HOOK
Okaaay ...(3x) let's go!!!
Ohhh ...(4x)
If you love this music of life, get your hands up
He's holy and perfect, so get your hands up
He's sovereign and majestic, so get your hands up
Get your hands up (2x)

VERSE ONE
Before we couldn't sing that music of life
Now all we play is that music of Christ
Called and redeemed, get your hands up
Love God, love your brother He commands us
We live by a different beat, check the new sound
We walk in the spirit it's like a ghost town
We exalt a holy God who uses earth as a thrown
If His thrown is a chair then a chair is my home
My sound track of life went from blues into worship
It's a daily sacrifice, yeah ya' boy knows his purpose
Never saw a beautiful death until I saw the cross
Saw the nails hit my sins, hit the law, hit my flaws
How could the banging of nails make music of life
And the rolling of a stone echo power of Christ
It's not the kind of music that make the kids jump, but it is the kind of that makes heart thump.

HOOK

VERSE TWO
It's the music that makes a stressed man cope,
Makes a suicidal cat want to drop that rope
Makes the hood drug dealer want to quit that dope
It's faith in Christ that brings man hope
Ever since the fall it ain't been much to sing about
We were born in life's grave but Christ has dug us out
So I shout I sing I keep His banner raised
116 on my heart, this boy is unashamed
of the ancient of days a God who's unchanged
I carry my bed to show the world I was lame
I will not go back to which from I came
It's like a free man who wants to be a slave
I believe in His holiness, authority and might
Now that I'm sealed with the spirit a deposit of life
If you're free from the bondage get your hands up
Sick of low living, He turned our lives up

HOOK

VERSE THREE
It's the music of life that makes kings bow down
Makes the lowly up rise, open the blind man's eyes
His eye is on the sparrow; I walk the straight and narrow
Cuz' He is known to break the will of stubborn mules like Pharaoh
You can travel many cities, even nations over seas
Hearing stories of a Sheppard who gave His life for His sheep
And how he prepared a home after death for His peeps
Because He defeated death with a three day sleep
And now we write music to make the King blush
We got a crush on God, He choose not to crush us
But man's great tension is to steal God's fame
But He's had it since the sixth day ain't gon' change
The clouds are His high hats, the mountains are His keys
Thunder is the clap, you can hear the wind sing
If you find pleasure in the Lord, then get your hands up
He makes beautiful music I'm just a fan of....

HOOK

Ladies and gentleman, please stand to your feet for Sho Baraka's rendition of "Overrated"!

Verse 1
Look at the state of the world
Yea, I'm mad at the world
And I'ma share my frustration just a little bit.
Every brother is a thug
And while they glorifying drugs,
They look at me bugged
Cuz I wanna be a gentlemen.
And my ladies are a mess
They want value in their dress
And in themselves they don't invest
They want significance.
The young'uns quote 50 cent,
But can't count to 50 cent.
We promote ignorance
And we're so illiterate.
My Man loving that money to death
Really to death
He'll kill himself to get him a check.
Oh, but he weeped about Virginia tech,
But he sells glocks and tech
Please help me understand his intellect.
We can talk about taxes and air pollution
Government's great illusion,
But that's makeup for the skin.
And I don't wanna give problems without solutions
So I've come to this conclusion
Love God and hate sin.

(Hook)
The money (the money)
The power (the power)
The fame (the fame)
The lies and the games
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!
The lust (the lust)
The pride (the pride)
The greed (the greed)
Anything to succeed
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!

Verse 2
This cat was like I don't feel you to be honest
You should sound more street, more hood, more conscious.
And also be more liberal with your content,
He wanna make me a star, so I can fall like a comet.
I'm satisfied with the things that God promised.
I don't need to chase the steak when I'm cool with top ramen.
I'm a servant of the King; I pay homage.
I don't wanna be on top, if they put Him at the bottom
"Sho you just faking to be humble and poor,
In hopes that the LORD will be pleased and bless you with more."
No, homie, I just keep my face to the floor
When he opens the door, my views will be the same as before.
I can't be real commercial with it.
Non-offensive lyrics, get some radio spins, and give them Jesus later.
I wanna walk like the Lord, and talk like the Lord.
If we live like the lord, then the world will hate us.

The clothes (the clothes)
The sex (the sex)
The cars (the cars)
Anything to be stars
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!
The rage (the rage)
The hate (the hate)
The drugs (the drugs)
Everybody is a thug
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!

Verse 3
It could be hard righteous living,
with the freedom God has given,
but we can live in the world and keep our sanity.
You might one day be a star,
even drive a fancy car,
but realize, my friend, it's all vanity.
It's the heart at question, who has your affections
Is it the goods you love or the GOD who made them?
So for my last suggestion,
If we've learned any lesson,
The world's lost the game - its overrated

The what (the what)
The who (the who)
The things (the things)
The rat race for the green
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!
The ohh (the ohh)
The ooh (the ooh)
The ahh (the ahh)
The blasé blah
It's all (it's all) x3
Overrated!

The cash (the cash)
The cream (the cream)
The diamonds (the diamonds)
Pretty much everything
It's all (it's all) x3
It's overrated

Yea, recognize Christ is the real champion
Surrender your life to Him
He'll bring your life real value

Hook
I'm In love, I'm in Love
With a Higher Love, Higher Love

Verse 1
You've been aching for a while here is something to make you smile
We repping him proud as the worlds looking around for a (Higher Love 3x)
I'm in love with the captain of the ship
When the waves get to rockin the boat
We walk on water like he taught us to float
I got the scriptures to quote and when it seems like your boy can't cope
we got a team tight like three strand rope it aint easily broke
the mountain in front may seem un-climbable
but after his work on the cross it would seem irresponsible
if we threw in the towel because of life's small obstacles
yeah we know a GOD who makes the unlikely possible
his phenomenal love and holiness aint optional
so the world looks at us like were so illogical
keep our face in the word to be a godly influence
if you really want to know here's the reason why I do this

Verse 2
He vacated heaven to take the form of a man
if you love the LORD then throw up you hands and sing it with me (I'm in love 3x)
I'm in love with the Lion of Judah
not myself, Mohammed, Krishna or Buddha
he got a saving word its like a computer
now I excel cuz my idea of love came in the form of a bottle or the form of a model, or the thugs that I followed
but now I walk in the spirit, I exalt him with lyrics, it's the music of life I pray that you hear it
I got a listeners ear, it aint nothing but worshippers here
we walk the valley of death with nothing to fear
we got the love of GOD aint nothing but love for my squad
its real community it aint a fake
actions reflecting his grace, stay humble when we're seeking his face
you may hear this when you step in the place

Verse 3
I've been burned by the world and it showed not sympathy
I would give my all and it stripped my of my dignity
stripped my of reason, my morals and my temper
stripped me of everything I was in love with a stripper
but I love my physician he's a true life giver
I was dying but the doctor gave me his liver
in the form of his son with is arms spread wide
ready to receive any boy, girl lady or guy
no matter their age I find more people try
to find real love in some girl or guy
but love is sacrificial, love is an action
love aint fleeting love is everlasting
love our enemy, love our neighbor
love to imitate Christ cuz hes our savior
it cast out all fear cuz love is our job
love is eternal, love is our God

Verse 1
What I look like caring if the world don't feel us
I serve a God who died harder than Bruce Willis
man's born sick and he just gets ill'er
in our optimistic prime he could transform a killer
he could transform a dealer, ask Json
we were all born sinners, ask my mom
my nature's no better than Judas and that's the truth
without the spirit I'm a arrogant adulterous dude
so I keep accountability until I get old
Tedashii said, "Bring the heat cuz the world's so cold"
I gotta live 100 so my feet don't slip
I gotta live like Jacob more holy less hip
by His grace, Sho Baraka gon' spit the real
been doing that Reach life before I got the deal
called to make mini-me's til the day that I die
so on my tombstone say, "he didn't die, he multiply"

Hook
I gotta keep it (100)
My men keep it (100)
My ladies keep it (100)
We gotta keep it (100)

Verse 2
Back in the year of the 2 triple 0
this random thug tried to strong arm the Sho
me and my boys on the corner just sharing our faith
this cat staring at us like he got something to say
he began to size us up acting tough talking loud
I tried to ignore him but this fool attracted a crowd
I expected some resistance but this ain't what I wanted
I had 99 problems this made 100
he looked me in the face and said if you love that Christ,
you'll have no problem with me sending you to see him tonight
I'm thinking option number one is we can turn the other cheek
number 2 is we can stomp his loud mouth in the street
but that's what they want to see us fail when they test us,
talk a good game but then crack under pressure
so I prayed to GOD, if I have to take this L
I hope out of this you would get your glory as well
so this cat stared at us for a second or two
jumped at us and smirked like I'm playing with you
I have to represent the Lord even though they were stuntin
no matter what they do we gotta keep it 100

Hook

Verse 3
They move their lips but their words mean nothing
they think God got their back but them boys just frontin
they talk loud but we can drown out the sickest boys
we like Chicago, willing to make the ill'er noise
they want toys, fame, wealth, and health
everything good without being good themselves
they want things but it's Jesus they better get
cuz hell's their life sentence like a subject and a predicate
sometimes I see the wicked and I lust for their things
but then I see the Lord and I trust in the King
hung on the cross for hours while still in his prime
we don't call him heir for nothing, he showed us hang time
He is holy, He is perfect, He is God
God is like three in one, its so odd
because of all this your boy gotta keep running
99 wont do it gotta keep it 100

Hook

Verse 1
(GOD is like)
Perfect in all his ways you come broke and he'll fix you today/
(GOD is like)
The peace in the midst of the storm you're going crazy he'll give you a calm/
(GOD is like)
The man who says that gain is lost but man would say that this is totally false/ false like the way we merchandise his act on the cross cuz man waters it down and exploits it for cost/
(GOD is like)
Sovereign and majestic king ask Kirk he's the reason why I sing/
(GOD is like)
He who make Pharaoh a mighty man then humbles him just to show that he can/
(GOD is like)
A loving father who extends love to a man who just mutilated and killed his son/
(GOD is like)
Forgiver, protector, light , mighty, way ,truth , the life,
(GOD is like)
Sweet like cinnamon, something like a lifeguard cuz he really can save a man/
(GOD is like)
Not like, he is love he's no like us, who is like GOD who can we trust.
---------
Who Is Like GOD
Verse 1
Sho
He's the foundation layer architect of the earth/ determined my end but he predestined me first/ perfect fellowship with man then man got the curse/ but then he gave himself he prepared for the worse/ he's got a monopoly in his line of work/ who else you know can make a grown man from the dirt/ be careful what you say cuz the saints stay packing/ 66 bullets 2 clips in 1 cannon/ we track stars on his team and Jesus is the captain/ he put us in a race so we run like what's happening/ he got mansions all in the sky he aint lonely/ he don't need no earthly shack he aint Kobe/ he's the real Ace in the deck the rest phony/ these other jokers just want to jack the king homie/ who is like our GOD he's just so holy/ mom said put him first but I make him one and only

Sermon Excerpt by James Roberson III

Verse 2
Cheeks
Who is like the Son you? You can test if you want /But the odds of finding one are like infinite to none/ Trying to measure up to God, We all impotent and dumb/
He rejects the strong and proud and lifts up the humble ones/ So how I sound braggin' like I'm the best/ No Christ in my life At best I'm powerless/ When it comes to Yeshua, (Yup!) I'm impressed/ Cause He rose like the Phoenix Got up and conquered death/ He's the real King Pin He alone holds the throne/ Exercisin' perfect Justice In a League of His own/ He's the heavyweight champ And still undefeated/ Quit searchin' for weakness Ain't nobody like Jesus/ Stretched His arms like elastic to save us from the casket/ Forget Reed Richards, Elyon is Fantastic/ He Flames On like John Storm Swings da hammer like Thor/ My Hero's El-Gibor Cause ain't nobody like the Lord/

Sermon Excerpt by Joe Surkamer

Verse 3
AmEn AnOiNtEd-
(Let me set the record straight)
I'm asking can you fathom this trinitarian tandem/ or imagine the thousands of atoms it took to make Adam/ who is like GOD cause HE HIMSELF is high/ we try to do it but AH! were left with me, myself and I/ Please believe HE'S on the throne while we do it to death/ I'm relieved HE'S number one cause number two is a mess/ Queen or Bishop it's best I get this mess off my chest/ we're Rooks and Pawns next to the KING plus HE'S got us in check/ (If I ruled the world) you can stop trying/ you're hov you're the soveriegn ruler man stop lying/ how you use the name hova and don't know who the KING be/ HE says walk this way and HE runs the emcee/ HE'S the KING and ROCK there is none higher/ forget the bling and the block or burn in the lake of fire/ (JESUS) the only known to wake go and fold HIS grave clothes/ went and told displayes HIS holes then raise like case closed!
