Mixtape
My peer and good friend Fresh Mann asked me to jump on a song for a Mixtape from Death2Self Records.
He said he had me in mind for this song that included my name. He asked if I had ever heard the song "Party Like A Rockstar". I honestly answered NO. Ge told me the concept was flipping it from rock/rockstar to chris/christian.
Because I hadn't heard the original, he played the first minute of the song so I would get a good idea of where we're coming from. I noticed that they were mocking white boys, skateboarders, and possibly punk rockers. I decided to mock some of the music they play where I'm from.
I also decided to explain how to party like a Christian; by 'Following the Leader!' Check out our fan favorite on Fresh Mann's new Mixtape presented by Death2Self Records.
The purpose of this Mixtape is to fill you in on Fresh Mann. He released "IM FRESH Part A" in 2007 and is working on "Part B". This Mixtape is appropriately titled "IM FRESH Interlude". You can find a song from Part B featured on Holy Hip Hop's compilation.

"Letter to my Father" Lyrics by Chris Treborn
COLLABORATION WITH SHYNE CHAYIM WHITE & CHRIS TREBORN
SONG: LETTER TO MY FATHER | DATE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 3RD, 2008
V1: Dear father, I write this letter to you and pray;
That you receive this well, love lives another day
Dad I don't know… where to begin with this,
But you've raised me with stories to be a witness
I share your experiences with my friends
Memories have a genesis, but they never end
Your legacy is what I wish to carry on
Continue through my life, through actions and song
It's scary that I'm gone away from you and home
Least I can call on you and write you a poem
I never went to your school, many times rebelled
We've been through so much, still we build
Don't give me a hammer, I can't use it myself
The bridge I build is through the words I tell
If I failed you I'm sorry, don't punish me please
Help my off my knees, on my feet I stand before I leave
CRS: Daddy I love you. That's why I hug you
You're my one & only. Place no one above you
I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy
I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
Public display of affections to no other
This is a love letter I write to my father
If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
I will journey as I share – now I set sail
V2: You've taught me so much including respect
You are my hero I hope all will accept
No other soldier no other vet will do
I'm thankful for victory, what you say is still true
Everyday I feel you, in every thing I do
Whenever there's fungus you discard the mildew
That's why the seeds you plant and their flowers bloom
Allow the sun to give them life; your life is ours too
No words I can muster, not a thing I can utter
Iterate my adoration, in affection I just stutter
Too bashful or too shy, to show the best guy
I fall short of your glory, what is the reason why
I can't remember it all, history you're alive
Recall, reflect teachings – in everything you survive
All reminds me of you, reminisce all we been through
All that remains, is us showing the world the truth
CRS: Daddy I love you. That's why I hug you
You're my one & only. Place no one above you
I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy
I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
Public display of affections to no other
This is a love letter I write to my father
If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
I will journey as I share – now I set sail
BRK: Set sail, as I tell. My father's tale
No I won't fail, just stay on his trail
Set sail as we tell – our father's tale
No we won't fail – if we stay on his trail
V3: Out of every man, you are my favorite artist
I'm an illustration of you. You know where my heart is
Every test you gave, easiest to hardest
I did my best to pass, rise out of the darkness
I'm your prince aren't I dad, I'm your royalty
I know I once was, because you've spoiled me
But I left your kingdom, to see the world for myself
Fell in love with a girl, and boy did I fail
Gone so many years, run with plenty peers
Woke from any dreams, and faced so many tears
This is me and you know, I continue to grow
To be the best son, as I reap what I sew
Dad I love you and my mother, more than my lover
More than my son, I put you 1st before any other
And I send this to you, I hope you answer back
Truly yours. With unconditional love. That's a fact
CRS: Daddy I love you. That's why I hug you
You're my one & only. Place no one above you
I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy
I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
Public display of affections to no other
This is a love letter I write to my father
If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
I will journey as I share – now I set sail
BRK: Set sail, as I tell. My father's tale
No I won't fail, just stay on his trail
Set sail as we tell – our father's tale
No we won't fail – if we stay on his trail

NOTES ON: Filled With Awe / How to handle cynicism 05.24.09 @JohnFehlen
FILLED WITH AWE // How to handle cynicism
WSFC May 24th, 2009: Pastor John Fehlen
Scripture: Mark 2:1-12
Fueled by Jesus, filled with Awe!
I'll take this thesis and make you pause
U been there done that bought the tee
But He paid the price to set you free!
Raised in church now got Religious fatigue
Some fall back after being Deceived
Don't count God out by the heart of man
He never turns away, may be hard to understand
Who can forgive sins no man only God
But I know He can, now round of applause
Dropped jaws, the elders just lost all
Outlaws of the world preachin the Gospel
So many unashamed, but what's the reality?
Act like peas in a pod, a reunion mentality
More than clique, is your mentality suspicious?
We never did it that way before, how is this religious?
Jesus was a rebel, shaking the earth
Open up! There's no mistakin His worth
He's right here in front of you
Yet you don't know what to do
What is it that troubles you
Do you know what His love will do
You've been searching for the best truth
He is the ONE truth, He came down to rescue...
You and your crew, everyone you ever knew
Friends and family and your enemies too
Now it's up to you to make a toast
In the crucifixion is what we will boast
Now that's a bold statement turn my life up
Don't waste your life just like John Piper
Are you desiring God? Get out your box
I got a contagious itch call it chicken pox!
Lyrics copyright Chris Treborn | G-Rated ENT.
Christian Music Reborn | TREBORN.com
ADDITIONAL NOTES;
Reunion mentality: Outsiders feel left out
Religion mentality: Pharisees, Jesus knows what your thinking
Wnditwb mentality: We never did it that way before
We need a WNSALTB mentality: We've never seen anything like this before!
Cynicism Busters:
1:Having an Active faith
2:Having a Whatever heart
Mark 2:1-12

CCMvsCHH? No! Body of Christ unite, forget Industry its Ministry!!!
I am SOOO upset because of this article! Relevant Magazine
First off, Ambassador being dropped from Cross Movement Records speaks BIG about the label's integrity, and commitment to serving our Lord God. How many labels would hold everyone accountable to the standards of God? We need to pray for both sides on this subject, and pray that it furthers the Kingdom of God.
After the Ambassador news, Relevant posted this 'diss' about Christian Hip-Hop.
This is what I have to say in regards to the article;
As much as I hate being dissed for being a Christian that raps, I don't want to be mainstream like some CCM artists They have no originality!
Id rather preach Christ by saying you Dont need those 26s than telling ppl I have a God shaped hole in my heart. SMH. Engage people!
Dont just say what is simple minded and easy to sell records. For Christ's SAKE, we are NOT in competition & we arent tryna be mainstream
Christian Artists are not tryna sell the most records or outsell one another. WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST & WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOD!!!
I currently cannot find the link for the Hazakim song on CCM Radio, but the host basically slaps CCM on the wrist for not being creative or intelligent enough. They use Crucifixion Description as the Hip-Hop example of how to engage listeners and believers.
Also, The Ham Sandwich show did an episode on the topic of Christian Radio being RACIST. They bring up some great points to further this conversation.

Body & Tats RE: The Wade-O Radio Show
TO START OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AN EMAIL I SENT TO DJ WADE-O OF THE WADE-O RADIO SHOW. IF YOU LISTEN YOU KNOW THIS TOPIC. IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, HEAD OVER TO WADEORADIO.COM AND CHECK OUT MY FAVORITE PODCAST/RADIO SHOW/ETC.
THIS TOPIC BEGAN WHEN A LISTENER OF THE SHOW CALLED IN AND ASKED ABOUT HOW CHRISTIANS SHOULD GO ABOUT GETTING TATTOOS, IF ITS WRONG OR RIGHT, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY, AND SO ON. EVERYONE HAS BROUGHT UP SOME GREAT POINTS AND I FIGURED I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY VIEW POINT AS WELL, IF I MAY...
Hey Wade-O,
I would call in but I feel I can express myself a little better by writing. I love the topics callers bring up, especially those which can go both ways.
On the subject of your body being a temple, that goes for inside and outside. If we treat our bodies like a temple, shouldn't we be eating healthy and nutritious food. Not junk food.
I understand God mentions we shouldn't worry about what we eat, but that's in the context of being provided for.
A caller mentioned tats can be for the love of the art and we could wear scripture on our skin to glorify God and share the gospel. I feel if we are concerned with tats, we should focus on our threads.
Think about SHOW EM OFF by Phanatik. He brings up a good point.
I could buy some Avirex jeans and SouthPole shirts for like $6 each (they were on sale at JC Pennies last week) but would that bring glory and would it be disrespectful to my temple.
Do we want our churches to look like clubs from the outside to draw in the world? Or do we set the example and show how to be respectable and representative to what we believe?
It's tough even as a Christian artist goes on stage wearing his clothes. Not everybody, but some people look up to artists or people in the light and see how they floss what they got.
Is it "swagger or substance"? (Copyright Dre Marshall) I believe each individual is called to do what God puts on their hearts. Follow Him, He will lead you in the right direction. And everyone thinking of getting a tattoo needs to pray on it first.
Bring a decision in your life before God and consider how it will affect our surroundings and brethren.
We are all a different part of the body of Christ, so we are not expected to all look and dress and talk the same. God is bigger than that. And he will use each tattoo to His glory, and each example and tattoo-less body to His glory as well.
I agree if it's an addiction it could be sin. If we eat fast food it could be an addiction. If we have pre-marital sex or other relations it is sin. So look at it like that too.
Treat your body right and how God intends for us to treat it.
And if you don't know what to do, we can take it back, and ask; What Would Jesus Do?
Can you see Jesus getting a tattoo.
REVOLUTIONARY
REBEL
or
GOD's SON
What of he got a huge tattoo on his shoulder blades saying I AM
That would look tight, but would it glorify God or would it draw attention to Jesus in possibly a negative way?
Blend in with the world?
Be sanctified?
Tough topic.
Thank you for your time.
Stay encouraged & be blessed!

Filled With Compassion @JohnFehlen
[5/3/9 West Salem Foursquare Church Pastor John Fehlen]
"FILLED WITH COMPASSION"
You wouldn't know what to do with them and you'd drive them all away
Your heart is filled with compassion and this is why you pray
If you reach out your hand and make an attempt to touch their filth
They will be cleansed by Gods love and their hearts will be filled
When you fail you fall short in your mind but God knows your heart
Fear not, go forth and do good anyway, today is your start
Tomorrow won't remember yesterdays blessings, today is a new
This might be a tedious task but blessed are those that follow through
Do you weep at this city as you overlook it from the heights
I pray the stars won't dim, your life has purpose like knights
You have a sword to slay dragons and a shield made of faith
Make no mistake take a hold of what you have and be great with strength
Even though we have left home for the city and it's dreams
The lies sound better than a parents disappointing screams
But as time goes by like the people we meet in our fame
We see hope failed but home still remembers our name
If we take that ride and journey back to our old home
We will be welcomed with open arms no longer will we be alone
Even though I've seen the flaws of authority where I'm safe
I am lawless without them and without them I have no faith

Mark 1:40
Lev 5
Lev 13

TreBorn / Spirit of Truth - Lyrics
"TreBorn" aka "Spirit of Truth"
[4/26/9 West Salem Foursquare Church ~ John Fehlen]
Sometimes it's hard for me to not dance
A musician staying still in a b-boy stance
I worship with my heart not my lips;
not my hands, I lift you up & I can't resist
The holy spirit flows the living water grows
The mind won't slow how many knows;
what God has planned expects of us
We fear being alone we manifest lust.
Lacking trust, thirsting for a rush
Skipping breakfast hungering for lunch
Were so connected thanks to device
But no relationships, we relate to the vice
How can you take the holy spirit put it in verbage
Neglect the trinity churches getting nervous
Some don't get it and take out the less
In who's mind? All 3 are best so blessed
I confirm I've been born not to conform
Not once not twice but three times more
New creature cool feature
Not a t-shirt to stay warm
Born to my father. Not yet treborn
Revived by the son as a teen still not treborn
Renewed by the spirit now I'm treborn
Entered 1982 naked as can be
Michael is the birth name that they gave me
15 year old sinner new to desire
Gave my life to Jesus so i had to retire
I feel so alive lilt the first time FREE
changed my name call me Myk Gee
Walkin' like I'm changed looking so strange
Sharing my new life with my new name
All I did was brag and boast that's it
But I stumbled and tripped as I backslid
Blessed, but glorifying myself
Stressed, destroying spiritual health
23 years old ready for full submission
Praying for a vision send me on a mission
at Mount Cross in two tongues I'm baptized
Finally I died I realized this is life
Key Scripture Notes;
John 16:13
John 14:16
John 16:7 comforter / counselor
Acts 2:1-2 speaking tongues

I confirm I've been born not to conform
Not once not twice but three times more
New creature cool feature
Not a t-shirt to stay warm
Born to my father. Not yet treborn
Revived by the son as a teen still not treborn
Renewed by the spirit now I'm treborn
Entered 1982 naked as can be
Michael is the birth name that they gave me
15 year old sinner new to desire
Gave my life to Jesus so i had to retire
I feel so alive lilt the first time FREE
changed my name call me Myk Gee
Walkin' like I'm changed looking so strange
Sharing my new life with my new name
All I did was brag and boast that's it
But I stumbled and tripped as I backslid
Blessed, but glorifying myself
Stressed, destroying spiritual health
23 years old ready for full submission
Praying for a vision send me on a mission
at Mount Cross in two tongues I'm baptized
Finally I died I realized this is life

NEXT TO HIM - Chris Treborn (Easter Song)
This Sunday April 5th, I will be performing "Next To Him" at Dayton Christian Church
I would like to share some extra details on this song. It is a journey. Following Christ to the cross. Consider it an Easter song. My poem of the Passion.
This is a song inspired by a few things;
The Beat itself...
I created this instrumental, it was powerful and moving, and I didn't know exactly what to do with it. I shared it with my friend Eric Swenson and he suggested I write about the crucifixion of Christ.
Crucifixion Description & Never Look Away...
It was weighing on my heart at the time, and I've been watching the Crucifixion Description by Hazakim over and over. I knew I wanted to give my point of view as if I were someone in the crowd, and as if I were the sinner on the cross repenting next to him. The first man to ask Jesus for forgiveness. I loved the perspective KJ-52 brought on the song; Never Look Away, and I wanted to add to the detail.
Comparing my life to the one I love...
Cas has this on her myspace; "If I can have any wish, and wish anything; I would wish to be a teardrop so I can be born in your eyes, live on your cheek, and die upon your lips." I loved it, and incorporated it into the song. I also ask questions that define the differences between you and I.
A Sermon on Transformation... (2 Corinthians 5:17 & Romans 6)
Cas and I went to church and the guest speaker touched on 2 Corinthians 5:17. That is the scripture that helped birth my name. She talked about simplistic concepts and ideas that personified transformation into a new creature. Being dead to sin and alive in Christ. She ended on the note of how a gross caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly and flies away from its old life. It sounds so simple, but once you've lived this, it takes on a whole new meaning to you and you feel it in your heart.

LYRICS:
What is the distance between me and you?
Is it our religion or the world we refuse
are we the same if we’re both abused
is it life or death that we get to choose
I was in a crowd hundreds of people
watched him walking from the steeple
he pulled a tree to set him free
you could see the fruit I began 2 weep
sum people mocked him others just watched him
sum ignored him but no one stopped him
he was looked . Down upon
like a bum . Singing a song
he was so far but he felt so close
I mean I felt his energy so I froze
the distance was distant yet so near
on his face was blood, on mine was a tear
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
I wish I was your tear born in your eye
live on your cheek before my demise
die on your lips sealed with a kiss
to be next to u I cannot resist
your presence I miss so I pray for u.
I don’t really know u but I really want to
I seek your face beneath your pain
I want to hear your story can u explain
nothing was said, just looked with one eye
the other was swollen as if he had cried
blood sweat and tears. Doubt fear n prayers
teaching and leading through out the last years
who wants to follow someone who dies
but we were surprised see how he rise
conquered the earth beyond the death
now lives in spirit af-ter the last breath
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
filled with compassion fueled by love
I feel like a raven next to this dove
but he’s so dirty just like a bug
can’t see his face just needs a hug
know he’s had enough. He sed it was finished
tears from the sky as he diminished
I feel unworthy next 2 his royalty
he will feed us not like spoiled meat
why should he die before me? If he is innocent
I should ask forgiveness and so I repent
I can feel the distance we’re not so different
as I hang on this cross I’m not hesitant
I believe I will live. I will grieve I will give
he will rise I will ride. I will stride he’s my guide
caterpillar on a cross so many wonder why
this is the cocoon before he is a butterfly
I feel separated, but I’m next to him
I see the distance but I’m next to him
arms stretched across he loves us this much
more than a touch - this is real love
I know this true, the kingdom awaits
our citizenship is beyond pearly gates
just passing thru as I’m asking you
can u feel him in your heart
or will pass on the truth?
