WOW 03:34
You reached into the mud and the grime to rescue this broken soul of mine You didn't hesitate to get your hands dirty so you could touch the hidden parts that hurt me the enemy he tried to murk me please forgive me if I'm not churchy in fact I don't apologised 'cause he used dirt to open blind eyes modern day pharisees can't see that He can use anything he used me this is an urban translation of the gospel to my generation and we will keep penetrating pop culture with His revelation meanwhile church folk keep debatiing as we keep breaking the chains of satan i repeat this one more time He reached deep into the mud and the grime in the mud I dwelt like swine getting so filthy time after time even after i heard the sermon to do my own thing I was determined i was in such pain, pain like paul and silas in chains, chains all I wanted was a change, change He got grimey so I praise, praise He who knew no sin became sin so i could become righteous in Him He who knew no sin became sin so I could become so free within He who knew no sin became overcame sin that's why I'm saying WOW! You got grimey (x3) you went to hell and back just to find me WOW! Oh my God! Aint you heard The Word became flesh God in the flesh was made manifest I know that it doesn't make sense that was two thousand years ago it's past tense what about right here, right now the world is still grimey slimey and foul soon the trumpet will sound and to Him every knew will bow wow, but first he got grimey He came with good news that is timely i can now put the past behind me He pushed fast forward, you can't rewind me yes He became as one of us in the flesh He came like one of us He felt pain just like one of us how can i explain like one us yeah call me an evangelyricist cause bringing the good news is the street psalmist God's got my back so I won't front I fall back, back down or back up G-O-D is my DJ and I'm His emcee feel me in fact God is the emcee and i'm just His M-I-C in fact I'm just a speaker do you get it?

Break it down I wanna build you up but first i've gotta break it down when it comes to this art it is all from the heart so my body of art is alive from the start body art like ink on the skin reflecting what I'm feeling within i carve verses I care for the craft even if they think I am daft and they laugh you don't know me you don't know the half I'm being made whole my wounds turns to scars It is part of the process In my verses I'm charting my progress deep in my heart I know I'm so blessed I was so stressed man I was hopeless I'm not here for the genre drama save the politics for obama I'm not carving a false persona I've been there done that and no longer am I trying to fake it to make it this is all real take it or hate it it's old now so I will not debate it there's no split betweeen secular/sacred for me it's all sacred I'm awakened this is all worship that is basic some can't understand this but face it the word is carved in my heart can't erase it I see through a whole different lens now and I sense how things are so tense now I stand straight and I will never bend now I stick to my guns take that POW! POW! of course I'm metaphorcially speaking I don't pack a gat as I'm beasting on this track I'm just frankly speaking I'm hoping it's the truth that you're meeting I wanna build you up but first i've gotta break it down The fall is not where it all started Creation came first God's an artist don't start the story from the wrong place or in your mind you will miss the target everything was meant to be good it was made to be good, hope that's understood then the fall came order was broken and the whole creation is hoping and groaning longing for the day of redemption and restoration spoken from the mouth of God was a promise no slogans the Word became flesh cos see actions speak louder and they put him to death but he rose again with great power all our sins have been paid for but we're not going back to Eden we're moving forward to something greater from above a Kingdom we're receiving it's for those who believe in the good news of which I am speaking so hear the word and receive him inhale new life, breathe in then keep breathing and keep cleaving to the faith, keep believing over time your faith will deepen it's precious in a world that cheapens everything that is so precious we were made for more not lesser I hope you've got the real treasure amazing grace no one can measure I wanna build you up but first i've gotta break it down

Venting 03:48
Let's get this clear right from the start I'm keeping it real coming straight from the heart though my heart's been broken apart for the sake of the art and perfecting my craft most people think you're having a laugh though the truth is there is a price for the art my shoulders hurt as I'm bearing this ark my chest heaving but still I spark more than just conversation with dedication illumination, this revelation on this occasion is for the nation, I'm making statements 'cause we've been placed in such situations that we are facing it is frustrating but tribulations they teach me patience as I follow this path that's ancient I do this for the love of the art this is passion straight from the heart these bars I spark, shine in the dark so much flow it can float noah's ark it's Karl Nova that unknown solider used to cry rivers the bridge got me over this bridge here aint falling down the street psalmist is standing his ground sometimes I feel so underground that I should have my own station now so mind the gap that separates us the Most High elevates us nothing in the world can shape us that's simply 'cause you didn't make us even our folks underrate us that's nothing new nothing can shake us yeah we're keeping it moving it goes without saying there's room for improving yeah but what we are doing is more than just music it is a movement anybody can be a critics but not many critics can pen these lyrics I'm defying the laws of physics i take flight on the mic with no limits no I'm not wearing a cross on my neck man I'm bearing a cross on my back and I'm tearing across this track with such flair and of course for the right reasons not for the Ps and not for the fame trust me it aint easy believe me it's hard out here by your own you get scarred out here I'm still speaking my heat out here I'm still dropping these bars out here it's hard out here when you're not supported by big labels we are not courted some believe the hype that's reported they think that you have blown up and you're sorted they don't know the doubts you have fought with they don't know the times you have fallen that's why I'm not on the hype thing though I can get you hyped with my writing call me thunder I'll strike like lightening nah just call me Nova when i'm rhyming with perfect timing yes i'm shining it's part of my blueprint God designing I once got spellbound by bright things 'til I caught a glimpse of Christ rising though I get flawed by my flaws grace once more picks me up from the floor this aint a game, this is war I go to war more than I go on tour I'm like a race horse, on a race course I've got more horse power than a Porsche 'cause I've been powered by The Source not the magazine but God of course I'm a whole new creation my name's in the middle of innovation get it? inNOVAtion I've got the flow for the occasion which each bar the bar I am raising I'm backed up by scriptures that are ancient I hope you've got the picture I've painted Iron sharpens iron I'm abrasive it is a movement through us here Jesus is moving this is God's act see what he's doing bringing all the enemy's plans to ruin his will is what we're pursuing cant you see he's doing a new thing others are pretenders he's the true king all things shall be subject to Him so label me a Jesus freak, Jesus walks and Jesus speaks Jesus talks He raps through me God once spoke through a donkey He rode a donkey through the streets just like my flow is riding this beat there's no place to hide from the heat the heat of his love pierces deceit the heat of his love will melt ice grills and at the same time down spins send chills sometimes to my mind it seems unreal through this music I express how I feel and it's real!

No matter what they say no matter what they do you've got an invincible joy and it's inside of you (x2) You, yes I mean you.

I think the best thing is to find a joy within It can't be destroyed by storms and blasting wind And since this world did not give it it cannot take it This joy you've got to live in it you cannot fake it When buried by sorrow somehow this joy emerges And through my heart mind & soul strongly it surges You won't find this joy if you're skating on the surface You've got break the ice and dive deep you might get nervous I don't know it all but I know a thing or two i know that I've got a joy invincible I have got to tell you something you've got to listen and pay attention (x2) No matter what they say no matter what they do you've got an invincible joy and it's inside of you (x2)

I was frustrated Just a little frustrated I got tired of debating I just wanna be creative As the earth turns, learn to discern Look beneath the labels and the man made terms Beneath what's expressed find out the real concerns The passion for truth deep within me burns I'm not aiming to cater to just one market now I'm not tailoring my content or dumbing down I seek to speak from the heart through this art And give the whole truth not just bits and parts I don't subscribe to your marketing labels I'm content to let my content turn the tables Of the moneychangers only concerned with profit Those only concerned with deepening their pockets I don't think Christ died to birth a subcultre He died and he rose to redeem souls So while they're feeding on the flesh like a vulture I walk in the Spirit by faith with worn soles I was frustrated Just a little frustrated I got tired of debating I just wanna be creative some folks are more concerned with descriptive labels but if you aint really that those labels are fables It's all about the content and the intent God knows my intent and with that I'm content What really is a christian rapper And why in that subculture does it matter That an artist feels they need to hold on to this label Let's take a closer look and see what's under the table From a label's point of view it's all about marketing The label is needed because they're targeting Those who are most likely to part with cash It's most likely Christians will buy Christian tracks So they mark all these products with Christian tags branding is more important than if it's good or crap consumers affirm their identity through stuff like that And separate themselves using cultural artifacts To make up for what deep within they lack Just buy christian products bump Christian tracks Hide in the false security of your bubble And act like it's all perfect with no struggle I was frustrated Just a little frustrated I was tired of debating I just wanna be creative Not everything labelled christian is about the Christ It really took a while for me to see the light Uncle Chuck warned me but I did believe the hype The hype gassed me 'n' left me dissatisfied I must confess in some cases Gandhi was right To say he doesn't like Christians but likes The Christ Cos we are so unlike The Christ most times And are more concerned with this subculture in which we hide We're more concerned if we look good on the outside Instead of being real about the struggles on the inside We seem more concerned about this culture we've made Which is more about legalism than about grace It's more about a polished image and being fake It's more about the label than in who we've placed our faith Is it really about rules that are man made? Call me a joker but I'll call a spade a spade I was frustrated Just a little frustrated I got tired of debating I just wanna be creative
13.
it all started so simple and innocent deep within my own heart I was witnessing a new birth because your love entered in i thought i was a loser I was meant to win is what you told me and I believed you i made a promise that I would never leave you but as time moved on I kinda drifted somehow my whole focused shifted now I feel low I wanna get lifted I feel like I'm cursed though I am gifted i feel so messed I feel so conflicted I wanted to do my own thing I felt restricted i feel like I have gone too far now I'm so far gone turning back is hard now in my heart now, I'm feeling scarred now I wanna go right back to the start now And I wish we can go back to the way we started I wish we can go to the way we started yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [x2] I wish we could go back to the way we started please take me back before I'm hardhearted before I'm dearly departed let your love be the arrow and my heart the target this relationship wrecked I feel like i'm sinking Why did I leave you? What was I thinking? I don't know how to face you, want to embrace you nothing in this world can ever replace you i feel like there is wall for me to break through only your love can make a way through take me back to when I first believed when I first received, relief from my grief i'm so sorry, oh please forgive me give me another chance I am weary this is the very cry of my heart now I wanna go right back to the start now And I wish we can go back to the way we started I wish we can go to the way we started yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [x2] come into my heart again please let us start again I don't want us to be apart again help me not to depart again yeah [x2]

about

Over a period of time during recording sessions for the project that became PLTFRM SE7EN [SIDE A] which came out June 3rd 2014 and PLTFRM SE7EN [SIDE B] which came out on June 3rd 2016 exactly 2 years later to the day, the tracks on this project emerged.

I experimented with creating beats inspired by grime, dubstep, trap and UK funky house. I got inspired by London underground bass music. These tracks didn't fit in with the soulful boom bap flavour I was trying to make at the time. This is the thing with music, sometimes it just comes out how it comes out and you have to just let it happen.

At the time I was creating all this music I was very stressed and frustrated about the constraints on my expression that the scene i come from tries to place on an artist like me. I am not trying to preach or force my beliefs on anyone. I am not trying to convert people to my worldview, I am simply expressing myself FROM my worldview. I use music as therapy. I use music to try make sense of my experience. If you find inspiration, hope, encouragement, upliftment and food for your faith or anything meaningful to you in my music and songs I am humbled and grateful because honestly I am not trying to make anyone believe what I do. I am just trying to live and express myself musically in the most honest way possible and to the best of my abilities. These songs are like gasps for breath. In fact that is what all my music is like to me.

I am not claiming to represent for a genre or a scene. I am not representing for any man made label or musical categorization, if this disappoints you then you are not probably hanging around for me or my music, you are probably looking for me to represent an ideal that is important to you. All I can say is whatever you get from my music is for you. I am grateful what I create can mean something to someone else in any kind of way even if it is little. I am not famous or very well known or any of that, honestly that was never my primary reason for doing this. I am not even rated by many in the scene I am from as an artist but that is cool, when I started making music it was me alone with beats and rhymes dealing with my frustration, pain, brokenness expressing my heart and mind and trying to make sense of life and it is still that way today.

To those who "get" what I am about and truly support me this is for you! much love to you! Maybe my music is for those who know what it feels like to be lost, broken, frustrated, confused and yet determined to keep the faith and keep hope alive.

P.S There are those who say free music is "killing the scene" well you have an option. You can pay whatever you want with this project. You can download it for nothing if you like. I don't feel entitled to your money, I feel I have to work to earn it by making something of value that you feel is worth purchasing. I don't mind sharing my music with you. If it connects with you and you want to share back financially and can do that then don't hold back.

It is also available on itunes, amazon, google play and all digital stores if you don't want to buy this directly from me here and prefer the convenience of those outlets.
