Written by: Only Won

Well it's time you see for G.O.D. and me

With a smooth flow like taichi, Only Won is who I be

I stand out cuz I'm different it's plain you see

I'm not black but at least I'm still darker than a lot of MC's

Also known as TAI JEW, YING MUN sounds like tai chiu

Flipplin' scripts in Chinglish so you'll have to hold onto yo pews.

YUNG JUNG YING MUN GNOH HO YEE GONG SAI BAY NAY TENG

YEH SO HUY SUN, huh!…NAY MM SUY BOK MENG.

But I can't use Mandarin cuz WO JENG GUONG DONG HUA

And being ABC, GNOH JUNG MUN HO MA MA.(no pause)

You see 1 John SAY BOT says, SUN HUY GNOY

And 1 Chronicles SUP MM SUP LOK says to raise in sounds of joy.

And joy I've got, cuz YEH SO'S in my life

The key in me to endure hardships….much hardships and strife.

See I've been flipplin' this for God since 1991

So make room for Only Won and listen…cuz I've just begun

 

Glory

John 8:50 - I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

Here we go round to the downtown movin' on to

uptown breakin' nouns triple H-bound sound.

Screamin' to make a difference and a light in this world.

showin' hope to all the little tiny boyz and the girlz.

Giving love, giving hugs to the thugs in their lugz

Fists be poppin' on their dockin' while they be throwin' down their drugs.

So check out this pop! This Glory won't stop!

The only thing I inhale is Holy Hip Hop! I give

props to the Pops not the cops or the jocks.

Father Mockers better drop so listen now to how we rock.

This world's outa control & people have no goals

cept to make that paper paper, we have no morals in our souls.

In Hell people scream, "It's getting hot in here"

but you won't see any girls dancing in their underwear.

Or murdered babies, the meek, poor in spirit, righteous couples.

Inherit the kingdom of God , cuz with God there's no prenuptuals

Focus on what I'm sayin', here's my divine revelation.

I'm a sinner but I'm saved, ready to live in His Nation!

 

(Hook)
NAY HO YEE CHERNG SUW GOH WHAT JEH WAN HA blues,

but look what my God can do.

GNOH MUY YUT GE SUN WOOT DOE HAI WAI JOH WING YEEW KUY

giving glory to you.

GNOH MM PAH HUY GONG TOONG MAI JOONG JON KUY.

I just wanna honor you.

LAY HO LEK WAN YEE GOH SUY GUY GE game

but What can this world do for you?

 

Who am I? Only Won. Saved by the son.

May just be one, but I've only just begun.

Haven't lost but I've won. The devil's got none.

Over me or anyone that be saved by the Son.

FOO MO GEW GHOH BO-WING so that I can HEEN WING

Protecting the glory so the glory I be giving. To make you

ponder, use your mind to try to construde this.

watch my back cuz I don't wanna be a friend like Judas.

So don't be like the finger that be pointing at the moon see (Sample, “enter the dragon)

or you will be distracted and miss all that heavenly glory

from my head down to my feet, from every joint & ball & socket (high pitched)

Glory be to "G" cuz this is how we rock it. (delayed)

Houston Rockets. I kicked it with Yao Ming in 97 Thanks to my

best friend, D. I pray I see you up in heaven.

Hope you can see why I live and do the things that I do.

Be true to me and you and the folks that we all knew.

Destined to protect the King of hearts while the devil be the Joker.

Huh...My life was meant to be more than mediocre.

 

(Hook)
GNOH GUM JEH SUN for all my trials & my tribulations, so I can

relate to the hurts from people of all nations. Took the

bad & made it good, never thought that He could.

Never thought that He would and never thought that He should.

I can see clearly now, the PAIN

is gone………. Where did we go

all wrong? Why do we sing sad songs? Go through

times of despair and cry all night long?

I met this guy the other night, his name was Alonzo

sitting on a bench had no job and had no home

Asked me for some change so he can go to Micky D's

So I took him w/ me, and he couldn't believe.

Someone so free could have faith in the three. And want to

share his belief with someone so lowly???

Naw man, you ain't low, you be the one that bless-ed me.

with your humble self and your faith in JC.

All I can say is that I hope that I gave God glory.

Check your life, keep it real, case & point, End of story….story…story…

Genesis 1:1In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

(Hook)
See I be that lyrical Engineer

Only the technically minded will know what I'm talkin' about here (2x)

 

6am gotta get outa bed

got this funny feeling comin' straight out my head

Waiting for the alarm, ready to start a new day

But it's tough cuz I was up all night on Ebay

and playing video games, you know I hooked up my Atari.

to the surround sound system and HDTV

*beepbeepbeep* oh that be my palm pilot

don't tell me I can't see it cuz I got small eyelets

Gotta put on my glasses, been wearing them since six

can barely see my kicks, thinkin' about getting lasix

so I can see my degree, got my bachelors in ME

took the EIT, now I'm a licenced PE

Kickin it w/ EE's & CE's at NEC and HP

I'm the Overachieving Geek...AKA the OG!

 

(Hook)
See I be that lyrical Engineer

Only the technically minded will know what I'm talkin' about here

 

It doesn't matter how you look or the clothes that you wear

All that it matters is that you're technically aware

See I be that lyrical Engineer

"Fluid dynamics, quantum physics”

See I be that lyrical Engineer

"Electrical circuits, Thermodynamics"

 

Gotta make that commute to the Silicon valley

Took a detour so had to use my Rand McNally

but I had it on my laptop hooked to the GPS

Don't need commuter stress, gotta swerve with finesse

Bluetooth headset on so I can drive with both hands

Gotta hurry to the office, got wires to land

Red stapler in office in my 6x6 cubicle

Office space and Dilbert be my American Idol

Leaning to the side in my Lincoln Navigator

moving much faster than a particle accelerator

SLAM! I feel like atoms being collided

With holy hip hop, you gotta bump it when you ride it

Oh wait, got no gator, Got the VehiCROSS concept

An engineering marvel you best not take a wrong step

I got Torque on Demand with cutting edge propulsion

Standard with a computer controlled variable induction

Hittin' the beats...man, only God can engineer this

you better turn this up in case you can't hear this

All that it matters is that you're technically aware

See I be that lyrical Engineer

"Mechanics of materials, Robotics statics”

See I be that lyrical Engineer

“Heat Transfer, Magnetics, Vector Mechanics"

 

Ya know it's tough being an engineer

Designing gears and calculating elasticity of shear

I can't go on dates cuz my design project's late

Be workin' onsite till quarter past 8

or 9...sometimes even past midnight

Technicians be trippin', tellin' me that my beat's tight.

Better put on my bunny suit in that clean room environment

(pause) Class 1 fab with no particulates or allergens…workin'

on servos in the motors and Robotics with encoders

got body odor, need a shower, got no time for free loaders

I must say I'm thankful; God blessed me with a mind

With AutoCAD I can design a machine right on time

Need to design a ship that can go faster & faster

So maybe one day I can finally work for Nasa

*whew* Gotta get my head out that panel

so I can finally go home and watch Discovery Channel

 

Nutty Professor:
"You see what we're talking about goes beyond our comprehension in the normal sense. Intellectual design is most prevalent among us. You see w/ the speed of light, the implementation of the universe was set forth. Intricate circuitry was integrated into our biological development. Statistical, physical, or intellectual processes could never create or predict the world as you perceive it today.”

 

15 yrs of rappin' but may never see the Grammies

But at least I can understand thermodynamics

2 yrs of Calculus solving differential equations

I be that lyrical engineer with that Asian persuasion

Sometimes I be chillin' and be listening to the news and

thinkin' about theories and the principles of Cold Fusion

Might look like a nerd, and not a babemagnet

But got more toys than inspector Gadget

Like I don't use film cuz my camera's strictly digital

woulda been a miracle to get a JPEG of Jerrico.

So when will girls call me, when they can’t boot their PC’s?

Sorry ladies, I’m goin’ back to my Atari!

 

Desperate Cry

Written by: Only Won
Produced by: Maximillian

(chorus)
I gotta get out before I go out.

Lord I gotta get out before I die.

I gotta get out and there s no doubt

Lord oh Lord hear my cry.

 

I'm crying out Father cuz there's something on my mind.

It overwhelms me so that I just can't realize.

See I'm tired of seeing friends of mine killed,

not by will, cuz they chilled on the wrong side of the hill,

they were raised in, schooled in, and most importantly lived in,

their entire lives seems like they were caged in.

It's just not the way to express our true freedom.

It goes against the fact that we just want to build up

the dreams that we had since we were children

now we listen to them but does anybody hear them?

Seems like our dreams just keep on fading

into a realm of darkness that don't end.

From coast to coast all across the land,

feels like I'm trapped in the hood with my gang

 

(chorus)

 

Johnny C was with me as he fell on his knees.

Right in front of my eyes he was killed tryin to be O.G.

Now that he s gone, I see his life flashing before my eyes.

I cry, why oh why was he a victim and he had to die?

His only dream was to have a family and to go to school.

Now his son is fatherless and I feel like such a stupid fool

for not having stopped him before it was too late.

I tried to hint but he just wouldn t take the bait.

Now he's pushing up daisies 6 feet underground.

His wife and kids have no man to be around,

but I'll tell you now that there's a man who really does still care

Just come to Him cuz the end is coming very near.

You're sportin' the colors and you just wanna bang.

Feels like you trapped in the hood with yo gang.

 

(prayer)
Father,

This is my desperate cry out to you.

I'm scared Lord, God.

I don't want to die here.

I don't want my family and my friends to die here.

I don't know what to do.

Please Lord, hear my prayer....

and get me outa here.

 

Now I sit in my room and recollect about my past

wondering why some of my Homies didn't last.

Enough is enough I just can't stand it anymore

when an innocent girl gives up to be a whore? uh

Thinkin' about the days at school where she went,

All the classes we passed and all the times that we spent.

How can she go on and not know what she's done?

Contaminated with AIDS, now who'll admit that he's the one

that did it? Now he know's that he's infected.

A brother that's scared so now he starts injecting

the drugs in his blood to forget about his pains.

Forgetting that Christ died and his pain is your gain.

Goin' around trippin' everyday be the same.

Still you feel trapped in the hood with your gang.

Luke 15:11-32

I was sitting here...all alone

thinking about the times we spent together

We'd walk side by side,hand in hand

outside in the cold weather

And I remember when

You'd tell me all your hurts and pains

and I'd remind you that

the sun still rises after the rain

 

(chorus)

Oh how I love you so

I'll never let you go

oh WO DUO MA AI NI

oh WO SHI ZEN MA de AI NI

 

You would come to me....I'd encourage you

about all your hope and dreams

And when times were tough, I'd remind you that

things aren't always as they seem

And I remember when

in me you would confide

and I'd remind you that (whisper: if you'd trust in me)

everything would be alright

 

(chorus)
(4 bars)
Oh how I love you so

How can I ever let you go

oh WO DUO MA AI NI

oh WO SHI ZEN MA de AI NI

 

(rap)
Child please....don't forget, you know that I be waitin'

for you to come home, see I know that you be late and

maybe you were out datin'

forgot about the time, I remember I use to be the one to make you

smile. Go that extra mile all the while

Now the days go by and you the one that makes me cry.

In the morning in the night, time and time and again.

....I remember when...

 

(Bridge)
(8 bars)
So how could you leave me without sayin' goodbye

You leave me hangin' asking why oh why

Please come back to me

Can't you see me reaching out to you?

 

(chorus)
Oh how I love you so

And I will never let you go

oh WO DUO MA AI NI

WO YONG YUEN BU FENG LI

 

Nations Under
© 2006
Written by: D1, OT, Only Won
Produced by: Jonnie 6 Productions

Acts 17:26 God has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.

I grew up in a place where freedom of worship

was taken away, was blown away, everyday

living life tryin to seek His Holy Name

why does it have to be this way, meing?

where's the freedom that was given to us?

why cant the creator be presented to us?

dont you understand, that He loved us

so much that He gave it all for all of us?

[spanish verses]

donde esta la libertad que se nos regalo?

nos tenemos que esconder para buscarlo

es triste ver a muchos encarselados y

aveses castigados por amarlo y adorarlo

latino america bendecida por Dios

pero nos quitan el derecho de alabarle

ni siquiera a su santo nombre exartarle

como si quisieran otravez crusificarle

[translation]

where’s the freedom that was given to us?

we have to hide to seek Him

its sad to see many incarcerated and

sometimes abused cause they love him and praise him

Latin America blessed by God

but they take away our rights to worship Him

we cant even exalt His name

its like they want to crucify Him again

 

(Hook)
Oh Lord,

You know that we need you

You know that we need to

Be all that You called us here to be

We're not living by feeling

Or by what we are seeing

Our Nation's Under you Lord

Our Nation's Under you Lord

 

Should I waste the air in my lungs Declarin' the neighborhood I'm from

Is the worst area by comparison And be swearin' it son?

Nah. That would be dumb. Instead I stare at the Son

Who shares with me the clarity Of where I am from

 

How He raised a civilization That was carefully spun

I watch as people wisely do What's rarely been done.

The next part of the story's Shared painfully umm…

I've barely begun To walk across these African sands

 

When I'm cracked by other Blacks With the backs of their hands

I'm ripped, stripped and shipped Away to affluent lands

Where I'm cracked by slave masters With the lash in their hands.

Four hundred years later and we At it again

Other brothers cracked my mother With the crack in their hands.

 

I understand Return to the Lord we gotta We must

When we were Gathering rust He was gathering us

From every nation under heaven He's established a trust

The true reparation Without Him we're just Scattering dust

 

(Hook)

 

Nations Under, sometimes I start to wonder

How a God that controls lighting and thunder

can let His people despise his holy name

in this country?...when my people die everyday?

Just to say that we believe freedom that he's granted.

Strange how it was America 's seed that was planted

in my home land and how our faith started to expand.

as God reached out to to our outlying hands

Yet we have to hide underground, can't be too loud

Might go to jail or die if in Christ we are proud

I heard that in MEI GOK my people can be free

That was my prayer so I can worship God as I please.

But instead we don't allow the 10 golden rules.

Now I'm a citizen of a country that expels a kid from school

for reading the Bible, I feel like I'm back in China

Didn't we escape persecution so we can worship freely in America ?

Then why must we refrain from saying the name of God.

Seems odd we'd get sentenced with a simple nod.

I don't understand, how can this be so?

How can we let this happen, tell me, do you know?

Now you heard a little of something from Only Won CD

so we gonna go back to the days when I'd just rap to a beat

comin' from the mouth of only one man

I know you can't believe that you only hearin' one man.

Producin' hot tracks so I can Flex my hip hop muscle.

His lips move faster than a Kung Fu Hustle

When it comes to hard work you know i'm not laggin'.

Don't crouch like a tiger or hide like a dragon

Used to drive a station wagon but now my ride is dope

With a fish on the grill, you know I be givin' y'all hope.

Y'all gave me hope, just by buyin' this CD

I hope you now see the Glory in the three.

Come to the Father through Christ and you can have the Holy spirit.

My prayers and hope is only that you hear it.

And with that I have one last message to send

mmm...Maximillian, take em to the end.
