an open letter to whoever's listening

greetings

from us to you

pull up a chair

there's a few things we'd like to share

an honest open letter

we address it to whoever

wherever

whenever

you get a chance to listen to what we've put together

and just to be clear

what's in your ears

it's a result of blood

sweat

and tears

now that we're here

you can hear what we got to say

and the way we say it

the best way to explain it was to make this and just play it

ah

this is a little bit love letter and a little bit of incentive

signed

sealed

and delivered from it sender

with a p.s. of encouragement depending on whether you receive it in

the medium for which it's intended

dear whoever has ears to hear listen and pay attention

we write to make mention of the gospel and the resurrection

exist with the tension of trying to creatively display creation

fall

and redemption

contextualize and set the context for the text that's divinely inspired

maybe music isn't the best medium for making much of the messiah

but for courtland urbano

braille

and i

there's really is not a lot of options

only poor penmanship trying to paint pictures of proper doctrine

make you logically stop and think doxologically

cause honestly

a little bit of music and theology never really hurt anybody

and it's probably better for your soul

if you ingest the various words letters and tones

as we speak psalms

and write these songs

and sing praises to god

and him alone

who sits on throne who has shown great grace

and much mercy to his own

and we don't write to get a reaction as highly regarded rappers

that was never the purpose when we permeate these pages with permanent statements

our determination is a response to our god who loved us first

immersed in the word of life so we write from the heart

and give it all that we got

the lord ordained that we would make this before the earth's foundation was laid

so we lay it down for your benefit

anonymous audience get your audio fix

medicine for the sick

i used to be an optimist

now the gospel is the central message i'm rocking with

embedded in every line that we spit

music is a platform

a tool we use to gain influence

but we're more concerned with discipleship than ciphering

engage the culture with the truth from the scriptures

when it hits ya the holy spirit bears witness

and the proper exposition can switch up your disposition

for the downtrodden and bound up

losing balance

feeling calloused

we empathize with your challenges and pray this might be a catalyst

for spiritual development

so you can worship god more truthfully

servants of the messiah

yours truly

beautiful eulogy
