Here's a chance to show you how I feel
A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me

Chorus

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it
I am FIREPROOF
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am FIREPROOF
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am FIREPROOF
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am FIREPROOF

Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the Almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise
It's my time to rise

Chorus

You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire

Open up and reveal what's goin' on in the backroom (Uh oh)
I see you I never knew what it was you were goin' through
But I can relate I used to wear the same shoes
So quit livin' like a hypocrite and be real
Like an opposite of counterfeit
And you'll feel what it is you're really up against
Stop foolin' yourself not foolin' anyone else
I hope you're getting this

Chorus

You're not the same as you were before
Tell me what are you like behind closed doors
I can't take this anymore
To see these people slippin' out through the back door

So what's the point of even trying to hide
Cause everything you do is seen by omnipotent eyes
So come outside and leave behind
Don't be satisfied with the backslide we on the flipside
Sometimes it's so easy to cheat
But the only one's you're cheatin' are just you and the Chief
It ain't just a belief He'll be back like a thief
You better breathe get your things and leave
I know you will eventually

When you gonna come out to play
When you gonna come out to stay
When you gonna come out to say
That you'll never turn the other way

You are afraid to say it's true reality escapes you
Time after time you try to prove to yourself you're right
But your ways are not the way how long do you have to play
This game before you see I'm right it's not just a game it's a fight
You're afraid to hold out your hand don't be afraid to take a stand

Chorus:
It's a shame to be ashamed
To be ashamed of the One that we should glorify (2x)

You are afraid of the price you'll pay will you be strong or walk away
You're reasons are runnin' thin all that's left to do is give in
Inside this generation of sin there's only one place to begin
And it's at the starting line or you will be left behind

Chorus

You say it's hard to believe in something you can't see
A choice you make today will affect you eternally
Now I'm here to stay
And I've made a change
And I won't go away
From the One who gave life

Chorus

You know it's time for us to step it up
Another level now 'cause we finished warming up
So we rise up elevate to maintain fill up with octane
And fan the flame we regain all the names
The enemy took away
And like a green beret we will lead the way
Into battle so have no fear we will draw near
So that we can persevere like a gondolier
We headed straight to the top nonstop
Set shop at the top of the Rock
You'll feel the aftershock after we rock the spot
Cause you forgot these soldiers won't turn and walk
We take hard knocks come back for more
Cause we're hardcore we fight for the One who died for (you)
And like Saigon we're on the frontlines
And we carry on to the end times

Chorus

Now that it's on, we're out in the front of this marathon
With our armor on, stay strong we drive on (drive on)
Our echelon pressin' on 'til we reach the top
And you know we don't stop (our echelon)
Now that it's on

We're on the enemy's hit list
I'm hopin' you get this
You're takin' a risk when you resist the one who made you exist
Evolutionists we got love for you too but we're breakin' down
Walls seeking out the truth
I'm a soldier in this army of One
Like I told ya the battle's already won
So about face move outta the way I gotta pray for you
And this is how we do

Chorus

I wanna be a transparency live my life so that you can see Elohim
No longer see a little boy in his teens getting by tryin’ to fit in like an OG
But looking back it doesn’t make any sense
To me how I could be 19 yet so naïve
I never really thought about eternity I just did at the
Time what felt good to me

Chorus

Yesterday are just memories in my head
He paid the way and delivered me of my debt
My hindsight’s 20/20 now so it’s said
Can you believe it

After the day that I graduated that’s when
It set in being faded and inebriated
Dealing with the pains of my mom and dad’s divorce
But that was ‘81 now I’m showing no remorse
And all those people that I used to know then
I’ve changed my ways and I just live for Him
At 4:20 everyday you wanted me to blaze with you
But at the same time everyday I’m just gonna pray for you

I changed my ways I’m never goin’ back again
I’m never going back agian

As I aimlessly wander around how could I ever expect to be found
Until looking down and seeing the light at the ground by my feet
I heard angels resound and there I avowed this is the road I would take
Just to make it there for my sake now I say that I'll never break

Chorus

I can get there by the light at my feet
You've made me walk in electricity
I can get there by the light at my feet
You are my everything all that I need

Now that I see it's so easy for me to proceed on to my destiny
And let it be seen the light that you've given thee
Let it be efficiently electricity

You can take me there

Pack a bag go let the world know how you feel about it
Hit the party let the people scream and shout about it
No doubt about it no reason for you to pout about it
If you don't get it then you probably live your life without it.
So get it it and take a second just to think it through
It's not a secret you're on schedule for a rendezvous
But who knew the 'Who's Who of Voodoo'
Would be you the day you get your verdict asking for a redo

Chorus

Get up, Get up we never get down
(KJ) We be seekin' freaks out from the underground
Stay up, Stay up we never let down
(KJ) We keep it rockin' 'til you all come around

Ready or not here we come, come to seek you out
Cause you can only hide for so long in the underground
Until you're found and you scream aloud in the crowd
That you're down and you're never turning back around
So shut down the ways we'll call the days of old
And get down with the freaks that are livin' bold
Stay up we livin' life fortississimo
KJ we get the freaks gotta let 'em know

KJ-52
Now excuse me
Now what I speak is for my freaks and when I come forth
And I get down like I'm jumpin' off the eighth floor
What's the dealy for realy what you ashamed for
You're the reason that He came for and His blood poured
So behold He stands at the door and just knocks
But you be standin' at the door with the door locked
So it's a sure shot that in the whole spot and whole
Lotta y'all need to take heed the words that we drop

Is it such a crime to be a paradigm
So many people have to think it's just a waste of time
But the truth is, the truth is your lifeline
It's a sign of the changing times
Kinda feelin' like it's time for me to climb, me to rhyme
While I'm fightin' for the lost in the meantime
I don't be goin' at it part time lookin' for the prime time
People have to think it's just a pastime

Chorus

We're in the middle of an outbreak
It's no joke just high stakes
Well there's an epidemic goin' on
So be wise of the sides you take

It's a hard concept to grasp when you're playing with fire
And you keep throwin' on gas eventually you'll get burned with a big blast
We stand fast withstanding the whiplash we make it last
And raise our colors to the top of the mast
Because the sands filling fast in the hourglass
So unmask and forget your past stay on path
The world's labeled you as an outcast
Well here's a newsflash you'll never see teeth gnash

Outbreak
I feel what's real in my mind inside

Chorus

You can't escape what seeks you out
There's an epidemic going on

Listen up here's another lesson
Chapter 2 of this saga
Sparks yet another question
Are you doing just enough to get by
To try and fool 'em into thinking
That you live the right life
Or maybe thinking since you can't see Him
He can't see you
That's understandable 'cause
Then I used to feel it too
But we're responsible for every action
And like Newton there's an equal reaction

Chorus

You're afraid of what it takes to give it all away
Doing enough just to get by, just to get by
Thinking that you live the right life

It's so ridiculous to think you all just hearin' us
If you believe it let it known y'all be feelin' us
Not just the sound but the Trinity in whom we trust
It's already known who in the end will be victorious
And like KJ it's a 12-round knockout
I'll fight to the end and I'll be the one to walk out
Step out holdin' up the crown like a title belt
It's one bout the devil wish he never dealt

Chorus

It's all mixed up in your head about
What's wrong and what is right

What's right

For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue

Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible

Chorus

All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust

The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave

Stop complaing move along
open up your eyes and see what's goin on
we need to get back to the ways of the days of old
one nation under God indivisible

Chorus

One nation under God indivisible
You can't take back that, that was never yours

In God we trust

It's pressure the pleasures measure
The pressure is overbearing
Is it me myself that's caring
For every double-minded joy
And I admit that when I submit to you
I feel so unreal when I'm still
When I'm waiting for you to reveal
And from myself I seem so far away
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

[Chorus]
I'm further, further from myself
When I'm next to you
When I run to you

I was wasted embraced it but faced it
With you inside my heart you replaced it
Can't believe you have erased it
Selfishness and foolish pride
And I admit that when I submit to you
I can see all of the selfish things I do

Further from my future
Further from the past
Further from the starting line
Further from the last
Further from my doubts
Further from my fears
Further from temptation that I faced throughout my years
Further from agitation
Further from distraction
The reaction of the dissatisfaction of others actions
Further from myself
Further from my flesh
Further from my birth and I'm
Further from my death

Here's a chance to show you how I feel
A chance for you to see it's real
To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side
I will never change my mind
Try to torch me and you'll find
You can't turn me or deter me
No matter how you try
You can't burn me

Chorus

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it
I am FIREPROOF
I know my heart and I just can't deny it
I am FIREPROOF
I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet
I am FIREPROOF
I'll never bow down and you won't buy it
I am FIREPROOF

Now you know what I'm all about
There's no chance I'll ever doubt
The only one who can control me
I extol the Almighty
You want me to put it on the line
And give yield to you this time
See but I won't compromise and I realize
It's my time to rise
It's my time to rise

Chorus

You'll never take me in the fire
You'll never take my own desire
