write a song for you - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

let me write a song for you
they can call it fake but we'll know it's true
what has hiphop done for you?
really now, com'on lets put it on a track or two
starting with lies exposed with words you can use
i'll even try to make it rhyme for you
not a typical lyrical flow left in a lot of clues
no cussing, so lets leave out one thing
if it is, let it be no cussing, the decision i'll leave up to you
a song from R18 to pg13 until lyrics for toddlers to the youth
a message i would let into the eardrums of my grandma too
so slim let me write this song for you
tell me your story the unwritten truth
i'll put it in a verse or two
i know this is something you yourself can do
but this is something i would like to do
you got mad skillz and no one can take that away from you
i believe i have a gift for writing and i would like to share it with you
Marshall, let me address you by your real name too
lets give these demons a scare so that they will run from you
i'm a praying man and i won't deny that truth
i believe in One True GOD who gave his son to die for me and you
i will declare Jesus' name and hopefully one day you will too
Jesus is Lord and no one else will do
Yeshua Messiah to whom all praise is due
so mr Mathers we can do a collab if you want to
even if i have to do a spoken word and you do you
but if nothing else, let me write a song that you could do
i won't sign your biggest fan, but i got mad respect for your talent dude
praying blessings over you and your family too
peace, joy and love
from this poet JePro, who's got a real name too
kind regards, Riaan Davids, just another poet who might remain unknown
but that's ok too

2014 taught me - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

2014 was a year of many lessons
and many confessions
a broken heart
from the very start
from the word go
but i had to learn to let go
many of nights of heartache and pain
but through all of this i've had a lot to gain
my lessons i've learned
not so easily earned
that i can make it through the rain
and my heart is stronger than the pain
the hell that i'm going through
isn't for me but for you
the ones that i can help through my experience
and i can only thank GOD for my strength and perseverance
i've learned that not even your own family can be trusted
that one member doesn't even know he has been busted
i had to deal with bitterness and pride
i never knew i had deep inside
i've learned the strength of forgiveness
learning to forgive and to ask for forgiveness
the healing power that those words bring
setting both parties free
there's a whole lot more lessons i could put in
but the biggest of them all was learning to be me

To: Amy - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

You’re like a pearl in an oyster
Not easy to find but worth all the search
In the deep blue sees laid on the ocean bed
There’s where one will find you
And even if I have to swim all the way under
With no protective gear and oxygen tank
I’ll still make that journey
Coz a treasure like you
Is worth facing extreme obstacles

You’re the essence of fairy-tales
And the reason for poets
You’re the indescribable life force
Inspiring me to write
That which my heart feels
And my mind still tries to comprehend

Amy Biggs... I Feel It In My Fingers - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Angels have nothing on you 

Mankind can’t touch you 

You’re one of a kind and I feel for you 

Butterflies are jealous of you, and in a way 

Inspired too 

God’s Blessings is overflowing you 

God’s Love is protecting you 

So I know your special, coz God’s hands created you 

If I had you my life would be different too 

Falling in love with you wasn’t planned 

Experiencing what I feel isn’t a demand 

Explaining all this is accompanied by fear 

Letting you know is the idea 

I can write it down, or 

Talk it out 

In away 

Not holding out 

Me for you 

You for me 

Finding peace 

In what is real 

New beginnings 

Greater meanings 

Especially in Love so rare 

Reaching for the impossible for someone you care
Solely to make them smile just by being there

If Tomorrow Never Comes - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

In case of my absence 

Find the truth in this poem’s presence 

The reality of my state of mind 

Overwhelming feelings in my heart you shall find 

Mesmerized by your image alone 

Only Love from this poem will glow 

Rivers of Love will overflow 

Realizing my thoughts should be made known 

On each and every occasion my feelings should be shown 

With no regrets I should leave this earthly home 

Never before I felt this way 

Each emotion knowing its place 

Vividly expressing myself in the way I know best 

Emotions that’s unstoppable 

Reaching out just to let you know 

Communicating my feelings is a must

On a piece of paper I must entrust

Making it clear in case I’m no longer there

Each and everyday this poem will echo

Something my heart wouldn’t be able

Girl next door - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

What I want
What I look for
Cannot be found in a club or at a liquor store
What I seek
What I desire
Can be found in the girl next door
She might just be a figment of my imagination
A girl in my dreams
Fiction dreamt up
Or she might just be real
Somewhere out there in this great big world
Or who knows, she might just literally be the girl next door
But once I find her
I will make it known
That she will be the girl I adore
And I won't ask for more
'Coz what else can I ask for?
She will be Pure of heart
A Beautiful soul
Inner-Beauty that can brighten up this world
A Kind and Loving spirit
Trustworthy and Loyal
So really? What more can I ask for?
When I am the recipient of her Love that overflows
So you won't find me in a club or at a liquor store
'Coz what I want and look for
Is a girl that are looking after her body
A girl that's keeping herself for her one true love
She's the girl, my girl next door

Stop the abuse - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

love comes in many shapes and forms, but the best is in a shape of a lowercase t, i wish someone could've told her this, as she wiped her tears and her father got introduced to one of his biggest fears, as his daughter told him about this guy she met whom she thought was one of her peers, before the event they've never met face to face but over mxit they've chatted for almost 2 years, she was shocked and amaze when they've finally met up but it was too late, 'coz he had her cornered, the man in front of her was nothing like the pictures he sent over mxit, he was older and lied about plenty other things, she's sixteen alone with a stranger and pretty much afraid, no one could hear her cry for help as he ripped off her clothes, there wasn't anything she could do as he forced himself on her, two months later she found out she was carrying a child of her rapist, who was old enough to be her father, these things are happening to our women and children, but many couldn't be bothered, stopped the abuse and let their words be heard

Relationship - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

A relationship is a like a flower. It needs all the right conditions to blossom. It first has to die in order to live. We need to die to our selfish and fleshly desires. It should no longer be about us, but the next person. It needs the son and rain. Something we cannot control. We need GOD in our relationships. He needs to be the center. We must water the plant so that it won't wither. We need to put effort and time in our relationships. If all these conditions are met, the flower (relationship) will blossom.

Butterfly - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

One beautiful butterfly just died

Don't ask me why

One innocent soul had to say goodbye

Asking why

Was she a victim of a crime

Or was it just her time

Is she happy at the place she's at now

Or is she in agony in hell

It’s believed her life here was a living hell

Day in and day out she shed her tears

A never ending story

At night she first cried herself a river

Before her body gave her rest

But came dawn she wake up and mourn

She was an object of scorn

A mockery 24 seven

Her age only eleven

Let’s pray and hope she’s in heaven

The words of a tormented mom

Missing her baby girl

Reminiscing of better days

Just to be reminded that her angel was ripped from her life

Every time she step out of the door

Her baby was found at the entrance lying on the floor

Blood flowing from her wrists

A note next to her reading

‘I am sorry mommy

Daddy left you and now me

You thought everything was fine

But every day I smiled for you mommy

A burden for you I did not want to be

Adding to your tears I could not do

But mommy this is not because of you

Every day I woke up and had to depend on you

Needed your strength, needed your love

But every day, mommy, never ending

Hatred, ridicule and hate speech is what I had to face

Why was I ever born mommy?

Why did god make me deformed?

Why only me, why was I not part of the norm?

I love you mommy, do not cry for me’

You see, she was born different

But her life shouldn’t have

She was part of this human race

But felt misplaced

She is one of many

I’m not asking you to spend a penny

I just ask you to have a heart filled with love

Treat them with kindness and show them love

Make them feel like they belong

In their weakness show them your strength

Just remember this could be your child one day

Do not wait for someday

Be that change today

Praise Him in the hallway - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

until GOD opens the next door,
praise Him in the hallway
where all the hurt and pain can be taken away,
lay it down on the ground to be swept away,
never to be seen again,
so praise Him in sunshine and rain

Live Love - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

your last words, what would it be, would it be i am sorry, i regret, i wish, i love, what would be the legacy you leave behind, your footprints imprinted in lives, are they worthy to be followed by young ones looking up to you, tomorrow's not promised so live life as if today's the last, be kind to the next person, show love to all, even if it will cost you your fall, i know it's easier said than done, but there will always be someone to help you rise up, so stand for that which is right, stand, fight, do not back up, do not back down, evil will only win when our lips are shutted, lets Live Love

Her Beauty - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

To defile a lady is to defile your heart. Do not miss out on her inner Beauty just because of her outer appearance. Take time to know her heart. Take time to uplift her soul. See her through your spiritual eyes, because our souls are polluted by daily influences; so renew your mind daily. Temptation and sinful thoughts will come, and that in itself aren't sinful or wrong. But pondering on those thoughts are. And it will leave the door to your heart open to temptation. She's a flower... water her with kind and uplifting words so that she will be deeply rooted and will not wither. Let not your life be robbed from knowing her, because you aren't willing to see her for her. Respect her, Love her, Adore her, Honor her... do this daily.

Touching Hearts - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Touch my heart, touch my soul, touch my body and make me whole, give me life, give me joy, show me happiness and don't let go, give me Christ, give me time, give me boldness to tell this world, there is hope, there is Love, a Love unfailing, a Love so pure, a Love in the form of a small letter t, a GOD, a man, dying on a tree just for me, He rose, He's alive, to give me free access to eternal life, I'm His, I'm His child, I can call Him dad, He call me son, He tells me all the pain and hurt will be gone, and it is time for fun, happiness that cannot be contained, a joy that cannot be explained, a peace that will never go away, trust Me, I will never let you go, I hold you in My palm and surround you with My Love, I have a future for you, I've made you with a purpose, your life have meaning, go into this world and speak about My goodness, My grace, My unfailing Love, be obedient, have faith, daily seek My face, seek and you shall find Me, I'm always near, I will never leave or forsake you, you are precious, you are Loved, go and live your life, it's called life, cause My living Spirit is within you, don't loose hope, don't loose sight, run this race until wee meet face to face

Camp Worship Burn - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Come Holy Spirit set us free
And bring us closer to the Father, Who called us to Worship Him
May our lives be pleasing unto Him
Provide us with Your gifts and help us to reflect Jesus, so that the world can see the changes within

We are nothing without You Lord
Oh Father, the world don't even see
Rendered hearts is what You seek
Spirit and Truth, the means of Worship we should bring
Holy Spirit help us to sing
In all and through all that we face
Praise and Worship because of Amazing Grace

Bless us we pray
Use us each day
Redeem the Lost and help us in the role we play
Now and forever more, we surrender and stop with the childish that we play

Psalm 51:10

need i say more - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

she's beautiful she's gorgeous she's hot, need i say more, why not, she's all that and more, got my jaw dropped to the floor and as i walk through that door she knows it's her i adore

she needs and wants to be full out, sold out, completely and totally for Jesus Christ, that's the quality in a woman that I seek, and that's what I need and want to become, so that we will be equally yoked when we become one

my thoughts in written words - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

ok here's my thoughts i will put it down in written words...

i am who i am like it or not i'm not a robot, i'm not programmed into your expectations, my last line might bring some alienation, but i don't need approval from my generation, not even the next or the previous, if you choose to judge me be sure to be willing to also die for me, but your death will be in vain, your blood can't erase my sinful stain, so don't play the role of GOD, and don't try to kick me when i am down, i might only be a puppy but i will grow up to be a bulldog, and my bark will be as quiet as a mouse compared to my bite, yeah you heard me right, it seems like i am promoting a fight but that's not what i am saying, just don't underestimate me or think you can walk all over me

i was what i was and that's in my past, nothing on this earth will last, forever is linked only in eternity, and my Father prepared a place in heaven for me

i'm going to be what i'm going to be and it all depends on the choices i make, the key is to learn from past mistakes and not to repeat, and know who you want to be, even if it's impossible to see to envision that person to be

make that choice - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I got it/you don't/want fame/not when it will cost my soul/yolo/i don't know/don't think so/but who really knows/one day we all will find out/we'll have that front row seat to that one man show/judgement day we'll all stand alone/we will either love and stand in awe or fear the man on the thrown/so go ahead loose control and loose your soul/have your way and remain the same/your choice your soul your life/but allow me to interject/a shout out to all the rejects/a shout out to all who hears/no matter your status/it doesn't matter who you are/the way to life is for everyone/just to be clear/oh give me a tissue i just shed a tear/this is real emotional/GOD's heart is that no one should loose their soul/no one to be lost/so He went ahead and paid that costly price/what a cost/His only begotten son on that cross/

now here it is/it's still a decision making process/yours/you need to make that choice/choose him choose life/eternal life/yep/there is life after death/that notion of you die and that's that/throw it out/i'll rather be surprised to find out that there wasn't life after death than to find out that there is and didn't choose it/how about you/i know i got something more to say/but for now lets just pray/

i feel like - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i feel like writing but where do i start/i feel like singing but who's got the mic/i feel like dreaming but i can't sleep at night/i feel like fighting but love's the only cause worthy of a fight/all of this might be wrong or it might be right/we all have people in our lives/some close some tight and a few just a little uptight/call me you have my number/still talk to me after we have a fallout/don't ignore me tonight might be our last night/when i say goodbye it's not for forever it's just until we see each other/and if you want me in your life please make it known/'coz i can revisit the interest i've already shown/

judge not - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

They're stepping up to me thinking i will misbehave, me in a bubble i don't think so, i know who i am and will act accordingly, they adored me but something went wrong, horribly, but i don't care i will just do me, looking for someone else, there's the door just leave, the man in the mirror is looking back at me, asking where i've been, where i've been? that's a good question, but that's in the past and that's where i'd left it be, you want to judge me? oh please, look in the mirror and look at the person looking back, point the finger coz that's the only person you should be judging, but not even the person looking back at you deserve your judgement.

am i enough - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

am i handsome enough to get your attention/cute enough to get a word in/and attractive enough to receive a responds/am i good enough to get that first date/lovable enough to keep you interested/sexy enough to make you like me/and endurable enough for you to love me/am i funny enough to make you stick around/smooth enough to make you smile without using a pickup line/

i see beautiful women - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i see beautiful women/beautiful women/.../beautiful women/beautiful women/why do i see them/why do i see them/i see them in my street in my town/i see them in my church i see them all around/but why do i see them/i see them in other countries in magazines/browse the internet and there i see them/why do i see them/

hi beautiful/how you doing/it's been a while since you've been approach with such respect/all we see is your outer beauty and not your heart/i know you want to be loved and want your fairytale/but you go for the men who break you down and who've been around/in your mind you say it's ok he will change/but it's been a decade and you've seen no change/your girls tell you to stay away/but you are so in love that in your eyes they make no sense/i wish the world can see you as God sees you/more importantly i hope you'll see you the way your creator sees you/you are beautiful and shouldn't be ashamed/you should wear your beauty like a beautiful necklace/and you shouldn't allow him to put you in a picture frame/for his eyes only and for his gain/that's not the man for you and he won't change his game/i see your hurt i see your pain/the last mark he left was more than just a stain/it left a scar in your heart and tainted your views of men/there's no such thing as gentlemen/that's false that's a lie/i wish you can open up your eyes/and open up your heart for the man of God/the prince got designed for a princess such as you/it's true/there's a frog who longs a kiss from you/the world sees him as a frog you'll see him as a prince/the world is so dark you need to guard your heart/

true love isn't he loves me too and he buys all these things for me/true love is giving without the expectation of receiving/true love is giving your all even your life/true love isn't found in words it's in the selfless actions/

mama i'm in love - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

mama i'm in love, never knew what all the fuss was all about until now, never knew my heart had room for so much love, room for me and room for her, there's even space for all the people in the world, mama should i go on one knee,is there a price to pay, is there a fee,i have no idea, mama i believe she's the one, may i add her to our family tree, will you welcome her in

Never give up - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

if you seek and you haven't found, is it because you were declined or just that you haven't found it yet, how will you know and what will you do, will you keep on seeking or will you close that door, will that inner-voice be ignored, what more will there be in store, living in agony by dying to be more, seek and seek some more, because you hold on and still believe does it make you weak, tell me how do you measure strength, in one's failures or in accomplishments, do you seek man's approval and compliments just to feel human, to feel alive and to walk through another day

this life - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i'm sick of this life, what life is the q, coz i'm not living it, i need some a's, i need a q&a session, man to mirror, soul searching, my heart needs an awakening, i play my ideal situation in my head, day dreaming, it never hurt anyone, but in reality it's crippling, it seems like i'm faking it, but someday i will make it, like boys 2 men's song, i got to hold on, coz somewhere over the rainbow, yeah i will find my pot of gold, i just hope it's before the day i'm too old, like an angry man my heart's too cold, the devil tries so hard but i can't be bought, i can't be sold, if it only were so simple, but life's choices comes with consequences, and i got to live with it, home is where the heart is, seems like i'm homeless, i don't know where my heart be, i'm torn between this world and eternity, a pleasure for a moment or life everlasting

she's just a trophy - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i don't know what you on about, this is just another day as the rest, you treat your love like she's the only one in the world, like she's a queen, but the next 364 days you don't treat her the same, today you spent like there's no tomorrow, but tomorrow and the days that follows, you don't provide, you rather hang with you friends, spending money on things that pass and wont last, forgetting about the one you claim to love, she's on the phone, mom's heart breaking to see her child's breaking, is this how you show your love, one day in a year, putting up a front for those around, wanting to fit in, mind focused on what will others think, wake up, your love boat is sinking, she shed a bath full of tears while you've been drinking, she's just a trophy

Man in the Mirror - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i don't understand, please explain, give me insight, more knowledge i want to gain, truth needed to keep me sane, i'm not a saint, won't claim to be one anyway, perfect i'm not, i'm human too, just like you, don't judge me, coz i wont judge you, i'm living my life, go ahead and live yours, stop looking at me and how i do life, life will pass you by, tick tock, times out, clock strike midnight, now you're battling, you're in a fight, struggling to breath, the fight of your life, the fight for your life, now you're looking back, what could i've done differently, questioning your every move, the choices you've made, to change that, yes it's too late for that, that which are on your plate, are the capacity that you can intake, the Lord won't give us more than what we can bear, we all have our share, but if you had ask, a helping hand would've been there, i'm looking at the man i hate to see, coz when i look at him, i see the potential that's within me, but the lack of it that's reality, face to face, but i look down with disgrace, the man in the mirror please take my place, help me win this race, just give me taste, the hunger for victory will take over, i will work on it and not wait on a four leaf clover

Things i say - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Things i say, things i do, things things and more things, if you love me, how could you do that to me, questioning what i said, questioning what i do, questions overwhelming your mind, your thoughts runs wild, well, you asked if i love you, you know i do, i'm only human, but that's no excuse, i make mistakes, and so do you, we were together, now we parted, but it won't be forever, coz we promised forever, we said we will be together, i hate what's happening, i hate that we don't speak, i hate that there's hurt, bitterness, and regrets, i always speak from my heart, and what comes out aint always good, but it's always the truth, and just know i haven't closed that door, the welcome mat is still on the floor, i'm waiting for you to come in, back into my life, into my world, as before i can't promise you diamonds and gold, but i do promise you will never be cold, you in my arms i will hold, we a love story written and yet to be told, love the ink, our lives the pens, we writing our love story, not a cinderella, not a sleeping beauty, not rapunzel, but true beauty that will never sleep, that will never be locked up, and love that will never be a slave, and when i do misbehave, it will be in role play, a story we will write before bedtime, not suitable for underage, the question, do you want this too, deep down i know you do, in your eyes i see that question, in my heart i have that answer, you don't have to ask, coz in this song, through this song i'm telling you now

I don't know what to say - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I don't know what to say, words don't come my way, if I can convince you to stay, I will stay with you from june to may, a full year 365 days, and every leap year an extra day, my heart's not made of clay, it's soft and would break if you should go away, words just don't come my way, say that you would stay, say you would stay, I know some where we went astray, but I'll always remember that day, when our eyes said what our lips couldn't say, I know words don't come easily your way, but just let our hearts relay

I - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I get it that you don't get it, but we need to get it in order for them to get it, we must speak it, because they seek it, more so they need it, but we can't go into battle empty handed, half prepared, with an armor broken, so I'm starting with I...

I cannot do this again, I do not want to defend my actions, I'm not perfect but strive towards perfection, I cannot be all you want or need me to be, so I will be the best me I can be and that's that, I'm here in this same situation, where did I make that wrong turn, that u-turn, 360 decrease all the time, time to step out of that circle mindset, going and going in circles, no longer will I, coz it's draining me out and I'm getting nowhere, time to make that all important move, a choice giving birth to action, action that causes a reaction, a domino effect, I won't sit back and watch the change taking place within me, I will go out and live that change so that everyone can see, coz the I is where we all need to start, in order to make a change in the world we want to see

take words - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I can take words that are worthless and meaningless/And arrange and put it together/To make sentences that are wonderful and meaningful/Simple words that are disregarded or misunderstood/Can be useful to capture the beauty that a picture can't/To write a poem that will win the heart of your heart's desire/Or be used to write a song that will make her heart skip a beat/

i tried to warn you but you didn't listen/this time around i hope you won't repeat the same mistake/so please heed my words/but whom am i kidding/love is love/and once your hooked there will always be room for compromise/so when you've learned your lesson/i'll be there coz this is my confession/coz whom am i kidding/love is love/and since the day you came into my life/i've never been the same/and my heart's desire has been/that you will someday feel the same/circumstances might dictate that this won't be the case/but we don't live in a world that remains constant/things always change so i have reason to hope/and once we truly find one another/our actions will show the world that true love is out there/

so until that day i will remain/forever and always/through the worst and the good days/hopeful i will stay and i still say/i've been waiting for this day/two paths becoming one/a journey no longer just for one/two hearts founding love/all it took was faith/to bring us to this place/and now i can tell you i love you face to face/

To that someone - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

To that someone that's not in my life yet... hey girl/as you're approaching me/i was wondering/can i ask you a question/may i fall inlove with you/are your heart available/if no/please say it belongs to me/i'm a romantic so allow me to romance you/do your heart skip a beat/when you see me walking down the street/every time i see you it happens to me/and it's not becoz my heart is weak/

In control - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Little did I know that God is in control
In every situation He will never let me go
And at the end of my life's career in His presence I will be
'Coz on the cross He died to set me free

The story doesn't end... He rose and conquered death
Promised to never leave or forsake me
And by His Spirit I will be guided
And by His Word I will be fed
Proclaiming His life the greatest story read

Now to test out my skill
This blessing where pen hits paper
And God's Glory gets revealed
And certainly not doing it in my own strength
But giving praise and honor to God who gave me this gift in the first place

Now to end this off
I just want you all to know
My God, my King, my Saviour... Jesus Christ is in control
His the one who owns my soul
And not for silver or gold
Or anything in or of this world
Shall I let Him go

Vacancy - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

I was busy preparing an ad and it goes like this:

Vacancy available for immediate effect.
Requirements are:
1. You must be male born on the 12 March 1984
2. Must have brown eyes
3. And natural black spikable hair
4. Must be creative by nature
5. Must have the same DNA as me(the one placing this ad)
6. Must hate lies and Love the Truth
7. Be loyal and trustworthy
8. Keep yourself for one woman
9. But most importantly; Love God and have accepted Jesus.

I got a lot of responses. A few that had nearly all these qualities, but none could apply with each and every requirement ticked. The most requirements met was 8 out of 9, but that was just one or two applicants. I was amazed that noone out of 6 billion people was successful. So I went over my list and saw that one number on my list was never ticked, not even once. That made me realise that I am the only one perfect for this vacancy. 'Coz i'm the only one that could tick number 5 on my list.

What I've learned through this process was that there's only one of me and noone but me can fill this position. If that's the case then surely I can't fill someone else's shoes. We can only be the best self by being ourselves and nobody else.

I'm glad to announce that the position was filled and since then business was blooming!

Book, Mixtape and the third verse - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Verse 1//
If I was a book with pictures would you read me then/but since i'm not you find me hard to read/i'm too grown up a book you wouldn't dare to pick up/and wouldn't care to read/believe me i'm not that complicated/but since it cost time to spend reading me I wouldn't ask you to/but there's a chapter that tells a story about Jesus and what he has done for me/trust me it's a good read/it will show you what you need to do to receive eternal life/

Verse 2//
If I was a mixtape with your favorite artists on it you would listen to me/but clearly i'm not so you start dissing me/instead of listening to the words and what I have to say/coz what I have to say is only for your benefit/but you choose to go your own way/a lifestyle leading to the pit/rewind that back matter of fact what i'm saying is that/if you didn't choose Jesus as lord you'll end up in hell/listen to this track so that you can get on track/

Verse 3//
This verse is for those who doesn't like reading or listening to mixtapes/the preceding verses is just metaphors I explored/I have plenty more but let me keep it short/so that you won't be bored/and keep it simple and plain so that you wouldn't have to scratch your brain/Jesus is like oxygen without it you're dead and that's that/John 3:16/you need to make that choice before it's too late/it's not like you can make it better with flowers and chocolates if you arrive late when on a date/this late is when you're dead/coz that's the cut off line deadline/or if you're lucky to be there at his second coming/and you lived a life not pleasing to him there's no second chance/this air you inhale this lifetime is all you have to be saved/go ahead and accept his amazing grace/daily seek his face and run the race/

Hook//
A Book, a Mixtape and a third verse is what i've invested in to give you the truth/it's up to you/you have to choose/life or death/

falling - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

falling in love is easy, i wear my heart on my sleeve, but i walk away from opportunities, it's easier to leave, just waiting for the right one, but is there such thing as the right one, or just an excuse not to be with someone, when my heart skip a beat my feet just want to run, my mind play it out, what it could be like, i'm a over thinker, thinking way too much, i should just let it be, and let it all play out, who knows the she that i like might also be liking me, my love is like a bird in a trap wanting to be set free, is there someone out there that can help me, open up my eyes and help me to see, coz i think my sleeve is a mess, full of blood, coz my heart is on it, i'm free falling, but this time around i'm all in, no longer just writing but this song i will sing

Father you know me well - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Father you know me well, o so well, better than i know myself, you know my struggle, my skeleton disguised as my wardrobe, i got the key to that cupboard hidden, but you see all things, you created me you know my heart, but where do i start, what do i put down in lines i can't say aloud in spoken word, you see my thoughts, nothing hidden so here i am willing to expose myself for your glory, it's a daily struggle occurring at night, it would be called a battle if i had the courage to fight, and i know what i do aint right, guilty conscious seems not to be enough, so lord i need you, please don't give me what i've earn, coz your mercy i don't deserve but what i yearn, please help me turn

i never knew i would be telling you this, so openly and exposing me, naked truth, but i realise and know nothing is hidden from you, you even know each and every hair on my head, lord i'm suppose to learn from my mistakes, and grow but i don't know, lord take my hand and lead me i need to be shown, i can't do this on my own, come run this show, here's the key to my heart take control

what they don't want to see - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

i speak the truth but nobody wants to listen, they're afraid to look inside, so rather choose to hide, but no one's seeking, that's what they want but not needing, their soul's leaking but they ain't seeing, laying in their own blood but they don't feel it, can't see it, don't want to believe it, so read it and inspect it, not this song, your soul, you are foul and judgement's clouded, get back to reality and stay grounded, let me give a shout out, out of the way let me out, not gonna box me in, i'm gonna sing and to the table i'll bring, not drinks, not bling blings, biblical truth that we all need, Jesus in my lyrics, devil fear this, don't want this, he up against me, he shoots, miss, yes, i got my shield of faith, standing firm with the belt of truth buckled around my waist, and breastplate of righteousness in place, not forgetting my feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace, with the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of GOD, Lord this is what they don't wan to see, but i'm willing make me able, on this tightrope called life you help me balance, through troubles and all my struggles

Lord this is what they don't want to see, but i'm willing make me able, on this tightrope called life you help me balance, through troubles and all my struggles, i'm running this race just to see your face, going all the way wanting first place, all day long praise you for your amazing grace

what they don't want to see is what i'm here to bring, what they order i don't serve, what they get is what they don't deserve, hard pill to swallow, take a sip of the spring of living water, i can't give it i just rep it, he brings it he gives it, it's we that needs it not he, all he ask is that we believe and just receive, and let him in, into our hearts, make him king, make him lord

his valentine - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

do you want to be my valentine, that's how it went down, he just wanted a good time, she was so excited when she got invited, the guy of her dreams wanting to make her his queen, that's what she thought, after awhile he just got bored, so when she called he just ignored, and now he's busy with another girl's heart, just taking them for a ride, leaving behind broken hearts, not realising their value because he doesn't know his own value, see there's a root to all his misguided behaviour, all he need is a saviour, who can give him a new heart a new life a new start, all he need is someone to tell him the truth, he can't make a decision to change if he doesn't know that he needs to change, if he doesn't know the lifestyle his living isn't right, and the battles at night that he fights can have a knight, Jesus Christ

Love her (don't judge her) - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

A hundred miles per hour/she doesn't care about the hour/as long as she devours/another woman's heart/she's sleeping with her lover/he's married but she isn't bothered/all concerned about the pleasures of the flesh/destruction that's what she does best/now she's stepping to another/tempting him but this is his test/he knows right from wrong and knows what's best/she tells him have your way with me and afterwards just confess/your wife won't know 'coz we won't tell a soul/she has the looks but a mind of a crook/taking what's not hers/she doesn't even need a verse or need to rehearse/all she need is her looks to get them hooked/

Before you judge her get to know her/yes what she's doing is wrong/but who are we to judge we aint GOD/let me tell you about a girl/five years old/stepped into her room one afternoon/mom's drugged out with strangers in the house/four men with mom having their way/'coz that's what mom do all day/for money 'coz daddy stepped out when this girl was only three years old/now two of the men had enough with mom/still wanted to have some fun/and one by one they had their way with this young girl/who didn't know what to say/this was her first rape experience/as she grew older mom sold her little body for a dime and drugs/'coz mom was all sex'd out and men had enough/wanted fresh blood/this is her story/this is how she got into it/her body equals money/

She don't believe she can be loved/all she knows is men who wants her body and not her heart/deep down in her soul she feels unworthy because of her past/so she keeps on doing what she's been doing/all she need is a brotha who will love her like none other/who will treat her like he treats his mother/with love and respect/matter of fact he will take her to his mother/'coz he's not ashamed of her past/won't blame her for her actions/but love her enough to show her there's another way/and if she choose to stay/he will provide/

But what she really need is GOD/she needs to come to the Father's Heart/accept Jesus and have a brand new start/a clean slate/inhale His Love and exhale hate/surrender her all/and be whole and complete/experience GOD's Amazing Grace/

This little light of mine - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

FATHER, This little light of mine, I will make it shine... give You all the Glory, 'coz none of it is mine, give You praise for Your Amazing Grace, daily I will come to Your throne to seek Your face,

I once was lost but now I'm found, my feet You place on steady ground, with my brothers and sisters I'll make a joyful sound,

I once was blind but now I see, far beyond my wildest dreams, miracles You've shown me, not because of unbelieve, but just to show how much You Love me,

DADDY, I once was weak, but You came and strengthen me, gave me victory in the battlefield, without me having to move my feet, You showed me principles like 'what you sow you will reap', daily You constantly bless me, the evidence in the air I breath,

JESUS, You died for me, come and live inside me...

AMEN

MY JESUS - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

one two three, nails into the cross just for me, from sinner to saint, with His blood I'm set free, a new dawn, a journey where I follow Jesus our King, from dream to reality, experiencing Jesus Love for me, celebrating for days, worshiping GOD in all my ways, walking by Faith, stepping out into the water focusing on You

inspiration - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

something to inspire, lifting His name up higher, i once was a liar until He burnt me with that Holy Ghost fire, i was lost until i was lost in His presence, He found me, i am and always will be, His, Jesus my Saviour changing all my bad habits and behaviours, gave my life to Him, no other King, He is my Lord, my dad ABBA Father, giving me words to inspire, inspiring me to lift His name up higher, lifting my spirit, i was down cast, in a nightmare that i thought will last, a never ending story, but deep down i knew in the end it will bring Him glory, my storm won't last, someday it will be a thing of the past, my heartache and all the pain will fade away, swept away in His presence each and everyday, a new dawn a new day, His mercies are new, brand new, each and everyday

i hear you calling my name, you gave me a heart of a lion ferociously loving you, my Almighty Loving Father, GOD, thank you for my life, thank you for never leaving and never forsaking me, You are my shepherd, i shall not be in want, thank you for my inspiration, i've lost faith along the way, but You kept Your faithfulness towards me, You are all that i need, when i couldn't see an outcome You were already aware and made away, You are holding me in the palm of Your hand, no safer place for me to be, fill me with Your anointing each day, inspire me every day, keep me on the straight and narrow, i don't want to go astray, keep me safe i pray

truth - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

you don't want to hear the truth, the truth is too much for you, can't handle it so you rather stand on lies and compromise, not realising it much more like quicksand, slowly you are sinking but you can't see it, too focus on that which isn't real, all about how it makes you feel, a happy chappy wanting everything to happen in a snappy, no patience no sense of reality, but it's time you listen and listen up, you might be angry and fed up, but this you got to hear before it's time up, let me tell you about a path we are all on since birth, a life that leads to death, spiritually everlasting eternity, but we have a way out, won't lie it will cost you, you will have to deny yourself pick up your cross and follow Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life, He's the only doorway to heaven, only access to eternal life, it's worth the price, just count the cost, He paid a price so that we won't be lost, make Him Lord and Saviour of your life

ghosts of the past - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

ghosts of the past, hope you won't last, silly of me to ask, but try if i may, coz really i don't want you to stay, if only i can have my way, if only i say, dark clouds i see, because of my actions i believe, forgiveness i ask, but forgetting not an easy task, nightmares not only at night, wake up and fight, my demons day and night, serve me right they would say, i agree payment for my ways, no one else to blame, walking in shame, trying to keep me sane, from all my thoughts and feelings flowing through my heart, hope it won't last, coz it's not easy living with my ghosts of the past

My Painful Chapter - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

Jezebel is putting me through hell, spirit of lust is not putting up a fair fight, my battle was always at night, but now it’s at my workplace, 24/7

I’m single she’s not, I’m free she’s not, I’m in this place where I feel for her she’s not, and even if she feels for me and denies it, I still shouldn’t be giving into these feelings, lustful desires so overwhelming it’s overwhelming me, a love for a girl I desire I wish it had an expiring date and it can expire, she’s beautiful but doubt that’s the source of my desire, there’s something there, something deep pass a feeling of care, even though we were never physical or exchange any I love you’s, it is a battle to let go, and so I’m writing this song to let you know…

… I’m wounded I’m bruised I’m in this battle and I just loose, who keeps on throwing in coins these credits just keeps on building up, game over but just replays, pressing start button to continue, I want out but no one’s hearing me, teary eyes walking around torn up, LORD this’ my 911 call, on my knees to the ground I fall, You want my all but it’s not easy, all I want to do is please me

Pen to paper, ink to reality, shout out to all who read this or hear me sing, say a little prayer for me, doesn’t have to be much, just enough, this chapter in my life is tough, a little rough, I’m at that stage where I had enough, satan saw through my bluff, and now his troops are storming in, he wants me to crown him king, but I’ll rather die before I kiss his ring, I have my own king, the creator of all, ABBA Father, GOD

like it or not - Riaan 'JePro' Davids

honestly truthfully there's no lies i can conjure up to grab your attention, your grasp of the situation gives me a firm indication that you need some education, my generation so hooked on games ranging from xbox pc and playstation, don't forget the mobile games smart phones the in thing, we are loosing time it's not a crime but we doing injustice to ourselves, another time waster facebook twitter and the lost soul myspace taking up all our time what a disgrace, but this is truth we don't want to face, home alone in your own space, "i'm kinda busy" when a friend want to come over to your place, if we don't fit in a box labelled to what fit your agenda then time is limited or you're not available, friendships scalable on a scale no one can really live up to, now moving on to a topic subject that is a bit touchy, will most probably hit me much harder than you, series, oh my, we can include movies too, hours upon hours going by we just call it a pass time, we're not hurting anyone so what's the crime, we don't realise how we are polluting our minds, a seed gets planted a thought and it grows into an idea, as we entertain this idea it becomes a habit and these habits become us, character building

like it or not we will have to face this sooner or later, better sooner 'coz later will be just too late, we're already one foot in the grave, most of us are slaves, slave mentality that's our reality, when will we draw the line and open up our eyes, now it's time for my rhyme to bring in that spiritual notation that's prominently all about salvation, like it or not believe it or not there's life after death, someday one day on that day when it's our time, tick tick times up, yes we all with pass away, and when you look upon his face what will be your fate, are you ready for a clean slate, you're living right, so it's not too late, the choice is yours choose life choose Christ eternal life, He's the way the truth and life

honestly truthfuly this lyrics isn't to bully you just to inform you fully so that you won't be open to be fooled 'coz that won't be cool
