01 THE FORK IN THE ROAD
The Fork in the Road Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Where would I be… what would I be doing… who would’ve I became…
but I can’t look back… I have to keep going
I was so young and naive
Doing things, with my spirit light
having fun, making plans
With no thoughts, just living life
Had kids with different men
Before I everrr became a wife
and It meant nothing to me
Till the fruit started pruning
My kids didn’t know God
What spirit was I grooming?
what I was doing ?
I was so foolish
But Ignorance is bliss
Till you can smell what starts brewing
But then I seen a glimpse
Of the love I almost Missed
My God gave me a hint
That there is another bridge
At a fork in the road
My heart was growing cold
Than God made me a wife
And let His story be told
He knew I wouldn’t listen
So he gave a vision
I seen the end times
And got a choice for different fences,
And mansions, and roads
The ones made of pure gold
I had another chance but
I knew I had to be bold
So I studied his word
Guided by the dreams and visions
He showed me a world
With so much sin & great division
He showed me all my ways
I had to change the way I lived and
I saw that I was dying, spirit crying
BUT God is so forgiving
He Put the demons on my hit list
With a white dress that’s better fitting
He gave me parallel vision
I could see the devil’s bidding
I could see the lies I bought
And the whole that I was digging
My heart started getting heavy
And my knees started giving
At the fork in the road
When My heart was growing cold
Than God made me a wife
And let His story be known
But He knew I wouldn’t listen
So instead he gave a show
He showed me the end times
And gave me a choice for Gold
I’m talking bout the roads,
The mansions, and the fences
He showed me I was warm,
Full of doubt and apprehension
I straddled the fence for so long
Looked at life so wrong
Staring at the ground
But it didn’t take long
I knew I had to make a choice
Then I heard the faintest voice
It was soft and Full of light
And it quieted the noise
At that fork in the road
My heart stopped growing cold
I became a gentle wife
And echoed His story that I was told
See I began to listen
And in my fruit it showed
I changed how my time would end
Lord, I chose those Gold roads
I’m living for the mansions
I’m done straddling fences
I don’t want to be lukewarm
I killed the doubt and apprehension
I just want to Thank you Father
When I would’ve stopped, You took me farther
Now I’m walking out on the open water
You turned up the heat, made me soft,
The greatest potter
I’ve Cleaned my house,
Kicked out the unwanted guests
And the squatters

02 BATTLE CRY
Battle Cry Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Oh God, tell me where you are,
I’m in a dark tunnel and the light seems too far
The weight is getting heavy, my hands are so unsteady
It’s feeling like I’m drowning and they’re about to pull the levy
Do you see me father? Am I getting closer or am I farther?
Do you see my sins or do you see that I’m your daughter?
The anxiety attacks have been coming back to back
I been tryna push forward but the pressures causing crack
I’m way off track
Going nowhere fast
So I’m coming to you father
I’m waving my white flag,
And I’m throwing in the towel
I need you now more than ever, Lord please just tell me how
How I get your grace, and how do I get saved
I thought I was getting closer, did I go the wrong way
I’m On my knees asking why as I look up to the sky
Lord do you hear me do you hear my battle cry
I been crying every day, now I don’t know what to say
Lately I been speechless the devil out here creeping
I can’t seem to get a break, the stress has been so great
I don’t know how much more I can take
I feel like I’m about to break
I need you now more than ever, the devils getting clever
The whispers getting louder,
And I been feeling like whatever
I been tryna hold on, but these blisters getting painful
So I’m coming to you Lord heart shattered feeling shameful
waving my white flag,
And throwing in the towel
I need you now more than ever, Lord please just tell me how
How I get your grace, and how do I get saved
I thought I was getting closer, did I go the wrong way
I’m On my knees asking why as I look up to the sky
Lord do you hear me do you hear my battle cry

03 DEAR, GOD
Dear, God Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Dear God, I know my message is delayed
Prayers on pause and my tithes unpaid
Lost in the world, probably going the wrong way
Jumped Off the ship, now I’m drowning in the waves
My book been shut , and I lost my page
I’m sorry.. I’m sorry it’s been so long
I’m sorry I’ve been distant and knowing I know it’s wrong
You saved me from myself, delivered me from my vomit
I let you guide my steps but then I took over from the cockpit
I swear I’m trying to stop it
These sins I’m trying to crop it
I’m so sorry Lord
you know what I’m sorry for
this feels harder than before
the demons seem are talking more
Dear God, I think they came back stronger
been tryna find my way but I took a way longer
I’m talking to you now and I’m offering a praise
i repent to you father for my sins and my ways
I needed u then, now, and for the rest of my days
lord give me the strength to never shift my gaze
- eyes fixed on you so I don’t drown in the deep
opening my book so I can shepherd the sheep
Zechariah 11:7 to save those that’s sleep
the wage is to high and the lie is too cheap
I’m so sorry Lord
you know what I’m sorry for
this feels harder than before
the demons seem to stalk me more

04 A NEW CANVAS
A New Canvas Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:Lord, I need a new canvas,
[VERSE 1]
I’ve been in such a weird place
With my emotions so vast
I’m up and then I’m down
And it’s been happening so fast
So many battles that I’ve fought
They’ve worn me down to my core
So Why has it been so long
Since my knees hit the floor
When I know I need to pray
I Need my quiet place
I need to fall upon my face
I need you to win the race
It’s been Trial after trial
when is enough, enough?
How do I bear the fruit of long suffering
When the roots have been so tough?
I see my transformation
But I’ve been feeling crushed
Lord, i need a new canvas
You know our frame, you know we’re dust
Lord, why does this feel wrong
When I can see my blessings
But somehow, some way
I still find myself stressing
And Even tho I trust you
And Even tho I love you
And Even tho I know that it’s a lesson
But It’s been a steady pressure
With All pain and no pleasure
Too many tears I’ve cried
For me to see the true treasure
But I know I need to pray
I Need my quiet place
I need to fall upon my face
I need you to win the race
It’s been Trial after trial
when is enough, enough?
How do I bear the fruit of long suffering
When the roots have been so tough?
I see my transformation
But I’ve been feeling crushed
Lord, i need a new canvas
You know our frame, you know we’re dust
I don’t want to choose road that’s wide,
And I don’t want to be spit out
i don’t want to hear the words
the Bible said will soon come out
“Flee from me for I never knew you”
Because in my soul
I surely choose you
But I’m afraid the battle of my flesh
will cause me to surely lose you
Lord, I know I need to pray
My spirit needs my quiet place
So I’m falling upon my face
I trust you to win the race
It’s been Trial after trial
Now enough is enough
I’ll bear the fruit of long suffering
And water the roots that are tough
I’m still in the transformation
I’m done feeling crushed
Lord, you gave me a new canvas
Because You know our frame,
And you know we’re dust

05 I’M COMING TO YOU, FATHER
I’m Coming To You, Father Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Tell me How much stress
Am I supposed to take
Is this your will, Father
or is this just fate
I know it’s on your time
but it feels so late
I’m in my darkest hour, Lord
With the stress so great
The compass must be broken
Or I went the wrong way
I can only look up
And pray for a better day
I drop down to my knees
And lean on faith
Tell Me Father,
Tell me where the next turn is
Lead me to the water
Tell me is this what being a Fern is
I’m coming to your Father
Through it all I still have my faith
But I’m calling on your name
Tell me how am I supposed to get saved
I’ve been Battling depression
and fighting getting complacent
Maybe your signs and lessons are getting lost in translation
I’m so sorry for all the blessings
that I missed and went wasted
You brought me so close to success
it’s on my tongue, I can still taste it
With my head bowed
praying I can be saved
I’m Tryna move forward
But the road’s not paved
With Blisters on my feet
There’s pain in every step I take
Am I doing something wrong?
Father, I’m asking with no shame
At your feet I lay my burdens
And I’m calling your name
..Yahweh
Tell Me Father,
Tell me where the next turn is
Lead me to the water
Tell me is this what being a Fern is
I’m coming to your Father
Through it all I still have me faith
But I’m calling on your name
Tell me how am I supposed to get saved
I have so many questions, lord
And it’s on you that I’m waiting
All the stress piled up
got me depressed and feeling jaded
I try to keep my heart pure
and to never let the hate in
But I’m running outta hope
and I’m starting to lose patience
Tell me what to do next
Tell me what my next lane is
Father, I won’t ever fold
My truth is getting told
I swear I’m only a babe
But I’ve been feeling so old
I bear fruit from my labor
But it keeps growing mold
I’m coming to you lord
My Chest is out, I’m feeling bold
But please just Tell Me Father,
Tell me where the next turn is
I know you’ll Lead me to the water
I know this is what being a Fern is
I’m coming to your Father
And I’ll always keep my faith
But hear me calling on your name
And Tell me how to be saved

Greatest Potter, Divine Refiner Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:Your the Greatest Potter, your Our Divine Refiner …
[VERSE 1]
He saved me from the deep
I was lost and I was drowning

He began working on my spirit
And removed the darkness from around me

In his hand, we’re just His clay
He’ll forge us in the fire
He’ll never throw us away
Reshape us into new jars

Father, put me on the stand
I’ll confess in front of crowds
I want to see the promised land

You mold us like a potter
When you see us growing cold
You refine us in the fire

Father, make me a new creation

You’re my Barrier like the sand
Im testifying to your greatness

07 I CALL ON YOUR NAME
I Call On Your Name Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I rise up like Moses, bush flame in my sight,
Got a call from the Yahweh, no fear in the fight.
He said, “I AM,” so I step with authority,
Every breath I take, a part of His eternity.
Elohim in the heavens, mighty power He reigns,
Crafted earth and the skies, yeah, He built all the plains.
He’s the master, Adonai, no limits, no chains,
When I’m lost in the storm, He’s the one that sustains.
He’s Jehovah Jireh, He provides for the need,
In the valley of drought, He’s the one sowing seeds.
He’s Jehovah Rapha, when I’m broken, He heals,
In the wounds of my soul, yeah, His love I can feel.
He’s El Shaddai, mighty, no end to His reign,
When the world’s crashing down, I still call on His name.
Banner high, I stand tall with Jehovah Nissi,
In the battle, He fights, never losing, believe me.
When the peace seems to fade, the chaos runs deep,
It’s Jehovah Shalom, brings the calm while I sleep.
He’s my refuge, my rock, Jehovah Tsidkenu,
Righteousness flows from the throne, He’s guiding me through.
With the hosts by His side, Sabaoth at command,
He’s the Lord of the armies, all the forces in hand.
He’s Jehovah Jireh, He provides for the need,
In the valley of drought, He’s the one sowing seeds.
He’s Jehovah Rapha, when I’m broken, He heals,
In the wounds of my soul, yeah, His love I can feel.
He’s El Shaddai, mighty, no end to His reign,
When the world’s crashing down, I still call on His name.
He’s the El Elyon, the Most High above,
Every knee’s gonna bow to the King of pure love.
Call Him Abba, that Father who’s closer than close,
In His arms I find peace, that’s the place I know most.
No fear in the dark, when His light is my guide,
Every name that He’s given, it’s where I reside.
From the throne to the streets, I’m proclaiming His fame,
Every verse in my heart speaks the power of His name.

08 THE PSALM SONG
The Psalm Song Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Heavenly Father, I come to you humbly to lift praise…
Holy Spirit come into this space with me.. and bless those that hear
Dear Father, please accept this praise
I want to thank you for the blessings, and waking me up today
I want to thank you for the daylight, and the air I breathe
I want to thank you for the ability, to drop down to my knees
As I sing this prayer, I’m so full of praise
I want to thank you for your my savior
And saving me from my ways
I know I’m unworthy, there’s no one perfect,
But you made sure we’re worthy,
And deemed us as worth it,
Even after the gold Taurus
He walked perfect and bold for us
They say you just appeared
But you were there since the Torah
That’s why I’m lifting this praise
Turned it into a psalm
I’m singing for your glory, Lord
Pouring out my faith through this blessed [BLESS-ID] song
You never left me, forgot me, or forsaken
You showed me you were here even when my faith was shaken
Psalm 95:6 · Psalm 150:6 · Romans 3:23 · Exodus 32:4 · John 1:1–3 · John 1:14 · Deuteronomy 31:6 · Hebrews 13:5 · Psalm 40:3
01 Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly Imperfect Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
What if I said I wasn’t perfect
What if I said life is hard
What if I said all these songs in my phone were from the hardest parts
What if I said that I sin
What if I said that I fall
What if I said that sometimes
It feels to hard to pick up my cross
Nobody is perfect
We’re in the jungle
Dying is hard
We’re all in the struggle
But God is so patient
His words like a cadence
He won’t give you meat first
He reveals it in stages
He won’t let you run from sin
He will make you repent after you face it
All my questions to God
All my prayers cried out
I’ve tried to rip the sin from the root
And let it all dry out
I’ve been trying to find the water
And make sure the flames don’t die out
But this is a testimony of flesh
It will fail every test
But God is a forgiving God
He will pour over you with oil that’s fresh
But please remember
Nobody is perfect
We’re in the jungle
Dying is hard
We’re all in the struggle
But God is so patient
His words like a cadence
He won’t give you meat first
He reveals it in stages
He won’t let you run from sin
He will make you repent after you face it
I’m unworthy of our father…
Unworthy of his water
Unworthy of Grace,
Unworthy of his face
But God is so goooood, he still made me his daughter
So when I fall, I get up again
And when I lay out naked
Lord sends a Shem
Or covers me with His hem
It’s not about perfection
That thought is the weapon
He forges us in fire
While he prepares Armageddon
He gives us His water, and favors us with bread that’s blessed and unleavened.
So lay your burdens at his feet
Go and fall upon your face
Read Mark chapter 6
Inside your quiet place
Pray before you read
And Invite the Holy Spirit
Quote scriptures in your prayer
For the blessings we inherit
He will surely hear it
It was the promise that he made
On the cross our sins laid
As he bore all our wage
Because
Nobody is perfect
We’re in the jungle
Dying is hard
We’re all in the struggle
But God is so patient
His words like a cadence
He won’t give you meat first
He reveals it in stages
He won’t let you run from sin
He will make you repent after you face it

02 Against The Wall
Against The Wall Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Why do I feel empty
Why am I always searching
It’s like I’m on a stage
But I’m standing behind the curtains
I feel like I should be happy
But instead I’m steady hurting
I want to be faithful
But these demons keep flirting
Is it my heart
Tell me God, is something wrong
Is it my mind
Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong
I just want to touch your hem
Lord put me in your palms
It’s like the darkness won’t lift
I can’t stay focused
And my gaze starts to shift
Please accept this as my prayer
I’ve been trying to resist
But the demons keep talking
And they’re trying to rob me of my gifts
I feel my back against a wall
And I’m in pure darkness
Do I have the wrong number
Lord, it’s you that I’m calling
I haven’t said a prayer
But you’ve still been on my call list
I’m coming to you weeping
I’m done whispering and talking
My spirit is feeling heavy
my vision unsteady
My knees are feeling weak
And my legs feel like spaghetti
I’m ready for a better season
Lord, I swear to you I’m ready
I know we’re supposed to forgive
But you said nothing about forgetting
I swear
It feel like my backs against the wall
And I’m in pure darkness
Do I have the wrong number
Lord, it’s on you that I’m calling
I haven’t said a prayer
But you’ve still been on my call list
I’m coming to you weeping
I’m done whispering and talking

03 New Skin
New Skin Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
God gave me a new canvas
One that I can’t damage
One that’s only for my Lament
I paint a picture so clear
The pain still feels near
From my season of great famine
But I still have scars
The light seems far
The beauty of the sky
& all of your stars
So what am I to do
I’m calling on you
To make my skin new
I said I need a new skin
Father, Hebrews 10
Because of him in John 10, 10
Lord, heal all my scars
Why do you feel far
What season am I in
Lord, I can’t see the stars
These lessons you’ve been teaching
Me
I see you’re trying to season me
Tell me abba is that the reasoning
It’s like their love went cold
When I got bold
And now they’re not seeing me!
Ooooooh abba
I need a new skin
Set me apart, Hebrews 10
And keep me safe from John 10!
Lord, heal all my scars
Stop teaching from a far
I don’t know the season
Lord, I can’t see the stars
It’s so lonely here, Lord
My knees hit the floor
I answered the door
For He who died
And for He who bore
All of our sins
So that we can win
And go and sin nomooooore!
Ooooooh I’m coming to you abba
Because I need a new skin
I been reading Hebrews 10
And the book of John 10!
Lord, heal all my scars
Cast the demons far
You are my potter
Father, make me a new jar

04 Set Aside
Set Aside Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
One day I had a vision of a world with great division
Once he showed me that depiction
I knew he was giving me the decision
Been Strattling a fence that I didn’t know existed
but he showed me the devils work and how he allows him to go fishing
Not too hot not too cold letting the devil do his bidding
from tarot cards to stones see the vision started fitting
I had to set myself aside
THE WORLDs the devils bride
He said the true path is narrow
I was on 1 way too wide
That’s why its Mother Nature
see the devil is a lie
God is the creator
The Creator is a Guy
My soul got saved in April of 23
God made sure there wasn’t a fool made of me
Disconnecting from what I knew Because he showed me what was true
That year I lost a lot but still had so much more too lose
My soul hanging in a balance but I wanted Gods Palace
Gold roads and Gold Houses and it started with Damascus
I was blind but then I saw How Yah did Paul
My heart got replaced Im giving God all the applaud
He showed me the beast that rose
When he seen me growing cold
He gave me dreams and visions and how it all unfolds
I had to set myself aside
THE WORLDs the devils bride
He said the true path is narrow
I was on 1 way too wide
That’s why its Mother Nature
see the devil is a lie
God is the creator
The Creator is a Guy
YOLO is a lie , you only DIE once
but the devil been working while we busy making lunch
don’t let fly too high
Im praying that you catch it
the second death is on us see the devil been too complacent
sewing lies inside the the truth
its so close we usually miss it
God cast them too earth we been living in his picnic
I had to set myself aside
THE WORLDs the devils bride
He said the true path is narrow
I was on 1 way too wide
That’s why its Mother Nature
see the devil is a lie
God is the creator
The Creator is a Guy

05 By His Design
By His Design Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Holy spirit come,
I invite you to my pen
Your words are my commands
My reply is simply when
I feel like Jona in the belly
I feel like Daniel in the den
I feel like little David when he was running from his men
You showed us size doesn’t matter
And strength comes from the spirit
Curses are generational
But it’s blessings that we inherit
I know why our roots erased
Our lineage without a trace
we need grit and motivation
Not pride or ego in the race
How quickly we’d feel entitled
And we’d make the same mistakes
The same mistakes as our elders
But Heaven is like a smelter
You don’t need a Levite or a lineage
You need a bloodline filled with welders
Mending a broken world
Like how he made us white as snow
Welding the truth to our hearts
So that it never lets us go
Because the world is in a new age
Where sin and lies are being sold
I know why our roots erased
Our lineage without a trace
we need grit and motivation
Not pride or ego in the race
How quickly we’d feel entitled
And we’d make the same mistakes
We must stay quick on our toes
Quick to fall to our knees
Quick to get in your word
And be Slow to speak
That’s the only way to defeat
Not from our strength
Not from our pearls
Stronger is he who is in me
Than he who is in this world
I know why our roots erased
Our lineage without a trace
we need grit and motivation
Not pride or ego in the race
How quickly we’d feel entitled
And we’d make the same mistakes
One man took the stand
The charge was generational
Convicted for a crime
He paid the price
He was so intentional
“It is finished” was his word
He is The great physician
That’s why he’s Not a nurse
He didn’t tend to our sin
He convicted then broke curses
On a cross laid our wage
Yeshua was his name
And he Defeated every spirit
With no crystal and no sage
That’s the danger of New Age
From the Bible they took pages
The world is their stage
And the truth is what they replace
I know why our roots erased
Our lineage without a trace
we need grit and motivation
Not pride or ego in the race
How quickly we’d feel entitled
And we’d make the same mistakes

06 It’s Not Too Late
It’s Not Too Late Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Was it just a crazy dream
What does it all mean
So I dropped down to my knees
and prayed for Him to reveal
The stories that are fake and the stories that are real
Because I was always spiritual
But who was this God that would kill
I was in the book of Genesis
Just trying to figure it out
I met the jealous God of the Torah
That used loud thunder to shout
But when I went to sleep
When my spirit was most meek
He turned down the heat
And gave me a glimpse of the second beast
The message was it’s not too laaate
Even tho I took the baaait
My God wears a white cape
And He wore it to the graaaaave
Hot iron
He is The great refiner
Covering our hearts
He is the great designer
It’s never too late
That’s the message to remember
He will always waait
He’s the vine, we are tethered
Under his wings
He covers us with his feathers
He threw me into revelations
To give me a choice
I read the Bible backwards
And that’s how I learned his voice
He showed me the great decision
Through a split world vision
He revealed what was real
Without creating fear or tension
He showed me the wide road
Before he let his story be told
He guided me on my journey
And gave me the courage to be bold
You don’t have to be scared
Because he gave us a choice for gold
The message was it’s not too late
Even tho I took the bait
My God wears a white cape
And He wore it to the grave
Hot iron
He is The great refiner
Covering our hearts
He is the great designer
It’s never too late
That’s the message to remember
He will always waait
He’s the vine, we are tethered
Under his wings
He covers us with his feathers
I asked.. and he answered..
Just like his promise

07 Pelican
Pelican Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
It was 4am, in my bed , Fast asleep
With a father so patient
He waits before he’s speaks
It wasn’t the sound
It was the word that had my interest peaked
The first encounter in a while that didn’t involve the sheep
A word so simple
A bird so random
It was 4 in the morning
And appeared to be a phantom
Pelicannnnn,
with a neck so long
I had to figure it out
Until I found the perfect Psalm
You’d sacrifice your own heart
For your blood to be drawn
All my beautiful nightmares
That arrive at dawn
This was so different
It didn’t come as a dream or vision
This wasn’t a call to follow
Or a call to change my living
This was a declaration
He showed me who he was
He didn’t show me a lamb,
A lion, or a dove
He shouted out
Pelicannnnn, with a neck so long
I had to figure it out
Until I found the perfect Psalm
You’d sacrifice your own heart
For your blood to be drawn
All my beautiful nightmares
That arrive exactly at dawn
It’s not the creature that’s the story
This is all for his glory
I held it in so long
But I’m testifying through my songs
My beautiful
Pelicannnnn, with a neck so long
I had to figure it out
Until I found the perfect Psalm
You’d sacrifice your own heart
For your blood to be drawn
All my beautiful nightmares
That arrive exactly at dawn
It’s Psalm chapter 102 verse 6
A name Id never forget
A name I never knew
The Pelican in the wilderness
Psalm 102:6 · John 1:29 · Revelation 5:5 · Matthew 3:16 · Revelation 12:11
08 Bear Witness
Bear Witness Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:I’m bearing witness to your greatness, Lord
There was a simple tattoo
With a message there’s still time
There was city on fire
A flood, And a bloodline
The beautiful depiction of
A Random bird
From the dreams I’ve seen
And the words I’ve heard
He put the demons on my hitlist
Made me his witness
All my prayers received
And he’s been honoring my wishlist
I used to not believe
The crucifixion I doubted
But now I’m singing to the heavens
Tryna make heaven crowded
This is my testimony
He made it sound like poetry
I went down dark paths
He didn’t have to go with me
But he’s not a liar
The promise of the potter
The divine refiner
That sets hearts on fire
The beautiful depiction of
A Random bird
From the dreams I’ve seen
To the visions I’ve heard
He put the demons on my hitlist
Made me his witness
All my prayers are received
And he’s been honoring my wishlist
You don’t have to feel jaded
Don’t let the hate in
Drop down to your knees and
Become a witness to his greatness
Acts 1:8 · Revelation 12:11 · Hebrews 6:18 · Jeremiah 18:1–6 · Malachi 3:2–3 · Psalm 66:16 · Matthew 28:19–20
01 The Cover
The Cover Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I was getting what I want
Never down in my luck
The blessings weren’t sparse
I always had more than enough
Living life the way I chose
No attention to the road
I didn’t care if it was wide
I would often travel both
I knew i was a sinner
I just thought that’s how it goes
I would wear the cross around my neck
With no knowledge of the one that rose
I never considered God my father
I considered him a bro
I thought I was blessed by the most high
But I didn’t know what I didn’t know
See the Devil blesses too
That’s how he keeps the lost confused
You think your highly favored
When Gods patience gets abused
Look at the tree of Good and evil
Which decision would you choose
Would you live your life in darkness
Or follow the way the life the truth
Everyone’s looking for the horns
They’re not looking for a suit
They’re looking for something scary
But Satan was the most beautiful
I’m not here to judge
You see the devil had me too
I thought I was living my life for me
But I was already being used
Now I’m looking for the heel
I left the head that’s getting bruised
I study to show myself approved
And repent like the Word tells us to do
See god is so forgiving
My faith was dead but now it’s living
Instead of leaving me to die
He woke me up with a decision
He showed me the great division
And all the devils bidding
That’s why I stand up bold with my chest out
And stay calm when I’m contended
You don’t gotta tell me how life is hard
Because I’m a human and I’m in it
When you fall you get back up
Pick up ya cross and re begin it
Matthew 7:13–14 · Genesis 2:16–17 · Genesis 3:1–15 · John 14:6 · 2 Corinthians 11:14 · 2 Timothy 2:15 · James 2:17 · Luke 9:23
02 The One
The One Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I been in my head too much lately
My spirit been feeling numb
In a weird twist of fate it feels like a rabbit has a gun
I been trying to break from it feels like my spirit is on the run
God I’m calling on your promise to leave the 99 for the one
Body heavy, mind racing, even writing feels too hard
It’s like I’m in the driver seat but someone else controls the car
I try to read my Bible but the words just seem so far
It’s like I’m trying to stretch my spirit
But I’ve been bind up in a jar
So I’m rebuking all witchcraft, root work, and any spell
Blind the eyes of any watchers, close the mouths that watch and tell
Confuse the tongues of the enemy
Or anyone wishing me unwell
Today I’m picking up my cross
And putting out a sign I’m not for sell
Cover me with your blood, lord come refresh my spirit
Im rebuking all the evil with the power we inherit
I’m on my knees crying out because when we weep I know you hear it
And even tho I can’t see the midst I feel the water and know I’m near it
Lord come and break these chains
I been free since 23
I’m calling on you father I hear the demons gnawing threw their teeth
But I know they can’t have me I been made free in the deed
And who the father sets free is set free indeed
Come reclaim your child
Come and relight my inner fire
Come in feel my cup
I been dehydrated and feeling tired
See the whispers in my ear I don’t believe em
Because I know that he’s a liar
I’m opening my book
I invite you to this room
Lord, come give me the strength
I need the bride and the groom
You know my spirits sensitive
I can feel the coming doom
Come and clear out my house
I’m cleaning up, I got the broom
So I’m rebuking all witchcraft, root work, and any spell
Blind the eyes of any watchers, close the mouths that watch and tell
Confuse the tongues of the enemy
Or anyone wishing me unwell
Today I’m picking up my cross
And putting out a sign I’m not for sell
Cover me with your blood, lord come refresh my spirit
Im rebuking all the evil with the power we inherit
I’m on my knees crying out because when we weep I know you hear it
And even tho I can’t see the midst I feel the water and know I’m near it

03 Can Never Judge
Can Never Judge Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
See this why I can never judge, the pressure be too much
The sins my flesh commit keeps me grounded with pure love
See this life we live is tough and I know I’m not enough
I’m only worthy of the father through the one who sits above
Thoughts run through my mind so fast my body can’t keep up
And when I finally break through it more thoughts try to sneak up
The bills are steady coming and there’s pressure to speak up
I been drowning in my head so when they call I can’t pick up
See this why I can never judge, the pressure be too much
The sins my flesh commit keeps me grounded with pure love
See this life we live is tough and I know I’m not enough
I’m only worthy of the father through the one who sits above
And I know I beat depression but my minds a deadly weapon
I can never have a passion because it turns to obsession
Got me reading through my journal so that I can see the lesson
This been a battle of my flesh, it’s not God I gotta question
I been here times before when my knees won’t hit the floor
Paralyzed in bed and I won’t answer the door
I know that he’s been waiting that’s why it hurts me to the core
I don’t gotta carry this alone but my flesh been winning more
See this why I can never judge, the pressure be too much
The sins my flesh commit keeps me grounded with pure love
See this life we live is tough and I know I’m not enough
I’m only worthy of the father through the one who sits above

04 He Stored Me
He Stored Me Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Growing up without a father
in a city on fire
I didn’t learn about the Father
Or the penny’s and the potter
Instead I learned selling drugs a take you further
and being soft and forgiving will only hurt you
Honor roll student and i still dropped out
I didn’t know how to fight all the whispers of the doubt
I didn’t know I had a father I didn’t what He’s about
I grew up in a city driven off money and clout
This isn’t just my story, this is why I give Him His glory
Because When I was broken he adored me
And When I wasn’t for him, He was still for me
He stored me… He stored me
I was going through life free stylin
I was young I was reckless I was wild’n
And My ways they left me crying
I was lost and confused but I was never hiding
But I wasn’t too lost for Him to find me
See I’m not independent, He signed me
Now I’m covered in the blood and it’s only He who co signs me
He gave me my sight, I was walking blindly
This isn’t just my story, this is why I give Him His glory
Because When I was broken he adored me
And When I wasn’t for him, He was still all for me
He stored me… He stored me
A city on fire
So many lost souls
But he wrote a book
About how it all unfolds
And he Rose… he Rose
This isn’t just my story, this is living proof of His glory
Even When I was still broken He adored me
I was never for him, yet He was always for me
He stored me… He stored me

05 Cold World
Cold World Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I never told em I was sad
I never told em I was tired
I never mourned what I once had
Or even chased what I desired
Instead I bottled it all up
Poured them the last from out my cup
Go inside my shower and cry with my eyes shut
I wouldn’t speak on it
I always thought that would give it power
I would stare at the clock waiting for it to change the hour
I never told them how I felt
I would only let it out when I showered
Because we live in a cold world that’ll watch you die before given you your flowers
It’s a cold cold world
There’s so much they’ll sell out for
They’ll sell out for the fame, abuse your name, and sell you fake diamonds and pearls
I never told em I was sad
I never told em I was tired
I never mourned what I once had
I never chased what I desired
Instead I bottled it all up
Poured them the last from out my cup
Go inside my shower and cry with my eyes shut
No one ever seen me crying and they never noticed when I was trying
Its always a good time when I’m around
Even when I was drowning and dying
they never seen what was inside me
They never seen what I was hiding
They never look me in my eyes and seen all the pain they let my smile blind them
It’s a cold cold world
There’s so much they’ll sell out for
They’ll sell out for the fame, abuse your name, and sell you fake diamonds and pearls
I never told em I was sad
I never told em I was tired
I never mourned what I once had
I never chased what I desired
Instead I bottled it all up
Poured them the last from out my cup
Go inside my shower and cry with my eyes shut
It’s a cold cold world
There’s so much they’ll sell out for
They’ll sell out for the fame, abuse your name, and sell you fake diamonds and pearls
I never told em I was sad
I never told em I was tired
I never mourned what I once had
Or even chased what I desired
Instead I bottled it all up
Poured them the last from out my cup
Go inside my shower and cry with my eyes shut

06 Further & Farther
Further & Farther Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I fall then get back up, I turn my flesh into a martyr
But once I fall again my legs are tired and it’s harder
See each time that I fall
I pick back up my cross and travel further
—and farther
I might lose projection but I never switch direction
His blood is my protection and the spirit gives correction
I have no fear, worry, or guessing
I prayer over every lesson
I drop down to my knees and repent with my confessions
But The world is so wicked
And My mind is so loud
Yet God will still show up when I start waving the white towel
He waits for me to get it
He waits for me to stop asking him how
He waits for me to let go and let God
He waits for times like now
I fall then get back up, I turn my flesh into a martyr
But once I fall again my legs are tired and it’s harder
See each time that I fall
I pick back up my cross and travel further
—and farther
God only convicts
He’s the potter not a carver
It’s the serpent that condemns
But Gods the greatest gardener
He tends to those that are sick
He takes them further —and farther
The world is so wicked
My mind is loud
But God always shows up when I start waving the white towel
He waits for me to get it
He waits for me to stop asking him how
He waits for me let go and let God
He waits for times like right now
I fall and then get back up
I turn my flesh into a martyr
But once I fall again my legs are tired and it’s harder
See each time that I fall I pick back up my cross and travel further
—and farther
I kill my flesh daily, it’s my flesh that is the martyr

07 YHWH
YHWH Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
I confess from my lips, I don’t need a bigger clip
My protections from God not from the iron on my hip
Covered by the blood when I went and got dipped
The same protection from that whale, that den, and that ship
See He will never leave me, I am his kin
He covers my heart, my eyes, and my sin
No matter where I am in the valley or the den
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
See He is the Truth the life and the way
I don’t care what they say
Because He shows me every day
And even when I’m lost he shows me the way
It’s not my way, it’s his
Yahwehhh
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
He is my refuge, my banner, my God
The Big G-O-D
The only one for job
The one I go to when I repent and I sob
I don’t need a sacrifice I only need my faith
I only need to repent and recieve his grace
I wasn’t saved once I’m always being saved
I pick up cross and kill my flesh everyday
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
See He is the Truth the life and the way
I don’t care what they say
Because He shows me every day
And even when I’m lost he shows me the way
It’s not my way, it’s his
Yahwehhh
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa
I confess from my lips, I don’t need a bigger clip
My protections from God not from the iron on my hip
Covered by the blood when I went and got dipped
The same protection from that whale, that den, and that ship
Da-duh da-duh da-duh da-duh daaaa daaaa daaaa

08 Did I
Did I Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Did I just get too comfortable??
Did I just close my eyes too long..
Are you still in the room with me??
Or did you just leave me all alone..
The attack is so heavy
My chest is so tight
I’ve been worn out for weeks before they threw me in the fight
They gave me entertainment so I didn’t have my sight
Through off all my patterns I been up all night every night
In a matter of a second the floor dropped beneath my feet
They didn’t push me to the edge
They pushed me to disbelief
But I won’t accept this as defeat
Instead I’ll fall down to my knees
Scream to the highest heavens with these tears falling down my cheek
Because I know your not done with me
The devil just had fun with me
But I know you’re the one that’s one with me
ABBA please tell me you’re not done with me
Did I just get too comfortable??
Did I just close my eyes too long..
Are you still in the room with me??
Or did you just leave me all alone..
I don’t know what i should do
I don’t know when I should turn
I don’t know where I am at
Tell me what I didn’t learn
The voices been too loud
Man this road just been too dark
No one else can drive the car
Because the car wouldn’t shift from park
I been stuck
Yea I been stuck
And the weight up on my shoulders been too much
Please tell me your not done with me
Tell me The devil just had fun with me
But I know you’re the one that’s one with me
ABBA please tell me you’re not done with me
Did I just get too comfortable??
Did I just close my eyes too long..
Are you still in the room with me??
Or did you just leave me all alone..

09 Better
Better Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
Tomorrow will be better
Today was just whatever
This is the cost of getting lost but having faith inside the lever
I’m stuck inside my bed
I’m stuck inside my head
My spirits so weak that it can’t even move a feather
But I got the seed so it should move but I need it to change the weather
I need tomorrow to be better
I need a better day
I need to sit and pray
I gotta get up out my bed
I got tithes I need to pay
Because the debts already paid
But I need to be better clay
I need to listen God
I need to hear what you’re trying to say
Today was way to hard
I had to cry inside my car
The rain was coming down
And my destination seemed too far
I need to lay down in the grass
And look up to watch the stars
My will has been too weak
And my prayers have been to sparse
I need a better day
I need to sit and pray
I gotta get up out my bed
I got tithes I need to pay
Because the debts already paid
But I need to be better clay
I need to listen God
I need to hear what you’re trying to say

10 True Story (Outro)
True Story (Outro) Lyrics — A. Monét
MY WORDS:
I woke up early in the morning
From a super weird dream
So I went and told my husband And his response was “what you mean?” then he sat back, he had to think
He said “that’s the mark of the beast”
I looked at him confused as I sat in disbelief
I told em “babe, you lying, tell me which scripture, I need to see”
he said “nah, I’m so serious, it’s in revelation 13”
So I red it and I sat
it really depicted what I’ve seen
so in shock I prayed to God told him I’ll let him take the lead.
That’s how I read the Bible backwards
God was in the driver seat.
I would dream and then wake up, that’s how He showed me what to read
From there my faith grew
But I was new,
and I didn’t know what to do.
I was a sinner in the world
I just had an abortion too
But God said so what
this isn’t luck
you are the daughter that I choose. You already lost a lot
but still got your soul to lose.
Then I read about the heel and the head that it’ll bruise
and with the faith of a mustard seed its mountains you can move.
So I looked up, I said “ok, God, then this what ima do
ima kill my flesh daily and study to show approved”
3 months later
it was greater, I let em dip me in that water.
Then I turned 30
got delivered, but then God He pushed me further
I found out I was pregnant
I was scared,
I wasn’t pretending.
I said Lord, “ima trust you”
even with my mind up in a frenzy
So I rolled with it and we struggled but to God I didn’t contend it
See my husband didn’t have a job
But I knew God had His hand in it
He started work
When I gave birth
All blessing
There was no planning it
Only goals and faith
And see God just kept expanding it
But let’s go back to my deliverance
it was the craziest thing I’ve seen
There was a demon in a woman
and through her mouth it tried to speak
her eyes were all black
It tried to attack
it was fighting with their team.
They were trying to bind it up but that demon wouldn’t flee
Then they started binding witchcraft
then I started to dry heave
I was coughing — throat itchy
they had to come give me a sleeve
But I must’ve blacked out
Because I don’t remember a thing
It was on the drive home they told me they delivered me
It all felt like a dream
I can still hear all the screams
See this is a true story
it all went down in 23
When I knew I wasn’t worthy
but God made a Child out of Me
Now let’s rewind the hand of time
When It was dark
and I was lost
And was on the path that’s way to wide
I lost grandma, he lost his uncle
And in between I took pill
See this pill was meant to kill
The beautiful blessing he tried to instill
But I was so numb, and I was so stressed
From all the pressure I couldn’t feel
I sat in a car and I just cried
I used to write when I was tired
I coulda turned into a demon
But see that’s not how He has me wired
In this story is only snippet I never spoke on everything prior
I can write a book about my life
But the world would just call me a liar
They would never believe how God
Took me through that fire
He stripped me of all my wants
Until it was only Him that I desired
Then He showed me all His grace
And how the rest of story transpires
Now I’m blessed
I know that I’m kept
That’s why I praise Him with every breath
And I know that he’s still with me
Even when I know my house isn’t swept
But I believe
And I see
I’m speaking of the paid debt
When he looked up and said it’s finished
And Mary and John just wept
See I can going but I’m going to stop
Because there’s not a point to prove left
