THE NAME IS GOD

Your name never said the same way

With a pure heart, the meaning will never change
Ancient beyond the hands of time
Search past your own mind the name you will find

The name is God
Is the same no matter how you say it
Peace and love is divine goodness

The name is Jehovah
No need to say it over and over
You are a soul, and he knows you

The name is Dios
Your need for him comes and goes
He is always there even when you don't think so

The name is Kami
In your heart, you can believe anything
Even when freedom isn't a real thing

The name is Theos
No one can tell you what you already know
Why give a man all the control

The name is Shén

If you can't believe, you can't forgive

Remembering everything you did

The name is Shiva

A point of light I am like you

Manmanabhave is the way I think of you

The name is Allah

Same as it was when you were born

The same forevermore

No one has a claim to the name.

When all over the world it is said in different ways

5 MINUTES

5 Minutes -
As 22 years of life flashes by
No time to celebrate the new life

Life is a field with broken promises
Is forgiveness one of them

5 Minutes -
As a mother wonders why
Why doesn't the tears bring back life

To live is everyone's right
No one should choose to die

5 Minutes -
No time for quick decisions
No choice but to blame the victim

Could we forgive this
Should we forgive this

5 Minutes - 
No time to plan for the next day
No time to plan to pass away

Is there words for healing 
What are the words we are needing

5 Minutes -
Alone in the dark
As the pain burns through the heart

OWE U

Thought of u today
Just like I did yesterday
Can't believe ur gone
Without one last song

Just wanted to know u
Feel everything u do
Wishing I could be as cool as u
Giving so much inspiration
I feel that I owe u

I feel the steel strings
Pearce my fingers tips
Felling the pain just to play like u
To my self, it is something I have to prove

Listen to your bootleg again today
The only way to pay is to learn to play
The callus is being as the skin is pealing
Never playing the same note
I know that I owe u

VICE

Always in a fight with my self
Because of the good or bad, I've felt
The thought goes through my head
Just want to taste it and feel it again

Vice, wrong or right
Always have to think twice
Temptation tells you is it nice
Just one more try
Now I am caught in the vice

Had control I could see my goal
What will it be when I am old
A seed will never grow
If you don't plant it in the soil

Vice, right or wrong
Fighting the thoughts all day long
Proving to my self I can be strong
Temptation gets in my head
Now I am caught in its vice

All the good work I have done
Gave it up for a moment of fun
Just to get back where I been I have to run
No more moments in the sun

Vice, wrong or right
Just want to live my life
Nothing wrong with being nice
Don't want to lose got keep my pride
Fighting my way out of this vice

WORSHIP U

They lied to U
Telling U what isn't true
But all time dressing and acting like U
Never feeling what U went through

Worship U
From your eyes to your thigh
Worship U
Just for that physical high

U know who U are
U're beyond the sun, moon, and stars
Not a slave but still counted as a possession
Ride you towards a momentary destination

Worship U
From U'r mind to the life U provide
Worship U
Never given a chance but wait to ask for a dance

Religion cover U up
Because man has no control over himself
The government shut U up
Tell you how to fix U'r stuff

Worship U
Creative fule U are the muse
Worship U
Man wants to be the same without the pain

How can U come from man
When a man comes from U
Evolution has much to prove
As chemistry happens inside U

Worship U
Knowing so much about growing
Worship U
To be a Goddess she got to be a God

GRACE

Butterscotch completion she is a Cleopatra dream
Dark colored eyes I wish in them my reflection can be seen
In life, we all have unfulfilled needs

Her name is Grace
Such a beauty can't describe her face
Her smile could heal a broken mirror
The thought of her left me in tears

If she was the sun I would go blind
She is one of a kind
Want to be loved 2 the 9's

Her name is Grace
To describe a beautiful day is to say her name
Even the clouds in the sky spell out her name

The thought of her takes me to many places
That is only in my imagination
Caught in my mental passions

Her name is Grace
All I asked where she would like to go
Just thirty minutes down the road

A Grace I would never get to know

TRADITIONAL HATE

Lie so much you don't know words still hurt
Lay in the mud it will become dirt
On your skin, those words are burned

Traditional hate
You want to be the bully
But act like the victim when things don't go your way

You came out of the shadows
Without your mask
Lost your job who got the last laugh

Traditional hate
You want to be the king
Without education, you don't know anything

Think you got the solution to tragedy
Thoughts a prayer do nothing
From you, it is just blasphemy

Traditional hate
Don't even know who maid the food on your plate
Guess, it is the same people you love to discriminate

You want it all even  a wall
To protect us from those out there
But what about those who are in here

Traditional hate
Failing in so many ways
As the NRA pays

How much money do you need
To see what the people really need
But your children get everything they need
