New Generation Lyrics:
Chorus:
Uncut ice feeling so fly
Put your hands to the sky
You only got one life
When you feeling the vibe
Gotta get this right
Only got one try
Just put them hands to the sky
Verse 1:
I-DOUBLE-N-O-C-E-N-T
We gonn' rock this thing from Texas to NYC
I've never been one to practice hypocrisy
So throw up your fists and just rock with me
And you better get it ready for when the beat gonn' drop
Cuz It's the better remedy for when the track gets hot
And stop take a breather cuz it just don't stop
Uncut Diamondz we ain't rhyming a little too soft
I've seen all these brothers all trying to be what they not
And we're alive with minds not some robot
Lift him high with our rhymes cuz it's all about God
And not just with rhymes with our lives give Him all that you got
Cuz it's time to rise pull out all of the stops
Uncut Ice, we be like, a bunch of rocks
And when you crack them open, you can see the gems you got
Only got a few seconds, before we make it hot
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Gonna rep my city, gonn' respect your state
From the city by the sea, ain't coming on too softly
Done with the intention to ruffle y'all's feathers
From the Aristotles to the babies with their bottles
Now I've got your attention, so let's do this together
Jump to the bass, jump jump to the bass
From the base of the stage to the base of the floor
Shake the base, shake shake the base
Share your faith, don't shirk away
Rep it loud wear it proud live it out today
In every single way, in everything you do
Don't be the caboose, no, lead with the truth, yo!
It's the Victim and I'm coming in with a new conviction
With a written permission to take my mission
Out to the streets, bring the poor and the rich in
One solid family, yo, that's the vision.
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Yeah Innocent and Victim a.k.a. showstoppers
Hip hop's popo police and copppers
And you better get your tear gas, guns and helicopters
That's right cuz you can't, you just can't stop us
With a beat so hot it be played in school lockers
This be for everyone including emos, punks and rockers
It's a party in here, pass me the jalapeno poppers
Cuz we the new generation of hip hoppers
I like the way I speak cuz there's a glow in my flow
like snow on the floor on Christmas morn
Haha it's the way we do it that makes it special
We take old school rhymes and take it to another level
You never heard anything like this lemme tell ya
We the emcees and you're the ones listening
After the show is done you'll be shining and glistening
Lemme see if you agree with me just show me some proof
Raise your hands to the sky and tear down the roof
(Chorus)

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Like rain with a hurricane, like a cut with pain
This is Innocent and Victim the name stays the same
Rappers out there, don't know nothing but lame
And they're ain't no one to blame but your whip and your chain
Yeah, I'm telling the truth, see I ain't got no beef
But you spent all your money buying gold for your teeth
Now, I'm a normal child with raps from the spirit
Rapping over beats so wild with a mic so you can hear it
This is how I make music, giving God Glory Be
This is how I do it now you little boys retreat
We coming with flames to try and make the world change
Like a candle in the rain trying to spark the flames
Chorus:
Yeah Innocent is back getting flack from the rap game
but who's to blame who likes getting burned by flames?
Yeah Victim is back getting flack from the rap game
but who's to blame who likes getting burned by flames?
Innocent is back getting flack from the rap game
we can't stay tame, cuz we've been burned by flames.
Victim is back getting flack from the rap game,
we can't stay tame, cuz we've been burned by flames
Verse 2: (Victim J)
(It's your boy, Victim J!)
Ha what?
All the little boys, out there running
Thinking they all slick (ha) devious and cunning
With their pants all low and they got them all sagging
Don't really care for all of that swagger
Don't like the new school
Cuz I be old school
It's better than new school
So it's all cool
Don't act like a fool
Don't break any rules
My line and hook, that's what makes you drool
Here's the tip this beat is the tool
Make ya sweat, make ya bump
Make this hit, gonn' make ya jump.
Rep for Yahweh, or hit the highway
Don't trust the by-ways, say why you looking sideways?
Just look up scripture and tradition,
So drop ya mics and make that your mission.
(Chorus)
Verse 3: (Innocent)
Uncut Diamondz, we're some veterans
And you ain't got no style just like manequins
Brother, don't throw a fit and get mad again
Cuz' I ain't got no beef just trying to make some sense
Sometimes I think my mics a match, my tongues a flame and my flow's propane
That's why I can't stay tame, cuz I ain't never been lame
And best avoid the current flames and do your best to avoid the pain
Because no matter what you do the truth always hurts
and no matter what you do the truth always works
And sometimes my flow my truly hurt
But it's the pain of growing up and the new rebirth
And it don't matter how much dough that you got here on earth
Cuz the last shall be first and the first shall be last
And I know you ain't the one who gonn' have the last laugh.
(Chorus)

-
Verse 1:
Innocent:
In a culture of lust greed and evil
It feels like every day is another step from Eden
And everyones leading the path of non-believing
And it's hard believing so many want to leave him
But the earthly pleasures are nothing when they're put together
And life without Christ is as cold as winter weather
They try to fill the hole with more and more
Big cars big TVs big homes and dough
Yet they still feel the hole in deep down in their soul
No matter how much you got without him your hearts still cold
There's so much missing in this world of less
So many people stressed about their past regrets
And they more or less forget that at the time of death
Their souls are headed to final judgement
Which one will you choose?
Chorus:
Eternal Father, I offer thee
The Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
Of your dearly Beloved Son who died on calvary
Who conquered death to set us free (x2)
Verse 2:
Victim J:
Waking up to another shade of grey
How much darker will it get today
How much farther could we fall away
From the Father who only wants to give us His grace
His love and grace that sets us free
His body and blood that was shed on calvary
Gone are the days that used to be
Gone are the ways how we used to live free
A Ray of light
In a day of darkness
16 bars ain't enough to fix this
What we've done here is a sorry business
It's hard to do it
To be a witness
Of Christ's true love and sacrifice
The only Truth in a world of lies
Yeah... seek Truth... seek Christ.
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Innocent:
50 million babies killed by abortion
That means 50 millions couples living with lives distorted
Evil lurks on every corner in the culture of death
Teens living with their parents but some got no respect
Where is the compassion where is the love?
Where is the faith that this country was made of?
Where is the hope of the young today?
Where is the peace before we gone astray?
Where is the line between right and wrong
And what happpened to the ones who used to stand strong
For the way the truth and the life
The God of all creation who will set things right
"Whatsoever you do to the least of these you do to me"
He didn't just mean some he meant all of we
Now is the time to take a stand
Now is the time now is the time to take a stand.
"Eternal Father, I offer thee, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Of your dearly Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins, and those of the whole world."
(Chorus)
"Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, Have mercy on us, and on the whole world..." - Track Name: Get Down (Album Version)
-
Uh-huh, Uncut Diamondz ya'll, uh-huh
Y'know we gotta be humble to lift Christ up, ya'll
Yeah
Y'know pride comes before the fall
We gonn' do it like this ya'll
Chorus:
We get down to lift Christ up x3
We get down, we get down
x2
Verse 1:
Yeah some folks may not get it why we wanna be meek and humble
But those people don't remember that pride comes before you stumble
Getting down at our shows means being humble before the lord
Before or after the show we be praising God fo sho
I write for him all my tight raps for God
And my hearts all up in it I ain't never gonna stop
It ain't a game it's called life, ain't lame it's bout Christ
It ain't the same but still tight and now the flames gonn' ignite
Hip hopping steady bobbin' now keep them heads nodding
No stopping keep jogging and just keep them fists rocking
Cuz I know I can't be too cocky gotta keep my head bowed
And these beats I'll be rockin' for him as long as God allows
And I'd like to give a shoutout to my folks who helped me out
And to all the peeps in heaven who are praying for me now
To help me spread his love and message to all y'all around
Now tell me, are y'all ready to get down?
(Chorus)
Get down, we get down, we get down, ohh!
Verse 2:
Makes waves in the water so the ripples return
Stir sparks in the fire so the world will burn
Spitting from my heart so your souls'll yearn
Flowing is an art, in which we all can learn
Start an avalance y'all and dance to get it rolling
But let the Holy spirit be the one who gets you going
I get down so I can lift, lift up Christ
I get drowned in his mercy to be rid of the strife
I get writers block and brothers be like what again?
Guess it's time to storm heavens gates for intercessions
I openly admit it, I'm afraid to dance
Like why would I wanna go and take that chance?
But the lord asked me to do it so Ima sing and prance
Bust a move who cares if I can't
I do it for the one who was pierced by a lance
The One who holds our lives in the palms of his hands
Get down like David dancing
We taking chances at our shows
Getting down for the Lord.
Getting down for the Lord!
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Yeah, my heart is in my flow
And I start when I go
And the best part is being humble, humble for the lord
See how can I let God in if I'm too much into pride
So I gotta be humble so he can help me survive
And help me fly into eternal paradise
That's right cuz I try to write rhymes with Christ as my guide
See, I'm working for the boss ain't gonn brag about myself
Cuz I only boast of the cross, ya'll and no one else
We must decrease so that Christ may increase
Ima rep my savior right now til I'm deceased
And not gonna cease without prayer Ima pray without cease
Cuz by praying is the only true way to real true peace
We get down to lift Christ higher
To be humble like him is my hearts desire
So come Holy Spirit set our hearts on fire
And spread the Gospel spread his empire
To spread his love and message to all y'all around
Now tell me y'all ready to get down
(Chorus)

Chorus:
Homie don't sing like he used to
Homie don't dance like he used to
Homie don't act like he used to
Homie Don't
Homie Don't
x2
Verse 1:
So my buddy Billy Bob started by getting a job
He was pretty good at rapping so might as well give it a shot
Most rap out there ain't so great he thought
So why not start a rap project rapping for God?
It might be a be a little strange little wack at first
it'll help some folks be saved so he makes his first verse
He makes sure he don't curse and it could be much worse
Practice makes perfect so he practices and rehearse
Takes to a studio and bam! it's a hit
He's loving it cuz he knows it'll help folks live
But then he gets a call from a big time label
They tell him "Billy don't mention God, and you could be famous"
He thinks "I can be a good person and still rap about cars"
But slowly he's forgetting all his Christian heart
On Sundays he's staying home now saying "I ain't gotta go to church"
He used to read the bible but now he forgets God's word
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Billy Bob Jack, cruisin' smooth in a cadillac
26 inches, yo, he like it like that
He's made it to the top and he's rolling with the thugs
Yo he's hiding from the cops cuz they know he's pushing drugs
Yo, he's running from his God, trying to drown his life in pubs
Thugs and clubs, false loves and puffs
He used to be a Christian he would worship the God-Man
Now he's wallowing in his riches but he's worshipping mammon
Homie used to spit rhymes, to God he would Glorify
Homie used to bust moves, he could feel the groove right
Billy Bob Jack, you took a wrong turn,
The inside of your head is spinning like a butter churn
I'm praying for you homies, if your lives match these stories
Lots of little boys only out there for the glory
The glory of they self, the fame and they name
The gang and the game and who's the next they can blame
Homie don't rap like he used to be
Homie come back to the family
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
I used know to a fella named Billy bob Jack
And he used to be dope but now his flows all wack
Used to be good now his flows all tacky He got grills and bling but I know he ain't happy
He used to be fresh fresh now his lifes a mess mess
he used to be with Christ but now he's feeling stress
He wanted to be rich wanted more and more dough
Big cars and a house that he can't call home
Got a new car with shiny new 24's
but I know when he dies it ain't all gonn' go
I seen him walk the streets and he got grills and bling
And I know he's heard of peace but he don't know what that means
He ain't rapping bout God he rapping about cars and guns
He ain't really remember what he used to call love
He drives around in his car but inside he's lost
So I pray that he remembers the one who died on the cross
He drives around in his car but inside he's lost
So I pray that he remembers the one who died on the cross
(Chorus)
Hey, Billy Bob Jack, you coming to church this Sunday? ...No? - Track Name: Letting It Go (Album Version)

Lyrics:
Sometimes I wonder how it really should be
I got ears and eyes but I can't hear and see
And I realize without you here with me
life's as hollow as a song with a broken beat
My heart's broken in two until I get on both my knees
With my eyes closed, fingers clutching my Rosary
And then life feels like how it's supposed to be
With Your love in my heart and Your hope in me
But sometimes I fall and I lose my way
And I'm thinking about the things that I think and say
I can do all that's right and even sing a lot of songs,
but without Your love, Lord, I'm just a noisy gong
Empty and shallow and lifeless without You
My heart's empty and I don't know what it's all about, but You
Came into my life, refined my soul
So I'm giving it all to You, Lord I'm just letting it go
Chorus:
I give You my heart and my soul, never let me go
Verse 2:
Dear Father above, you see right through me
My sin pierced through Your hands and feet
But still you love me looking past my hypocrisy
From sea to sea, and all throughout history
I'm spitting from my heart, you were there from the start
Coming back to the game, repping your Name
Ain't pointing no fingers, not passing any blame
Don't do it for the money, I don't do it for the fame
From city to city and coast to coast
Holy, holy, holy sings your heavenly host
Just wanna give you glory, glory to your Name
And all through life I want you here to stay
And see you changing my life, every single day
Never let me go, for I give you my heart
Never let me go, for I give you my soul
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
In my heart and my mind, body and soul
I only wanna live for you alone
But so many worldy things just get in the way
I can't do this on my own I need you everyday
I was looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places
Now I know that happiness is only where your face is
My heart suspended in everlasting adoration
I can see your Love, through every generation
In a world that always seeks to water down the truth
I need to seek and find and always look for You
In everything that your Love provides
From the sunny days, to the cloudy skies
Until the day that I look into your eyes
With no earthly veil between yours and mine
And, God of all creation help me always to follow
And stay on the path that is straight and narrow
(Chorus)

-
Uncut Diamondz, y'all. Huh, listen up.
What's Love?
Verse 1:
Love is patient Love is kind Love is always has time
the purpose of life is to Love like Christ
Love those who hate you yeah Love those who take you
for granted even when you feel like you don't wanna chance it
Granted sometimes you may not wanna Love your neighbor
But that's the chance we take to Love like our Savior
Cuz He Loves unconditionally died on a cross for us
cuz He always Loves, and wants us to Love
And I guarantee any fallacy Love is bound to see through
Cuz Love is the reason Christ died for me and you
To Love is to will the good of another
Like a child is Loved by his father and his mother
Only got one life so Love like they ain't no next week
And spread the gospel of Love to everyone you meet
Live Love life Love life it's true
From the crib to the crypt from the womb to the tomb
Chorus:
Love is patient Love is kind
Love is sight for the blind
It's never jealous, never rude Love will make it alright
So when life gets you down on the bumpy roads
Love will be there, it's a hand to hold.
Verse 2:
Huh, what?
Love, what's that?
1 Corinthians 13
Remember that!
Yo give us minute
For us brothers to drill it
Watch us kill it with kindness
'Cause we feelin what we livin'
With Christ's Love in our hearts
He got us lifted to the ceiling
And we love to see the healin'
takin' place in your heart.
What this world thinks of Love
is here just tearing us apart.
It's like the Love of our mothers
and the Love between these brothers
Love is patient, love is Kind
why can't you open your mind
'Ey, we running outta time
So why don't you look up to Christ
We never out of rhyme
'cause we just hitting our prime
True Love will see you through
True Love will make it alright
So let's not put up a fight
And not be uptight
We just be rocking the mic
To help these folks see the light
'cause we Love you
and the Savior Loves you too
In everything you do
He'll be the one to see you through.
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Love is patient Love is kind, y'all Love never fails
Love perseveres through the rough roads and trails
Love came down as a Man and died and rose again
Love AKA Jesus Christ came and bore our sins
For Love so they ain't no reason we shouldn't follow Jesus' way
So we can truly love life and seize the day
To see his face and never be the hate
Worldwide family y'all one piece a day
Cuz it's time we love another and start forgiving our brothers
Never hold any grudges cuz its a family to be trusted
I'm not trying to say Love will take all your problems and solve em
But by loving each other you can get up when you falling
God is Love God is trust God is help when you call him
Gotta tell all the world of his Love gotta follow him
Open up your heart and let Love in
Open up your mind and let Love win
(Chorus) - Track Name: Glide (Album Version)
-
Chorus:
Glide glide to the left, glide glide to the right
Verse 1:
Yeah. It's a big time thing called musical glide
With a beat so crazy it's like a natural high
So put your hands up high try to touch the sky
It's high time we live it up only got one life
Writing just to rep the state I'm in
It's Texas respect it y'all know what I mean
Haha God bless the world God bless the universe
Yeah it's all too live to understand it in one verse
It's a big time party in here call it open house
Were we use our mics to smash like a panzerfaust
Speaking over beats with mics over these beats
Over kicks with hats and snares and sick synths don't sleep
So I'm rocking the game while I'm propping His name
And stopping the train before it falls off the rail
So don't be tense don't be uptight
Just glide to the left and glide to the right
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
I'm all dressed up yo
With nowhere to go
Got my swag up high
And my ride down low
I'm rolling on hydraulics
With my pockets full of coins
Call it lyrical linguistics
Let's make some noise
Guess it's time to make our move
So raise up your hands to the roof
We always rapping the truth
Yo not just up here in the booth
We ain't liking what's out there
When will y'all rappers get a clue
This is your boy VictimJ
and I'm saying how do ya do
If you're hip-hop or punk
It don't matter to me
Play that funk in your trunk
But you better not leave
Hope your mind can grasp this
I don't mean to bash this
But material things are gon end up in ashes
It's time to grow up and move on pass this
Catch this, cash and plastics are never gon last this.
Blast this: your speakers just got blasted.
Fantastic, bombastic: yo your speakers just got blasted.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)

Chorus:
Rappers from the get-go

(Chorus) - Track Name: Get Back Up (Album Version)
-
Chorus:
Sometimes in our lives we may find
The we keep stepping out of line, keep falling behind but
We fall down (we get back up) X4
x2
Verse 1:
Call me Innocent the imitator I try to imitate Christ
The only way to survive in of this culture of anti life
I try and try to stand strong
but these endless temptations keep doing me wrong
I try to follow but I wallow in my selfish way
The way is narrow but it's hallowed an i know it's the right way
At my age so hard living in this ice age
So many hearts frozen by the king of lies mayne
So I try to stand strong and not let it sway me
But I'm just a human being so sometimes i fall into the hazy
And I can't see cuz I'm blinded by the mist
And I can't get up until I repent of my sins
And say an Act of Contrition and make my Confession
Lord I long to make right what I've done and yes I'm really penitent
I'm thankful lord your such a merciful God
To pick me up and make me worthy even when I know I'm not
When I fall I get up it's a ongoing cycle
but I strive for perfection like you said in the bible
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
I trip and I stumble
Gettin' bloody in the rumble
Gotta remember to keep it humble
I'm just some dirt in the rubble
Sorry to bust your bubble
But we gotta get out of this trouble
Just a simple observation
We're destroying our nation
We need to get back to Transubstantiation
Before we end up at the consummation
And don't I hate it
That I'm part of the problem
But together we can make it
Push through and solve them.
We're gonna fall down
But we get back up again
Help carry each other like we soldier men
From right here, right now to the very end
I need to deny myself and take up my cross
Not tryna floss but rep messiah my boss
He, the one who died and paid pay the cost
So that when we fall, we might heed the call.
To get back up and reach the heavenly top.
(Chorus)
