Fierce

Some critics think im some kind of dork/but all the critics love me in new york/when my lp drops people hit the shops/speakers start bumpin and they call the cops/but that alright you dont need to know me/im not your only hope like obi wan kenobi/dont look to me cuz im not the ladder/just look to jesus cuz hes a lot radder and hes alot phatter and hes the only one that really matters /This world is not my home/I dont belong here/its a great place but Im going to beware/I dont get to attached/cuz a new world is about to be hatched/and that's where I'll be dispatched/not cuz Im good mind you/there are lots of things that can bind you/and blind you/but he breaks the shackles and says RUN! There is no payment for you, it's already been done.

Hook: His words are designed to pierce, and they're fierce.

He is risen/he is risen indeed/they didn't think the messiah would really bleed/but he went to the cross, suffered and died/but 3 days later he was truely alive/he can lay down his life and take it up/no man on earth can drink that cup/wonderful counselor, almighty God/pulling us to safety with his staff and rod/he is the good shepherd and knows his sheep/no one can take them, they are his to keep/he puts us on his shoulders and leads us out/do you know someone with this much clout?/I doubt it/He is good and he is bad to the bone/nobody nowhere can sit on his throne/it's his alone/king of kings and lord of lords/a host of angels are bearing many swords/he is the resurrection and the life/he testifies about himself and the word cuts like a knife.

Hook:

There is a lion boasting unbelief/but look closely/he ain't got no teeth/that lion is a coward/seeking to devour/that lion is the father of lies/if he's given a chance to kill/he tries/but my lion loves Ryan/so much that he didn't mind dying/he drank the cup the Father gave him/he was in control/you can't enslave him/a lion of a different breed/and he's from David's seed/A Lion King/death, where's your sting?/Grave, ain't nothing but a thing

The Son And The Sun

You made sex your career/you flaunt it and flaunt it/you worship the cross but who's the person on it/let me just tell you that cross is just wood/why not seek the savior like I know you could/you can be a Zealot for the kingdom a King/but still you continue to do The Prince thing/I don't know if these words will strike you/but why rap for the devil when he doesn't even like you?/the world doesn't revolve around you it revolves around the son/he is the man he is the One/Not s.u.n. but s.o.n./ he will always be and has always been/so dont get in a hurry/dont be in a worry/your ears are closed and your vision is blurry/he who has an eye sees/but you want a life of ease/condo in the keys/every man and woman will see eternity/but you choose the place you want to be/all you need is a mustard seed/The Son of God you got to heed/the word of God you got to read/the Son of man didn't just bleed, he wept.

Hook: Keep your eyes on the prize/realize/that he is all wise/and all good/and if you give your life to Him like you should/you will know him as the one/you will see Him as THE SON.

Not everyone wants on this ride/but that's all right Jesus be your guide/You gotta lean on the LORDs side/why hide/when he gives you pride/and something worth living for/and something worth dying for/if you don't need nobody/then what you lying for?/I don't want to waste my life/so I deal with the strife/I don't take a knife/ the best m.c. I can be/ what does God see?/I hope not me/cuz Im just a insignificant worm/When he swoops down I just squirm/ the man with the jams that you will all love/think he's cool, think he's fresh, man, he is all of the above/ the greatest M.C. of all time/Yeah my LORD can rhyme.

Hook:Keep your eyes on the prize/realize/that he is all wise/and all good/and if you give your life to Him like you should/you will know him as the one/you will see Him as THE SON.

In God We Trust

I dont always do right but im chasin daylight/i look forward to taking flight/goin out like elijah/would be alright/i rock well you can tell/im like an impact player in the nfl/a christ follower isnt perfect but in training/on a hot day or when its raining/im not boasting cuz its not well to do/but white boys can hip hop too/i said white boys can hip hop too/so watch it dude/im not rude/when the crowd booed i turned it into an interlude/dream with your eyes wide awake/let your life quake/make the earth shake with you passion/make your own fashion/be brash and bold for the cause/don't focus on your flaws cuz he's the one that draws/the spirit gives you everything you need bro/you water it and God makes it grow/for sho

New Life

Its time to be glad cuz Jesus is risen/sing out loud like paul and silas in the prison/don't wait for heaven to rejoice/this is the time to lift up your voice/the cross is not a gold locket/it is power when you plug into the socket/don't wait for perfect conditions/step out onto the water and start the mission/don't let anybody hold you back/get off the bench and into the game attack/lucifer's a liar/no pitchfork or cape/but he comes at you quick like uncle screwtape/you gotta be ready, you gotta be steady/like the lions in the serengeti/turn off the iphone/shut down the computer/be a warrior bride for the suitor.

Hook: I feel brand new.

My rhymes arent plain/they are insane/I've been rappin' since long live the kane/but its not about longevity/its all about levity and preachin the Word of God and preachin it steadily/most rap artists go blah blah blah/they dont have God's word in their repertoire/they don't bring life, they just bring death/they don't give you oxygen or take away your breath/theres no need for a long long list, vanity vanity vanishing like a mist/thats a sermon to read right now dawg/check it out don't sleep on it yall/its time for me to pick up the pace/its time for me to really seek his face/time to fight the good fight and finish the race/time to storm hell's gate open and shut case.



Hook: I feel brand new

I am part of the remnant/I am a warrior and I am militant/I put our life on the line/I dont get a purple heart/I die every time/I don't die like a martyr/I die daily and thats a lot harder/download ntp to your ipod/listen to the lyrics and let your head nod/i use to go by the name cool bee/but then i realized/ it aint about me/thats how my rap music was born/i grew up like a tender stalk of corn/and the horns gonna call me home/im just a nomad thats why i rome/this body here is just a tent/so forget the rent/this life is just a hint

Hook: I feel brand new.

Demons Are Dust Part II

I use to curse rhymes but now I base um/on the Bible before I place um/Bucket you were mainstream you went out G/Jesus Christ is mainstream to me/my raps were weak but now they're everlasting/use to say um slow, now I say um fast and/now I say um well you can tell they sell/turn white m.c.s black and black m.c.s pale/give them more of what they are looking for/leave your spirit pure/once my rap was cancer, now it's the cure...

HOOK: Dust....them demons are dust.

I smile on stage when most guys just smirk/joyed and employed by Christ my work/what did I come for what can I prove?/that Christians too can move and groove/we rap for the gospel not for status or gain/we rap for the hurts, the hopes, the pain/we know that God and money just don't mix/we came to heal, bind, repair, and fix/with his spirit we can do it, can heal/so people can hear, see, and feel/our reward is eternal not temporal/we do God's will/we do what's moral/we're not perfect but perfection is the stance we take/kill, spit, kick, that's the chance we take/we preach Christ, faith, hope, and love/is it faith or works?/or all of the above?/we're two rap ministers/some say sinisters/that's when it's the time/to rhyme/in my prime/at the drop of a dime I kick lines and lines and lines/cuz ain't one as clever/with as much fervor/did I pull your lever?/never/the funkiest rap evangel ever...

HOOK: dust...them demons are dust.

My name is ryan/and I'm not lyin'/and demons that mess with me will be tryin'/for a long time to resist my rhyme/but they can't climb to my height/cuz I'm out of sight/you think you got a chance well your chance is slight/I don't make up rhymes they come to me/I don't read music it just runs through me/flowin'through my mind like water through a river/when I enter the room all the demons quiver/I'm a warrior but I'm not the boss/and one mega rhyme from me and it will be your loss/cuz I'm elite/don't know about defeat/I'm set/my name is Ryan Burkett/you better seize the day cuz there won't be a better one/if your girl ain't got a Bible you just better get her one/cuz here comes the doom/that could fill your room/the longest day today no need to assume/these rhymes you hear are only one small portion/gonna knock you out way outta proportion/Jesus gives me rich life,not just fortune/my rhymes are serious/and there is no distortion...

HOOK:  Dust...them demons are dust.

***The sample is "Do Your Thing" by Isaac Hayes***

Acts 29

Wake up wake up/Christ said pray for me/or life will slowly surely slip away from thee/wake up wake up/Lazarus, heed to Jesus of Nazareth/listen up listen up bible scholar/this will be very hard to swallow/so try to follow/Jesus Christ/the same yesterday today and tomorrow/so smoove that angels boasted to shepherd boys/not decoys but the real mccoys/so overjoyed that they spoke in tongues/the old ones and the young ones/Did you know that he is the sanctifier?/Lord, lunatic, or liar/He is so cool I wanna be a pastor/the king the head the mac the master/under my God I feel so safe/He is the author and finisher of our faith/so be devoted and strong a Christian has to be/don't get drunk/be filled to capacity.

Who's the final chapter! We are! We are! Who's the holy nation? We are! We are!  Who's the royal priesthood? We are! We are! What people belong to God?

Gotta be more cautious though/gotta be more righteous bro/gotta make a decision to be salt/be buyin instead of gettin bought/don't let your little light fade/you gotta play instead of getting played/Are we set free by the lamb's blood?/then why do we trample on it like it's just mud?/we gotta toughin up like grissle/cuz it looks like we are the last epistle/we need to storm heaven's gate before it closes/gotta out shoot guns'n'roses.

Hook

Our spiritual battle is stopless/but still we got all these bars that are topless/we got an answer that's not hopeless/and still people can't live a day dopeless/if we wanna be somethin' sweet/then we're gonna have to be something complete/cuz soon he will come for the one who blesses/and every tongue that confesses/so whether you like him or not/you're gonna have to claim your lot/today we gotta be much bolder/just look what he bore on his shoulder/that was our cross of wood/and he did it cuz no one else could.

Hook
