    JGivens lyrics are so deep, he could rap about having a cold and I wouldn't get it until I looked up the Genius annotations...

      you can say that again! or if you have a friend who's on the same "literary" (for lack of a better word) level as he is, who can explain it to you (and that's if they get it right)

    Such a beautiful Gift you've been given! but beneath that gift is a real man: a uniquely crafted soul designed by Him for his pleasure. keep living your journey bro.. They might not get it - but he is taking you somewhere even you couldn't even imagine. I am excited to see how everything plays out because the God I have experienced is not limited to our understanding of who we think he is. You are loved brother. I hope to meet you one day!!!

    "Last time I was in Toronto, I scored 81." A 🐐 lyricist speaking of a 🐐 player. My favorite player at that. Great song, Mr. JGivens!😀

    Kind of gave my tyler the creator vibez, love this! Finally, I'm able to listen to Christian music that doesn't sound like a country or banjo type beat. Nothing wrong with them, but kind of hard to surround your self worth God when you don't like most mainstream Christian music songs. God bless you king!

    Seattle is apart of the prophecies in Isaiah. Bro I was trying to help out that night, they took the wallet but The Most High still regards you more than the birds of the air who are sold for some pence. The earth has all the elements of a battery they just want you to keep trusting what they technology does. Some demons can only be cast out by prayer and fasting. And the forefathers of abrahams seed would fast for years consistent to starve those demons harder than they became. This music is my companionship. Thank you Blessings to Yashaya
