@rapsody

u 've really travelled the country, . . .i also schooled in kaduna (command secondary school,kakuri)lovely,lively town with peeps off all tribes but 'em religious ish scares me the hell out,been to abuja(lovely roads no hold-ups),jos(a beautiful place with lovely yankee kinda weather plus very friendly peeps),kano(over populated,but ish be happening up thurr as per biz wise),bauchi(llovely suya meat with pretty yanrinya's)

as for yola . . .never been to a HOTTER PLACE IN MY LIFE,THE WEATHER IS KILLING MAN JUS TOO EXTRA EXTRA HOT,LIKE THE WHOLE CITY'S RIGHT ON-TOP OF HELL ITSELF . . .i served in adamawa state,in a local govt area called TOUNGO (4 hours away from yola), damn kid . . .no lite,no network,no water,no hospital,no banks,no nothing but alot of bk if u know what i mean . . .jus the hybrid a whole lot of cattles,fulani"s peeps(them fulani gurls are the prettiest in nigeria but not educated) and nature's like i have never seen in my whole life . . . it makes u appreciate GOD the more. NO STRESS
NO HUSTLING NO POLLUTION JUST U AND NATURE AT ITS BEST(tend to hear gods voice more clearly u know) , . . . i kinda miss that joint . .


(sighs and strolls out)

@HBRID-X
(chuckles) u can alwayz go back,U know! Dem cows cant wait to serve u a sip of dat 'milkshake'.

U were right about d fulani gurlz though (gosh)! Those femalez have natural beauty,man (compared to the over-made up,i-badly-need-a-makeover,psychadelic,'omoge lagos' gurlz sashaying across my street,all day like they actually have a destination).

The north is very serene but the calm is a deceptive and dangerous one.I prefer the obvious madness of Lagos.That way iam always on guard!

I wouldnt trade the giddy excitement of lagos for a thousand fulani maidenz.I was custom built for the streets of Lagos.Though i bear the streetz a grudge for stealing a significant slice of our life-span stuck in traffic. But we still regulate! Lagos too much jooo!

(musing) when the itch gets 2 scratch,its funny hw emceez get all fidgety and avoid the gospel thread.Like krs 1 aptly put it"i study d wayz of G.O.D,u rather study gatz and titties". Anybody can battle but hw many can spit spiritual and still keep it tight lyrikal. Only a few though many are called.

Mic Check:

Gospel rap ressurrection/
gospel catz genuflecting/
falling flat in subjection/when the name of God is mentioned!

Unparalleled dimensions/of power get released/
each time we make music/to praise d King of Kings!

Haterz speak malice/and call it sik madness/
but cant deny d deep gladness/we express with a street accent!

Christocentric/our wayz be eccentric/
view life from God's angle/
far from the trigonometric!

No apologies 2 those/who find us offensive/there's no remorse wt d flow/pls be more pensive/we only grind 4 d soulz/so the streets is more attentive!

Its a solitary path/we chose and we walk on/
christ-conciousness!/do the math and get ur rock on!

^. . .blah blah friggin' blah. The same KRS1 you quote battled Molly for over 20 years, battled Nelly before "Nellyville" dropped, and has battle gazillions of street cats.

Stay in your friggin' lane and handle your biz, don't come up knocking up on mine simply because you don't battle rap or like it. If you can't respect what i do, then don't expect anybody to respect yours and come spit on this thread.

Can't spit gospel my ass. Nobody gives you the right to classify who can and who can't spit gospel irrespective of whether they do secular songs or not. FYI, i've/i written/spit gospel as well. I have a 1 or 2 minute gospel spit recorded on my bro's phone, have written at the spur of the moment, so don't you come giving me lip about what i do or don't.

@Wordsmith
Oooh,U so sensitive!
How about puttin ur pen where u mouth is instead of over-reacting.Let me see u spit some God-lyriks that can lift d spirit! I've alwayz acknowledged u as one of Nairaland's illest Netcees but when it comez 2 God-Hiphop,puhleeze, u cant give what u dnt have!
As for that bit about KRS 1,i concede.That's why i keep my nose clean from all the battling going on,b4 someone else uses me as bad example!

What the hell are you yappin' about? I've spat gospel on the Rap Freestyle thread, I've been spittin' gospel on this thread, flip a few pages back, there's enough to act as evidence. Negro please, you are no one to tell me what i have and don't have. I don't go about hassling and getting on your nuts about how you don't battle, neither do you see the other cats do that. You stated your status, errone respected that, no one bugged you, yet you come off every now and then, yapping about how peops don't have it in them to rap gospel. You want people to respect your craft when u don't respect theirs? Talk of intolerance and an effin' arrogant attitude to add to that.

@Wordsmith
"Harsh words spoken stirreth up strife,but a soft answer turneth away wrath"

In the long run,it doesn't matter who wins the argument,coz everybody gets hurt! I'd rather walk away from it all and break bread with my people.

Gbade,i apologize 4 upsetting u.We all have the right 2 choose the path we walk on without being judged by others.All judgement belongs to the SON.I'm sorry if i've put anybody down with my posts.That's not my fortè.

Battling is played out 4 me,but yall dont have 2 feel d same.We can all get along.Nuff said!

In return i do apologize for being a tad harsh in my posts. just do what you do best playa, neither do i wanna have this misunderstanding. everone chooses different paths, i guess, we just have to learn how to tolerate and respect that.

you know what? let me post that spit i did on my bro's phone. . .

check. . .

For we battle not against the flesh and blood/
nor the Wess and Sword//
when weak ones want to test our Lord/
spit a verse from the Bible and smear the war paint/
pray a verb from your heart with a slug range/
reverse the wackness//pierce the darkness with the Light/
salt of the World, i season that spit with Heaven's might/
my knees bent, my lips on prayer/
pierecing that darkness like the tip o' a saber/
Heavenly endowed, kick bars like the feet of a jailer/
never less of being blessed, don't hate- it's the will of my Maker/
bolder grunts//shoulders crunch, you get the feel of the haters/
but i ain't fazed, with faith in Christ, my name on the Book with the Quill on the Paper/
sometimes may go astray, on my grind like meat on a grater/
nevertheless, put back on track, gonna meet with my Saviour/
Heaven's my destination and i'ma meet with ya later/

@Mailmalc
Amen to dat,brotha!

@Wordsmith
Dat wasnt bad at all.Kinda set my train of thot along eternal tracks.Talking bout heaven,here's my perspective:

Paradise & the marriage of christ/my name boldly written on the tablets of life/
i'm walking into heaven all covered in white/and i see God himself in astonishing lite!

No more hard work/making my heart jerk/
just muzik/everyday's a concert!

Hammerjack bumping/recordz spinning/
the party of a lifetime is just beginning!

Boy! Its gonna be wild in heaven/we gonna be having/d craziest fun/praising d son/while Dj Holyghost keeps blazing our song(on and on and on and on)

i just cant wait 4 that day/that i wud see HIM/
face to face/and behold his awesome kingdom!

Party catz/dat's where d party's at/
sweet heaven!/that's where my heart is at! (feel me?)

Yep! On point that was!!

Thanx mein!
Its all gravy in the navy! Keep it tight lyrikal!

U been inspired by dat script:'richest man in Babylon'.Its all gravy as long as u pay God 10% b4 u pay urself first!

These linez exploded my mental:"if life binds us 2gether/veins of siamese twins/
from a toddler 2 a man/veil covers this idle streamz!
(Some deep cyphaz right there! Just what i needed to spit d next round)

(cough) Mic Check:

suicidal feenz/chronic poisoning they vital springz/
dreaming of being starz/with d privileges the title brings!

Holding berrettaz/and A.Ks under they sweaterz/
they keep breaking the law/but cant break their fetterz!

Enraged thugz/exchange slugz/
tired of the snitching/and all the fake luv/
rather die frm halos twitching/than resort to gay clubz!

'aint no luv 4 a po nigga'!/one of the feenz sniggers/
d rest nod in agreement/accepting the bleak picture!

So they stay smoking all day/selling crack in d hallwayz/
watching life by-pass them/they on d block alwayz!

10 yrs later/still they aint nuthin greater/
watched others succeed/but they rather turn haterz/corrupting kidz tryna come up/making 'em participatorz/selling coke to they neighbourz/No 1 violatorz!

Anutha 10 yrs/and d feenz are quiet/pushing up daisys/d graves is silent/but life goes on/and d streetz stay violent/another fallz victim/and d priest says A-men!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JDUCK!
How does it feel to be 15. Luvly,unh?

Thangz aint been d same since u left out.But im still trippin off that gospel sh*t.Silent Mic Science!

Happy Birthday, JDUCK!

Save me some cake son, will ya?

Thanks guys I am really feelin da love,
Its awesome being 15 but heres a lil rhyme for yaw


I try to do right and rise above the crowd
be called good and faithful servant When I rise above the clouds
But c This life im livin is a constant struggle
I gotta take control of my life like da mic or like Brady in da huddle
Its hard when the devils the one im tryin to defeat
tryin to find a legal way to meet ends meet
Even though its a lil hard I can keep up
coz when the heats up the lord helps me keep my feet up
and put one in front of another
walk the narrow path you and one of ya brothers
lead on keep on jus doing the same
follow christ through ya life n watch me come wit da flame
used to be sittin here wonderin why im livin here
but I found I am spittin here coz the lord christ has sent me here
and this is miracoulous servin wit a purpose
doin what I love so all can say they heard it


Its not done but I guess its decent

yo rapsody you been murderin since I was gone. You two WordSmith

I really think you should try and get a label and make rap your job.

Your descriptions of what is happening is so good both of you.

Wow! This is my first visit 2 d Gospel Rap thread and im getting inspired already.Funny,i neva thot gospel rap cud be dis off-da-chain! Yall droppin some ill dopeness in here.Wud have luvd 2 analyze some of ur verses but since its gospel,i guess dat privilege is reserved 4 G.O.D.

@Rapsody

@Jduck13
what up son! Welcome back to God's Lyricist Lounge where d praise dnt stop.What ur going thru is what we all as God Emcees go thru.Here's my own piece of mind:

i hear d streets calling/my ol Gs wt whips balling/
tryna pull me back/tho i try 2 I-gnore them!/im dealing wt d drama/on my way 2 rap-stardom/diggin thru d word/tryna hit rock-bottom!

Got gurlz shaking they butts/anytime i look their direction/
they got me stressing out/tryna lose d scent of seduction/cute belly buttons/looks is heart-stopping/
they tryna take me down/wanna shut down my functions!

Secular labels wanna sign me/bt first they try 2 re-define me/
Make me dance go go/and rap for d mojos/nah! Dats a no,no/i'd rather stay low-pro/wont sell ma soul 4 no dough!

Every God-emcee/be facing d same prospects/Temptation is common to all/Its part of d process!

been around the world searching for one like you/
East west north south there is none like you/
eyes closed kneels bent communicate with you/
reign forever and ever / the Alpha and Omega
i give thanks to you/
foes would've been feastin on me if not for you/
shield me in wars lord i forever believe in you/

anytime i call on thy name u respond with fleetness
action swiftness/ from our lives u eraze weakness

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

check ma rap prayer

i stand on heaven's golden paved streets
the view's good,atmosphere is sweet

askin the Lord for his blessing upon me
blessing those i know/those i've never seen

prayin for the grace to shine more on me
keeping me strong in the face of deceit

helpin me also live a holy life
equipping me with the armour to survive

down on my knees as i beseech everyday
Lord,i need ur favour each and everyday

word is bond we murderin mayne Keep praisin
and yo hen dem demons up in ya face keep slayin
and you think im tryin to rhyme
nah I aint talkin bought poppin dem 9s
Im jus speakin form da heart from da soul from da mind

dont know what really got into my head when i wrote this man . . . . ish . . .all i know is that ur boy hurr needs Jesus . . .and he aint hard to find . . yep . . he is everywhurr


mic check 1 . . . 2 . . .


its a crazy world we living in/amazing though how the gospels creeping in/
brid's trying to stay right/ but the devil keeps pulling me in/

need fresh air/spare me some oxygen/sniff blasphemy ish tatse like sin/
so much struggle/i think i jus stumbled/ur homeboyz confused/

with the confussion/blinded by illusion/am divided like division/i see no vision/
seek forgivness from his highness /stare at my own cross like the red sea i got to cross/

am short of words, feel no pulse /. . a living dead still walking talking/
with sin i aint bleeping / heavens real and hell breaths just BENEATH my feet/damn i need JESSS . . .

. . .indeed to survive this heat/cursed is he who hangs on tree/
my palm bleeds/as the nite draws near i feel the beast/ in us as we walk the streets/

see no evil,hear no evil/only a few Gods people speak the truth /we living testimonies of lies told to our souls sold/
.grapple with reality versus spirituality/ man-kind goona end eventually/

that dont realy bother "x" till d prophets prophessed there's life-eternity/
hell burns perpetua-lity forever like to infinity /

dark clouds rose over my head as i spot 'em angels / . .so close yet two worlds apart/
am r play my part/
wrote this a lines with a contrite spirit and a repentant heart /


word peeps!

i am r thinking, i am r readind, i am r em, emm
hey, wot cn i say? i ve got a thing for gospel songs and rap. i guess u guys are good.

@Hybrid-X

Dude,dat was str8 frm a 38! Knew u wud come around eventually.U know hw we do it in God's lyricist lounge: strictly holyghosted yarnz!

See i done warned u b4 about d freestyle battling thing.2 much ego and animosity floating around.Stay bomb,negro!

Bleh, only those with a pre-over bloated ego and hidden agenda create animosity. Don't castigate or demonise Battle Rap simply because you don't like it. Your opinions stay your opinions, they are not and don't see them as facts.


@ Hybrid:

nice verse bro. . .was just coming from a fellowship of sorts, gathering kinda. . .i could tell you were inspired. Biggest props to the Lord for that. Peace. . .

@Wordsmith

Be eazy,negroe! I hve d right to give advise 2 whoever i choose wtout having u always looking over my shoulder! I saw ur post calling me out 2 battle (smirks),dats a lost cause,money! Quit testin me son,u've got ur handz full already. Dnt take my silence 4 timidity,negroe,u dnt impress me! Keep my name out ur mouth,son!
U can battle all d cats u want,just keep my name out yo mouth,negroe!!
