lyrics

Lord, frustration sets in
Saturday night & I’m singing blues again
This is more than jams on the radio
I’m jamming on the one and the night’s just begun
For the fellows, felines and felons
Games of cat and mouse
There’s no telling…
Where it’s gonna end up tonight
There are people in the club in a fight for their life
Some will escape. Some won’t make it
Some heads & hearts will ache when awakened
I see the game played and it grieves me
Results in disease or a seed
And I seethe at the way that people are exploited
Used and abused (for) selfish enjoyment
Deep down my heart hears a message
Don’t count ‘em out, cause everyone’s precious
Inspire them to learn their lessons…

I am inspired to start the fire
I want to make a change and I gotta see it through
I am inspired to start the fire
I want it so bad and I can’t do it without You

Inspired to start the fire
I won't retire until I see the liars
Exposed for trying culture, emotions dire
Peep the words emerge from town criers
See an act that you can't admire
Get in the mix and adjust like pliers
Balancing act like birds on a wire
Like Ike and T I’m gon' take you higher
Some are on the block I'm posted right here
Called to make soulful jams, it's quite clear
Instead of tunes that ensures my provision
Why not write some rhymes that'll change people's living?
I'm so glad I'm forgiven!
(I) Couldn't earn it
Speak life? I yearn it
This mic I burn it!
Pray for the gift to discern it
Songs with the key for life we must turn it
Songs that will take your life and rework it!

I am inspired…

Inspire your friends and inspire your foes
Inspire your family and those you don’t know
Inspire the fans and inspire the critics
Inspire the best and the worst that ever did it
Inspire to love God and to love our neighbours
Inspire those that are lazy to love the labour
Inspire the homecoming those that were scattered
Inspire the hopeless to know that they matter
Inspire The Runway beyond Round Two
And my inspiration is for you!
