The Revivalist Mixtape, Volume 1 (ft Stylus, V & Big Jon)

Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)

What are you looking for?
How do you seek?
When these streets keep their stained sheets away from the sheep
Politic’n with the masses I seen the bling caskets
These b-t-bastards who wanna pass like their pastors

How many tragic apprentices of Christ gave their life for His jealousy
A felony to think you’re really nice when you get to be Sensei; Master; friend of my enemy

You think that’s real life?

While you buss caps, cuss back, run tracks, nuff slack
Movin’ in a way you done know He’s gonna judge that

I roll strapped with my weaponry of choice making nuff noise –
I got a whole team raisin’ the boys-boys-boys

I low key been an OG with homies that know me to solely expose what is foldin’

I roped in with a Ghost friend I hold my hopes in’
And ’cause I know Him I know there’s no sin

Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)
Everybody been telling me that they just can’t find a way (just can’t find a way)

I speak the loudest while the messaging remains enshrouded; clouded by parables the Son of God had gave to Pilate

A clown regime that seems to permeate our modern scheme
I seen a being who fell behind the scenes for tryna build a team

A rebel nation disgracin’ the face that really makes men
A taste of what you hooligans are chasin’

He don’t erase men; Incased in their own sin
A space bin for rubbish where you’re punish by your own bent

My whole strength depends solely on Him; He’s quite ferocious
I seen Him take a nail to the hand

A spear right where He spared such a scared guy
‘Fore this tear dries I hope I share how the King died

I’ll speak right to the end
To tell you how the Gospel is the medicine of very best friends

The Gospel’s the medicine for very best friends
The Gospel’s the medicine for very best friends
The Gospel’s the medicine for very best friends
The Gospel’s the medicine for very best friends

A revelation:
My stations to make the King known to the nations and slay sin
Abstainin’ from reigns of temptation aand praise Him
For coming all this way just save men from Satan

I’ve tasted and seen how He leans into me when I call and I plea fFor the partin’ of seas
Like a tree firmly planted, my mantle’s gigantic
I’m breaking my habits and shaking the planets

So call me Ghost face
No space realer than a known place
Closed shades bowin’ on my own face

On most days I’m a lone race
Blow grace?
No trace
Satan try test me I’m like – no phased

I’m not phased by my hot dayz
My “in the drop” ways got me caught days
Locked in the rock played

My Rock game is a long way off
From the place where I started now I live from the heart

This might seem like a pipe dream
Some in the night seen when I’m fightin’ for all the right things
My mind schemes like a knight, king
I might bring a sword a the strength of a viking
I’m right in the throes of the battle
A word you can’t handle lest He trained you for war in the ways of the Master
I’m bowed low, got the blood on my door and my flow
Gotta sow so I reap
So you know

You’re in the war right?
Can’t win this battle alone – You should’ve told em
You’re in the war right?
A long way from home when a soldier’s alone
You’re in the war right?
Can’t win this battle alone – You should’ve told em
You’re in the war right?
Can’t win this battle alone

So watch me hot step
Soon but not yet
My pops said
Get up on the tracks
And mock death
I’m not yet – who I’m gonna be
My callin’s to teach
And lead men to see
Curse the fruit from the tree

I’m a G
And my God he made me

So I spit these tracks
For His entertainment

Standin’ blameless before the only God who saved me
Cause the “G” is for General
You can’t contain me

I see them dwellin’ in a hot place
Mocked grace
Locked chains
Don’t know what they want but yet they always
Knock change
Hot stakes

You don’t wanna battle with the God who the rocks praise

How are you not phased?
Hos-tage
Wrong cage
Wrong place
Wrong time
Soul crime
But I know a better way to live life
Full time
But you must surrender to Him
And I hope you write a song for the glory of King

I keep it real in this rap game
I got a sword in my Spirit and I keep it for these lyrics, like
I keep it real in this rap game
This ain’t no hyped up trifflin’ lies of what they write, I
I keep it real in this rap game
I see the remedy for change is what you’re puttin’ in your brain
I keep it real in this rap game
So I write every night so the skills can maintain

I rock peace on beats like drop sheets
I’m paintin’ you a vision like the Mona Lisa listen
Beyond the childish dissin’ I be tryna bring you wisdom with the energy of Solomon while burning down the system
I be a Christian whatever that means
I seen the cats from ancient days were simply livin’ out the dream esteemed by their surrounding peers of living clean
They be lookin’ at us seein’ the Christ; a little Him
But sins cost and the reason I’m blood bought:
The undisputed Champion of the World came down to crush cross enemy lines,
Brush fire that would ignite to this moment in time and now shine revivin’ light
So I tell em sit tight and don’t fight; reject the hype
And see the generous heights to which thoughts can now abide
If you would open your eyes to perceive what’s been in sight
I’m talking spiritual mind; the true Scribe of what I write

I keep it real in this rap game
I got a sword in my Spirit and I keep it for these lyrics, like
I keep it real in this rap game
This ain’t no hyped up trifflin’ lies of what they write, I
I keep it real in this rap game
I see the remedy for change is what you’re puttin’ in your brain
I keep it real in this rap game
So I write every night so the skills can maintain

The f-t-f-t-faith name’s moving like a fake game
The b-t-blind must see before they set to speech
The R-k-r-k-rap game is movin’ like the trap game – What
This ain’t the platform for playin’

So you wanna be an artist “artist!”
All hands on deck
You better show the man respect
With dialect he expresses
And manifests this body of work
That he claims to be his best yet

And yet I see something similar G’s
Who’ve been up in the game for long-er than I could breathe
It’s like a tree bein’ painted on a block
Then you follow the same stock
And wonder why you got
Dejected and disrespected
Reality check kid
You’re only spittin’ what the last dude did
Instead of cultivatin’ learnin’ til you make it your own
You’re only spittin’ what you heard and now becoming a clone

I don’t condone when you do this with rap
But in fact I’m really talkin’ about spiritual tact
I hear kids of every age who think they’re spittin some facts
When in fact the things they say ‘bout the Savior is whack

Don’t really know what I’m doin here
Where you at when I call you?
(Right here)

I’m drugged out livin’ in constant fear
When are you gonna come through?
(Right there)

My unbelieving, heart is screamin’ “Are you leavin’ me?”
(no never)

Filled with poison that I’ve chosen, please awaken me

Ah!
So now we’re gettin’ to the crux of the matter
The fact that we think that we’re smarter than average
The master of our own domain
The very thoughts that bring the kinda hopelessness that’s causin’ us pain

In-sanity is what I behold among the sheepfold
Olden writ still exists but yet the sheep go close to sin achin’ to do the same thing
Pulls us in and pretends to be a good thing

Deception feeds on our intimate needs to be seen beyond the pasture where limits exceed
I get cheesed to know my own choices lead me to bleed
As I feel you gettin’ closer my worries recedes

Had a team that once surrounded me, but now I’m all alone and far from home – I’m in the enemy zone

But I’m thankful that you’re still enthroned
I know the faults my own
I think I’m ready to surrender my all

Don’t really know what I’m doin here
Where you at when I call you?
(Right here)

I’m drugged out livin’ in constant fear
When are you gonna come through?
(Right there)

My unbelieving, heart is screamin’ “Are you leavin’ me?”
(no never)

Filled with poison that I’ve chosen, please awaken me

P-t-picturin’ pastures where I’m sittin’ the Master and laughin’ hereafter
When I think of the disaster my life could’ve been had you not died for sin
And I didn’t repent with new thoughts; new life begins

I see a faint glimpse healin’ my pains since
I opened up my heart and I left You to reign, King

I honestly, for real feel foolish. I mocked zeal
And how i just could not see when harmony dropped me

The locks peel away
I feel a brighter day is underway for your children who pray

I strayed hard, but I’m comin’ back with power to sway those broken hearts that search for you and feelin’ the same

I know my pain has a purpose
My life isnt “churchee” but still You always seek me like I’m worth it

That’s why I’m puttin’ You first now and breakin’ from the curse, wow
You’ll find me workin’ on Your return cloud

Don’t really know what I’m doin here
Where you at when I call you?
(I’m right here)

I’m drugged out livin’ in constant fear
When are you gonna come through?
(I’m right there)

My unbelieving, heart is screamin’ “Are you leavin’ me?”
My body’s achin’, slowly breakin’

God awaken, please!
