Well it seems like we've done this before Come on party people I'm needing some more Calling all dancers report to the floor Shutting down shop never minding the store Last act was starting to bore I take the stage now their starting to roar (Alias) Their screaming encore Encore I guess they want more When it comes to my sales hope your not sore Fresh off the stage so you know my breathes short Securities something I can't afford not to have When i'm leaving the port 1 to the 2, 3 to the 4 So many flows which I know you adore When i'm on the mic keeping up is a chore Anchors up were coming ashore cause We Came Here 2 Rock We came here 2 We came here 2 We came here 2 We came here 2 Rock Came from the bottom rose up to the top I've been known for making spots hot I'm just getting started so why would I stop Come to the spot blow up the whole block Is it time to bounce let me check the wristwatch Semi-Automatic it sounds like a glock Blow-Blow I'm moving the crowd Yeah-Yeah That's how I get down Sub-woofer pumping keep moving them sounds Crowd jumping we bumping around Slumping and dumping we stomping the ground Looking for something grab someone right now Fist in the air pump while you pound Once i'm here people surround Even if deaf your still feeling the sound Even if deaf your still feeling the sound

I've been sent by the Lord from up above To come down to this earth burn up the whole club Someone sound the alarm it's been mixed by Dub Now everbody everybody showing me love I've been sent to clean house and shake up the rug Taking out trash and erasing mean mugs If men are from Mars let me head to Venus Etnie skate shoes when I walk on the carpet Only heard a little bit so allow me to start this Spark this party off ima leave it sparkling Dancing all night I can barely walk when it's time to leave Find me shadow boxing with a shadow of myself On the floor beatboxing Yeah that's right I'm precariously rocking Said it before ima say it again This is album number one I don't plan on stopping I don't plan on stopping I don't plan on giving up I don't ever plan on quitting I have been blessed with too much see I started at the bottom but now things is looking up And i'm glad to see these footprints When these times be getting tough Walk up in the club like I own the place All eye's on me when i'm taking the stage I got a track so hot that you can't complain Messing with fire c'mon fan the flame Name brand Alias you could know him by name Ima just throw it out there it's still the same Only thing changed is I removed the fake Fell off track now i'm back no mistakes And I must admit yes it does feel great Been a hot minute but it's worth the wait Doctor, Doctor call a nurse Emergency Room drop it hot till it hurts Competition leaves with 3rd degree burns Aloe Vera when you gonna learn Listen up fella better wait your turn No standing in line this my time for sure I don't plan on stopping I don't plan on giving up I don't ever plan on quitting I have been blessed with too much see I started at the bottom but now things is looking up And i'm glad to see these footprints When these times be getting tough 911 Better call in the fire Alias is here other rappers retire No need to bow don't you call me sire I'm just sick of rap cats and they false satire Drop another dance track to start the night up I'm the firing squad and your in the lineup So lineup boy cause your crossing that And you better think twice before you cross that line There's a balance so fine that you just might find My equilibriums all off time Sneak up from behind because im out my mind Eating grapes dangling from a tuna fish vine Try to make sense out the last dang line I've tried and tried and tried just can't find it Anyhow that's the way I designed it And wrote it in a rhyme mixed with perfect timing I don't plan on stopping I don't plan on giving up I don't ever plan on quitting I have been blessed with too much see I started at the bottom but now things is looking up And i'm glad to see these footprints When these times be getting tough

Higher 03:22
Been gone for a minute now i'm back on the map I got my shoes laced tight plan on running this track I had some things messed up from the crew that I ran with And at the time I didn't know it but now I understand this Theres demons in this world full of selfish schemes And they filling up their pockets and belly's on peoples dreams Motivated only by the essence of money and greed And they blend in oh so easily I must admit I was stooped yeah fooled by the best And I was starting to blend in and look just like the rest of the world from which you called me to be set apart from Lord im sorry right now feel like the prodigal son Let me come home Daddy cause im missing Your arms Need to feel Your touch right now could You clear up this storm Did things on my own for way to long And now it's all messed up could you hold me strong I'll go ima give it all and I won't slow Ima show the world what they don't know Ima be the one ima be the one when im done When I make it higher If I made it this far I can make it anywhere No wonder i'm having trouble No wonder it was a battle I was shining as bright as I could and barely casting shadows Thinking I could still hustle nothing wrong with flexing muscle Whole time I didnt trust You and the words that I read That said you really cared Knew me to the core Had my number down to the very hair But You were always there in the air I breathe Watching over me protecting me from these evil things Lesson learned Some things You knew I needed to see in order to produce a change in me And finaly now im starting to see Inadvertantly I thank you G I pray for you hope you pray for me Might never see a day in this life where we make things right between us But you best believe ima catch you on the other side in the midst of Jesus shrugging off these trivial reasons that brought us about these problems in the first place If saints can't even get along why would anybody want to jump on and ride this thing on out to the end you called me brother I called you friend even went as far as twin said you loved me I believed you then? I'll go ima give it all and I won't slow Ima show the world what they don't know Ima be the one ima be the one when im done When I make it higher If I made it this far I can make it anywhere

Well I know iv'e done things that hurt you lord I even spoke words against you Lord And even though I turned my back you was with me Lord I thank God for the gifts that You give me Lord I serve one God He's a God thats alive And I pray when people look at me they see You in my eyes How many times have I failed fall flat upon my face Tripping over my own shoestrings I never bothered to lace Thats a metaphor I use to describe my wicked days To busy with the world I was caught up in it's ways Like i'm running in a race and i'm taking last place To You Lord I swear I must be such a disgrace But through the love of Your Son and His amazing grace All my sins have been forgotten everyone has been erased Now it's heaven I can taste I proclaim this is true I'm an heir to The Kingdom and so are all of you I can still remember a time God wasn't always on my mind in fact I pushed Him back behind and I couldn't wait to cut in line just to cut my own throat then I wish I could go back in time cause thats when I was spiritually broke Oh how I hope that ya'll hear this then recognize sincereness Good bye to this world yep I tell it good riddance Besides who wants rags when they could have riches Lord this is my prayer it's a prayer of repentance I'm sick of straddling both sides of the fences And through my offenses I've been living deaths sentence Could I ask ya'll to listen and please pay attention Take a look at the world cause somethings been missing Take a look at our children some still covered and dirty and they'll continue hurting cause thy don't know Jesus And thats just the way it's gone be unless we intercede And by we I mean you and I and her and he You reap what you sow I speak what I know as for me and my family we keep the Lord close See this body is the host I love the Holy Ghost He the one inspired me to write the words I wrote So if you were to die today where would you go Is it a guess are you sure I mean do you really know As for me I need certainty cause eternity is certainly To long for me to keep on burning my soul And if you feel the same well with both eyes closed After a set I show you a prayer yeah I teach you how it goes Then we'll say welcome to the family so glad to see you make it Us in Christ we've been waiting here oh so patient And were trying to reach a world that seems just beyond our nation Through these trials and tribulations you got to stay faithful Cause no matter what your facing see His word says this Invite Christ in now the next lifes Bliss

Gasoline 03:09
I noticed you noticing me From across the room Could I be deceived My heart skips a beat It's so hard to believe If i'm on fire i'm on fire because your gasoline Let me remind you that I don't mind if You don't mind if we toss our cares aside Let me remind you that I don't mind if You don't mind if we toss our cares aside Because I don't want to spend another night like this Broken hearted full of emptiness Can't you hear me crying through the night Eyes open and i'm searching for your light Wonder where you are Wonder where you've been Wonder what it is you hide behind those eyes Everytime I feel like this again I know I either need to check myself Or Check my friends Let me remind you that I don't mind if You don't mind if we toss our cares aside Let me remind you that I don't mind if You don't mind if we toss our cares aside Because I don't want to spend another night like this Broken hearted full of emptiness Can't you hear me crying through the night Eyes open and i'm searching for your light

I battle with the enemy and yes I bear scars Yes yes I bear scars,yes yes I bear scars Walk a narrow path and yes it has been hard Yes yes it has been hard,Yes yes it has been hard It's the scream of an angel thats piercing through my dreams Probably the reason that I keep on sweating up my sheets And this is what they telling me Alias stay focused Go ahead and copy cat yeah I really hope you quote this This world will chew you up spit you out until your Choked Broke and Hopeless Well Lord i'm finally broken and i'm hoping that i'm open So in this battle of principalities I struggle for control Every time I think I have it grab it slips and then lets go So i'm writing this song to the lover of my soul How long until your coming cause i'm really missing home Been stripped of my family two beautiful babies and a wonderful lady And i'm feeling so alone that it's driving me crazy Allow me to illustrate how I spend my days lately Frustrated with my face on the floor Praying Lord take this pain Because I can take no more I battle with the enemy and yes I bear scars Yes yes I bear scars,yes yes I bear scars Walk a narrow path and yes it has been hard Yes yes it has been hard,Yes yes it has been hard Abara cadabara but this is not no magic No tricks no gimmicks no flowers no rabbits Just a addict with a habit it's Your word I gotta have it So I snatch it then I grab it and if it's not your word Then I crumble it and trash it and if You will it someday This right here might just become a classic But i'm not greedy so I pass it But before I do I'd like to share with you This light inside of me thats so evident In fact my friends I think thats why they call it evidence To me it's something Heaven sent So tell me have you ever been In a battle with the enemy in which you bear scars Have you walked a narrow path tell me has it been hard Would you place on your armor and march into war Could you sustain these injuries and still ask for more These are all things you need to ask yourself Before you open the door Because I've battled with the enemy and yes I bear scars See I've walked a narrow path and yes it has been hard And ain't nothing in this world that compares to serving God Thats why i'm out here in these streets battling demons with my squad I battle with the enemy and yes I bear scars Yes yes I bear scars,yes yes I bear scars Walk a narrow path and yes it has been hard Yes yes it has been hard,Yes yes it has been hard
