New Gospel Song---This will end!

Spoken(Before song): No matter your problem, no matter how long it's been, God's given your trials an expiration date! And God says, your troubles are not gonna last always!





Verse 1:
God---Right now, I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders! I'm wondering when will all this be over!? You said you yoke is easy and yo burdens are light! But right now I feel I'm carrying weight of the whole world right now!





Verse 2:
It just seems like I have problem after problem. I'm really trying to live for you but still there's more problems! I pray my heart out everyday--- praying that you'll make away! But things just seem to get worse everyday! But inspite of everything I can still hear you say...




Chorus 1(2X'S):
This will end...I heard Him say, this will end! God said this will end!











Verse 3:
It seems like my whole life's been filled with troubles! Yet you don't move fast on the double. Sometimes I feel like you've turned your ear from me. Because you don't answer my desperate plea!
But though it's hard sometimes to maintain the faith in me.




Chorus 2(1X):
But my faith is not in me but in thee! So I can see past my storms and just ride through them in yo arms!

Chorus 1(Again 1X)

Then Bridge:
Today please give me eagles wings to fly above the storms so the rain can't do me no harm.

Then Chorus 1 til fade...

Thinkin' Back!
[A somber reflective rap song]
[W/Strong Bass Guit. Intro & throughout!] [W/8 Bar Bass Guit. Intro---Med. HIP HOP Beat]


Verse : 1 [13 Bars ---Typ.]
Thinkin' back on yesteryear. If I go back far enough. I really didn't have no fears. These are the times my mom sent me to store for cigarettes at eight! During those times most people wasn't fake---but for some now, everyday's like Halloween! Thy put on masks and run their schemes to escape !
Those were the days with "Songs In The Key of Life, by Stevie Wonder---but how we got so out of tune I can only wonder!

Chorus : [After every verse---Typ.]
Now... just thinkin' back on times gone past---life's hard trials and tragedies made me think I wasn't gonna last! So I'm just continplating and now thinkin ' back!
Thinkin back...!Thinkin back...!Thinkin back...!Thinkin back...!



Verse 2:
Back in the day, life was filled with fun and play----see that's a place I wish I really could've stayed! Having playground fun takes me all the way back to my childhood! See, back then we was living in the hood---Hough, EC and Lakeview, respectively. But the shotguns sounding tells me that it ain't what it it was,today! Ragan talked about a war on drugs---but that was to late after so many died from slugs! But sorry to inform you, Mr President, that they gets no love!

Chorus [2X's]

Verse 3:
What Hillary said is true---that "It takes a village" to raise the children to!----but homelessness and drugs runnin' rampant to!
See, the village is in trouble so we better help them on the double!
So all the fatherless homes really don't know what to do! When I was growing up men were proud to be a dad! But but we're raising a fatherless generation---it's so sad! I remember the days when we'd have real block parties! But now they don't even speak to you and are quick to part ways!


Chorus [2X's]

Verse:4
But now the neighbors might hit you with a glock party! An water balloon you and quickly part ways!So many children our out here forsaken---then we wonder why we have so many break ins! Our village has sadly become our streets! Raising up Crack babies with no food to eat! I see it every day as I walk the streets!
See, we have a whole generation with no shoes on their feet!---with no where to got but being past up by the elite!

Chorus [2X's]

Verse 5:
We just walk past them to go to our big homes---while we leave them peril, home along. They are somebody's sons, daughters and family! But we act like we don't see them cryin' out so desperately! We turn a blind eye to their misery because we've forsaken our family! Just thikin' back on yesterday, I wish we could go back and there's no amount of money that I wouldn't to go back to those good old days!
But please remember, I wrote this song for change!

Ending Chorus [4X's---Til beat 4 Bars then abrupt ending]

["It can't be "! (Dedicated to my dear brother Pastor Samuel Curtis Burton Jr.]

[A somber beat and mood!]

Verse 1:
Can it be that you really leaving us? Cuz all that musically stuff ain't even been done enough! Though you lay there on the bed of death- -- we still don't your soul to go to rest! As your every heartbeat brings you closer to your end--- we still thought this was just the beginning!
The thought of this breaks my heart into!
Even though Dad, Mom, Gankie and Brenda have already left us--- but now you gonna to be leaving us to?

Chorus:
[Repeat 2X's between verses and at abrupt ending!]

It can't be that you leaving us! It can't be,---cuz together we still gotta accomplish so much! It can't be, it can't be, it just can't be!

Verse 2:
You was the first one of us to do your thing and music! You did great things in your music!

But you still have aspirations of doing greater thangs! I can still here it so loudly as it rangs! And you always encouraged me and say I to will do great thangs! You always spoke positivity in me and never giving up is your best quality! God, please promise me that this is not the end of the road, as his life seems to quickly comes to a close!

[Chorus:Again]

Verse 3:
So many dreams to fulfill we must always remember--- but we gotta remember to yield to God's will!

See, we already fightin' a battle with most of our soldiers down- --but yet we fight on and believe the things gonna still to turn around! God, no matter what we must know your will must be done ---even though even life keeps telling us its scary puns! But we gotta still give up and let God have His run, cuz He's still more than enough!

[Chorus:again]

Verse 4:
I really don't like this feeling in the pit of my stomach! I don't know what to make of this nonsense!

See we still supposed to blow up as a family and do our music---but I have to gracefully bow down and let God work through this! See we've been through tragedy after tragedy- -- but I still realize I have to set up the next Generation after me! So Lord, please pick me up and carry me!

[4 Bar instrumental intro]

Chorus:[Start song here-4X's before Verse 1]

I slept through the stormy weather!

Verse 1:

While it was still raining I was still painting. But my heart was painting a picture of it stops raining. But then the sun came out and dried up all the rain. See the sunshine healed all my pain. But for some strange reason the thunder and lightning was still too much. And the pain I had inside was way too much. But I didn't fall cuz I slept through it all!

Verse 2:

Although it was thundering so hard but I didn't hear it because I was taking a nod! People then ask me didn't you hear all the rain and noise last night and I said no. Because I was sleeping through the fight! See my mind was still sunny and my eyes weren't running tears of Muddy!
Chorus:[4X's before verse 3]

Verse 3:

I never thought in life there'd be so much pain! See it never warned me before this world in which I came. Although I came but I can't take the blame- because it was by Design so tame! Nevertheless it ran up on me like a man insane! Yet I dealt with the cars that came it's how I beat the rain!

Chorus till fade...

"Indian Giver"
Writen, Composed & Arraanged by Paul F. Burton

Intro: Musical: (Bass 4 bars(During spoken: "Indian Giver" 4X's) then other music 4 bars then vocal prelude for remaining 4 bars of intro music,)

Vocal Intro(Sing chorus 2X''s):

You an Indian Giver! First, you gave yo, then you took it right back!
You an Indian Giver! First, you gave yo, then you took it right back!


Verse 1:

At first we had a love that nobody could deny. But when we had problems, you were nowhere in sight. I thought you'd hide my love inside yo heart. I thought you'd still love me so we'd never part. But like a true Indian Giver, you gave yo love, but you took it right back.


Verse 2:

When we moved to D-Town, I thought my dreams were abolished. That's why I light weight became an alcoholic! I was trying to wash away the pain! Then l nearly went insane! See, my purpose seemed worthless. Then I started going churchless! Then things started getting much worse than this! Yea... yea...

Rap Verse:

In this life, there's a lot of pain! But no one expects to get it again! It you had supported like you was supposed to, then we would have grown together like we was supposed to. But I have no hard feelings for you because we both are forgiven to. But I have to tell you the truth, that you really ripped my heart into! So at that point in our relationship, I was so, so through!

Chorus again (2X's)

Verse 3:

You really didn't understand me. That was evident because you put too many demands on me! "You had me workin', workin' day and night", like Michael Jackson! That's why we got into so many big fights! It was way too much action! You really had me fooled with yo fake love. Cause if it's true love then you don't take it back! I came to realize that you never had my back! No! No! No! No!!!...

Saxophone Solo(8 Bars)

Bridge:

But thanks for letting me go! Cause I found real love, and so much more! Now that I'm free, like a bird, I can fly, and be who I'm supposed to be!!! Yea....

Chorus & adlib til fade...
