He Holds My Hand
VERSE 1:
I look in his eyes so amazing like a mirror.
Never is life as clear, as when He is so near.
I find myself all alone and confused.
He helps me see the clues
That His Presence is true.
Why do we fall.
Why do we stumble and we crawl.
We gotta learn to stand tall.
He's in me
And I'm not envious
Of the one less enlightened but got more.
CHORUS:
He holds my hand through the rough times
and He comforts me when I need to stop
When I worry I won't reach the top
He gives me signs He will not drop my hand
through the rough time
He comforts me when I worry I won't reach the top
He shows me signs
He will not drop my hand.
VERSE 2:
Understand
We won't always see clearly
Like when the darkness scares me
And when my courage gets weary.
Don't know the right way right now.
But I just know God somehow
He's gonna send me the victory
He's gonna bring it on home to me
Until that day
I swear that I'm gon' pray
Always hold my head high
I'll look, look to the sun and smile.
I consistently will shine
I persistently will shine
I'm convinced that He's inside
cuz He holds my hand through the rough time.
BRIDGE:
Sometimes I don't know where to go.
He opens the door.
Sometimes I think that I'm gon' fall
And He hears my call
Can't see the light in me
He'll be the light in my life
He'll be the light in my life.
CHORUS:
He holds my hand through the rough times
and He comforts me when I need to stop
When I worry I won't reach the top
He gives me signs He will not drop my hand
through the rough time
He comforts me when I worry I won't reach the top
He shows me signs
He will not drop my hand.
Just look inside your heart.

ZAIMAH RAP VERSE:
Feels like a burden
inside of me
I'm about to snap like I need a lobotomy
I'm tryna tune into the very heart of me,
lost my momentum
when I lost a part of me.
So I dig deeper
reach my goal then Eureka
touch the soul of a Believer
more than gold, I'm a keeper.
Sayings of old tell us patience
Brings gifts to be told
So I'm waitin, I will.
And I'll be still like film on a reel
Momma said don't make mountains of molehills.
Got out my own way, then all Fitnah stopped.
It's out my hands?
Okay then I'll let it rock.
And roll.
Guarantee its gon get much better.
Guarantee you gon get that letter.
Guarantee you gon make good weather.
Guarantee you gon get that letter.
Guarantee you gon get much better.
Guarantee you gon make good weather.
I guarantee.

AROUND MY WAY
1st VERSE:
Same song they play
Them "D" boys I mean.
"I can't eat no other way,
cuz I was given this world,
I didn't make it"
hey but, what if I tell you,
that, it just ain't true and
you were given this
so you can RE-make it.
If you were given the struggle,
then you can take it.
I believe in you and
There's nothing that you can't do.
In my hood you are the son.
Oh. Come on and shine like one.
CHORUS:
Around my way,
there's alot of pain and tears
but where else can you find
so much soul?
All I ask of you
is a chance to see things through
there's a place for me and for you,
to help on my block.
2nd VERSE
Hear me out,
I'm putting the trappers on blast.
You don't get a pass
cause you short for cash.
The Lord is gonna ask,
how you made your dough
whether strugglin or hustlin or playing C-lo.
You wear a crown in the hood these days.
Dope dealers, ya'll are rappers Muse these days
Soul Killers, cuz all ya'll rappers is fools these days.
Life stealers cuz rap is poisonous food, queasy.
Wanna see your affect,
you can see it easily,
Come around my way the dead are walking,
kind of creepy.
Frontin like a movement, selfish ass-tivist
dope dealer plus rapper
creating passivists.
CHORUS:
Around my way,
there's alot of pain and tears
but where else can you find
so much soul?
All I ask of you
is a chance to see things through
there's a place for me and for you,
to help on my block.
3rd VERSE
But see, its all about you right
you don't care about them babies
crying in the night.
Cuz they momma's strung out
while the daddys gone out
looking for what you sell.
Living good, but earning hell.
You got your math down
cut right in the kitchen
what a waste of genius coulda been a mathematician
You an evil genius worse than devil politicians
they kill from far away,
your lyrics kill is that your mission.
You kill from far away,
your music kills. Is that your mission?CHORUS:
CHORUS:
Around my way,
there's alot of pain and tears
but where else can you find
so much soul?
All I ask of you
is a chance to see things through
there's a place for me and for you,
to help on my block.

RUN ON SENTENCE
1st VERSE
How can we know for sure
If we should move forward.
How can we know if we should stop in our tracks
And never look back.
How can we know if this love here will last.
Without first, letting love become fact.
How can we know if the feeling is right
If we don't let our hearts see the daylight?
CHORUS
Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a "run on sentence"
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.
2nd VERSE:
What if this here is something special?
But you can't see it cuz your fears won't let you.
What if we've found a relief from the strain.
But can't explain it cuz we're so used to the pain
inside. Can't hide, I'm so new to this.
And I'm used to it, going wrong.
I'm not that strong. Somebody sing it with me.
CHORUS
Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a run on sentence
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.
ZAIMAH'S RAP
I gotta make a decision
tryna make it with precision
got no time for errors
so I gotta pray everyday.
I need for God to guide me
Feed me within like IV's
Raise me up like I'm highly
Favored and I'm strivin.
Lately its been so messy.
I need your help so bless me.
Without my sons its hectic
I stay inside like exits.
And abstinence is hard.
I know you hear me God.
They huntin please so protect me.
Not frontin please but don't let me.
Miss out in life.
Pick me pick me alright.
I swear I'mma win this fight
Though this fight may take all night.
Patience will not go wrong.
Patience will not go wrong.
Like the words to this song.
My life will go, on and on.
CHORUS
Don't argue with what it is.
Just gotta let life be
Knowing theres a purpose.
I can't ever say
what could not have been since
Life is like a run on sentence
and it'll go on
It'll go on
You'll see soon.
It'll go on, it'll go on. You'll see
And we'll see.
Period.

Words to Live By
1st Verse:
Never be afraid to look a man in his eye.
Always walk with your head held up high.
Life favors the strong so live it bold
Take care of the children and the old.
And though I cannot run this race with you
you'll find I am there with you cheering from the sidelines.
For all the time when life gives you lemons.
I'll teach you to make the sweetest lemonade. yeah.
CHORUS:
I won't be here always
while I'm here I'll say.
Words from a mother to her sons
You gon be okay,
You gon grow each day
You will be okay.
with words from your mother to her sons.
To live by.
2nd VERSE
Talk is cheap so listen more and find
You'll understand far more in far less time.
Love favors the trustworthy so be.
Trust baby you'll have the love you need.
Though I cannot walk this road with you,
you'll see, I am always with you,
and you are with me.
And for all the time when you can't find your way
Say your prayers cause God will light the way.
CHORUS:
I won't be here always
while I'm here I'll say.
Words from a mother to her sons
You gon be okay,
You gon grow each day
You will be okay.
with words from your mother to her sons.
To live by.
3rd VERSE
Never be afraid to reach for your dreams
If you work hard, you can be anything
Luck is said to favor the prepared
But God controls it all so lets be clear
Though I cannot keep the pain away
you'll find I'm a listening ear everytime
May come a day when your heart may get broken
Forgive. And one day your heart will re-open.
CHORUS:
I won't be here always
while I'm here I'll say.
Words from a mother to her sons
You gon be okay,
You gon grow each day
You will be okay.
with words from your mother to her sons.
To live by.

Consciousness
Zaimah's Rap
If you follow the logic to its proper conclusion
You will understand that this world is really an illusion
You will understand that deeper hidden is the truth
You will understand that within nature is the proof
I said the proof I mean the purpose
hear me, guilded surface
dwellers choose the easy life
the dunyas what you worship
braggin boutcha millions
"yeah I'm making millions"
I wouldn't really care if you were makin a gazillion.
It's not gon' bring you closer
Closer to the most High unless you use your wealth
to do what you're supposed to.
Maybe if you see it written on perhaps a poster
billboard by the highway sayin take the High Way.
Highway to Heaven, channel 7 Jumah Friday
6 from 11, if you're conscious sing it my way.
VERSE 1
I often find myself at the losing end of you
I must remind myself
That the end is near for you.
My ears can't find no help.
When every other show
Is like another blow.
Radio, it plays itself.
And thats alright with me.
Conscious sets you free.
CHORUS
How many in here want to hear
Consciousness say YES.
if you want consciousness say yes.
Just say yes.
If you're in here and you wanna hear,
Consciousness just say yes. yes. yes.
2nd VERSE
Finally music is here
where my hearts feeling free
Originally Godly
I was made to be
Up, righteous and conscious see
Unconscious folk blockin me
But Gods folk be rockin me.
CHORUS
How many in here want to hear
Consciousness say YES.
if you want consciousness say yes.
Just say yes.
If you're in here and you wanna hear,
Consciousness just say yes. yes. yes.
BREAK
Wave your hands if you're conscious
and if you want consciousness
Pump your Fist.
CHORUS
How many in here want to hear
Consciousness say YES.
if you want consciousness say yes.
Just say yes.
If you're in here and you wanna hear,
Consciousness just say yes. yes. yes.

Zaimah's Rap Verse:
I've learned first hand
emotions are a healin
If we wrapped up everything we feel I swear
our feelins would sell
Nah mean, yo we could make a killin
My life was hard, you talked it out
you helped me just to deal in
The more you give I swear
its just like you were taking
one more convo away
my hearts almost breakin up
Price was high
Like inflation
Too high for what we gained
Too high for all this pain man.
Hearts attached illegally
will break in one million pieces
if you do not understand
let me break it down I can cuz
love-less is more
than love gained but with 4.
Your gaining two means leaving one.
Your love has changed
Forever. Done.
