“ 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.

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)

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

Take the Wheel
03:30

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)

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

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.”

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

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

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)
