“ 1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have”. Prayer Err hey Lord It’s me, Laynah Ooh it’s just been one of those days But you know what, I just thank you so much for waking me up this morning thank you for my family My friends And everything you’ve put into my life right now And everything you haven’t Because you know what’s best for me Everyday I just fall short And I do wrong And I do bad but Your grace and your mercies forgives me every single time And for that, I’m truly thankful But you know what Lord, help me to be a better person Help me to love and care Help to have less pride And to just do better And most importantly Help me to complete the mission In the name of Jesus I pray Amen.

Receipts 03:21
Chorus All my receipts Yh you know what they're worth (x4) Verse 1 Ooh I can't even tell you My kindness ain't my weakness But when I use it Why is it weaken To eyes not familiar I try keep this feeling ti myself It ain't easier I Wish I could give some else This burden (but I can) That is hurting No I failed being certain It ain't working No i I ain't perfect No i Try to surface but I can't help This strength is not mine Cuz I know someone who helps I have trust in my.. (Chorus x4) Verse 2 You see riddums and patterns Didn't just magically happen There was a man with the plan But Adam messed with the baton So when it passed onto latter We're like the fish in the batter Prefer the chips to the fatter You wonder how did it rattle Interior or exterior battle Who's pushing the saddle inferior superior paddle A genius gavel Not from a linear atom Or a medium madam think the meaning is sodom You see the hearts where they harden A flower leaving the pollen A foreign Concept to trodden A modern Problem to problem Where all the morals are cotton And rotten sinking to bottom forgot the begotten The model better know what they're plotting and jotting A commoner spotted written text for your column A warrant A pardon The promise was just overly proper The better the potter Then better is the air for the joggers The dominoe offer I'm looking for a premier blossom And now I'm cool All my receipts yh you know (Why)

NOstalgia 03:00
Hook Keep it growing Knowing nostalgia Keeps blowing all our hopes away (x4) Verse 1 Life flowing in the distance Old showing like a nuisance Though I prefer the good times honey that was past times Leaving all that’s former now Some I like to think about Any minute oma get shy now Yh we know you worked hard Memories are great scars Future’s on the phone right now And we getting some resistance Keep fighting cuz that call’s right now Living in the past Daydreams never last God’s got it under control now Though we got in our system Gets brighter and there’s more glow now Breaking from the glass Holding on’s a trap Just listen to where you can go now Hook Away (x8) Verse 2 Where there’s joy there is strength mmm But not when you hold onto regrets mmm That’s why we repent mm God knows when you’re trying to live your best mmm So let go Coming from your sister Stay honest cuz it’s all gone now All of us have been there Keep trying though you don’t know how Still long for reminisce Sentimental but it’s over now Though we miss the good times Honey they’ll be new times Walk into your new life now Hook

Verse 1 Felt like giving up Talking on the phone Nothing feeling right Though there is nothing wrong Start whipping up complaints oh wee Start ticking off boxes No slacking off Start clocking up them days It just doesn’t feel the same Lord I need you more today ohh we Chorus You’re driving the lane for me Jesus take the wheel Oh you are driving the lane for me Jesus take the wheel Verse 2 Over and over Missed so many exits Some were not expected Following a path Reading incorrect because it wasn’t on the nav Yh instead of getting mad You seen my position and still put me on the map Can’t be getting sad I got bearings on my lap Letting go of everything and everything I had He has made me glad like Bridge Cast your burdens onto Jesus For he cares for you (x2) Higher higher (x3) Lift Jesus higher (x2) Lower lower (x3) Stamp satan lower (x2) Chorus

Postcards 04:11
Hook They know They know that I know We’re miles apart Not even satellite or text or postcards Explains how I feel But all of these obstacles seem to break me apart Annoying as it may be I guess I’ll fall on my knees They ask Yo lay why you at peace It is my testimony How you at peace That is my testimony (x2) Verse 1 Everybody seems to know what they want Least until they get what they want Preparation for the cold keeps you warm But the season can be changed if He wants to Just saved for a 2 seater But I’m gonna need a 5 seater Got a career as flying dealer Then had to relocate to 5 meters Away It wasn’t in the plan for me to stay Goals and habits all have a deadline But clearly there must be some other way Seek first the kingdom of God He’ll clear the way right before your eyes My God He don’t tell no lies Chorus Verse 2 Take note Stay awake anytime that it just gets too much He will be your match you can never ever put too much Pure situations On several occasions If it’s meant to be Then it’s meant to be Ohhh Not everything is super He is the producer So don’t worry about the future Ohh Go and take a backseat Chilling in your motor And let God be the chauffeur Chorus

Knock Knock 03:24
Do they really know wassup? Yh better know wassup Verse 1 Tell em Knock knock knock So much crying need a mop mop mop Sodom and Gomorrah I’m not Lot Lot Lot Enemy just picking up the crop crop crops Settled after talking to the pop pop pops Father gave this picture it’s just dot dot dot Yh everything just foaming out the pot pot pot Not proactive though All they do is jot jot jot Woah Strangers always staring at the block block block Like the Babel tower reaching for the top top top Mind and spirit put it under lock lock lock Cuz they tryna turn us all into a bot bot bot And even though Some act the part Some are getting little rusty that just make it rot uh Not no fairytale fable Friend or foe No matter if your pro Cuz Hook Are we the last to go Will not let them go (x4) Are we the last, last, last (x2) Verse 2 I’m not one to sugar coat coat coat End of times like Noah and his boat boat boat Dreaming dreams like Joseph and his coat coat coat Or John when He left us with that note note note So go into the water grab my soap soap soap Drowning calling Jesus then I float float float Father please forgive me This no joke joke joke Father please forgive me this no When it all looks good Yh Please proceed with caution I’m tryna make some noise Like I’m working up in Dawson Some of it makes sense All the rest is more enforcing Full stop Now stop Don’t you know the devil is a liar Wants to watch the world go up in fire We can’t go to heaven in this attire So don’t be left to fall in this empire In the back of my mind I see vultures give me work Let’s unfold New page let’s rebirth But in the front of my mind I see love And there’s no sub Just because But I gotta be weary, leary You feel me? Chorus Don’t be scared but prepared Because you don’t wanna be saying Please tell me what to do now

Foreigner 03:54
Last name foreigner No stamina for moderators Knocking on my monitors Yes I'm a commoner Selling heatwave With no accurate thermometers My mama never really with the drama Only coco palmerss Looked away from the board My lord comes with the sword Backbone and accord Can't skrt that with a Ford Na Lifestyle made a shift And still ain't been on tour Wishing there was more Then he brought back when I was four Yh When I wrote first poem Daffodils Scribbled books And crayons all to get going Kick the ball and keep rolling Hit the goal and still moaning I'm scrolling through these moments Empty quotes and fake facades Opinions mind controlling Brought up in a family Where the word's word Then i moved to Manny And learnt my first verse Talking about the galaxy Flying and blurred birds When mentality My spirit was yearning To burst Thirst Was the condition and wires confused Given Faulty technician That's hired by news Got involved with aura Went back to the book And seen we moved away from the torah But that was back in the old days Cuz Jesus paid for our forum On the cross And rose again And all in that in order Repent and you'll be restored New age Is the new craze On a new stage But matured Don't stroll into the third eye Cuz the mindset got bored Goes for the Wuiji and chakras will mess around with your thoughts Crystals and idols Are a trap waiting to get caught Soul left to get brought Mind left to get taught Body left to get fought That's nought take away nought You should go n look up CERN You should be concerned Building masses of anti matter In seconds all can get burned Knowledge will be destruction Opening gates of hell on earth Science looking for answers As they try describe our worth The universe is large But it can't define our birth Creation needs a creator Like musicians make a concert Have a look round the neighbourhood And all you see is his work From real love to humans To flowers and words yo 2 realms Physical and the spiritual Lot of it isn't visible Not That it is mystical Rather that it is biblical Missing this is a typical Difficult perceived Miracle Simply because the digital visual world Is critical Analytical Cynical Mythical And political Hyporcrital harmony Education only sharing work of the colony Making fun of Jesus Like material for their comedy Parody Isn't quality When Holy is the mockery He formed us out of clay With his own special pottery Fatherly Gave us nurture He'll answer us when we murmur Maybe within a sermon Or music where we can learn So where am I going with this The truth is too important and crucial to miss This is my letter With hug and a kiss Cuz demons they be active with you on their list Cuz Ignorance is not bliss You might call me a tool You might call me a fool I'm fine with that I'm cool But i'm not an artist That gives you the best bits I will keep it real As long as the best lives, God Colossians 2:8 “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. “ Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood it against the rulers, against the authorities, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil int he heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

Most High 03:32
Verse 1 Hope out my wheels Spinning up out of the gears Weening off some of the peers Beaming from ear to ear This is Jericho Out your stereo This ain’t scary no So get ready Found a love in my heart so pure That I just can’t let it go Can’t keep it a secret Gotta let you know It’s the world best cure Though I must have known before He has shown himself again Now I know it’s him for sure Chorus Heaven comes down when we fall Heaven reach out when we call Like my Most High Your promise is ok My problems can be tamed If this commas can be claimed It just happen through your name (x2) Verse 2 He’s telling you Warm child I’m hearing your stomachs empty Ooo now I’m looking to feed you plenty Feed my soul leaving my airways Gently, abruptly Please don’t interrupt me And oh Oh my health is giving out the best Don’t want to be one to regret I’m leaving it all intensely Cuz He was sent directly to protect me Chorus Bridge Do the most Night after night No dine after toast Why do we have to just ride til we die He gave me my life Thank God the Most High (x2)

Verse 1 Dips and turns minor diversions Swerving persons Who can’t accept versions Of different interpretations From across the nations To generations Reach out for the soul He will help you grow You can turn the lights on If you know how If you want to Don’t you be shy Go and ask why If you want to Chorus See I gotta make sure that what attacks me Ain’t the fear that will overlap me I spent all my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti (social) Gotta make sure that what attacks me ain’t the same fear that will overlap All my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti (social) Verse 2 Gotta make sure that what affects me Ain’t the same fear that will try deflect me All my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti Gotta make sure that what attacks me ain’t the same fear that will overlap All my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti (social) Yes I know there’s all these different pathways I’m sure that I’m meant to go that way On all fours just looking where it might be Gladly Sure my training wheels did me badly Sadly With these hooves no forest would have had me Bambi Chorus I lost all those shoulda coulda had beens They’re gone with all those other napkins I spent all my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti Gotta make sure that what attacks me ain’t the same fear that will overlap All my trouble going My trouble going My trouble going anti (social) Outro That’s all I have to give (x4)

How You Feel 05:14
Chorus I know how you feel I know I know I know what you’re feeling like Feelings take over Somehow (x2) Verse 1 These emotions threw me nowhere Leave me on standby Really gets me nowhere This til that I’m holding will not last long But I know I know Him I can depend on Yhh Pre-chorus I know what you’re feeling like It’s like no one wants to see your sis God wants the best For you (x2) God wants the best for you (x4) Chorus Verse 2 Stuck in reflection And nearly lost the ball I know my past self would be so appalled But I I I can’t even go there Yh But God says it is not how you feel But it is what you know is real You know You know you know that I’m right there Pre-chorus Guitar solo

Slow Down 04:11
Let em know Let em know No need to question Empty stare steady gazing under pressure I just sit a while Empty smile That’s enough of all the vision oh Vision oh Don’t need division I just sit a while While my sides full of conviction Friction Running out I can see the meter ticking While you feeling smug Where’s the love It do exist I tell em on your marks But Hook Please slow down Slow down (x4) Round round round (x4 (All keeps turning around Up and then down) Verse Fire is burning on There’s noway To forfeit All esteem is dripping beneath Disconnect from every second discard discard discard Drive us to perfection restart All becomes affected This is serious (x2) War won’t be enough to make the fall What’s wrong Oh no Head above the waters Merely keeping afloat Hook Outro Too many ways to go down Too many ways to go round Falling apart like there’s no way home (He is my shelter) Riding and going like there’s no way home (When I have no one) Trying so hard like there’s now way home (He makes me happy) Keeping it going like there’s no way home (When I can’t go on)
