The year′s boutta change

Think of who done changed up the years

Sure we got gifts and the snow songsBut think of where matter done came from

It started way before the Nativity

They couldn't find an inn on Christmas eve

Mary gave birth to the Maker

But had to lay the Christ in a manger

Christ lived His life as a nomad

The Lord of all riches lived a poor man

Yeah, we love fresh new doodads

But really what′s the use when my life ends

If you heed the scriptures, you a wise man

Herod's headings never hitting God's plan

Yo, no way, no chance

Ain′t no butterfingers, it′s in God's hands

Yeah, Joseph ain′t know what to make of it

I don't know if I could′ve understood either

You telling me... a virgin expectant?

Please, find me the verse, let me read it

The truth really stranger than fiction

The start, was the story of Christmas

The end, was the Lord's crucifixion

Well the end when we going up with Him, yeah

I walk into the mall, happy holidays

They don′t know nothin' bout the Maccabees

Don't tell me nun bout X-mas

The world, man, it really don′t like Jesus

The world real cold, real icy

Yo, when you think where your mind be?

The next war over ideology

Throw some prayers up to the Christ, please

We all love gifts of existence

But we never really think of who gifted

To be frank, it don′t make sense

More Christ, less regrets

Born once so I could twice

The sins on snow, man they all white

The Nativity of the Christ

He left but with Him you right, yeah

Ask the Lord for direction

The best way forward is repentance

No Olajuwon, ain't blocking my blessings

Salvation ensured and cemented

What you think is the story of our whole lives?

Gotta pick between two sides

One came as a babe, coming back down

The other one, bad news, Walter Matthau

It′s been

One year since my pops passed

The worst year of my whole life

December 18th, it took place

December 25th, on stone face

I'm just waiting on January

Please, no more Mariah Carey

We got the same birthday

Grew up round the same way

All I want this Christmas

Is a closer walk with Who made me

An Akai Live MPC

And for everyone to know God′s grace

Could see sad with my eyes close

Gon' hear Heaven when our lives go

When we all judged after time′s rolled

Hope my father sees the Lord's throne

I'm mourning from sun up to evening

I′m fighting back tears, but holding back weeping

Solemn at ′tis the season

I'm grieving

I′m mourning from sun up to evening

I'm fighting back tears, but holding back weeping

Solemn at ′tis the season

I'm grieving

I′m mourning from sun up to evening

I'm fighting back tears, but holding back weeping

Solemn at 'tis the season

I′m grieving

I′m mourning from sun up to evening

I'm fighting back tears, but holding back weeping

Solemn at ′tis the season

I'm grieving

But through it all, I praise You

Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords

We worshipping when the Savior was born

It could very well have not been now

But imagine God was a baby once

Sounds kind of wild... but it′s true

It's true, it′s true

It's true

Thank You, Thank You

Thank You

For the best gift of all, eternal life

Life without evil, life without pain

Forever and ever, indubitably, bro

Why you think people done died for this, bro

Risked they whole lives for this, man?

It's crazy...

The most valuable gift in life is salvation

And it′s given for free

To you and me, everybody

Ever

That′s wild

I was 9 in 2007

I think my grandma got me underwear

Needless to say i didn't want that

At all

Now I′m 23, 2021

Thinking to myself, what do I really want?

The old me wanted gold fronts

The new me wants a stable life

The old me wanted hidden hills

The new me wants somewhere concealed

The old me wanted every thrill

The new me knows that's never real

What′s the opposite of life again?

I actually don't wanna remind myself

Is this life really where it really ends?

What′s there when ain't nothing left?

The question is what's really free?

I know it′s not social media

I know it ain′t in the media

Cause everything there remedial

The timeline getting tedious

Variants of the same things

No delta, no omicron

It's Tik Tok then the time gone

The construct that we call home

Is not so, rather gon′ go

Call Christ see what's going on

Third eyes on the different side

And that′s who's tryna take your mind

Tryna play like he really God

Try to call on Santa Clause

Anagram on the first nom

You won′t make it past the dial tone

The globe froze like the north pole

It's never been as advertised

The influencers don't make the trends

The true freedom where we never end

So seek the cross before you see demise

What does this life epitomize?

How is everything so synchronized?

What′s really free?

Some look to financial

But what you have when the money go?

Why trust in material?

Cause have your hands ever held a thought?

Think about your eternal soul

What′s the purpose of the life you live?

To give your entire life to Him

Teach us how to pray

Teach us how to pray

Who done changed up the calendar?

Know it's never been the saints

Who you call when it′s malady?

Seeking for the Father face

Gotta ask in His name

We traverse by the grace

We rejoice in the hopes

Patient in the tribulat'

Never worry bout a thing

Keep the prayer, supplicate

In everything, give thanks

To the Christ, we pray

Angel numbers can′t call

Omnipresence in the Living God

When you pray, where it goes?

To Who can save your soul

Who needs a mil' when there′s a lifeline?

What's at the end of your lifetime?

Some say that it's just works

How much works to make that work?

Always cut out the middleman

Form the bond with the great I AM

Most the folks who don′t like God

Got the concepts all wrong

Talk to Christ and He frees of sin

Eternal life, getting right with Him

Talk to Him if you ain′t convinced

Nothing bout the Christ counterfeit

Swim in Living Water, Nautilus

Gotta pray without ceasing

Cause in Jesus where the peace is

In Jesus where the peace is

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Star in the east, it ain't come with no co-star

Think of your matters, yo, what you put hope on?

A better phrasing of that would be hope in

Where you do you put all your time and your focus?

I put my stock in the money and went broke

I put my stock in the drugs, had my mind gone

I put my stock in the shorties, where they now?

I put my stock in the parties, they shut down

I put my stock in the raps but they not mine

I put my stock in myself, what if I die?

I put my stock in the stocks, soon they gon′ slide

Don't put your stock in the world or it′s confines

What you rely on when you on your death bed

Who do you call when you can't see the plane land

What do you think about calling in advance?

What do you think about keeping in contact?

Struggle gon′ come in, no matter the season

Life about serving like Venus, Serena

Right now, it's cold, right now it's Christmas

Gotta get you and the Christ in allegiance

Life it had changed, since Spirit indwelled

Live for your brother, i ain′t talking Lehman

Armor been on, like writ in Ephesians

Look at what Paul done said in Philemon

All of us need the Lord to redeem us

Personally, I know my sins is egregious

Yeah, look to the power of prayer

The Lord, man, He always there

I was depressed, I was fighting my demons

We all gon′ find Him for different reasons

Giving salvation, He offering freely

You just gotta believe Him

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

Speaking to Jesus, Talking to Jesus

He will provide

I wonder if next year's gonna go as fast as last

The memories I′ve amassed, they faded like Walmart jackets

But life fantastic, even amidst the struggle

Easy street is purely fictional

These are the hardest times, the clock on calculus

We strain to see the spins, as it goes round a bit

Is heaven inhibited?

Are the store rooms somewhat limited?

What does God not have but the hearts of man?

This is why the world is as evil as it is

God is good, the Websters definition of

I ask this Christmas to show more love

Ever since my father died, I'd spent more time with bitterness

In solitary like I′m serving three life sentences

I need healing, I need Jesus

I need more time alone, or less

I don't know

Amidst Christmas celebrations and egg nog

I say festivities and then wander off

Try to fake a smile, I can′t fake the smile

Lord, take me now, where I shall wear a crown

December 25, the color's navy now

I think of giving up when I'm getting down

If it′s one thing, it ain′t another venture

Lord give me strength, I'm tryna stay together

The holiday stories and the photos

The ugly sweaters and hot cocoa

Matching jammy jams for the whole fam

I might do that when I have kids

But when my kids ask where′s they granddad

I don't know how i′ll relay that

Christ please speak through me, like You did to Paul

That might be the hardest thing to say of all

Now that my father gone

I don't know

But He gon′ provide it though

That I do know
