Two wills, in parallel opposite directions now aligned
With a heart that isn't mine
Lord have mercy, divine flows in my arteries
Grace given strength, that enables every part of me
From nerves to my ligaments, prayers become diligence
Nothing can stop me, what's conquered is omnipotent
The same power that rose Jesus from the grave
Resuscitated this artist, synonymously an instrument
Now Darko is holding light, set ablaze in the coldest night
My Heart burns for those who're cold as ice
Ain't talking poltergeist homie, I know it's Christ
in me, verses Holy Ghost written like it haunts the pen
An enemy who's now made friend, through the remedy
To he who descended to me, from the heavenlies
All presupposed thesis' break, before Jesus'
Word beyond clarity, me and truth bond as chemistry
Chemistry Chemistry, bond like its James
Double 07's we agents of change
Tested through fire, fanning the flame
Live by the blood, not dying in vain
Grace in the flood, the lamb who was slain
Came as a man, yet died inhumane
Healed by his stripes, He took all my pain
To live is for Christ, to die is my gain
With a hunger like it's poverty
Paved the way, walking in it properly
A destiny's child, golden clay from copper's pottery
All praise due, to God's Sovereignty!

[Verse 1: Darko]
It's me myself and the eye of the most high
Who oversee(sea) as captain on this ship
Brampton be my city, but I really hail from London, all the way to the 6
Last year I graduated College, in debt to OSAP couldn't pay rent
Summer now I'm Scott free, red high beam shades on, me and my mutants riding in my Benz
Matthew 6:33 is my motto
Treat these pages like it's lotto
Drank his living water full bottle
Thanks for the new wine and bread like I got toast
The communion of the Hypo-Static union
Divine cardiologist makes a fusion, place His heart that consumes him
With a desire that's mine for the choosing
So I write raps, if my hand gets a bruising grab an ice pack
Because we don't know what's loosing
Everybody talk problems, me and my dogs, fetch solutions
Mouth of the Old Heads, I'm a student
Feet of the compassionate, I'm prudent!
In my weakness he gives me strength, to muster up my resolution
But it's sad to say in my past life, that wasn't always me
Decaying rottweiler back to his vomit, a hellish boy on his leash
But the sun who eclipse my hindsight, took the chains off of me
Repented due to change of heart, now I'm free. Free indeed
[Hook: Darko & Jojo Worthington]
His blood is in my veins, in my veins a change of heart
His blood is in my veins, in my veins a change of heart
(There's a change inside my heart)
Ain't the same, ain't the same, I got a change of heart
Ain't the same, ain't the same! I got a change of heart!
Ignite the flame
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ignite the flame
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ain't the same
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ain't the same!
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
(This heart is on fire!)
[Verse 2: Darko]
You know I had no heartbeat, I was flat-lined
Calling me wake up O Sleeper, it's past your nap time
Know some cats, living lax, though it's half time
And they gave up walking straight, because they lack spine
From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Can't stomach this treasure, that's why my heart leaks
The kind of stuff my art preach
They don't leave on a high note, think I'm off key
Persuade the truth, lies bodied
Above all names, not copied
They babble on about aims to elevate to his throne, going to get lobbied
Put my faith in Christ, almost broke but my life made cents(sense)
Suffering's blessed, hopping on tracks, I'm on the other side of that fence
Sword I rock, words I got, cuts deep, and my defense
This gift blew past my pains for the future! That's what I call a present tense
Running through the Six, bible studies with my woes
Surf the net, sipping tea picky up using my brain to take over the world
Benching weighty truth, and represent he's real as I curl
To be a man after his own heart, the greatest pearl
[Hook: Darko & Jojo Worthington]
His blood is in my veins, in my veins a change of heart
His blood is in my veins, in my veins a change of heart
(There's a change inside my heart)
Ain't the same, ain't the same, I got a change of heart
Ain't the same, ain't the same! I got a change of heart!
Ignite the flame
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ignite the flame
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ain't the same
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
Ain't the same!
(Heart is on fire, heart is heart is on fire)
My heart burns!
(This heart is on fire!)

Intro:
Falling fallen, parachutes, parachutes
Falling fallen, parachutes, parachutes
All men falling fallen, all man needs a parachute parachute
All men falling fallen, all man needs a...
Verse 1: Darko
He's boss you employee, can't spell it with no L's
And he won't take em either in the ring, like May Weather
Christ reigns, just like in May weather
The hay-maker of all, you better pray feather... wait!
Don't look down, pride puts a sound mind in an off switch
High try to fly, like a chicken or a ostrich
Now back to the topic at hand,
But on the other hand, all fallen it's common to all...
Man Adam fell in, the pride of life
With Eve and conceived death as his own offspring
We on the same plane,
In terror arrogant dudes got balls, they think they're in the cockpit
So we give good news, dog that's synoptic
Me and John II vs 10
it's insane we give the new wine, that breaks paradigms
Objective truth that goes against logic
And the Devil cannot stop it!
Hook: Juliet Oh
It's like we preach
That man is who reigns and waters the planet
But each
Has his own crop to reap what he planted
(Preach)
Crash and burn is the execute... Crash and Burn
But Christ is the Parachute
Verse 2: Shopé
Beseeched to speak to weaker sheep
Anticipate the main event like it's Christmas Eve
But you your peace ain't no other gifts to give
The first time he was cut, that's a Christmas tree
The second time he's coming sure for the sheep that's his
So how you figure you can sky dive and still persist
Without a chute or a proof that you'll land in bliss
Now I ain't landing this, but are you landing this?
This world ain't go'n last forever
See the signs speaking lines for the weather
Plus the living going higher condo
Don't know when baby but do I know
All fallen down all coming down no... wait
But not all of them hit the ground
Ain't even boy I ain't with the drama
He's coming back. yeah I put that on my momma!
Hook: Juliet Oh
It's like we preach
That man is who reigns and waters the planet
But each
Has his own crop to reap what he planted
(Preach)
Crash and burn is the execute... Crash and Burn
But Christ is the Parachute

[Verse 1: Darko]
Everybody got a passion
A desire on that burns that's reflects like a mirror
Thoughts words verbs character to action
And it's more than just rapping
Convicts my soul I know the lord won it
write art from the art and spit it from the stomach
Past life I was high off pride, unjust to see how far I'd Plummet
But I've been Re wired lord knows
Just a puppet with a crooked nose that the lord chose
Lifeless, a credit card from my master but Christ
Paid the cost of my sin...priceless
High strung chords an instrument of mercy
Can't be disconnected, no matter how much you curse me
sticks and stones, words will never hurt me
Their only a blessing to suffer if I'm worthy
Blessed to truth
Cursed to lie
Blessed for life
Cursed to die
Blessed to heal
Cursed to pain
Blessed for zeal
But not cursed to claim
[Chorus: Izzy Martin & Stephanie Eckert]
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer is not letting go
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Gently on my arteries, attached until he becomes a part of me
(Apart of me!)
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer he's not letting go
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Desires what my heart yearns, the flame is what makes it burn
(We'll burn burnx2)
[Verse 2: Darko]
And it's like I've seen it all
With People who even believe in God
Slaves to money slaves to cars
Living like kings enslaving pawns
Desires of life so shallow, like they scratch the surface to find they purpose to do No more than live foul
Technically hate the ref since life's a game
For me I stay in my own lane
Just a flowered bud that gets his own rain
we all tied to dad, so we all the same
Discipline and growth in pain
So those who're high strung,
pulled behind the curtain and know for certain we got an audience of one
And we tell the truth, Pinocchio's
Dance even if no one at our shows
Sweet Aroma of life that he rose,
And Geppetto now, is tying souls
Red string of fate is tying souls
[Chorus: Izzy Martin & Stephanie Eckert]
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer is not letting go
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Gently on my arteries, attached until he becomes a part of me
(Apart of me!)
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer he's not letting go
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Desires what my heart yearns, the flame is what makes it burn
(We'll burn burnx2)
[Bridge: Darko]
And I know I won't be severed x4
And I know he's not going to drop me x4
(Geppetto!)
[Chorus: Izzy Martin & Stephanie Eckert]
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer is not letting go
(Not letting go!)
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Gently on my arteries, attached until he becomes a part of me
(Apart of me!)
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Wired to the soul, the puppeteer he's not letting go
(Not letting go!)
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
Desires what my heart yearns, the flame is what makes it burn
(We'll burn burnx2)
And I know I won't be severed x4
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
And I know he's not going to drop me x4
Like I'm strung to Geppettox2
And I know I won't be severed x4
Like I'm strung to Geppetto
And I know he's not going to drop me x4
Like I'm strung to Geppettox2

[Verse 1: Darko]
I'm just your pottery
And it's crazy that your grace is in my arteries
I let it flow through the artistry
Patient so the music's timeless, we don't lose art
His pressure makes us diamonds so, we don't lose heart
[Chorus: Q-PON]
Day, by day
I know that I decay
But in His death there is life
Renewed in His light
To a hope, that will never fade
So we don't lose hear-ar art!
We don't lose hear-ar -art!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose heart!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose Heart!
[Verse 2: Darko]
Alright narrow lane the fastest route
I got a team with me in spirit living inside out
All these rappers talking crap, like they're mooning me
So we eclipse em with the Son's light they'll soon to be
Brought to life by his eulogy uh!
And it's news to me!
It's like the Lord baffled us
Predestined, cardiac arresting, you didn't raffle us
Faith, the surpassing trust
Through our idols yo You break my heart from idols yet you patch us up
His grace is so scandalous, He freely paid my crime,
He gave me His heart, repentance is the sign!
This love ain't blind yo, the sinner is, stupid!
So give me all of Jesus I don't have no need of cupid
[Chorus: Q-PON]
Day, by day
I know that I decay
But in His death there is life
Renewed in His light
To a hope, that will never fade
So we don't lose hear-ar art!
We don't lose hear-ar -art!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose heart!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose Heart!
[Verse 3: Darko]
Born again to a living hope, prepares for an eternal weight
There's perseverance in patience, so it's okay if eternal waits
Can't wait to smash those gates, wanna hear well done
Fine dining like it's home-cooked cuss we know their are eternal stakes(steaks)
Who hopes for what's seen?
We guaranteed the unscene
Can't movie read the script, waiting for the directors act on screen
Where victory kills death, from the day he gave his breath
On that mercy seat got grace when history ends is when we'll rest
(So we don't lose heart)
[Chorus 3: Q-Pon]
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
So don't lose heart! We don't lose Heart!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
We don't lose Heart!
We don't lose Heart!
We don't lose, We don't lose
We don't lose hea- hea- hea-hea-ar-art!
[Outro: Darko]
I'm just your pottery
And it's crazy that your grace is in my arteries
I let it flow through the artistry
Patient so the music's timeless, we don't lose art
His pressure makes us diamonds so, we don't lose heart

[Verse 1: Darko]
On point like a scatter plot
Inked in his hand, drawn in the sketchbook of life, see the pattern jot
Connect the dots of my walk, see the cannon shot, picture that
On the 5 Solas, but down to earth like an astronaut!
Walk out my faith cuss Christ run it
Scars on my body, hugging the cross that is rugged (Hell yes)
Darko, won't ever kick the bucket
In the valley of the shadow of death, add my pain I still sum-it (summit)
Beaten never broken
Got meaning but they say don't show it (Heaven's No)
Got joy in my grieving, living for this glory but at the same time I be dying to meet him
[Pre Chorus: Darko]
Sky walking, Hell Yes
Death beyond the grave yo Heaven's No
See what my eyes' seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
[Chorus: Darko]
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No
See what my eyes seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes or Heaven's No
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No (We tell em)
Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
Looking at the world past the telescope
[Verse 2: Darko]
Born a Hell raiser, now I'm bringing Heaven on earth
Ever since I've been hit with this new birth
And they ain't got to like me, ain't got to like me
We act out and do the right thing, I'm on my Spike Lee
New friends now, they were blind like me
Trampled pearls yo, they were swine like me
You're crazy, what did you find in me
I was sick, and you want and pumped blood in my IV
So why should I give up, dudes lost
So why give up, recognize yo, who's boss
So why give up, I'm just trying to build up
God always comes in crunch time, so dude sit up!
[Pre Chorus: Darko]
Sky walking, Hell Yes
Death beyond the grave yo Heaven's No
See what my eyes' seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
[Chorus: Darko]
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No
See what my eyes seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes or Heaven's No
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No (We tell em)
Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
Looking at the world past the telescope
[Bridge: Darko] - Romans 6: 1/3-6 (ESV)
"What shall we say then? How can we who died to sin still live in it?
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were been baptized into His death?
We were been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order tha just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."
[Pre Chorus: Darko]
Sky walking, Hell Yes
Death beyond the grave yo Heaven's No
See what my eyes' seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
[Chorus: Darko x2]
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No
See what my eyes seen, a world beyond the telescope
Tell em Hell Yes or Heaven's No
Hell Yes, Heaven's No
Heaven's No, Hell Yes, Heaven's No (We tell em)
Hell Yes, Or Heaven's No
Looking at the world past the telescope
