DeAD (after death) Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris Recorded by: J.Perry at Gemtraxx Studios Hook: I used to be Satan’s slave I used to be buried in that grave I used to be without an escape Hey!

Got it! Good? Well then good ridings To the untrained eye it’s looking like suicide Call it a homicide a mercy killing I’m the victim the witness and the one who did it Right hand in there air Yup! I plead guilty But you got to understand judge he was trying to kill me So really it was self-defense I call it spirit defense You see my spirit depends, on the death of him No it’s not the end; really it’s the beginning The start of what Christ finished Every morning its like I’m making funeral arrangements Picking out a tombstone burial plot payments You and me fighting leads to eulogy writing That eulogy is for you not me My flesh is D E A D!

Holy Holy ! 02:27
Holy Holy! Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios Verse: Good morning good night good afternoon Where ever this album may find you? I’m grateful we get to spend this time together Golden moments treasures Family friends and peers Thank you for the time I have to pull on your ears I’m there! Right near my savior’s feet The one who repaired the breach And made it so God and us can speak The cleft of the rock I’m in Cause the glory of God won’t tolerate sin He’s got to cover my eyes while it pass by But that was Moses though! O by the way I’m from the home of Moses Malone The same streets Dr. Huxtable walked on Sylvester Stallone shot Rocky here Not the fourth of July sparks still fly in the air Yeah! I know sad sight right? Got me praying for my city on some nights But it aint all bad I got a few gripes But I’m fortunate cause I do not conform A renewed mind is what I flaunt Got to go to the scripture for them And I’m pointing to Romans chapter twelve verse two Now that’s food – feed to me by my Heavenly Father My earthly father gave me fu-fu and groundnut soup Boiled yams plantains and okra stew I’m on the horn with my father He’s putting me up on the current events in Accra Then he switch and start speaking that Twi to me I smile overlooking the way he treated me No hate just some hard feelings on my plate For the things he did and the marks he put on Momma’s face But we all make mistakes And I see him coming to grips with his sins So if God is willing how can I not forgive him I’M MOVING FORWARD!

Rescued by Death Written by: C.Frempong and K.Harris Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios Verse: I’m going to say that E G O means to ease God out And that’s what the whole thing in the garden was about The Adams family thought hey knew better than God did I’m going to make this plain- imagine a plane without a pilot in the cockpit (Look out below). But back to Adam and Eve though See everything was always good like a Mark Price free throw (Swish). But then the switch in the mind of men And that would forever change our environment See my mental is detrimental And I’m talking in first person cause I had that same Adam nature too God created us in his image And we – We took that baton and ran with it Came up with our own doctrine and religions Tried to take Christ out and put something else in it But nothing wont fit though You know! Hook: I remember when I was yet a sinner Christ came and died You rescued me I was out there didn’t even really care Christ came and died You set me free Reminisce on my sheer ignorance Christ came and died You rescued me I recall I was off of the wall Christ came and died You set me free Verse: God look at how they are twisting your words up Trying to get us to not see it as murder It wears a mask called pro choice Mattie nineteen fourteen “Forbid them not” that’s your voice Chance I’m confused it’s all of these different faiths Christ died and then rose- what’s to debate? I’m on the side of a living and true God I don’t respond to their hoaxes and hoopla Jesus is the cornerstone- there are no clones Archaeologist are still trying to find his bones Silly men there are no bones to find Ego tricks for a feeble mind Me I’m feeling fine I’m just letting that word work I can see so much clearer The smoke is gone – I done kicked cracks in all of their mirrors You cant boo-boo the fool me You know! Hook: I remember when I was yet a sinner Christ came and died You rescued me I was out there didn’t even really care Christ came and died You set me free Reminisce on my sheer ignorance Christ came and died You rescued me I recall I was off of the wall Christ came and died You set me free Chant: Gone, gone, gone My ego left it is gone! Gone, gone My pride done left it is gone Gone, gone My doubts done left they are gone Gone, gone My fears done left they are gone Hook: I remember when I was yet a sinner Christ came and died You rescued me I was out there didn’t even really care Christ came and died You set me free Reminisce on my sheer ignorance Christ came and died You rescued me I recall I was off of the wall Christ came and died You set me free

Hook: You put me in the fire for however long Till all of my desire and my treasure gone Till my so called power is devoured by the current circumstance And I’m forced to throw up my hands Outsiders inquire what kind of tip i'm on Like they aint never seen a man get his submission on When I think about everything that it cost him Man! I must have cost a fortune PORCELAIN! Verse: I’m on my prime time grind like nightline Grip the instrumental through the pencil like a python Squeezing till my breathing is coming through the pipeline Wheezing but I still keep speaking as long as my mic on Heart of a lion reconstructed and redeemed yo Know the boy saved you can tell it by my lingo Holiness wholeness restored fellowship Boldness Feed the poor check it as benevolence Encouraged the celibate Warn the promiscuous Celebrate the father’s who navigate their descendants I’m pro-life What if it was your life?

I’ll follow Every morning I’m at the feet of my high priest Throwing prayers up Yup! Our God’s great We were living in New Jersey that garden state Christ was the means to get us back on his team Check second Samuel fourteen fourteen Instead of forsaken I was forgiven Fortunately God aint stick a fork in him I deserve a pitchfork for the things I thought I deserve to be sold out but i'm blood bought Christ came to reconcile us back to God And give us a get out of hell free card And the word says the wages of sin are death So since I did not pay that debt I’m just going to praise him till his ears go deaf Or my voice goes horse first I offer my praise up first sort of like hors d’oeuvers And adhere to my master’s orders See originally I was like his enemy I wretched dude before I rescued So I guess Lord what I’m trying to say is thank you

Kingdom Acapella Written by: C.Frempong Recorded by: C.Frempong at G.O.T Music Studios Verse: Got my eyes all focused on the kingdom You wouldn’t think it with the life I came from Never got into the street stuff too much Never sold drugs cause I never had the heart to A quote UN quote-good dude And I’m thinking to myself like yeah I’m alright too I would toot my horn cause I thought I was living wrong Wasn’t it good enough that I wasn’t a drug dealer? I mean I didn’t have sex with any other chic when I was with her I had friends and cousins who were out there The life that they lived even gave me nightmares Fresh pair of white Nike airs Looking fresh with my fresh cut hair I was doing ok based on what the world would say But hold up what does the word say See the text told me That technically I was a sinner too (Romans three twenty-three) I mean I was the worst kind of sinner The sinner who thought he was right But then I got humble one night I remember it (yeah) its HD clear It was a pretty ugly scene Both pretty and ugly know what a mean?
