Good idea for a topic, @LaBèlla . If i am understanding the purpose of it correctly, this is a song I have heard a few times recently as I am playing through Wild Arms, and it does stir the heart just a bit, as the tune represents a misunderstood but kind-hearted main character - a boy named Rudy who is not quite human - as he struggles to be accepted by a world that has in some cases during the course of his and the other protagonists' adventure, rejected and feared him. It cannot help but carry a sympathetic note.

Here's another one that I'm going to adapt from a Jay-Z song. I need to find a female that can do the hook and a featured rapper that can do a third verse.

Verse 1

I’m from a suburb of Nooga
But the mission is where I took ya
The gospel was all up in my mouth like a dental
Said a few more words like I was mental
But now we’ll be His foreva
And aren’t we thankful for His pleasure

I’m on this track like Sinatra
The best is yet to come and it all aint for nought – chea!
I used to come at this carnal
I don’t know about you
But when I found God’s Way
It put me in a place to say
Words that are heard in the secret place
Or should I say grace takes
My life up to higher stakes
And because of His fame
My body dances and it beat breaks
To the rhythm that His glory makes
I’m quite relaxin
On Christ, waxin’
Going low to the King and the enemy – vexin’
Religious people perplexin’
But its all okay
Cuz what He did for me
Is made me

REBORN!
God’s kingdom: where dreams are made from
There’s nothing I can’t do
Now that I’m REBORN!
Your blood makes me brand new
And I have joy when my heart finds You
Now that I’m REBORN, REBORN, REBORN!




Verse 2

This is for the whole world to see
And the attitude I keep is the one
that you can peep
for when He came
He didn’t with equality with God claim
But took on Himself the form of a servant
Became obedient to death
And overcame death
Now speaks life by Holy Spirit’s breath
The kingdom of Christ is what I like to rock
My home is where His heart talks
Speaking love to my soul
So in the light is where my feet will walk
Whether it’s Jay Z or Scarface
I’ll redo the words to fit his holy grace
And I know this world wants me to quit
But by Yahwah I’ll make it
You see I’m noone special
But I’ve found the Way
And you can say that His promise is yea
Hey but I’m free though
To you I live every day like a Sunday
So whether its elections or crusades
We’ll see you - Billy G in eternity
cause I’m


REBORN!
God’s kingdom: where dreams are made from
There’s nothing I can’t do
Now that I’m REBORN!
Your blood makes me brand new
And I have joy when my heart finds You
Now that I’m REBORN, REBORN, REBORN!




3. Verse 3




(Hook)


REBORN!
God’s kingdom: where dreams are made from
There’s nothing I can’t do
Now that I’m REBORN!
Your blood makes me brand new
And I have joy when my heart finds You
Now that I’m REBORN, REBORN, REBORN!

Put your hands in the air for the King of glory!
Little lights of the earth shine and look pretty
There’s nothing in this world that ever will compare
So lift your voices together and declare
Everybody sing,
Hallelujah Hallelujah!

REBORN!
God’s kingdom: where dreams are made from
There’s nothing I can’t do
Now that I’m REBORN!
Your blood makes me brand new
And I have joy when my heart finds You
Now that I’m REBORN, REBORN, REBORN!

This is one I wrote and rapped in memory of a guy that was homeless that lived in the streets of Chattanooga. People have said I need to put more umph in my delivery but I don't think there's much I can change (except recording in better quality. lol)

Street saints staying downtown but yet they'll get a crown
Covered with dirt and p*** but still smiling
And they're striving for a place we're all going
They may not live in houses but in the heart, they call Heaven their home
In the gutter; it's the only place these people learn to kneel and keep it real
While others focus on the dollar bill;
Feel - These outsiders
Don't disrespect their space
Look into their eyes as they tell you of the struggle of their race
They're surviving under hard conditions but arriving
(In God's presence)
Now you can run but can't hide from it
So step outside
If you think its crazy making music for these streets
Think of God who loves these forgotten whose hearts still beat

This is for those street saints

So to these lost will you make it out of your neighborhood
And serve a purpose ?
Or does this rap make you nervous?
This is your service:
For the One who died on the cross
And came out of the grave
To bring a whole world back!
He's mighty to save!
He remained in the streets
And gained fame
His mission:
To know our pain and take aim
His position:
To let the opposition know the Life
That delivered lives by doing what's right
By dying but now sitting on the throne doing the Father's business
Receiving people
So let this thought sink in deeper
And be a reaper
But no man will bear a harvest
No matter how much they think this message is just alarming


Back to my tenor..
Enter:
The gutters; for you can see
What do I mean when I say that I love them
after God first loved me
Learn to be:
A life-altering change
in the lives of the poor and strange

This is for those street saints

By faith can you imagine these same unwanted wanderers
Making their way to the throne of God before squanderers
Gold roads replacing what was their last abode
For eternity they'll sing the praises of His everlasting love
These sold out soldiers will take a bullet
You see they love like the One who gave them courage to endure it
Look at these people who can't be stopped
They patiently take their lot knowing more's in stock
Here they have no lasting place
Their hope is stored up for His mercy and His grace
True to the Lord, Christ is their Life
They see that eternal home, the mansions with the light
They've been tested and they're yearning
Because they've been promised the inheritance of an overcomer
Worshiping in the middle of hail and rain
In this they depend on the One who came
They're used to seeing angels in their sight
But she'll be there when it's time for him to die
She'll take him up to be with God up there
And no longer will he be confined to a wheelchair
