Bio
For 19 years, I had been writing and recording music for the world, but once I gave my life to Christ, that definitely all changed. Now I am dedicating my music to glorifying Him and ministering to people who have no idea who He is. Through my style of Hip Hop, which incorporates elements of Soul, R&B, & Worship, my desire is to create an experience for the listener that is inspiring, bold, and honest while pointing all fingers to Jesus. The objective of this ministry is to create timeless music with an emphasis on quality and variety that can appeal to people who love Hip Hop and people who normally wouldn’t listen to Hip Hop.
Behind The Song
It’s a love song dedicated to my wife, plain and simple. However, truth be told, I didn’t like it when I first wrote it. I knew I nailed the hook and the break, but the verses weren’t up to par. I mean, how do you write the perfect song for your parent, spouse, or child? I guess I put a lot of pressure on myself to deliver, but once I laid it down, the Lord calmed me and ensured me He had this covered. The hard part was keeping it a secret for so long (it was almost a full year before Evelyn heard it), but even harder was playing it in front of her. She didn’t react too much at first. She’s one of those that needs time to digest deep songs but she fell in love with it eventually. I hope others will too. It’s a celebration of love and the beauty of marriage. We almost didn’t make it to this point, but God was with us every step of the way, and in a world that celebrates divorce and jumping from person to person, the Lord had me create something with a nostalgic feel that brings it back to a time when love and marriage meant something. May you enjoy it and play it 100 times for your special someone! God bless and thank you for checking it out.
Lyrics
Life So Sweet
Verse 1
Hello darling
I was just sitting here
Thinking ‘bout all
The different ways
That you love me
It’s an honor
To be your man
What you bring is
So beautiful
In a world that
Can get ugly
Our story didn’t start
Just yesterday
But you’re still
The only girl
That walks in room
And takes my breath away
When I’m feeling low
You build me up
Remind me
On a lonely road
You’re still right beside me
It’s like a fairy tale
How we ended up
Together
But sometimes I don’t see it
As such
But you forgive the flaws
And treat me like a king
And you’re the queen
Who I used to
Only see in dreams
I’m blessed beyond
Blessed
It’s crazy
This is the beginning
We have so much time left
Let’s just dive in
No need to hold your breath
Best day of my life
Is when you said “yes”
Chorus
Girl your love makes life
So sweet
There’s no where I wanna be
Without you next to me
Girl because your love
Makes life so sweet
There’s no where I wanna be
Without you next to me
Baby yeah
Verse 2
Fell in love in the summer
Isley Brothers, Al Green
Was the soundtrack for the scene
Barbecues by the pool
Me and your fam getting cool
Who would ever guess
This would be a “thing”
I didn’t think
I was ready
Or worthy of your heart
So much pain in my past
Where could I even start
To explain my fear
I never needed to
You showed me the
Kind of man that I’d be with you
Yeah
You made me better
At times we’re blind still
But we learn the steps
As we dance in the minefield
I wouldn’t have it any
Other way
I’d wait a whole lifetime just
To spend one day
In your comforting arms
Your passion
Your laughter
Sharing this life
As we pray for the after
Let’s show them who we follow
So they never wonder
What God put together
No man put asunder
Chorus
Bridge
And it only gets better with time (3x)
Always on my mind
You are so fine
I’m so glad you’re mine
Chorus (4x)
