"You KNow The Time" "You Know The Time" This album is a collection of songs that meant a lot to me,sort of a greatest hits that you never heard.I wanted this album to be a foundation so I wanted to put these songs out first,but the next album will be the new stuff it will be a theme album titled "Gospel Hip Hop" trust it will be ahead of the curve and bangin.But right now lets talk about this one "You Know The Time". "Now God" The reason this song is on the album is this song was the first song that I had written after I was reborn back in 1995. The church had a prison ministry and I sat in the back of the church for a year and no one knew what I did but they asked if anyone would like to go to the prison and help well I said I would then I let them know that I rapped for God and that I thought the prisoners would open up to it,needless to say everyone in the yard came to the room when they heard the music jump off and many of them stayed to listen to the sermon,the first lady liked it so much she asked me to do the song in church and the kids loved it, so it was the first song in Gods name that I performed too. The message is simple no matter how long it takes or seems to take in your eyes ...stand cause God is always on time,always.God bless. "Remember" This song is about the kids reflecting on how it used to be before the Colubine generation,before God was taken out of the schools and whats happenin now because of this.So this had to be on there the kids are our future 4 real,God bless em (I remeber yesterday) "America" This song was written shortly after the 9/11 events when everyone was all of a sudden screamin God when they shouldve seeked out God from the get go.I deal with how we have taken God out of our lives,our schools,our courts...etc(God bless America and America bless God) Of course songs like "Hold On" and "Stop That" are a result of where Im at(Cali) and what our kids are influenced by,gangsta music and the gangsta mentality.Expect me to touch on that subject some more on the "Gosple Hip Hop" project. "The Way" This song is on the album for the simple fact that Jesus is the only way,thats it end of story.Heres the hook. [Jesus is the way and the only way/You got to drop to knees and you need to pray/Pray to the Lord and confess your sins/Cause thats the only way youll be getting in] And of course "Family and Friends" "Family and Friends" is a result of my moms request.It was our familys turn to host the family reunion so mom tasked each of us kids to do something to make it work,so my mom tasked me to write a song for the event so i wrote "Family and Friends" in the summer of 2003.This was the last song to be placed on the project I hope you are blessed by the songs as i am and if you are then support family and cop a copy of the foundation and stick arround for the rest of the building blocks to be placed on top.God bless and keep me in prayer that my steps stay guided and grounded.
