Entered a world full of sin as a cry baby Thought I could make it on my own but my choice was unstable Two voices spoke, one said I cain't the other said I'm able But I told myself I cain't so I depended on others Thank God He gave me a loving and nurturing mother Mom said I used to cry up a flood 'til I almost drowned But her arms where the ark that kept me calm and sound My father took a big chance, stepping out in faith Going from refugee camps into the United States It was me, mom and dad, and my older sis that made it Year later had a baby sis, despite my parents' ages Wichita, Kansas was the town that we would settle in But this was just the beginning of my life's testament Chorus: Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable Verse 2: And here we are, my dad soft spoken always on the humble Reunited with his brother, I'm learning to call uncle Talks they had about God didn't go so hot He'd rather give up his blessing to try to win the poker pot One night while he played poker at a friend's house An armed robber took my uncle's life then they sped out The tragedy caused our family bond to wither We parted like Red Sea's, but went south of the Red River We ended up in Fort Worth, Texas If this was our promise land, milk and honey was breakfast See there's 12 grades of school split up like 12 tribes I had to go through each one to proof that I could survive Found strength like Samson, wisdom just like Solomon Classes were like Goliath and I'd overcome all of them Pride kicked in while I was doing my thang But Babylon came through and made a dangerous change, dang Chorus: Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable Verse 3: It wasn't long before I started falling weak to peer pressure Skipping classes, grades dropping, drinking, smoking, whatever Coming to church hung over was the usual scene Besides I thought sitting in church was a just weekly routine Didn't help having a job that made me feel like Job Where negativity and disregard is all they would show Stress was like a big whale that would swallow me whole And I was thrown into a furnace with no where to go See God was fed with the old me, He wanted to change it Brought some people in my life, who totally rearranged it 'Til I finally found Jesus, and broke into tears Crying in broken joy which I ain't felt in so many years Had to drop that old job and my past just like a bad habit Whatever God places in my path now, I'm going at it Everybody has a revelation But Imma grind for the Lord 'til I reach my final destination Chorus: Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo Life's one big parable, sometimes great, sometimes terrible But God wont leave your side when it's unbearable We got our own story from birth to burial So here's my life on stereo, life's one big parable Outro: Yo, let me tell you something, no matter who you are Or where you're going or where you're coming from Know that you got a story to tell You are a living testimony and there's always a lesson to learn from it The question is though, will your story have a blessed or a cursed outcome?

SANDS Chorus 1: Easy is what we got living here in America We can walk around talking, wander about a path We can choose to preach freely about these words through Christ And yet we would still remain untouched, unharmed, unknown Throughout all what we call the land of the free and the privileged Verse 1: While on the other side of the globe, the world is facing tragedies Governments so corrupt, civilians grow up to be casualties Bodies riddled with flesh wounds, freshly pierced fatalities Furious shootouts from firearms shot frantically Seems like a fantasy or really a nightmare reality We here just killing fries while people's lives dropping like gravity Sad to see we're like Sadducees who ain't right with God Hardly right going on a wide route that is wrong Defiling ourselves with sin in our heart Filled with mistrust in He who guided us when our plans fell apart And taking for granted all the freedom we're given Living a life of greed and glutton, shutting doors and remaining hidden Not even tryin' to open our hearts and minds to each other Saying "God loves you" but giving nothing to our hungry brother We gotta stand up and do what is right Stop denying the good choice, raise up your voice, stand up and fight! SANDS Chorus 2: Easy is what we got living here in America Free to be our own character, we would be free from agonizing interrogations The torture, the genocides, but know this, what we have is freedom The freedom to make a difference, the difference to make a choice To have one, to be able to, to choose, to live Verse 2: If we would open up our hearts each other, sisters and brothers In a unity to unify, no matter our colors No matter the culture or creed, where you're from, where you're at And just show unconditional love to each other like that It would make a whole world of difference in significant change Bring a brighter future to all no matter distance or range Strangers no longer we fear, enemies would decrease We all would bond like close family and build in true peace, man And cease from hating bringing love into play With no more killing, blood spilling, sending others to graves If we would only take a moment and pause, seeking the cause To find a positive position in proclaiming God's laws Then everything would come through in glorious honor Christ would shine in our lives no matter if Satan's among us We have freedom like the liberty that's given by grace Freedom to overcome sin no matter what we will face, c'mon SANDS Chorus 3: Easy is what we got living here in America We are able to infiltrate, penetrate the barrier of ignorance Remember that we have the advantage to do, to help, to provide and spread The Truth, the Word, the Gospel, this hope, this uncondtional love This undeniable faith to nations bound by indifference Verse 3: So people get up off that backside and stop backsliding backwards Move forward to the frontline and help end this disaster Get everything together connecting with fellow loved ones And since we fall short of His grace, none is above Him Below the heavens we're stepping in faith now Taking our place now that we're running this race, no time to waste now It's either now or never, the timing is better If we better time the Lord in our schedule to overcome all weathers Taking a breath, enjoying life for what it's worth He knew me from birth to be where I am tonight to make it work So I'm pushing on overdrive, putting in overtime Going the extra length by all His strength, just to drop this rhyme To make sure that it counts, God is my fountain The everlasting eternal spring of life of Christ what is surrounding Me everywhere I go and thoughts that I have I'm in a better view of life now that I'm walking His path, lets go SANDS Chorus 4: Easy is what we got living here in America I can say that I believe to be convicted willfully Say that we are really in need, in need of God's Grace In knowing that Jesus is Our Lord, Our Savior God Bless Ya'll, peace

But can't come up with an answer that fits (They don't know?) My people it's as simple as this Live your life for Christ, it's as simple as it gets Verse 1: Ayo we're blessed to be Americans, some say that it's a miracle Others say we're the weakest country as far as our spirit goes But are we really spiritual? Get smart and get rich, that's our proud American ritual "In God we trust" was our motto 'til it fade Now it's the almighty dollar, the lotto or getting paid Our public educators ain't anything nice Look how they go into a frenzy the moment you mention Christ 'Cause they're afraid, they don't wanna offend the Athiest But we're cool, if you're Bhuddist, Muslim, or even Satanist Oh, my bad, I mean Pagans practicing witch craft But if we see a bible better prepare for a whiplash 'Cause they will bring you to a stop, in an instant Don't bother saying your prayers 'cause that'll get you detention Schools prep us for society and good behavior Quickest way to fit in, is to never mention Our Savior Chorus: Folks asking "Why do we exist?"

What happen to the humble few? We're still creating errors without an option to troubleshoot We're too stubborn just to seek help now So that brotherly love turns hostile The reason why we harden our hearts 'cause we ain't got God in our hearts Stepping over each other, no wonder we're falling apart The sad fact is it hasn't got any better We're suppose to unite but can't even get it together Society's slumping, the news is depressing The heat continues to increase, without any sign of progression Politicians get religious in proclaiming the Lord Only to try to gain support in what they're calling "God's war" Same conflicts, disasters but nothing is improving The world's caught in a trap and we're just falling right in to it So are we gonna stand up and fight Or just continue to saying nothing while they're running our life? It ain't right Chorus: Folks asking "Why do we exist?" (Why?) But can't come up with an answer that fits (They don't know?) My people it's as simple as this Live your life for Christ, it's as simple as it gets (It's that simple) Folks asking "Why do we exist?" (Why?) But can't come up with an answer that fits (They don't know?)

Verse 1: This is for my peeps living in a broken home Surrounded by people but you're feeling all alone Hard to deal with problems, you don't know who to turn to Last time they tried they threw it in your face and burned you This is for my folks with a dad who disappeared Under momma's house but her habits brings tears Tends to her needs while she treats you horribly But when you're in public you're her #1 priority This is for the child that is dealing with abuse Daddy frustrated and he needs to let loose Beat 'em to an inch of their life just to calm down Threaten for that last inch if they ever talk about it This is for that person that wants to runaway Problems getting thick making it hard to stay Searching for an answer but so hard to find If only you can see that the answer is inside Chorus: There's this pain inside of me and I wanna set it free I hope one day you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. I can't go another day, without saying what I need to say So I pray that you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. Verse 2: This is for the kid who thinks their parent's too strict A little mistake will get them punished too quick Parents feeling certain that they've raised the child well But wonders why that child grew up to rebel This is for young couple expecting a newborn Unplanned parenthood, don't know what to do no more Scared to tell the folks, don't think that they can handle it School, work and family, trying hard to manage it This is for that poor young woman facing darkness Victimized by hate with a seed she would harvest Going through depression, dealing with decisions Will she bear fruit, give it away or give in This is for the poor soul that wants to call it quits Wants to do the world a favor by ceasing to exist Couldn't find anymore reasons to continue If you could only see the way out is within you Chorus: There's this pain inside of me and I wanna set it free I hope one day you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. I can't go another day, without saying what I need to say So I pray that you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. Verse 3: The heart is the strongest muscle within your body It is your life battery, pumping blood through your arteries Container of your soul and the center of your spirit Everlasting rhythm to your life, you can feel it Allowing you to choose good or bad, right or wrong Allowed me the strength so I can write this song To be fearful or fearless, unashamed or embarrassed Caring, carefree, careful or careless But all in all, the hearts makes me unique We all are different branches, stemmed from a single tree We all were created to love, not made to hate Without love, the world be a terrible place But love ain't merely a word, it's an action to take A choice that you make, each moment is a moment of grace Each moment awaits, I really can't describe it enough Except to say I love you, love is God, and God is love Chorus: There's this pain inside of me and I wanna set it free I hope one day you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. I can't go another day, without saying what I need to say So I pray that you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. There's this pain inside of me and I wanna set it free I hope one day you will see all my H.E.A.R.T. I can't go another day, without saying what I need to say So I pray that you will see all my H.E.A.R.T.

Chorus: This is a lyrical fasting from whackness If you ain't blesssing the mic, fam, then please pass it Your tongue's a two edge sword that keeps slashing If all you got is garbage to spit, then please trash it Look fam, do the mic a favor Just back off with your misbehavior You don't need to front Who you think you're playing? If all you got is lies, don't even bother to say it Verse 1: This is that "I'm dead serious, I hope you get the drift" track I am over the edge hanging right where the cliff's at This' that "I can't be nobody else but me" song Anybody other than I spitting, it would be wrong This is Twisted Optiks, I don't spit nonsense I put knowledge in hiphop to hit your conscience You're saturated by what Souljah Boy told you If I ain't fit your definition of swagger, I must be old school Oh I ain't hip hop 'cause I ain't copping some hot stuff? Half the things them rappers be claiming is just a hot bluff Man I ain't brand new, I been around the way I kept my lips shut for so long, sorry but not today So much I observed, rappers having the nerve To spit a 16 bar hook with 4 bars for a verse Dropping simple catchy rhymes, tryin' to get your paper Let the tv show tell it, you ain't smarter than a 5th grader Chorus: This is a lyrical fasting from whackness If you ain't blesssing the mic, fam, then please pass it Your tongue's a two edge sword that keeps slashing If all you got is garbage to spit, then please trash it Look fam, do the mic a favor Just back off with your misbehavior You don't need to front Who you think you're playing?

If all you got is lies, don't even bother to say it Verse 3: I asked a friend once, what she thinks of hip hop She told me, as long as the beat's banging, it gets props She said the lyrics really don't matter... yeah right Soon as the radio plays it, she starts to recite Getting excited like they're playing her song Ain't even bothered that the lines portray the women as dogs Until she stops to think about it, how the lyrics are wrong But still bump the track, thinking she ain't part of the problem She don't really understand how she's supporting the cause Radio sees a high demand and starts getting involved Promoters throw a big concert and she's planning to go Other rappers see the shine and they mimic the glow And everybody drop the same song in various ways The Radio picks them up and give them various plays Society demoralized, while the problem grows So to all the trash rap fans, you're the main ones responsible Chorus: This is a lyrical fasting from whackness If you ain't blesssing the mic, fam, then please pass it Your tongue's a two edge sword that keeps slashing If all you got is garbage to spit, then please trash it Look fam, do the mic a favor Just back off with your misbehavior You don't need to front Who you think you're playing?

Intro: Build up of various news casts SANDS Chorus 1: Let's talk about it, Cambodia 1975, mortars, shell shocks People fleeing by the flock, the Khmer Rough invasion Just a moment too shy, bloodshed quickly filled the streets Knock knock, breaking through doors, busted glass People dragged and pulled out of their homes Many tried to escape the grabs but you can only run so far Before a NATO round catches you in the dome Soldiers in red quickly filled the streets Tanks and crazy communist maniacs shooting Shooting, killing in a heartbeat, in their eyes They showed an evil in progress, one by one We were loaded and taking to a place called death As they protested to why, quickly they reloaded Pointed and yelled and then shot at the rest Verse 1: Ayo the feeling is sick, still gives me the chills Thinking about what had happen in Cambodia, in the killing fields People dying left and right for a cause uncertain A radical regime was bent on making each person To give up ownership to rights and personal property Kicked everyone outta their homes to lurk in poverty Denied a choice to decide how you can live Forced everyone to work with guns poking your ribs, imagine this A 16 hour work shift with no break Lunch was fist full of rice and rain was all you can drink Your daily wages was stayin alive But if you dared to complain, a bullet lodged inside your skull was your prize Anybody educated would get instant execution If you had any smarts, you'd shut up and play stupid The stench of death was everywhere you went All of this blood shed for a cause that made no kind of sense SANDS Chorus 2: Imagine yourself running out of time, waiting in line Before entering through them hell gates, walking in And witnessing them murder their own kind Imagine yourself a part of a genocide, unlike suicide You had to abide by the tryrannical rules Using each human being involved as their death tools Imagine crying at night all alone, wondering where's your mom Where's your dad, it feels like you're talking on a phone And then all of the sudden, nothing but a dial tone Ask yourself this question, "Aren't you glad?" Imagine each parts of your body covered inch by inch By grenade shrapnels, blood covered, the pain unbearable Everybody is just staring, looking at you, now rendered, useless Verse 2: My heart goes out to everybody that faced these tragedies And holocaust where many family members were casualties Gradually, the wounds heal but left with scars Some are still haunted by these memories and left in distraught Sadly though, not every evil doer's in prison They just slipped through our so called justice system So much death and destruction these wars have brought Seemed like a slap on the wrist was all these murderers got So I can't help but feel the victims of a holocaust From all parts of the world to every life that was lost It's sad to know one's happening now Darfur is going through genocide famine and drought, but Are we to busy to stop a moment and care? Man, at least take a minute and give em prayer They deserve to live life about as much as you do I'm sure you'd want some help too if this happened to you SANDS Chorus 3: Here me out, listen to me now, everyday we live we think of ourselves But for one moment try humbling yourselves Think about the people, don't ask me how, listen to their story Their testimony, bring yourself into their lives, try understanding And relating to their spoken story, history in the making Is you making a difference to many lives, by realizing the truth In between the lines you hold the key to each day And making it easier for the people in bad times As you go through each day I ask that you pray Pray for the ones that have lost their whole family tree For the people who are stuck in chaos for the moment they can be set free Pray that your thoughts will become words, and your words, actions Verse 3: A mother of three, with her husband just searching for hope Stuck in this modern day holocaust, so hard just to cope A rebel regime overthrowing the government troops Knocking down doors, invading homes and all hell breaks loose Especially when they seperate her from her husband and kids Moved to concentration camps and forced to work in the fields She surrendered just to avoid any blood being spilled Only to find her husband and kids been recently killed The pain is agonizing crushing what is left of her heart She could've easily let go and let it all fall apart But she's determined, living was a purpose she wouldn't fail Helped the folks that suffered with her to escape from this hell Made it through a refugee camp, started a new family Sponsored by America, where's she's living free and happily It's a wonder how she can smile at all You can call her an unsung hero but I call her my mom

Intro: What up everybody? Yea, it's Twisted Optiks Just wanna hit yaw with something, you know Something to put on your mind Uhh, you know, life is really short, don't have too much time To do everything you wanna do, but at least we gotta do it right You know what I'm saying? Verse 1: Yea, need to get my mind straight and my rhyme right Forget waiting for the moment to come, the time's right Can't waste a minute more Opportunity comes knocking but ain't always in a door Sometimes it hit you like a moment of clarity Gots to grab hold because it's here temporarily If I don't take advantage of it I don't know when the next chance is coming I hope and pray that I have today To make a change in this planet that is burning away We're slowly losing our morals and values Just to stay fly, fresh styles and what have you's But I, rather fight, going against the grain This path can get lonely, exposed to the pain As long as I know that there's joy at the end of the road Imma stay moving forward and just carry the load Chorus: They say ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Verse 2: Look, to many of us, starving ourselves Denying any advice or stopping for help The main problem's our pride, we hold ourselves too high Can nobody telling nothing 'cause we're just too wise You ain't trying to hear me if the truth is critical Well if the shoe fits I suggest you get a pair Well aware that I may catch backlash and trash talk But what I say I only say 'cause I care Many times I get discouraged and reluctant to share Feel like all the knowledge I drop's falling on deaf ears If I can catch attention of at least one soul Then there'd probably be a chance that there maybe some hope But it seems so bleak right now When you look at a world that has evil entities running our lives They doing a smooth job destroying society Keeping our mind occupied by being online Chorus: They say ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Verse 3: Have a look around, ain't seeing the signs? These are our last days, these are the end times Many rather be comfy, living a life blind Fading into darkness, punished by The Divine Gotta get on my grind, my soul is reminded If I am outta line, I will pay the fine The wicked commits crimes hoping that they will win But mighty's the Most High, victory in the end, yea Chorus: They say ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Ignorance is bliss but I'd rather be awake Wake up America, our lives are at stake Get up out that sleep and put food in your head Be it books or cooking, we gotta get fed Outro: Ayo you hear that? It's your alarm clock It's trying to tell you to wake up Ain't got no more time to sleep on this I mean you look all around you, you see what's happening You know, I hope it wakes you up You see all the natural disasters I can't even call it natural but I just know That things are going on in this world that just ain't right So all I'm saying is, you gotta get right Because you have no idea what's ahead of you I mean, you know, you ain't gotta be scared, just be prepared That's all I'm saying, be blessed yaw, peace
