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) ©2011-2012 Copyright Uncut Diamondz.

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.

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..."

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) ©2011-2012 Uncut Diamondz.

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?

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) ©2011-2012 Copyright Uncut Diamondz.

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)
