"On Fire for Christ" Never Alone_Dallas, Texas...Christian Rap Artists...Anointed young men that Praise GOD for his Glory and His Son JESUS, Our Lord and Savior. Ken Mobley_Fort Smith, AR We joined forces because we both believe in Jesus Christ for who HE really is...And to the "Naysayers" that say that an Ordained Minister should not be involving himself with "Hardcore Rappers", I ask you to read the "Word" and then you will realize that my job is not to judge, but to spread the "Word"...Did you think that the chosen 12 were all squeaky clean when Christ chose them? I was "Toore Down from the Floor Down" when he chose me. "Stop criticizing and get the message" "It aint about me, It's about HE that sent me" If you see others that need your help...HELP Them Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. (Matthew 25) I grew up in a neighborhood where music was a constant part of daily life...My earliest influences were Country Western, R&B, Spiritual, Gospel music. I have always been intrigued by vocalist that sing "from the heart" Even before formal training at VA. State. University, I was keenly aware of the difference between a (Sanger' and a Singer) Natural 1'st tenor...5 octave range... Recording software...Cubase, Sonar 4, Producer Edition, Sonar 5 Producer Edition, Computer...PC based Recording Association(s)& Collaborations Robev.

Andrews, Jr....Harrisburg, PA ***Natural 1'st tenor...5 octave range...*** ***As a result, I seldom play it safe vocally...If the compassion in a song is in the Baritone register...I'll go there...If on the other hand its in the "Rafters"...I'll go there*** The greatest joys so far in life have been the birth of my son, the love and support of my family, and Beverly A. Johnson (My Wife) As an Ordained Minister I have a duty to spread God's message, whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself. Does it matter if I become "Rich and Famous ? Nope!!! Does it matter if someone draws nearer to the Savior after hearing my Music Ministry? Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh IT AINT ABOUT ME...IT'S ABOUT HE THAT SENDS ME 2 those of U who struggle with those times when it seems that the only one that's feeling you is U...express your heart, stay true to your message...Let God Send it where it needs 2 go. ****Now That I'm Empty, Next Step, Purify Me, Even Ministers Need**** These songs are dedicated to the memory of my Dad, Mr. Clarence OB.

First Born Son South Carolina Country Boy Lyrics written by: Reverend Robert L.. Johnson 11/28/2007 Music by: Charles Dixon Woodbridge, VA Lead Vocals: Reverend Robert L.. Johnson Background Vocals: Charles Dixon, Reverend Robert L.. Johnson Intro Remembering the times, remembering the seasons, remembering the love that we shared between us Lead Ad-lib The first born son of a country boy that was born to run A frightened kid looking us and saying I don’t why I did what I did Remembering the times, remembering the season, remembering the love that we shared between us I remember you telling me how you had to quit school, how you had to stop school to work on the farm To help feed the family Chorus Remembering the times, remembering the season, remembering the love that we shared between us There’s something about a little boy, holding his daddy’s hands, There’s something about a young boy Learning to be a man, Remembering the time, the season, the love that we shared between us The time, the season, all the love we shared between us, We’d clash because you and I are so much alike Getting caught in places you told me not to go, Whenever there was trouble you were at the door And I’m remembering somebody, somebody saying, You better go home boy And I’m remembering somebody saying you better go home boy, Your daddy is looking for you. Remembering Chorus/Refrain The time, the season, the love that we shared between us , And now that I’ve got a son of my own, I hope that he will remember as time goes on Remember the time, remember my love, remember the seasons, Remember the love between us Chorus The time, The seasons, Remember my love we shared between us, The time, seasons, The love we shared between us So special to remember spending time having conversations about things that only you and I could talk about Start out talking bout wrestling, end up talking bout personal things, secret things and love that we shared between us Chorus Thinking back I walked up behind you and hear you say that’s my boy you outta hear him sing That’s my son over there, He can do just about anything, Remembering, First born son of a country boy That was born to run. Remembering the time, remembering the seasonsI try to sing bass just like you used to do
