hit the re-route
Chuck deuces to the sinning told some friends I had to be out
I am beyond
What they be on
Got to cut it out
Saved like a coupon
Redeemed- the blood of Christ did it
I different I can feel it- New mind under that fitted
I am feeling like a failure
Sinner’s paraphernalia
Gone! Strung out on that drug called shame
The pain got me tripping
And not thinking like a Christian
I am flipping to second Corinthians ten five

I copy ten four
You’re coming in loud yup! Crystal clear
I had too much Christopher Wallace playing in my ears
Now the volume on your voice is turned up up up up

Verse:
The devil got to scurry when I scream that name
One name under heaven that men have to save by
Screaming goodbye- to the old me
And hi to the capital G O D
Christ opened the lane so lets celebrate
And live the type of light the devil hates
Yeah I know dude the feels mutual
You hate me and I hate you too
But I got a big brother who already beat the bully up
Proving you do not possess a thing that can harm us
I’m draped down in that armor armor
Helmet on check breastplate on my chest
And that gospel on my feet to make sure I’m in step
And that shield of faith to protect me from them fiery darts
The word of God’s that sword that will chop the devil’s head off off off off

Where were you? (The Divorce Song)
Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris
Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios
(Greetings- we are about to get very very close and very very personal on this song
So tune in pay close attention yeah)
Verse:
See I aint trying to diss nobody
But somebody in the body is going to be offended probably
And take this song all-wrong
Let me give you some background from where this song stems from
Some years back- I came with a wife attach
I took vows- with a sis I had seen for while
You know- till one of us were six feet under
I promise to first Corinthian thirteen love her
My Christian life’s highlight
Quickly turned into a low though
Seven months in she aint want to be married no more
I cried lost weight and cried some more
Sad singing Ella Fitzgerald tunes
My congregation ignoring the elephant that was in the room
Gloom! Black clouds when I stepped out of my house
Like it was always raining
Praying when will this pain end
Hook:
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)
(By no means or stretch of the imagination am I trying to condone divorce
Please please do not take that away from this song
What I am trying to do is though is- I am giving a voice to that person who is divorced
And the congregation knows the situation but maybe avoided the situation maybe not sure
How to minister to that person but to leave them to their own devices is not the answer
Please minister to them Please minister to them)
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)
Verse:
Glory to God the boy aint bitter
After being abandoned by my brothers and sisters
It’s a different pain being hurt by church folks
When you thought they would be the ones to consol you the most
You hit the ignore button on your cell phone
“Leave a message at the tone- I’ll get back to you later on”
That was a voice mail I aint bother to leave
I called on the wrong person obviously
Folded my hands and then dropped to a knee
I should have called on the father right from Jump Street
Man disappoints God never did
Man’s words are fallible God’s always true to his
Deutronomy thirty-one six
Hebrews thirteen five
Need more check Zeke twenty-six four
Second Thessalonians the whole chapter three
Then it was just us two one
Hook:
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)
You (3x) you weren’t around (2x)
(Please be encouraged by this song
I think that sometimes we feel away from God or forsaken by God
That’s the word
But if God was going to leave us
He would have left us while we were dead in our sin
So please take encouragement from this song
And know that the Lord will never leave you
Even when people might fail you
The Lord will never fail you
Put your trust in him
His son Jesus the Christ)
You (4x)
You (4x)
Yeah (4x)

Pre Hook:
Spend the rest of my life to give him all of the glory
The blood of Christ written all over this story
And the page is full
I’m so grateful
Hook:
I was dead in my sin
And you step in (2x)
I’m so grateful for when
You stepped in
I was dead in my sin
And you step in (2x)
I’m so grateful for when
You stepped in
Verse:
Got to watch my steps
My feet are wet- I abound in them blessings
Recording sessions
Are my times to show my gratitude
my attitude is renewed?
I’m reborn and redeemed dog
Holler at the king dog
He did it for me dog
I was on that cant get right
Now I’m all about that Christian life
Its much more then morals
It’s much deeper than my conduct
After life kind of stuff
Soul care
So here
Is your soul going- when them curtains are closing?
Huh? When the shows over
What car you getting in and who’s your chauffeur?
Christ drives me- this world was trying to drive me crazy
I mean cuckoo with a screw loose
This is crucial there’s a conflict
I was smoking on that hay
Saturday and then on Sunday
I’d be sitting in church service
Eyes red high and nervous
And I’m hoping that the congregation aint smell that weed on him
I was so knee deep in sin
The deacons couldn’t do a thing
Cause salvation came by the blood shed by my king
Hook:
I was dead in my sin
And you step in (2x)
I’m so grateful for when
You stepped in
I was dead in my sin
And you step in (2x)
I’m so grateful for when
You stepped in
Verse:
The way that I live it
Has got Lucifer livid
He’s calling me a loser
I’m looking to my future
He’s bring up my past
You know (old stuff old stuff)
But I am now in Christ so that part of my life is over
I call it how I see it
Before Christ interceded
There was crisis I meant it
My motives were molded
By what the world told me
They showed me how to lust
Think conceited and to cuss
Finally had enough
The contemporary prodigal son
I’m sorry God I’m just a product of the seed I came from
Born in sin and shaped in iniquity
For sin sick people Jesus Christ is the remedy
(Remedy Remedy) You should let him fix you up
Aint a soul in the world with problems tough enough
(Come Closer Come Closer) Let the Lord love on you
I am a testimony of what God can do
Pre Hook:
Spend the rest of my life to give him all of the glory
The blood of Christ written all over this story
And the page is full
I’m so grateful (2x)
