"No Sleep Tonight"

"No Sleep Tonight"



Oh that's the sound of love
Oh that's the sound of love

I just wanna get away with You
I just wanna fly away from what I see
Every time we fail it falls on You
Another reason for the world to not believe

See it don't feel right
When we hurt and lie
And we judge inside
Now love's been erased
You can try and hide
But no sleep tonight
Till we get this right
Let's talk about it

Let's talk about love, life, faith, patience, grace, forgiveness
If not, whose gonna sleep tonight?
'Cause I'm not right
If I kill your light that you have inside
Tell me how do we sleep tonight?
How do we sleep tonight?

I just wanna get away with You
To make sure everyone could see the God in me
After Sunday we don't love like You
And how we treat each other is a mystery

See it don't feel right
When we hurt and lie
And we judge inside
Now love's been erased
You can try and hide
But no sleep tonight
Till we get this right
Let's talk about it

Let's talk about love, life, faith, patience, grace, forgiveness
If not, whose gonna sleep tonight?
'Cause I'm not right
If I kill your light that you have inside
Tell me how do we sleep tonight?

Can't close my eyes
Change me inside
Give us Your light

Oh that's the sound of love
Oh that's the sound of love
When you have no words to pray
Your faith can't find a way
Oh brings you back to love

If I don't like my neighbor how can I love you?
Today is a new day so let's talk about it

Let's talk about love, life, faith, patience, grace, forgiveness
If not, whose gonna sleep tonight?
'Cause I'm not right
If I kill your light that you have inside
Tell me how do we sleep tonight?

Oh that's the sound of love
How do we sleep tonight?
Oh that's the sound of love
How do we sleep tonight
Oh that's the sound of love
How do we sleep tonight?
Oh brings you back to love

God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son. Whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
That's the sound of love.

"Nobody"

"Nobody"



People talk about the way I dance, dance, dance
They think it's funny when I lift my hands, hands, hands
All the things I've been going through
I'm telling you if you only knew

This joy is real something you can feel
All my heartbreaks and my heartaches
Though I couldn't take, You were there
Holding me and molding me reminding me that You care

You're on time, never coming at the wrong time
Always there that's a long time
I'm not ashamed can't help
But wanna praise Your name

No matter what the people may say
You can praise Him anyway
You may have to cry sometimes
But I promise you'll be alright

My brotha if you just hold on
All this pain it'll soon be gone
Can't nobody, nobody
Nobody do me like You do me, nobody, nobody

Tia doro Jese
(I worship You Jesus)

Can't nobody love me like You
(Like You)
Give me joy like the way You do
(You do)

When I'm alone and my faith's gone
I heard be strong, I knew it was You
A spiritual love affair
Knows how much I can bear
Can't nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

No matter what the people may say
You can praise Him anyway
You may have to cry sometimes
But I promise you'll be alright

My brotha if you just hold on
All this pain it'll soon be gone
Can't nobody, nobody
Nobody do me like You do me, nobody, nobody

No matter what the people may say
You can praise Him anyway
You may have to cry sometimes
But I promise you'll be alright

My brotha if you just hold on
All this pain it'll soon be gone
Can't nobody, nobody
Nobody do me like You do me, nobody, nobody

Pienso en ti
When I think of You Father
Y mi corazon se llena de elegria
My heart is filled with joy
No se pueden medir tus bendiciones
You have blessed me beyond measure

Nobody no, nobody no, nobody no, no
Nobody no, nobody no, nobody no, no
Nobody no, nobody no, nobody no, no

Rap, what the deal now
Holy spirit you can feel now
Cats want to keep it real now
But love is spiritual

I'm giving you knowledge
Because it's critical and lyrical
You know I'm on your heels now
I won't stop I can't stop

'Cuz you know His grace and mercy
It'll never drop who flop? Not me
To Metropolis ain't no stoppin' this
Ain't no poppin' this
And all my ghetto children who be rockin' this

"Outro"

"Outro"



I refuse to be another black statistic
A black man who can wine and dine in the sin of the world and still be considered a christian
I plan on being great
I care not to be less
I refuse to wear a barcode across my chest
I refuse to let a black tee or throwback jersey define me
I refuse to let my children witness divorce
Or make mature decisions in court
I refuse to grow up carrying the generational curse
I refuse to feel the need to curse in my verse
I hate being automatically looked at when someone asks can anyone rap
I wanna be a black man that can flip it from urban to corporate measures
A black man who doesn't gain knowledge from the world for his own pleasures
A black man who reps christ to the fullest with no regrets
My only regret is the stigma that many black statistics in the past have set
Like going to jail, bragging about bail, leaving our kids, cussing at church,
married and you still flirt, no father present at birth
Animosity within the ministers of our church
I refuse to let my people be viewed as temporary
I plan on planting a seed not for the moment but for one thats legendary
As for statistics
My father broke the mode
And i feel its my job for the next generation to continue in it
Because i refuse to be another black statistic

"Over"

"Over"



It's not over
If you've got air to breathe
It's not over
Don't believe everything you see
You're a fighter
Weapons from somewhere higher
They light up when you're closer
If God says it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up)
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up)

It's not over
Please tell that to the weight upon my shoulder
If joy comes in the morning how much longer
Do I knock on Heaven's door 'cause it won't open
Can't breathe, too broken to believe

See I know that you've been here before but
But if you look closer
The thing that didn't kill you made you stronger
That's why it's not over

It's not over
If you've got air to breathe
It's not over
Don't believe everything you see
You're a fighter
Weapons from somewhere higher
They light up when you're closer
If God says it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)

Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
You're running but you don't know where you're headed
The prize is never greater than the lesson
The cross you carried really was your blessing
So breathe
Can't fight what you can't see
(Come on)

See I know that you've been here before but
But look see you made it
All the nights you hated
They just made you stronger
That's why it's not over

There was a time I thought my chance was gone
When the rain stopped I knew I'd make it home
I feel better

(Hello it's not over)
When the bags are packed and it's looking like the end
(Hello it's not over)
When you pray every time you pull up to the ATM
(Hello it's not over)
When your enemy turns out to be your best friend
(Hello it's not over)
Give thanks 'cause after each storm new life begins

See your job and that money
It's just a resource
God is your source
And the Source wants you to know

It's not over
If you've got air to breathe
It's not over
Don't believe everything you see
You're a fighter
Weapons from somewhere higher
They light up when you're closer
If God says it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)
Get up 'cause it's not over
(Yeah get up, get up, get up, get up)

Get up 'cause it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over
Get up 'cause it's not over

"Pray For Me"

"Pray For Me"


Pray for me, I'm afraid that I'm about to lose it all
Pray for me, I don't need gravity for tears to fall
You can keep your fancy words and your coloured lies
Nothing super-spiritual not this time, just pray for me
Cause judging me is not helping me to grow
Pray for me, see the wrong I've done I already know
Will you love me if I'm dirty and I've lost my way
Till the blood is washed me white and I'm no longer grey
If I don't need your approval will you let me stay, and pray for me

Pray for me [x3]
Pray for me
Please pray for me
Let's pray!

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it in heaven
Give us our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us
Lord lead us not into temptation but deliver us
From evil for thine is thy kingdom, power and the glory forever
We are asking (We are asking you to)

Pray for me!
(Listen close, you can hear the world crying)
Pray for me!
(They are saying don't talk about me, don't judge me just get down on your knees and)
Pray for me!
(We wanna be greater, we wanna be stronger but help us please)
Pray for me!
(The only way I can make it through the day)

Pray for me
I'm afraid that I'm about to lose it all

"Real Love"

"Real Love"


Look in my eyes and you will see
The way real love used to be
When the flowers bloomed in the spring time
And happiness was all mine
It's hard to let my feelings show
But I've got to let somebody know
About the love that Jesus has given me
He loosed my shackles and set me free

Is this a dream or is it reality?
Have I finally found someone who loves me?
I just want to know

[CHORUS:]
Have you ever loved somebody
Will you ever love somebody
The way that Jesus loves you

[Repeat]

Over and over I ask myself
Could there ever be anyone else

Who can give me so much joy and peace
And make everyday oh so sweet
I searched all over couldn't find one
Til I met His only begotten Son
At first I didn't understand
Until I saw the nailprints in His hand

Is this a dream or is it reality?
Have I finally found someone who loves me?
I just want to know
I just want to know
I just want to know

[CHORUS]

He loves me [4x's]

[Repeat]
