Yeah
My name is Ryland Junior
His name is
#ChristJesus
And this another
#teamHeTheBest t'ing
Check, uh
I woke up in the morning
Hopped on the train
I seen my man
He had a Bible in his hand
Claiming it's the Word of God, fam
I brushed it off
No need to cause a situation
His beliefs are his beliefs
I don't need to be making
A scene
It's so serene
Just me and him up in the station
Decided to play devil's advocate
And catch him shakin'
I said, "Prove your God to me
Help me to see."
He said, I'm so glad you asked
Because the best schooled me
First of all, listen
You know how I was
Poppin' pills to get a buzz
Spazzin' out in the clubs
Not giving a what about my life
Until a drunk and high deep convo
By myself one night
Searching for some answers
And I stopped to just think
Why my heart is beating
Or, what makes my eyes blink
On the brink
Can't even tell you why
But, hemmed up in my mama's bathroom
Bruk out the ill snot cry
Thinking 'bout the fights I should've lost
But won
The vast complexities of both
The moon and sun
The Son
The One, He let me know
His Father reigns Supreme
Ain't nothing higher
Don't want you to feel the fire
The Truth is in the Scripture
From front to back
And He will never leave you
Call His name to contact
Matter fact
Confess Him now to get started, man
Ahhh!
Don't front!
The Most High God is Sovereign!
Don't front!
The Most High God is Sovereign!
It's the blood of Jesus Christ
Over my life all day
Don't front!
The Most High God is Sovereign!
King of kings
He's the Lord of the heavens and earth
Don't front!
The Most High God is Sovereign!
Claim the blood of Jesus Christ
Over your life this day
Don't front!
The Most High God is Sovereign!
Lifts your hands for the holes in His hands
My man
Yeah!
Without no doubt
This is dedicated to the Most High God
We tryna make disciples, Lord!
And, if this touched your heart
My prayer is that you seek Him
He will never leave or forsake you
He just wants your heart, kid
He just wants your heart!

It don't matter, fam
What time of day
Or, the day you've been battlin'
Two words, my God
Won't change, not ever
But, He will get your life together
No respecter of person
Each child is His favorite
But His time spent
Individually tailor fit
The plight of the devil
Make me sick
I wanna tell him two words
But, due to my Pop's
Amazingness
My mind made the switch
To only spread love
Pressing forward to
What lies ahead
'Cause the Scripture says:
Walk by faith
Trusting Your Word, Pop
Like I'm Sandy Bullock
Clutching my bird box
And, two more words got
Me in the zone
Cuz next up is the sounds of the
Homie Saint Jones!
CHORUS:

#ChristJesus
Thanks to the Messiah, I can
Speak to the Father
Joy of the Lord's my strength
I get my peace from the Father
(I do)
Christ Jesus
The only path that
Leads to the Abba
Enter any other way
You's a thief and a robber
(Word)
Humbled myself and got the
True revelation that
After this life, there's only
Two destinations
(That's right)
Heaven or hell
The Lord tore
The curtain and veil
Not the gates of hell, homie
It's the church that prevails
Overcoming by His blood
And my personal tale
(Testimony)
Of how He delivered my soul
From a curse and a spell
Now I
Got the recipe to be eternally free
Christ the only way
That's a certainty
Boy, you better...
BRIDGE:
Get. Up.
Stand. Up.
Get. Y'all.
Hands. Up.
Everybody praise
Anthem
Demons gettin' slayed
Facts, bruh

All God's Will 'til He
Take me home
Sacrificed life
Paid loan
Rep hard for Christ
Until He's made known

Throw ya hands, lift your praise
Up to the sky!
One cross, three nails
He gave His life
For yours, for mine
Greatest all time
Abba!!
VERSE ONE:
It's time to praise God
God gets all the glory
That's the only story that's for me
Raised up from the tomb
Now He's posted with His Pops
We gotta give Him all the props
Ha, ha-ha, ha
We shakin' Satan like this
He don't want it with my
Daddy's kids
Cuz he gon' stay in hell and
Try to tempt me there
But I call on my Pops
And throw my hands in the air
We prayin', fastin'
His grace is everlasting
Get up
Read the Word like everyday
It's automatic
Tryin' to please His will
Spending time with Him
So He can know my face
When He sees me again
The Bible's right in
Black and white
There for you to uncover
The Truth
You can discover
Word up! Raise it up!
We liftin' up the praises
Hallelujah!
MINI-CHORUS:
So, throw ya handz in the air
Lift ya handz in the air
Praise God like you don't care!
Uh oh...!
VERSE TWO:
He...
Loves each one of us
He was chosen to die
Jesus Christ is His name
But, the devil is a lie
When I'm sinning, Satan's winnin'
Like my death is okay
When I'm repentant, I'm forgiven
So, I betta obey
So, ease up out my mind
I've been
Reclaimed and refined
Rip my heart out my chest
And connect it to The Vine
His Love is Divine
And His Son is The Vine
And what's His is mine
So, the Win is mine
Before you even blink
He's coming
Back a second time
I read it Matthew
24:39
So, lift your praises up, boy
Up, up! Up, up!
It's a ca-tastrophe
For those who deny He
Satan came to kill me tonight
But, praising God
Has saved my life
So, so, so, I
CHORUS:
Throw my handz in the air
And, praise God
Like I just don't care
Just throw ya handz in the air
And, praise God
Like you just don't care
Just throw ya handz in the air
And, praise God
Like you just don't care
Just throw ya handz in the air
And, praise God
Like you just don't care

#ChristJesus
Fiya bu'n!
Bu'n it down
For Christ, I'm blazin'
(So hot)
Sent the devil on a
Nice vacation
(So hot)
Hell is rolling out the
Ice cream station
(So hot)
I'm breathing flames whenever
I beat Satan
It happens on a regular basis
I take it
Slow and steady
Living nice and patient
Trust in the Lord
When my wife done caved in
Trials come thru
I holla, "Life's amazing!"
Through the good and the
Bad times, I praise Him
Adding fuel
So it's never extinguished
I am Yours, Lord
You hold me like
I'm Your only
Told me You will
Never relinquish
The
Bond from You to me
Me to You
You let me be me
The good and evil, too
Even when I fall
You pulled this brother back
And, when I called Your name
Gave me another match
Ignite the fire
So, I stay lit
A living torch
I
Started a brush fire in the
Produce aisle today when I
Walked by
Tryna save souls
'Fore they all fry
I'm talkin' piping hot
Never lukewarm
Sooner or later
We all show our true form
Better be in or out
For midway folks
We got a "vomit right out of His mouth"
Suit for him
God's love is like
The streets are breezy
Stay full
Never need for greedy
Like Big Mama's fried chicken
And it ain't even greasy
(Like) Ya team won the game
In a sweep to 3-peat
(Like) Ya number came through
It's a 3-3-3-3
(Like) The sound of a newborn
Breathing sweetly
His love is like that plus
The miraculous
The remedy for what
My pleads and needs be
The burning inside me
So I be
Making the floor where my
Greasy knees be
Throw my hands up
Keep this scene on repeat
I can't calm down
'Cause He's what feeds me
Manna manna
Eat what I need and
Don't please man
Elohim Supreme's The
Real rock, no Beans, no Yeezy
It's all in His Word
Check for yourself
Bro, please believe me

Grace and peace, family! I am pleased to release to you my debut mixtape, Olde Skool dᴉlℲ Hop: vol. 1.
Being from Brooklyn's strong West Indian population, plus coming up in the 90s Golden Era of Hip Hop, I was heavily influenced by the music of the time. Since I no longer listen to much of the music due to my own personal convictions, I figured I'd put a ԀI˥Ⅎ on it. On this mixtape, I'll be taking that classic rap/reggae vibe, and giving it some Christ-centered flavor. I pray that it's a blessing to anyone that hears it.
The project is 100% free! However, if you are blessed by what you hear and would like to sow into your brother-in-Christ, please feel free to $CashApp ($RylandJunior) or PayPal (
ryland@JPRadio.org) a seed of any size. Or, just share it out to everyone you know!
I would love to get this into the hands of as many people as possible; not to become more well-known, but because I truly believe Holy Spirit has moved in a mighty way within these eight tracks. Help me to do the work of the Kingdom by telling someone about what you hear.
May God be glorified in all that I do, in the name of #ChristJesus!
