lol

does heaven got a ghetto


lyricks deliver me song is not bad

Saw it before, but I love this.

Man, that was off the hook.
They're really blessed with lyrical abilities.
Haha, they don't just mash words together and spit fast to sound good.
Nice find.

it would have been better if it wasnt about religion

^dats ur opinion man, its dere choice, freedom of speech, let them do wahever dey wish

Sounds pretty good. I read the comments that people left and it has a link to their myspace so I checked it out and they let you download the full song but it sounded nowhere near as good as the video. I think they said something about a remix at the beginning of the video. Remix > Original

oohh...mee likey! this song is really good. very meaningful. do they have any other songs? i like them a lot! thanks for letting me know about them.

Waw they are pretty good! Mad talent indeed.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure though if thats the "modest and respecful" way to sing to the lord. But hey, I'm not christian so what do I knwo right?

^^Haha; I'm christian, and i'm sure GOd would appreciate anythign we "sing" to him. although like you said, rap is a lil bit on the un-modest side. ionos, not exactly shureee.

^ Agreed. I think God wouldn't mind the way that we praise him as long as it's sincere and from the heart :]
Anyways, I like the song. They're really talented xD

I LOVE LYRICKS!!! his music is awesome!!! he's such a nice person

One of my christian cousin showed me this a couple of days ago..Don't mind seeing it again=]

^^ saw this before. God gave them great gifts, and they use the gifts to return to God, so I'm proud of them( even though I don't know them. ) =] Praise God!

Those guys are good. Kudos to them.

just saw the video and hit up lyricks myspace page...i can see myself listening to him...has good beats and a good feel to his voice...doesnt sound forced.

these are the songs that should be playing on the radio instead of all that other hip hop crap.

^hah fat chance, the industry reconizes NOTHING but crappy rappers like 50 Cent, to them, its all bout the gangsta image, they fear marketing nething new for tha fear of losing money.

*SIGH* rappers like 50 and Camillionaire gives rap such a negative image

neways i agree, even though im not christian, these guys can lyrically spit

wow, they're MAD GOOD... awesomeee.

i wish they'd play some of this on the radio, but it's not the typical christian music, so i don't know how it'd go over on a Christian station, and mainstream probably wouldn't play it BECAUSE it's Christian..

^that and the fact that they're asian americans, The American Entertainment industry just isnt ready for us

The music sounds familiar, lol. They are good.

The music was from Eminem's song (cant remember the title right now)

so basically, the two guys just rapped to Eminem's beat, but they wrote that song.

man.. rapping about christianity is so damn hilarious.
I cannot take them seriously hahahahahahaha
Plus, Manifest stole that name.
There already is a christian rapper named Manifest... and he's hilarious.

man, these guys got mad skills. haha. they're really good.

um ok , do you wanna know something that creeps me out hardcore ? CHRISTIAN POP MUSIC , and everything that falls under the depressingly large umbrella that this particular title covers .

ie , christian rap = wtf .

believe all you like , but what's the deal with rapping about it . it's just soo laame it makes me hurt . boom tish boom tish jesus died for our sins , yo , yo , uh .

they're no more talented than anyone else , either . they're not amazing .

These guys suck...
What embarasses me is not only the fact that they're rapping about christianity but the fact that they're trying to act black or 'urban' if you will...

how exactly do you act "black" or "urban"? and how are they doing it?

HAHahahhaha no. they will never succeed in this country. for one, theyre asian, which makes it not impossible but hard as hell to succeed. i mean look at eminem for instance. basically one of the few successful white rappers out of the many thousands that try. also, this country is not overall christian. not everyone believes in god. that eliminates a huge proportion of the population. and even if ppl believed in god, i doubt that many ppl would actually listen to guys rapping about it. basically i think the whole combination is a bad idea. rap was originally created by black ppl. there are certain limits to what topics rap can be about and there is a certain spirit to rap. lol i think its just funny.. its ridiculous. rap is most popular to black ppl and im sure they dont wanna listen to some asian guys rapping about god. oh and i dont like their music anyways.

i am an athiest btw... i dont believe in any religion. however im not against any religion either. i can predict many ppl will disagree with me just from some posts above. however, these are just my opinions. argue all u want. just dont make judgements about me for u do not know me.

Acting black is what people say in general... acting 'urban' is the more proper term.
And by you asking how to act 'black'/'urban' just shows that you already know what it means, no need to act dumb. We stereotype it as acting 'black'.
Just listen to the way they speak before the song starts...
and listen to how they speak near the end of the song
"yeah~ no chorus necessary, we victorious!" and so on and so fourth
Speaking like that doesn't come naturally from a Korean kid growing up.
One forces himself to speak like that when they get into that whole hip hop/gangster thing and it's pathetic and embarrassing.

regular korean ppl in the us are getting better and better!!!! =]

i can't understand what they are saying but i'm sure the lyrics are very meaningful. i like Kanye west's Jesus Walks more though. That song is the only rap song i can listen to over and over. sometimes i cry when i watch the video (i cry easily though)

i don't find anything wrong about christian music, especially christian rap. it's way better than talking how they can use a gun or how many girls they have.

That's not what the song is about. Most modern christian songs aren't about that either. = ="

What makes you think there trying? What makes you think thats not the way they talk? Your assuming because there Asian there not possible way they can talk like that. So your saying that black people talk like that naturally but Asian people don't?

Anyway they were hot. I really don't come across Christian rappers that rap like that. So it was refreshing to see. I love the lyrics as well.

so this christian rap is not about christianity ? right-o .

anyway america is far too conservative for asian christian rap . phew .

Oh snap.. Rick LEE hahaha. He went to my church once back here in GA before he went up north to become all famous. He sounds pretty good.

That's awesome...I don't think that this isn't a "modest and respectful" way to praise God..just because rappers these days rap about all that bullsh*t doesn't mean rap is bad..rap is also a great way to speak your mind, show emotions, etc.
and dekadog, just because these guys don't have sex, drugs, girls, etc. in their lyrics doesn't mean you gotta hate on them.

For those who say that Christian rap is "lame" and think that it's not appropriate, let me ask you, "What genre of music is for Christians, then?" I don't want anyone to feel offended by this, because I too, am a Christian, but it's just tiring to hear so many people in the forum, outside of the forum, say that this type of Christian music is not modest and respectful. They're expressing their feelings towards God--how they're thankful for their gifts and want to give everything to Him. They're trying to act "urban" and "black"...? Who are we judge how they "act"?

I'm not a big fan of rap, but the lyrics to this song really touched me. Ignore the rap style beat, listen to the lyrics. I can relate to it. He gives us so much, yet at the hardest times of our lives, we show no gratitude.

I really like this! I'm not really into rap but I like how these guys were really into the music.


-- Thao

i'm not christian...but gotta admit they're pretty good XD

hey.. wait a minute ... the lyricks guy is the counselor from my retreat!!
haha thats cool

Woowza..Really good rappers..

did u get that from tupac?

lyricks was at my church sharing his testimony a while ago, but i STUPIDLY missed it he's so awesome though.

LOL, I couldn't really hear what they were saying.... Music is not reserved for specific cultures or races. Yanni integrates instruments from various cultures (ie. instruments of Australia's Aboriginals, styles unique to Latin America, Chinese flute, er-wu & gu-zheng).

Thanks for sharing! Looking for more of this!

DUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhh

Who's else opinion is it? Where did he say anything about censoring them?

Yeah, this is whack. This is comparable to Christian death metal.

#1 EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY was on 50's pipe when he was about to drop. Wanksta, In Da Club? I know everybody was gettin' down to that.

#2 50 isn't a "crappy" rapper, he's a decent rapper, who chose to become a sellout rather than stay true to the streets (even though that's the goal of every rapper and I don't know why he's catchin' heat for it"

there are differences between being a bad rapper and making moves to get that guap

these cats are aight though, nice flow, pretty good delivery, pretty good lyrics...

dont put chamillionaire and 50 cent in the same sentence ever again.

now sure, chams single isnt very great lyrically or content-wise, but gotdamn when he wants to, hes capable of taking a big crap all over your favorite emcee

here's the lyrics for anyone who couldn't understand them

"Gift"

(manifest)
Couldn't care much less you invisible
blind to the eyes of the world so they ridicule
you, tryin to get rid of you and we let em by
when it's their own lives that they minimize
what if they knew that you're alive
that you gave up your one and only son to die
for mankind, could they deny
the truth of it all, that it aint a lie
Almighty God use me for your purpose
naw i'm not perfect, hear my words
but one thing is certain, and i'm sure man
all i wanna do is kneel at your service
here at your service, all for you
all praise to the Lord, i offer you
my life, my soul, you the reason I breathe
every season of the year wanna walk with you
let me burn wit a passion, everlastin
life let it happen, speak through my rappin
don't wanna feel no shame no more
u can get it done any way any fashion
it's all about attitude,
you give so much and i show no gratitude
blessed with the gift of music, now I use it to give back to you

give me the strength till I get there
so let me stand, not just sit there
you gave me the gift
now i gotta give it back to the best of the best, oh heck yea

(lyricks)
Who's this that you're hearing again?
dedicated to the people, lives, and events
God are you there? cuz mom isn't here
daddy cries in silence, his tears fall to the ground
all my sound, my work, all my music fuses
humans confusing people, livin in a world that's not so see through
with that said, the booth is lethal
I become a weapon, everytime I step in, step out
Lyricks in effect now, bullets in .wav form and everybody's set now but
hold your fire. ladies and gentleman, I just wanna let you know
more proud than I've ever been
name is irrelevant though. me, nobody
just got a samaritan flow.

Hmm.. I didn't get what they sang but their rap impressed me. Even though I tried to follow the lyrics, it goes too fast.. I wonder when Asians can actually succeed in the America. Rain and Se7en are trying there.. How do they do now?

their song "Gift" and the remix version of it was really nice.. they have talent and i'm really proud of them that they are using it for God. it would be nice to meet them one day and have them do a testimony and share something with our church.

and thanks to flipdragn for the lyrics.
