"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.

Lyrics
“A NEW DAWN”_YES WE CAN {SOUNDTRACK OF AMERICA} Dedicated to America and President-Elect Barack Obama Music produced by Al Fraser {Manchester, England} for smoothbeatsonly.com Lyrics and Vocals by Reverend Robert L.. Johnson {Norfolk, Virginia USA} November 9, 2008 We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal In spite of adversity, We the people can make it, we can make it {Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can} In spite of all that we’ve gone through as a UNITED People we can make it {Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can, Yes we can} We can’t afford to lose, not now If we could just stop trying to point out how many ways we are different We could realize how more we have in common We all need, feed, live, breathe, come here by birth and eventually die…not a lot of difference between you and I Some of us come from shores too far to reach, Yet in spite of the genius inside some were labeled too hard to teach But the truth is Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out You’re still looking for a New Dawn…Still reaching for higher ground Sometimes in the darkest night, You gotta wait for the LIGHT hold on change is gonna come I like my life this way, You like your life that way…In our humanness, maybe we can help each other understand different ways. If I reach out my hand and you push it away, How can we get an understanding today Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out You’re still looking for a New Dawn…Still reaching for higher ground Sometimes in adversity the only thing left is faith and hope, so hold on America take a stand…take a stand and say YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN. YES WE CAN YES, YES ,YES, YES Give me your tired your poor your huddle masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teeming shore send these the homeless, tempest tossed to me I will lift my lamp beside the golden door Whether you’re coming to, or whether you’re going through or whether you coming out You’re looking forward to a New Dawn Oh, this country was built on promises, you can live your life You can choose to hope And even if we don’t agree, we can agree to disagree {My country tis of thee, sweet land of LIBERTY, of thee I sing} But we can still work together for the common good of us all UNITED we stand divided we fall Lift every vice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmony of LIBERTY Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies…Let us march on till VICTORY is won YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN
