Lead out in cuffs: Sep 18, 2012; "That's right. We've evolved."

"I can see that. Cool mutations."

Laibach's Volk album is full-on DnD. "Volk" means "wolf" in Slovenian, but "people/race" in German (and instantly invokes images of Nazism). The album is a series of soft industrial renderings of the national anthems of exceptionally nationalistic countries, with each featuring a native singer from that country.

Highlights:

Amerika "Oh, the Land of the Free / and the Home of the Brave / Are you heaven on Earth / or the gloom of the grave?" -- This one's probably the least subtle in its sarcasm.

Rossiya "The unbreakable union / of fraternal states / united forever / in Great Russia's embrace" -- from the USSR national anthem.

Anglia "So you still believe you're ruling the World / Using all your tricks to keep the picture blurred."

Nippon "May the reign of the emperor / continue for a thousand years / and for eternity / until this tiny stone / will grow / into a massive rock / and the moss will cover it /all deep and thick" (accompanied by the sound of wood burning).

Yisrael -- a duet between the Israeli and Palestinian national anthems. Bonus points if you can pick out which of the lyrics are from which nation. They're both about the same piece of ground.

Weird BIAS: Jul 5, 2007; so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.

Here's my favorite song on I/P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujtsAOvWibY

quote:

Your borders are bloody mirages
that expand and contract at the will of the blade
drawn across the back of a people in shadow

We are on the ropes,
tasting the blood in our mouths,
mixing with what little hope we have left
as it slides down our throats
constricted by hands of avarice, soft media, oxymorons and military might

How long must we live in the shadow of your wall
that divides our lives, our loves and our hopes?
How long must we live in the daily fear
of returning home to find it gone?

We are refugees in our own land
waiting in hope for the day
when we can walk our own streets

Just because you have the biggest gun
doesn't mean your war is won
Just because you take our homes
doesn't mean our hope is gone
Just because you claim your cause as just
doesn't mean that you're still not wrong
Just because you build a wall
doesn't mean it will last that long

A bullet flies through the head of another ten-year-old boy
who held a rock in his hand against a thirty-ton tank in his people's land

My favourite Laibach song - B-Mashina:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgqjnzkYPnA
Such a good song, and awesome apocalyptic sounding lyrics about space travel:

quote:

Only one day is left
Only one day
We are leaving the others
We are going away

Today we all steal
Animals we are
Possession is lost

Our souls are from the wild
and wings to reach the sky
Let the sun fall into the ocean
Let the earth erupt in flame
It is enough to have the strength and knowledge
to raise our dream machines into the sky

Let them sleep who do not know
the final day is here
The very last
and we leave at dawn

There is no force, no money and no power
to stop us now and change our fate
Now every problem is destroyed
We raise our hands and bodies to the peak
Into the Universe - towards the stars we go

[Chorus]

Machines we are sending to the skies
above us all
And leave behind those who don't know
of the final day
We leave in sleep those who don't know
We leave at dawn
We are driven by the B-machine
Wild B-machine that never stops

The Real Paddy: Aug 21, 2004; by FactsAreUseless

Seriously, no Flobots yet?

The first two songs I have found to be extremely inspirational when it comes to recruiting others for local social activism, and the last song utilizes Atlantis as metaphor, calling for a dramatic transition away from the corporate system that is leading us to climate destruction to something that will help us deal with what is coming.

Bit from the third song:

"We float on tsunami to global warming,
we need structures to control what's coming.
Corporate monopolies, obsolete,
the philosophy leaves us lost at sea.
But from Marwar to Cochabambaa,
we are the warriors that won't get conquered.
With the rising tides,
drown all villages,
divided fighters,
succumb to pillage.
Rescuers, whatever your latitude,
It's time to pioneer a new world attitude.
Put local cycles first,
we're global islanders with nothing left to plunder.

...

And survival hinged on the ascent by the humble.
And the sirens wail as the empire crumbles.
With nothing to plunder,
corporations drowned.
Waves clap like thunder,
and stormed the gates with sound.
Forming a new nation now.

As the ice caps melted,
water levels rose.
We raised our hands together,
and made the levies hold.
Heels in the sand, we revealed the depths below.

The population of starfish exploded from the ocean.
Survival, we unified to focus on.
And the voices were many,
but we spoke as one.

As the tale was retold, we multiplied,
And swelled across the fault lines,
to hold the tide.
We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive.

And from the barren wastelands of naked trash,
we stitched together a shelter from fallen nations' flags.
And chose to build the future from an ancient past."

Not ashamed to admit it makes me cry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mKM9J3eo30

quote:

Echo echo one-nine
Hear the call through fault lines
Smoke signals, old rhymes
Shorted lights in store signs
Spelled in a broken code
Find that it is time to
Breath, build, bend, and refine you
We sky tenants give it all
But wont give up
Radio soul antennas
Radio to lift spirits
Call sign commando
M.O. is independence
Scream till the walls fall
Dissolve all the limits

Occupied minds
Unemployed skills
Desolation
Worn out
Torn down
Just for now thrill seekers
Slanging
Test tube babies in beakers
Where gun blasts pump straight from the speakers
The system where the
Poor get poorly paid
To hold the ladder
Where the rich get ricocheted
Into the stratosphere
And in between people are russian like vladimir with metals to make their status clear
Get us out of here!

We need heroes
Build them
Don't put your fist up
Fill them
Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
We're the architects of our last stand
[Repeat]

There's a war going on for your mind! Those who seek to occupy it will stop at nothing. The battlefield is everywhere; there is no sanctuary, there are no civilians. You have two choices: surrender or enlist.

What kind of person are you
Always the first to argue
Or never down to stick your neck out cause it hurts you far
Too much to see your rep suffer
Set you up a buffer
Well neither is enough for us cut from a tougher brand of
Duct tape the propaganda's stuck on us like sock pajamas
Spread like a virus through accepted thoughts and proper manners
But off the cameras somethings simmering across the land
About to bubble up and knock the lids off of the pots and pans

We are non stop juggernauts
Stomp ziggurats
Spit manifestos
By terabytes and gigawatts
Shock paradigms
Give sense to a score
Throw thoughts through the sky
Activate twenty more
In these high and dry times
Expectorate on dogma
Pragmatic sycophants divide and conquer
We build bridges
Offer hard work and prosper as hand made heroes
Brought to you by no sponsors

We need heroes
Build them
Don't put your fist up
Fill them
Fight with our hopes and our hearts and our hands
We're the architects of our last stand
[Repeat three times]

All free minds to the front! All free minds to the front!
We call upon women, we call upon children, we call upon the handicapped, the infirm, the weak of heart.
We need your courage, your dedication, your passion, your conviction! Gather up your platinum; melt it down! Gather up your gold; melt it down!
Gather up your silver! Your bronze! Your aluminum!
Melt it down!
Melt it down!
Melt it down!

So much pain we
Dont know how to be but angry
Feel infected like we've got gangrene
Please dont let anybody try to change me
Me
Just me
In the middle of a sea full of faces
Full of faces
Some laugh some salivate
Whats in your alleyway
Recycling bins or bullet cases
Its not equal
Its not fair
Were different people
But were not scared
We aint never scared
To pave a new path
Make a new street
Build a new bridge
Say can you see by the dawns early light
Free slaves running
Songs words werent right
Now a new days coming
The few stay stunning while the many are handsome
Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
The base drumming is the anthem
We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
And

Rise together we rise.... (repeat x15)

Lost hope and found need
Grounded by our surroundings
Did the walls scream universities
Or you and i verse the tees
React automatic and we burst when squeezed
And make 9-11 each emergency
Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
Oh please let the hurting cease
Don't let apathy police the populace
We will march across
Those stereotypes that were marked for us
The answers obvious
We switch the consonants
Change the sword to words and lift continents

Rise together we rise....

If you believe in redemption
I'm calling to you from another dimension.....

quote:

That was as far as the tide came in.
I remember the starfish and the wales of the sirens then.
We replaced the trident,
Embraced Poseidon,
Discovered ourselves living on an island.

We flow like water across the lost city,
Chalk prophecies and wash off graffiti.
In continents,
Trade off for pay-off,
And high concepts,
Then lost like chaos.
Many tales,
that radiate from one Nexus,
Defending a dream of a new directive.
A call from the deep sums up a notion.
The day when the people bum-rushed the ocean.

From the beaches they,
Ran to meet the day after.
Underneath the waves,
won't repeat the same chapter.
Knew what they had to do.

That which creates life,
has the power to take it right back.
F***ing with the ice caps,
We got to push the tide back.
We can survive collapse,
if we don't get side-tracked.

Improvision lives living,
underwater hidden by prisms,
countries fall but people transition,
If one for all we live in that vision.
Hundred dollar bill origami,
balloon inflation,
new-world economy.

We float on tsunami to global warming,
we need structures to control what's coming.
Corporate monopolies, obsolete,
the philosophy leaves us lost at sea.
But from Marwar to Cochabambaa,
we are the warriors that won't get conquered.
With the rising tides,
drown all villages,
divided fighters,
succumb to pillage.
Rescuers, whatever your latitude,
It's time to pioneer a new world attitude.
Put local cycles first,
we're global islanders with nothing left to plunder.

From the beaches they,
Ran to meet the day after.
Underneath the waves,
won't repeat the same chapter.
Knew what they had to do.

For centuries human beings have pursued the meaning of Atlantis.
Central to their teachings,
is that its existence answers man's essential questions.
Much like the feeding of the 5000,
even if the facts aren't accurate,
the story's magic is alive.

Of utmost importance to divert the impertinent.
Atlantis holds the answers to man's ills at their most pertinent.
Aspersions easily dispersed when I certainly answer.
The most diverse aversions when I firstly channel.

Is that all you hold for?
A warrior's role.
The ground shakes to claim my country,
not my soul.

I fought,
I toiled for the lost in the waves.
And I will not tire,
I'll die no slave.

If the sea's my grave,
I sleep with my city,
my people,
my oath,
my shame,
my city,
is that I cannot save my city,
from the waves that claim you.

And curse the Gods who can't explain,
who's to blame,
at the end of a reign,
HEED ME!
(heed me)

The season passes Atlas,
his keeps in the sediment.
Failing monumentally,
and leaving no monuments to see,
only sea to shining sea.

And survival hinged on the ascent by the humble.
And the sirens wail as the empire crumbles.
With nothing to plunder,
corporations drowned.
Waves clap like thunder,
and stormed the gates with sound.
Forming a new nation now.

As the ice caps melted,
water levels rose.
We raised our hands together,
and made the levies hold.
Heels in the sand, we revealed the depths below.

The population of starfish exploded from the ocean.
Survival, we unified to focus on.
And the voices were many,
but we spoke as one.

And swelled across the fault lines,

We let the altars die to keep our pulse alive.

And from the barren wastelands of naked trash,
we stitched together a shelter from fallen nations' flags.
And chose to build the future from an ancient past.

The crown of thorns were worn,
we put the tridents down.
We found new forms of anchors,
deep inside the ground.

The world is an island now!

The world is an island now.

El cantante de Reincidentes, detenido en el aeropuerto de Miami

Madrid. (EFE).- El cantante y bajista de Reincidentes, Fernando Madina, fue detenido el pasado viernes en el aeropuerto de Miami, donde hac�a escala junto al grupo para trasladarse a Quito (Ecuador) para ofrecer un concierto que tuvo que ser suspendido.

Las autoridades estadounidenses no han informado a la familia sobre la situaci�n legal en la que se encuentra Madina, por lo que esta se mantiene a la espera de que la Embajada Espa�ola en Washington pueda obtener datos, han asegurado a Efe desde la oficina de representantes Attraction Management.

Una situaci�n que han calificado de "vergonzosa", ya que no constaba ninguna denuncia contra �l y Madina "no ha hecho nada para estar detenido", han asegurado.

Doce horas despu�s de la detenci�n de Madina, el resto de los integrantes del grupo se pusieron en contacto con las autoridades de inmigraci�n del Estado de Florida, la polic�a aeroportuaria y la compa��a a�rea, entre otras instancias, con la intenci�n de averiguar la situaci�n legal en la que se encontraba el cantante.

Pasadas 48 horas, la familia denunci� su desaparici�n a la Polic�a Nacional, sin que por el momento tengan nuevos datos sobre su detenci�n, ha asegurado el representante en un comunicado.

El grupo Reincidentes se dirig�a a Quito donde iba a ofrecer un concierto el s�bado pasado en el XVIII Festival Mundial de la Juventud y los Estudiantes con el que iniciaba una gira de presentaci�n de su �ltimo trabajo Aniversario que conmemora sus 30 a�os de carrera.

En el mismo comunicado, agradecen la comprensi�n y apoyo de la organizaci�n de este festival, en el que eran cabeza de cartel.

"Sentimos no haber podido participar con vosotros en este importante evento para la juventud de Latinoam�rica", aseguraba el grupo en su cuenta oficial de Facebook.

Detained in Miami by immigration or TSA or whatever for unknown reasons. The band was on its way to :siren:

last week (Friday I think). If I were a non-American and I thought the US might not like me I'd try pretty hard not to transit through US airports.

RC and Moon Pie: May 5, 2011

I've read somewhere that The Butcher's Tale by The Zombies came about because someone was on a history kick and fascinated by World War I. It was released as a single in America to try to capitalize on the growing anti-Vietnam movement, but whether it was really supposed to be an allegory may be a little questionable. It was released in 1967.

It's definitely an anti-war song, being the experiences of an enlisted butcher in WWI who's increasingly shellshocked. Meantime, preachers are clamoring for more war, with the double meaning that they are far away from the action and you know, they're supposed to be about peace.

What's up with this music?!

I am a philosopher, I like to provoke,
we live in perverted times,
so let me tell you a perverted joke!

A famous, dirty, horrible joke,
taking place in 15th century Russia.
A farmer and his wife walk along a dusty country road.
A Mongol warrior on a horse stops and says
"I'm gonna rape your wife and you should hold my testicles,
while I rape your wife, so that they will not get dusty."
When he raped his wife, the Mongol warrior went away,
the farmer started to laugh and jump with joy, his wife said
"Hey, how can you be happy?! I was just brutally raped!
And he says: "But I got him. His balls are full of dust."

Well, in reality we only dirty with dust the balls of those in power.
And now comes the dirty conclusion - the point is to cut them off!

Now let me warn you - this isn't Macarena, not Chicken dance,
not Aserej�, not Gangnam style and so on and so on.

We stand no chance, there's no time for romance,
it's time to dance The Perverted Dance!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls
and our faces won't be sour!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls.

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
we can train with cauliflower!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls.

Oh, my god, why am i doing this?! Singing, dancing?!
I feel like that disgusting guy from Canada, Justin Bieber...

So, the problem with capitalism is that it's in the crisis from its very beginning.
From somewhere, I would say, late 18th century, there are prophets who claim capitalism is nearing its end.
It's like that stupid bird Fenix, the more you, you know, it returns.
I got hungry, let's grab something to eat!
What?! No meat?! Only for vegeterians ?!
Degenerates, degenaretes, they'll all soon turn into monkeys.

I dont say let's do nothing,
I say sometimes doing nothing is the most violent thing to do.
So cut the balls, just cut the balls!
And racism is also a problem,
so be like Kung Fu Panda - be white, black, asian
and cut the balls, just cut the balls!
They call me The Borat of Philosophy,
The Marx Brother and The Elvis of cultural theory.
Cut the crap and cut the balls, just cut the balls!

Hey, I am Slavoj �i�ek!
No, I am Slavoj �i�ek!
No, I am Slavoj �i�ek,
gently caress that, whatever, let's all be Slavoj �i�ek!

Grab and pull the imaginary balls from the sky,
cut through the air and say bye, bye, bye.
Let's join together, let's fall in trance,
let's dance The Perverted Dance!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls.
and then take the bloody shower!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
let them face the final hour!
just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

Cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls,
the balls of those in power!
We need to cut the balls,
we need to cut the balls!
Just cut the balls,
make them become Niagara falls!

This stupid repetative mechanic music!
Stop it!

Thank you, thank you very much!

The problem is maybe not the big act "Cut the balls",
but you make small changes and all of a sudden, balls are no longer there.
Those in power look down and say "Oh, where are my balls?"
and suddenly their voices get higher and so on and so on and so on.
I stand by my joke. The structure of the joke is that this so called progressive intelectual,
in order to score his small narcicistic point, oh, I dusted the balls,
totally ignores the suffering there and that's the whole point of the joke.
So cut the balls, we need to cut the balls!

quote:

"Honey, I've made a terrible mistake. I've given you my role. I gave up leading this family, and forced you to take my place. Now I must reclaim my role. I'm not asking you, I'm telling. You must submit for the survival of our family and our culture. Remember, God wants you to."

Surrender to your rightful keepers, do it for our Lord
A life of holy servitude is women's just reward
Have faith in all of our promises, surrender yourselves to men
And when you get to heaven, you'll be a servant once again
The promise keepers are on a mission, the conversion of a nation
But only by total submission will women find salvation
They justify spiritual slavery by claiming it's God's will
They're trying to insure oppression through legislative bills

Surrender! Submit!
Surrender! Submit!

Dave Wardell wants you to do it- Surrender! Submit!
Bill McCartney want you to do it- Surrender! Submit!
Jesus Christ wants you to do it- Surrender! Submit!
God wants you to do it- Surrender! Submit!

Submit!

We're second only to God when it comes to absolute authority
It's your duty as God fearing christians to help cleanse society
Submit all aspects of your life for us to review
When it's family, business, or sexuality we'll tell you what to do
Souls are held for ransom by The Religious Right

Never have 300,000 men come together throughout history,
Except for the purpose of war- We'll start with homosexuality
Then it's women, abortion, sinners, and secularism
All are subject to our political and spiritual exorcisms
Stealing away human right while worshipers applaud
All because they're threatened by the tyranny of God
The only promises these bigoted men will keep
Is the exploitation of a nation of mere sheep

quote:

Every 45 seconds a woman is raped
Our sexist culture allows no escape
The is violent crime is far from obscurity
When the rate of victims is one in three
Society conditions men to be rapists
And our indifference perpetuates it
With derogatory language that tends to dehumanize
Making it easier for men to victimize
And the pornographic images that help portray
Women as legitimate sexual prey
When sexism is embedded in our judicial system
It's no surprise why the courts won't listen
And the role of attacker and survivor become distorted
So the majority of rapes are never reported

The threat of rape is always there
It's like a poison that saturates the air
A society stricken by a cancerous disease
Where men know they can do as they please
You tell me - you tell me- you tell me the punishment for rape
You tell me - you tell me- you tell me how much jail time it will take
When one out of three women will be raped
You tell me what it's going to loving take
Do you see me in my low cut shirt
Or high heel shoes or a miniskirt
Woman is the victim you desire
You say you can't resist your predatory fire
You tell me - you tell me- you tell me why I stand guilty and accused
You tell me - you tell me- you tell me when I'm beaten an abused
When it's my body that's been raped and defiled
You tell me why I'm the one on trial

Defense attorney: Do you know the man who "allegedly" attacked you?
Victim: Yes I know the man who raped me.
Defense attorney: And isn't this man a friend of yours?
Victim: Well I thought he was a friend of mine.
Defense attorney: And were you drinking that night he 'allegedly" attacked you?
Victim: I had a drink or two but is that a crime?
Defense attorney: I'll ask the questions if you don't mind!
-What were you wearing: How did you act?
Victim: My wardrobe isn't an invitation for a man to attack.
-I didn't act in any way to bring this on. Why am I on trail? What did I do wrong?
Defense attorney: Could you tell the jury why you let this happen?
Victim: I was in shock. I couldn't stop him.
Defense attorney: You claim that you were raped but how do we know?
Victim: I said no, I said no, no, no!
Defense attorney: Isn't it true you're just a woman scorned?
Victim: I'm a woman who's been raped and torn.
Defense attorney: Your honor, I demand that this case be dismissed,
-it all comes down to her word against his!

I may not have bruises all over my body
I may have been drinking at the party
But when I went to his room I never would have guessed
That he would force my no to mean a yes
You tell me why I'm guilty of this crime
You tell me why the responsibility is mine
When women suffer a second rape during trial
Courts help rapists to violate and defile

And as a bonus, here's socialist old-school industrial band Test Dept backing a miner recounting the brutality he faced during the '84 miners' strike.

Alright then, let's have some SPK! SPK was founded by a pair of mental health workers who were inspired by the manifestos of the Socialist Patients' Collective and put out some really great industrial music before getting a record contract and switching to making fairly generic dance music. Their releases generally came with what we'd now consider zines full of writing on the politics of mental illness and mind control. A ton of them are archived here.

Ah yeah, Boots said that Pam doesn't like to go on tour, so she didn't come with them to Europe. Maybe that's where you got the idea from.

izationalizer: Jul 2, 2012; I don't know what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.

The seminal avant-rock band This Heat were always politically charged, and they were clearly familiar with the Marxist theoretical tradition, what with their depictions of false consciousness and such. I'd like to think that they'd be *just* experimental enough to be OK with Adorno, but I dunno; Adorno was kinda bitchy like that.

You are now in a deep sleep

Possibilities in store
A taste of paradise
Success on a plate for you

Henry Cow were cool super serious british marxists who set out to make challenging, uncommercial music, and they did cool things like 15 minute epics about the class struggle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxkDtA711aA

They later got together with some other similar minded bands from continental europe and formed the Rock in Opposition movement(RIO). Later Henry Cow broke up but some of the members formed another band called Art Bears who were even more political:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLjSu9U1lEU

The link leads to a fairly good rendition of the Russian national anthem (the best anthem, I have to concede even as a Finn) accompanied with a lot of cool stuff from the history of Russia. The rundown of rulers/politicians near the end kind of makes it clear that Putin and his ilk are pretty much just a natural continuation of what Russia has had throughout its centuries. It's not all politics by a long shot, there's a lot of movie clips, sports etc. in there too.

Rody, lead vocalist posted:

I�m a big believer that the justice system in North America is failing rape victims, and I think that a lot of people are denying rape culture, but it�s drat time that we started acknowledging that it�s real. We shouldn�t be willing to accept poo poo like Daniel Tosh getting up on stage and making a bunch of shittty rape jokes, because that just contributes to rape culture, and to victim shaming, and you see it on your favourite sitcoms and you think, �oh, but they�re just making jokes about it: and you know what, it�s loving real, and that�s contributing to it!

�Plato�s Tripartite� is a song on the record which is very much about that, and I had a rape case in mind from the United States, where this young girl was essentially raped, and this dude, who was a football player at their high school, got let off with a slap on the wrist because he had a promising career and he looked remorseful, even though he had raped this young girl, he got away with it. This young girl�s life is forever scarred, forever altered, and this guy gets a slap on the wrist, and that�s what this song is about.

BUSH 2112: Sep 17, 2012; I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon.

Because LF introduced me to Math Rock in general and the loving awesomeness that is Hella, I feel like I should share the wealth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CuCa1uItjM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U15uIa3ynEw

Hella is amazing because, even though their music is nearly all instrumental (There's No 666 in Outer Space has full vocals and a 5 person band, and it's incredible) their music, to me, kind of boils down America in our time. It's this brilliant kind of controlled chaos, like Zach Hill's drumming is about to abandon all rhythm at any moment and break down into a cascade of noise (which it sometimes does).

I don't know, what they do is similar, in my mind, to what the Beach Boys and Kraftwerk did for their respective times and places. Just a beautiful, chaotic explosion of intense music that gives a perfect sonic description of our society.

Rap song about Abortion

quote:

Gotta be the prophet, priest, provider, protector of
My Home, my wifey and the kid I gotta step it up
But I can't step it up, my flesh is wrecking stuff
I need the strength of the Lord to come and rev me up
He got me serving my family leading them into worship
patiently preaching with passion pleased to be in His service
I'm weak as a servant yet I seem to be working
Under the power of His name His strength is emerging
Not nervous He gives me boldness when I grip the mic
spitting Christ, committed willing to give my life
Like, you see me walking in the steps of Jesus
explaining Christ to the world we call that exegesis
Sin come my way but isn't gonna get a brother twisted up now
I'm a temple of The Lord, picking up my sword
giving up the riches for the cross then I'm getting that crown
living for the risen no pretending I'm down
out the prison of my sinning now the Spirit abounds
Not a victim but a winner When His bigger strength enters
I be feeling the victory this is profound NOW

yeah you got the money in ya pocket
walk into the clinic like it's the only option
adoption doesn't solve it, cause you don't want to carry it
this is so embarrasing, you say its not fair I'm just
16 I'm scared to give my parents this big news
I swear they'll flip I'm very sick and feel used
Me raising a child I can't cope with it
but listen up 30 years from now girl you still won't be over this
You in the waiting room, pending this baby's doom
He or she is not an it God placed life in ya womb
No Lil mama you can be a mama
God can be the father and He will make you stronger
You walk down the hallway you bout to murder this
unborn child who really deserves a turn to live
I call it compassionate they call it conservative
she turns around and trust in God and now they both are serving Him

On my last album you heard about my mama
you heard about the drama probably thought she was a goner
you wrong bruh Now in Christ my mama's stronger
she aint enslaved to the liquor bottle any longer
God brought my mama back, this is restoration
You can bet I'm praising Jesus for Her destination
When I look at Her I know that God is real
Her old ways disappeared david copperfield
Shes living proof that Jesus rose from the dead
use to let the alcohol Go to the head
now she living for her savior and she knows what He said
She on that living water and Psalms 40 instead
Yeah, so when they offer a drink
while she's feeling down and they calling her weak
they got the alcohol and they promise it's sweet
she looks em in the eyes and says God is my strength
