Hook: Living in this world it’s so crazy Yep, that’s why I gotta die daily Can’t be lazy as I go around Straight grinding as it goes down Through the hallways, all through the hallways Through the hallways, all day through the hallways Through the hallways, all through the hallways Through the hallways, all day through the hallways Verse 1: Come and walk with me, take a stroll now Take look around homie, man slow down They talking knowledge or hunting leisure These dudes are superstars, these girls are divas They got their swagger on, real talkative Their only focus be their prerogative Around trying to be the coolest or the freshest Who has the better crew, man who’s really is impressive Other pushing through to be the smartest with a passion dude The rest are skipping out on class or they just passing through Trying to live it up or get by until the next day Not knowing there’s more to life in fresh way Hook Verse 2: There’s a problem man gotta give the answer We gotta stay focus because we some Ambas(sdor) Staying focused on that Missio Dei The Mission of God, we ain’t driven to play Can’t be some bookworms cause our time is will pass soon We gotta be active outside the classroom Sometimes we get the teachers words and do right Or will take the bread of life and have a food fight We gotta be unified since we have the same goal Seeing peeps redeemed and go buck with the angels Motivating people not to go through the motions To the hallway life don’t waste your devotion Hook K-drama’s Verse: I try not waste time in the in betweens I’m trying to move on from dairy to Jimmy Dean So I can’t skip class in the hallways Cause Temps dont mean much I’m in it for the long haul way Going from class to class completing task to task My Favorite class is aftermath Cause I think about the end from the beginning And will I be proud of what’s left after my sinning This life is one be hallway we just passing through To our final destination don’t kick of your shoes Don’t get comfortable graduation’s almost here I hope shine, walking through hallways past my peers Hook

Sho Baraka I was a young buck just doing too much Not working for a team just trying to do me Living for the present not for things unseen Not very prudent but a teacher saw a student Saw my direction asked me what I’m doing He saw my life ruined from the angle he was viewing Took his time, cared enough exchange life Told me what a real man was like, alright Type that denies themselves to promote health In the body, a keeps his sinner man on the self Showed me what love is and what it isn’t Now I impart that wisdom to Shane Kidd and Acts chapter 2 about the lords business 1 8 witness in hopes that they get this acts 4:32 as long as I’m living Then 20:24 we legacy building Chorus: Gotta Pass it on as I walk the same path Of those before me who had the same task Building up Lives til I pass to the heavenlies Give my Heart to God Give my Life to a Legacy Verse: In the cycle of disciple I saw an insightful soul That sowed seeds of wisdom in my life to grow I wasn’t young but really needed life on life To truly live in Christ not just nice advice Know ‘em as Sho Baraka to me he’s Amisho Not just learning doctrine but to love people To have godly character not just godly content But having both coincide in my body constant Finding the tension to live life appropriate Enjoying happiness bound by God’s Holiness Walking in Freedom not swinging the pendulum Not living in vanity but like Christ synonym Sometimes I didn’t wanna have to roll with correction But it change my tune up like vocal inflections So live as a Lion, pray not be a Liar Turned my life up speak volumes for the Messiah With God as my witness with a great cloud of witness I can't move like sail boats when it's windless But gotta run with endurance as I carry the baton My eyes on the prize got my clarity strong Pouring into others so they can grow with good sense Follow me as I following Christ's foot prints I'm only worth following if I'm modeling Christ Cause He illuminates the path like hollgen lights Training up disciples not making clones Growing in community you can't be shaped alone We need men to be father and women to be mothers Growing together with our sisters and brothers So I listen the lessons from my teachers To able Training up the next set of leaders Won't take it lightly respect the call like a referee Give my heart to God and my life to a legacy

Study Break 03:36
Verse: Life is such a rush we never take it slow Don't wanna be ordinary so we play a role Being class acts as we live on the fast track Our souls traveling so we got our the bags packed Full of the baggage of the burdens we bare Loving what we doing is certianly clear Wearing our business like badge of honor Cause we feel important tho it gives us trauma We're tired and worn on a hot pursuit From task to task man we gotta move We're trying get it now and get it in gear Our money, our dreams, our people, our careers So we stay so anxious in our anticipation To be able make changes in our situations Cant enjoy the moment cause we chase the next In the fast lane praying we don't get wrecked Chorus: 2x Moving so fast Lord I need rest So many task, pray I pass the test Chorus: 2x Gotta be still and take a study break Gotta be still and take a study break Verse: I'm Christian with a mission I'm handling my business Got shows and got disciples on move to finish I'm getting in the word for my next engagement Need be at the church gotta hit the pavement Kicking it with my people, hanging with buddies and Grinding, hustling, hoime I'm studying I press to be impressive not enjoying present Caught in the past or the future it ain't pleasant Wanna studious be at the top the of class Gotta work with this time that I got in the dash Before reach death but maybe pushing closer Over working myself aint how I please Jehovah He wants me trust, slow down and be still Where I can't get it done I know that He will Meet my needs trying keep my soul being errant So I become like a child and trust in my parent Verse: Will we make change or be creatures of habbits Work straight through or abide in the sabbath Will we sit back, reflect and remember Or work through the fall like it's September Timber we fallin cause we burning out Moving like the world will turn you out Messing with success you'll be creeping with death Sleeping with both need to seek your rest Worked with work we're trying stay active Chill and do nothing is so unattractive But we need to be revived and restored Needing the rest of the Lord can't be ignored Resting is more than us sleeping fine But abiding in Christ to have peace of mind Being comforted by the Spirit will bless your life Many people sleep but true rest is in Christ

Chorus I Learn to Live Thru the Highs and Low And the Cons and Pros I Learn to Live Thru the Pains and the Rains And I found my Hope Verse 1 Young zealous had strong yearning Wanted to know more so started learning Started diving in the text I read for hours Y'all know the phrase knowledge is power Possibly potent so prep your potential Every enlightenment is essential Now you're ascending, now your a senior But stay fresh within your demeanor Life needs meaning we're all on a search Hunting to know more longing for worth Street dudes wanna know how to leave the block Pastors wanna know how to lead their flock Parents wanna know what's their child's future Is there hope, how will they manuver? How can you live if you never learn? To the right direction, man you better turn Verse 2 Man I gotta know this gotta take notice To Get anywhere in life gotta focus May have be still and sit in silence To get my freedom, to get my guidance Can't waste my life, can't waste time Let go of fear not scared to straight grind Learning from the lesson on this escapade Facing adversity won't just make the grade Grow from the pains let go what hurts you Build up your character and proser in virtue Talent gets just there, character will keep you This part of class homie please don't sleep through Not just getting knowledge but live it as wisdom Pass to pass this on so you can see real vision Such a wonderful sight the abundant life Can only be seen if you come to know Christ Bridge Do you wanna know what the right way is? Do you wanna know which way Christ is? Do you wanna forever exist? Then sit in your desk and Learn to Live Verse 3 Cause He exsist I'm a hedonist Took nails for us in His feet and wrist Cuz we were all born here still born babies Dead in our sins truly ill and crazy But through Christ we're finally alive Have Faith in Him in the true vine we thrive KnowIng God and His Son is Life forever Thru Him we live such a priceless treasure If you know one thing homie know the savior So you can savor God's unmeritted favor Don't get lost doctrine, don't get lost in your goals Or lost in yourself but to the cross take hold The power of His resurrection press to know Overcome the struggle through our blessed hope To find eternal life there's no alternative Knowing Christ is how you Learn to Live

about

My Debut Album, This version is shorter than the actual album. (I decided to cut some songs)

Critical Acclaim:
It is very refreshing to hear a conceptual Christian Hip Hop album that is not released by Lamp Mode. With 'Student of Life' Shane reminds believers we "Cant be some bookworms cuz our time will pass thru/ Gotta be active inside and outside the classroom." - K. Lenon Fenelus of Rapzilla.com

The Kidd does a great job of balancing what’s appealing with what’s important. Shane is no punch-line rhymer, but, like Q-Tip, he does a great job of smoothly progressing with thought and story and simple metaphors while still being interesting. - DJ Gravity of Holyculture.net
