Physical copy of my first album, Providence. There is so much to say about this project. During the pandemic, I decided to invest in my studio equipment because recording wasn't feasible during those times of uncertainty. I picked up my pen and wrote every concept and idea for this record. The release took some time mainly because I was learning the process of recording. The physical CD is top notch. The artwork and presentation are amazing! Thank you for supporting my music.

about
We all know people who have fallen away after making a profession of faith and, at least from what we can see, have never returned to the fold. Someone who appears to have denied Jesus has not necessarily fallen permanently. Just as we all know people who apparently never returned to Christ, all of us have also known people who were restored to faith after falling away for a season. This means that we should pray for those who appear to be apostate, asking the Lord to work in their hearts and bring them back to Himself. My Brother's Keeper delves deep into this issue. It was very personal for myself and the featured emcees on this song.

lyrics
Hook:
We still at war with Babylon the whore and I ain’t trying to take a Bathsheba, I'd rather stay dirty in the trenches, praying you come to your senses my brother’s keeper!
Nest86: I can still recall the conversations. It was a blessing to break bread and spend time in God's presence. We used to open up the word & read a proverb for wisdom and direction. Then You returned back to your vomit aggressive and assertive Sometimes It makes me wonder if you really were converted and that’s the sorrow in my heart that shakes me to the core You pointed me to Christ now He’s no longer yours.
It’s like there’s something vital missing I don’t know your thoughts, but I know one thing for certain, the hardness in your heart blocks away the cross. You were diligent and gifted, but little did I know that you were slowly drifting. Was it the cares of the world or the deceitfulness of riches? I pray that you repent and return back to a life of discipleship. Cause even Peter denied Christ, then later He restored his relationship, My Brother's keeper!
Hook:
We still at war with Babylon the whore and I ain’t trying to take a Bathsheba, I'd rather stay dirty in the trenches, praying you come to your senses my brother’s keeper!
Proklaim: Mass infection defection from truth I’m detecting sorrowful with a broken heart, I feel Depression, when I see those who made professions start to reject him, spiritual adulatory, idolatry deception,
leaves my mind in question. When I listen to their message, makes me think, did they ever know the only God to rest in?
Destitute of true repentance, turning from Christ reckless, without his grace given in life, you're welcoming a death wish,
An eternal death sentence gets my gut-wrenching, What more could you tell them than that Christ paid for men’s sin?
Severity of judgment increases with more exposure. Shutting out the truth leads to spiritual foreclosure, Composure blown by conviction Holy Spirit enforcer, caught up in a scandal sad to see this exposure, Examination of my life in light of the Lord's word, I look at my reflection and sometimes my soul hurts.
Hook:
We still at war with Babylon the whore and I ain’t trying to take a Bathsheba, I'd rather stay dirty in the trenches, praying you come to your senses my brother’s keeper!
REVEAL:To my close comrades
Who got lost in combat
fell asleep at ya post
taking a long nap
I wrote a long rap
come back to the cross
and take you cross back
even if
you have to crawl back
In contrast,
it hurts a lot
I wish I could reverse the hearse and stop the plot
Cut from the same cloth
picked from the same litter
But now you sound like you sipping on something bitter
Skilled
used to school me in the scripture
you was running so well; I was trying to keep up with ya
but you disappeared from the picture
like a drifter
Who bewitched ya
I saw you the other day
similar to a skeletons frame
man, I miss ya
As hard as it is
I reminisce
on sweet fellowship,
revelation popping off the page
Ministers of reconciliation
your eyes were filled with His flame
we used to wreck the stage
breaking chains
slaying Satan's gang
resisting sin with a blazing aim
Bro, I know your pain
only difference is I did what it took to make the change
saved by grace through Faith
ain't nothing changed
Remember
Messiahs married to the back slider
yeah… I'm preaching to the choir
CUZ what ya singing sounds off-key
and by the looks of things, sin doesn't look so promising…
Return to the LORD, and he will heal your ways 'O backsliding children
there's still a glimmer of hope if you feel the conviction
I pray you listen.
