D. Steele on the beat
Yours truly with techniques
Vengeance is his
Romans 12 nineteen
Yeah
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, yo
I apologize in advance
For the graphic nature of this song now taking center stage called Rage
Columbine wasn't chance
It was that behavior of some kids who were fueled by rage and a 12 gauge
Angst that annihilated and hurt the innocent
Sought their revenge for the whole world to witness it
Citizens left for dead, same thing Virginia Tech
Might've been different if God was given their revenge
So I'll complain and whine as God's son
You rather me do that online than with a shotgun
Lose my beautiful mind with screws loose to it
Screaming 'four letter words' and adding 'you' to it
This ain't venting, this is Verbally Exorcising Negative Tension
And it's not done to get attention
This is ain't a VENT, it's vocal escapism
Free from the bondage that crucifies and rapes millions, yeah
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up
Yeah, speaking of rape, I was almost made victim
By a pastor whose stature was made for weight lifting
But I refuse to give the enemy legroom
To send me another pastor showing me porn in his bedroom
He stood above my bed wearing nothing but a robe
I've often fantasized about the cutting of his throat
Slit his joint wide open, be like Wasn't I provoked
To kill this 'Man Of God' before he's coming with his stroke
Thank God for being there to give me something of a hope
Or else Christianity would be nothing but a joke
Take note, my 'revenge' is that Christ is real still
In spite of that circumstance, now I'm quoting Kill Bill
Revenge is a dish best served cold
To an enemy of God that'll wreck your soul
Dude, I'm 'Dave Grohl', you thought it was the end
When my loss was 'Nirvana' for a 'Foo Fighters' revenge
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up
This is hard, but you should listen
If Kirk Franklin said 'hello' to 'fear', I'm 'Green Day' screaming Good Riddance
And I'm having the time of my life, dying to Christ
It broadens my horizons to write
Before my life meets a tragic ruin
And you're at my grave saying Yo, Jay was a sweetheart, what happened to him
And why he let those 'phantoms' screw him
Saying he wants to shoot himself, hmmm, there's a gun, I'll hand it to him
Cause the devil's relentless, you gotta hand it to him
He'll tempt you with every sin & then he'll stand accusing
You gotta understand
He'll take you out before you even think to stand, he doesn't give a
Dude, he'll use your ex's depression and have you next in succession
With regrets and obsessions
Have your new love crying 'cause you're raging for what
My revenge? Forgiving her & not hating her guts
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh

Subliminals (EP Version)
03:44
|
|||
Yeah
This is that West Coast Sounding
New York mentality type joint
Yeah
D. Steele on it, uhh
I can hear Snoop on this joint but I ain't got the budget
I guess I gotta do it myself
Check me out now
Uhh
Yeah
You're dropping these subliminals, playing it for safe
Wanna get critical? Then say it to my face
You strut around your keyboard, feeling all empowered
Talk a lotta trash but really you're a coward
Cause you wouldn't seek me out with that live perversion
In fact, you'll deny in person
Nah I wasn't talking 'bout you Jay! Yeah ok
I'll believe that the day Tonex isn't gay
Jay Elect' said it best, never throw a stone and hide your hand
On the real, you're lacking guts from the diaphragm
I've been called jealous, malicious, bitter on Twitter in broad day
I can respect that all day
Some will say, yeah that's right. Other's like, yo that's dumb weak
Hey, at least it wasn't a subtweet
Cause ain't nothing worse than not knowing where you stand
With someone you've considered as your fam
I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Some of y'all, I can't trust to get it straight
Social network actors like Justin Timberlake
The type to call Beyonce, Illuminati
While sweating her hard, your ringtone's, Get me bodied
You gonna really wonder after this
If your boy is saved or the new devil's advocate
Do me a solid though, ask me a question if you gotta know
This ain't 'Gossip Girl', that gotta go
I know you're talking 'bout me fam, I'm well aware
Yet you dance around subject like you're Fred Astaire
You think you're Gregory Hines rocking some tap shoes
Trying to pull a jack move. Dude, you ain't smooth
You be like, Yo Jay, I wasn't coming at you
You're being paranoid, you think so? I'm that dude
Well then I'm that Jason
And you avoid confrontation like it's tax evasion, eat that equation
I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
And Christ had the upper hand
In knowing for a fact he'd be denied three times by his brother man
He knew Peter's heart, he had to catch it
Even Judas trying to be the coolest wasn't that slick
For some to man up, doesn't happen that quick
Can't watch these jokers with their Charlie Chaplin slapstick
I'm done, that's it
Hey, hit me up when what you preach is exactly what you practice
Kids on blog sites, popping off at the mouth
See 'em in the street? I don't know what you talking 'bout
You can't say it to my face, dude you gotta step
Even some church folk are not exempt
Like, Liar Liar, pants on fire
You call Kim Kardashian a ho, and you slept with half the choir
And you watch all her shows on E
That's why I can't take you seriously, nah
I don't trust you, can't take you seriously
When you're hating on Jay and can't say it to my face
Subliminal shots you wanna take
You wanna take your shots, then run away
Yo, say it to my face dawg, I dare you
You're talking all under your breath, I can't hear you
What's the matter yo? You're shy or not prepared to
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face
Really say it to my face

Unquestionably Black
02:47
|
|||
Yeah
Yo Steele, check it out right
I wear my 'Devil Wears Prada' tee
Dudes be talkin' 'bout, yo he trying to be white
Or if I say like, I'm feelin' Minka Kelly
I like Kelly Rowland too, I like black women
I dunno son
Rage Ep
Listen
Ignorance isn't bliss, ignorance isn't this
My innocence is at risk
I've been guilty of a lotta stuff, Not being black enough
Straight retarded, you need to drop those charges
Some stick to their own kind, indeed so guarded
Cause I don't? You spit at me? Ninja please, don't start it
Racism is racism, aren't we all created equal in God's sight
What you sayin'? That's not right
That's God's wrong, that's a mistake
Cause if you're hatin' on Jason bonding with Asians, that's exactly what you're saying
This hot topic's burning and this flow is the lighter fluid
There's racism even in church, that's kinda stupid
Cop to it, still you wanna stress 'Quest right
But a blue-eyed Obama supporter? Is he less white
I bump Ne-yo and Robin Thicke
And all that 'Jungle Fever' talk that you be poppin'? Quit
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him
Yeah, yeah
And though I got a girl in God's image in likeness
Some sistas will hate that she's Hispanic or a white chick
Talkin' 'bout, there ain't enough good men for our race
Yet they're fast to pick the cat quicker to smack 'em in the face
Straight crack 'em like a safe, straight gash 'em in the waist
That's the practices today, that's the character display
Of your strong black man, the one with six baby moms, every disease
And you got the nerve to be picking on me
Cause I've dated a lighter shade, you wanna throw strikes at Jay
Posing as a righteous play, but with this mic I say
Don't call me 'oreo', 'cause caucasians are brethren
Or my race you question 'cause I grew up on Led Zeppelin
I'm still black but stereotypically so
And I love my chocolate sisters, they're terrific, please note
But if God said that Jennifer Anniston type's your boo
I don't have to prove my blackness to you
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
From the color of my skin to the fact I'm the first a cop is taking in
Yes I'm black
Yes I'm that
It won't change
That's a fact
Yes I'm black
Black as I ever been
But I still love God and I'm serving him

Y'know
When we first put out this song
I don't think people really got it like they were supposed to get it
Think it's time to bring it back
D. Steele, yours truly on the beat
The Accused
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Rap’s murderous message needs an affirmative edit
While I’m determined with efforts to give Christ superlative credit
Demons know I throw dirt on their methods when my verses express it
They lost their patience/patients more than nurses or medics
Or teenage moms with their infants, breach their calm in an instant
Like terrorists dropping bombs repping Islam on our children
But this is no attack on Muslims, for what it’s worth
I know believers who everyday straight 9 eleven the church
Swinging an axe of hate instead of living out acts of faith
While greed’s filling a pastor’s plate
In mega-churches almost bigger than the half-state this Christian’s not half awake
To what’s up, so I ain’t spitting the trash of late
Family’s too estranged from kids too cool to change
With minds so twisted like they got rubix cubes for brains, who’s to blame
Is it secular artists we’re always questioning
Or self-righteousness that really doesn’t rep the king
We don’t impact a world so they can realize faith
We call Wayne the anti-Christ and demonize Drake
Cause it’s so easy, that’s why it’s caught hold
Of the church and we forget these people are still lost souls
Or souls that’s been hurt and if we pray for them often
Maybe they’ll see past the dollar signs and amazing proportions
Of the women that come around, see their spirits and dumb it down
Instead we’re quick to judge, it’s hard for me to stomach now
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you, back at you
Yo, demons had me inherently cocky
As a ‘Giant’ in my sin, then I turn ‘Saint’ faster than Jeremy Shockey
But now as a sinner saved by grace it’s embarrassing
Instead of being humble, in it’s place there is arrogance
We use our scripture favorites as a license to judge on twitter pages
And it’s real contagious
And it still amazes me, the fact that we act like we never had a past
I can’t help but laugh at that
I ain't saying pop culture isn’t suspect
Sin rules the world and we’re it’s loyal subjects
But when you use youtube, to damn another superstar to hell
On speculations, what about ourselves
The beating of Rihanna was the topic of discussion
But before Chris Brown, there was Juanita Bynum’s husband
Now ex, a pastor if I’m not mistaken
You can hate on my opinion, you could even hate Jason
But when I watch Behind The Music and witness
The story of Dmx and how it’s awfully twisted
To be specific, even after fame and the riches
There’s still a pain that’s existent, how he’s stained by sadistic
Episodes of beatings that he used to endure
Some laugh at him, others persecuting him more
There’s a heart for God there but demonic leeches are tearing it to pieces
He needs Jesus not judgment from believers
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you, back at you
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
You better watch your tone
If you ain’t a sinner, please cast the first stone
We need to take care of home
Before we even judge, need to check our own
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you
Oh so quickly we accuse
Casting judgment’s what we do
If God’s grace never came through
You’d point those fingers back at you

Radical Thinking Vol. 1 baby
Sage the progeny I see you
Preach Dat Fire I see you
So New York right now
We gotta keep it there
Let's talk about these fcg's
Fake Church Gangsta
Yo
I'm spitting this rather explicit, so listen, hear my words
There's some dudes I know who would never ever go near a church
Not like they don't love God, but they're sick of hypocrites
Fake church gangstas who be kickin' it
All up in the church pique, swear they won't hurt you
Yet criticize the sister in the church with short skirts, eww
Why is sister wearing that? Oh that's so disgusting
But you were in the club last night wearing next to nothing
Am I missing something? Who made you a beacon
Of righteousness when nightly miss, you're sleeping with the deacon
Now if you said you love Christ, but you struggle 'cause you love sex
And partying hardcore, I can respect you more
I can work with that, we're human, we all make mistakes
But acting like you're living lily white? That's kinda fake
And if you rhyme and pretend to be a gangster in your past life
For bigger testimonies? Dude, act right
Live for Christ? Yo, it's black or white, but some of us are grey
In self righteousness, they stay. Like Pastor Pagani would say
You're a Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
You're straight being fake
Live for Christ? Yo, it's black or white, but some of us are grey
In self righteousness, they stay. Like Pastor Pagani would say
You're a Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
You're straight being fake
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
You're being fake thinking Haiti deserved that earthquake
Because of voodoo worship, like who are you to curse it
Quick to judge another Christian rapper for mistakes
You're ain't defending the faith, you're being fake
You used to love Da t.r.u.t.h., Oh he's wack, yeah he lost it
But what about the skeletons or graveyards in your closet
I'm not condoning sin, but we could all fall easily
We're all fake church gangstas dawg, even me
Cause we could all learn a lesson B
Or I'll come at you with the Matthew 7:3
Or the Luke 6:42, 'cause it's awfully true
That speck in my eye, you like to mention, but in yours, you don't pay attention
So I'm back at it, and that candid
On this here flow, I'm that savage, You can't stand it
I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm so on pins and needles
Cause what you're doing does not save our people
Live for Christ? Yo, it's black or white, but some of us are grey
In self righteousness, they stay. Like Pastor Pagani would say
You're a Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
You're straight being fake
Live for Christ? Yo, it's black or white, but some of us are grey
In self righteousness, they stay. Like Pastor Pagani would say
You're a Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
Fake Church Gangsta
You're straight being fake
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by no Fcg's
We'll censor you like the F.c.c.
Cause we won't be cursed by Fcg's

Yeah
This is still revenge against God's enemies
You see, victory's the sweetest revenge
It's time to claim your victory now
I know
There's times when your back's against the wall
And you feel like you have nowhere to turn
Just look to the sky, look to him
What do you when there’s nowhere to run
When there’s nowhere to run, when there’s nowhere to run
That’s when you have faith & trust in the son
Jesus the son, Jesus the son
Yeah, so I’m saddled by the sum
Of my fears, like I’m facing the barrel of a gun
Can’t really sleep ‘cause the battle isn’t won
Making ends meet but I’m shackled by the crumbs
I swear I’m not smoking crack
I’d be on the pipe like plumbers trying to escape the thunder
Of a life impossible and privy
To stress to make you lose more follicles than Britney
And my girl’s having problems like
College graduate and no job in sight
Options tight, she’s looking to rob and fight
Feeling so much pain, it’s dropping life
In the sewage ‘cause life is ruthless
Cuts circulation like tightened nooses
No matter if your Muslim, into Christ or Jewish
Life is hard but giving up the fight is foolish
What do you when there’s nowhere to run
When there’s nowhere to run, when there’s nowhere to run
That’s when you have faith & trust in the son
Jesus the son, Jesus the son
When your life is down to the wire
Face to face with the enemy
It’s time you seek the messiah for the remedy
When you feel you got no choice
Within the point of no return
Nerves of steel become your voice
Light ‘that joint’ and let it burn
Set a fire to your past
Watch empires turn to ash
Full of liars in your path
When the Messiah took God’s wrath
So I preach Christ crucified
Urging you to die from the route of lies
I spit this for those with an every day vent
With their backs against the wall, barely make rent
Praise in my lungs my voice unsettling
To the enemy got him used to trembling
Ain’t “Basketball Wives”, but my ‘Royce’ adrenaline
Beating on Satan, got him confused for Evelyn
What do you when there’s nowhere to run
When there’s nowhere to run, when there’s nowhere to run
That’s when you have faith & trust in the son
Jesus the son, Jesus the son
When your life is down to the wire
Face to face with the enemy
It’s time you seek the messiah for the remedy
When you feel you got no choice
Within the point of no return
Nerves of steel become your voice
Light ‘that joint’ and let it burn
Set a fire to your past
Watch empires turn to ash
Full of liars in your path
When the Messiah took God’s wrath

Super 8 Remix
Whattup Datin? C. Woods
Joey Fresko, Malakai
Mahogany Jones, Lady Chosen
But first we got Ms. Lugo Smith
Yo, makes me wanna scream
I thought of it, the thought of it, I can't believe I thought of it
Jesus says the thought of it makes you have a part of it renewed
My mind? so when you persecute me, I bless you
In seeking revenge? The enemy, it's not you
But he sticks out through your flesh like dolls voodoo
Me attack? Oh no, that's absurd
But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, have a bite of this word
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise
I grit my teeth, and clench my fist tight, I just might
Get into a fist fight with some dude I dislike
Rah, No I ain't taking disrespect from him! Never
My pride is telling me I should check his chin! Blow
But before I comatose this cat
The holy ghost reacts and he holds me back, then he
Speaks to me, I can hear his voice in my mind
Leave room for my wrath, revenge is mine
Vengeance is not mine, let the lord handle that
That's why I don't talk about beef, no sandwich wrap
I ain't trying to put out the fire, I leave the candle flat
All these lies these people talking, they can't manage facts
Never was a bad kid, never had to fight a lot
Only weapon I had was a pen, no writers block
Never used my fist, always had a mic to rock
Check 1, 2, who would of knew I spit righteous drops
Bad feelings, heart pumping
Mind going insane, Joey starts crushing
Quit testing my anger out trying to start something
Cause in the end of it all, it really solves nothing
See I could be mean, and get you in the guillotine
Breaking down your self esteem, making you scream after you sing Billie Jean
But that ain't part of my swag though
Spirit filled guidance that I got from my dad yo, like that
Fresh out the maternity, born again, true indeed
Homie had me Schwarzenegger, cool upon Mr Freeze
Eightballs, ectascy, no type of self esteem
No attention paid to the father, spiritual a.d.d.
Should've just let me die, never should've let up
Second time od'd, you should've just repped up
Cause you're looking at revenge here
Met Overton, and your boy Sinclair
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise
When I think of all the betrayal, think of all your abuse
Remember of all of your lies, every lame excuse
The truth? I ain't thinking about a truce
Keep your white flag, save it for the troops
I'm a one chick army
Then I'm reminded your weapons could never harm me
God's my avenger. No, my bartender, serving up cups of wrath
Making you wish you'd surrender
Yeah, yeah. Tell me who are his enemies, what's the definition
Of the truth, Characteristics of his real opposition, self
Without submission, it's just selfish ambition
No spirit, just flesh, arson, no remission
Yeah, you heard me right. I'm God's enemy
And what's against him? The sin that's inside of me
Receive his spirit, not the workings of the flesh
We can conquer this mountain, call it a conquest, let's go
They say revenge is beautiful like Columbiana
So you run to drama 'til you shot your man down like the one Rihanna
Now you're seeing more jail time than Clifford Harris
Satan's paper trail is making you a consistent savage
So I preach 12 Nineteen in Romans, precisely I'm probing
To reach all likely opponents, know it
So I don't aim the steele and chrome at a Penn State
Menace to Society way beyond a Larenz Tate
