Satellite

everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath i take
I won't take it for granted (i won't take it for granted)
So i learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So i trust in love (so i trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind
Chorus:
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And i think i can fly

Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How i feel inside
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that i know this
So beyond, i can't hold this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that i've seen you
I can never look away

Repeat chorus

Now that i know you
(i could never
Turn my back away)
Now that i see you
(i could never look away)
Now that i know you
(i could never
Turn my back away)
Now that i see you
(i believe no matter
What they say)

Repeat chorus twice

Time goes by and god knows i try to carry on with life
Decide not to hide feelings inside, even though they hurt
Sometimes, i forget to remember you
It's easy to lock away the pains, don't want to relive it through
But i stay strong, you taught me how to move on in this world
I married my sweetheart, even got a little baby girl
I wish you could see her, i swear she looks just like you
If you can hear me, show me a sign, please send her a butterfly or two

Chorus:
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I know you're so much better (we made it through)

Now i know what it means to live for someone else
To give up yourself
Things have changed, at times it gets kind of strange
Your love remains the same
Do i make you proud? mama, can you see me now?
Whatever is good in me is because you showed me how to take love by the hand
And so now i can share you with my baby
So that she can understand

Chorus

Ending chorus:
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I know you're so much better (we made it through)
I'm thinking about forever (missing you)
I'm tripping on whatever (hearing you)

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big s.d.
And rock the masses, from madrid to calabassas
Tijuana, mexico, bootleg demos in tokyo
They know me though, 'cause i be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

We rep. the south, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, i know this without a doubt
'cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

B-section:
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! it's alright!
I know you know, i see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! it's alright!

Chorus:
Boom! here comes the boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the south
Boom! here comes the boom!
How you like me now?

Bridge:
Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot.

Skillfully tested, rhythmically possessed with rhymes
And when it was time, jah gave me the mic after he blessed it
He said share the loving, prepare them for the second coming
Beware of the false prophets, because they got my people bugg'n
Put on the full armor, cause you know these fools they're gonna wanna
Talk behind your back, but stay away from the drama
You know that i'm gonna keep you safe inside the palm of my hand
Cause you the man and that's word to your mama
So give it to 'em, it's themselves that they're fool'n
Gotta head of the game too quick, what they lack is ol' school'n
You know who's who, whether or not i'm talking to your crew
It's up to you to keep it true, nuff respect due.

Chorus (x2):
Dem test me crew, but dem can't get with this
Dem all the same, talking wickedness (nonsense

I message, written in rhyme, prophetic
Teachers amongst the skeptics and guiding the misdirected
Infected with their lies and their alibis
With their third eye blind, out of line, they try to prophesy
I and i unfold the mysteries told
From the futuristic realms to the days of old
Make straight through the path of the one voice calling
Truth shines, back again two times in the second coming

B-section:
I am the messenjah x 4

Chorus:
This i pledge, and i'll take it to my death
I'll lay my life down for you and die over again
I and i, i'm not ashamed of the most high
Even if i die tonight, if i die tonight
This i pledge, and i'll take it to my death
You can bet your life on my words and everything i said
You can't take away my love for this sacrifice
Even if i die tonight, if i die tonight

True king descendant, master to the apprentice
Pleased to release and reveal in me his presence
Forever blessed, i believe if jah said it
The word of life came alive in the scriptures

You're not who they say you are
They made you the enemy
(christ-jah flesh; christ-light within; christ- beginning and the end)
Taken something so beautiful
Painted a new picture that makes me sick
(christ-witness; christ-living one; christ-first and the last)
Feed our minds confusion
Sweeten the taste of pollution.
(christ-word life; christ-resurrect; christ-everlasting jah)

Chorus:
Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me

I refuse to be like you
Without life, caving in
(christ-jah flesh; christ-light within; christ- beginning and the end)
I surrender, giving up all that is me
Yielding to you
(christ-witness; christ-living one; christ-first and the last)
Shape me in my brokeness
Empower me forever
(christ-word life; christ-resurrect; christ-everlasting jah)

Chorus

Outro:
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that i know who you are
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that i've come so far

masterpiece conspiracy


Evil eyes behind their smiles
You swallow it up when sincerity lies
Lock me up, label

last day of the rest of my life
I wish i would've known
Cause i would've kissed my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that i loved her and how much i care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, i just did what i always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before i skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but i didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But i couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid
Even though i sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

Chorus:
We are, we are, the youth of the nation

Little suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the whirl
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

Chorus

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

That i feel inside, i'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

Chorus
