uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

one time, for yo mind, for yo mind

Favor, Favor, Favor

H.O.I., H.O.I.



[Israel the Warrior]

straight out the gate, make 'em jump, make me bounce

break 'em down wit mo bounce to the ounce, who you be?

I'm Israel the Warrior, the chief servant

representin Heaven, breakin off all competitors

now what the deal, baby you can't see me wit a bird's-eye view

move, the crew of the Most High comin through

son it make me wanna go to combat

when I see the devil gettin busy in the world like he all that

he always got it down from the crack smoke, and the blunt smoke (??)

little kids think its cool to make they gun smoke

mama cryin, cause her son won't cooperate

and papa dyin, ain't no funds for them to operate

and check it, yo this be the last days

B grab the Word of God and read the book of Revelation in a fast way

thats the only way you'll make it, black

I been sent to you from on high to teach you immortal combat

comin through, bringin true flavor to your projects

make yo head nod til you sprain yo neck

you get the message, when the smoke clear from the wreckage

as them Holy Ghost rhymes explode on every line

like a lion I ain't scared to die, cause Jehovah Jah

uh, from the very start, gave me a lionheart



[Chorus x2]

Israel the Warrior a.k.a. a desperado

before I got Saved I never prayed

and I'm on give regard to the Number One God

Jehovah Jah the Most High blessed me wit the lionheart

tell 'em I ready, I'm the tell them again (??)

tell 'em I ready, I'm the tell them again (??)

tell 'em I ready, I'm the tell them again (??)

Israel the Conqueror, oh yayee



[Israel the Warrior]

here we down to represent and keep it real, black

God has got my back so I can go kamikaze on the track

wit the sanctified flavor rock the mic full blown

breakin demons bones like Dragonfly Jones

west active, the Most High committed me for rappin

I'm His 4 star general, makin deals happen

one luv to the Almighty Father who made me rough enough

tough enough, to keep my head up when the goin's rough

sho nuff, through Christ I'm on conquer all things

you don't know the deal, Philippians 4:13'

I got a heart like a lion son, demons can't see me (what)

they can't beat me, so them chumps try to sneak me

no doubt, its a must I bring the flavor like that

blaze the track wit hot rhymes for the Savior like that (uh-huh)

mister tee tat toe, me rap them all in a row (oh yeah) (??)

we rock for Jehovah at the jammin show

mister tee tat toe, (oh yeah) me rap them all in a row (ah-ha) (??)

we rock for the Christians at the jammin show 



[Chorus x2]



[Israel the Warrior]

I tell you what I do G, when adversaty come around me

and try to shut me down baby

I gots to be a strong soldier so I grits my teeth (uh-huh)

and tell satan and his team that the Saints got beef

word is bond, down to put my armor on

I'm protected to the bone as I walk with angels to the battle zone (to the battle zone)

what the deal dun, the Victory is mine

got a direct line, to the Kingdom of the Most High

what you can do son, is I can get a prayer through

if God's got my back then I can crush your crew

like Sampson, them demonic forces gettin vanquished

cuttin through your ranks in spirit, like the phantoms

sweet victory son, we got it goin on

through the midnight storm, the sun shine at the break a dawn (haa)

shouldnt a come against the Saint from the start (start)

the battle is the Lord's, so I now have a lionheart (??)



[Chorus x3]



know I'm sayin?

we'll be comin through in 1998

know I'm sayin?

I don't know whats up yo, this ain't a rhyme for yo peeps

we be sayin, yall seein, we Christians

its a new breed a soldiers baby, with a lionheart

we comin through represntin Jehovah Jah

(and ya don't stop)

the Most High, until the day we die

(H.O.I. baby)
