After much prayer and fasting, the members of IAAAO knew that pursuing the band full-time was a necessary step. With this renewed vision and determination, the members hit the ground running. The Georgia May EP had debuted on July 7, 2007. At the beginning of 2009, they partnered with Come&Live!
In 2009, IAAAO put out a second EP. Originally slated to be a full-length album, the band spent countless hours writing new songs for the release. However, God seemed to have a different plan. āWe desperately wanted to put out a full length. We thought we had so much behind us,ā says Donny, front man and lead vocalist. āWe wrote about 12 songs; however, we just really didnāt feel strongly about most of them.ā They didnāt leave their fans high and dry though ā in May of 2009 The War I Wage EP was released and featured a collection of their newest songs.
IAAAO then toured that spring and summer in support of the new EP. Despite trials and opposition, the band persevered. During the summer, their bus broke down, leaving them stranded and unable to travel to shows. āThat was a really, really tough testing period,ā says Donny. āWhen youāre on the road, you get to know people on a different level and know that everyone has a different gift. One of my gifts has always been being an encourager and booster, the peacemaker. But when the bus broke down, it just completely severed ties with me and the Lord. I thought He had deserted us, let me down.ā A time of testing ensued as Donny struggled to rekindle his peace with God. āEventually, I realized that I had pre-conceived notions about God. When I was at one of my lowest points and talking with my wife, God put the phrase āthe roar and the whisperā into my mind. I quickly ran and wrote it down.ā
That phrase is now serving as the title and basis of their future full-length record, to be released June 1st 2010. āAt the time, I didnāt know what it meant,ā says Donny, ābut it speaks into our music. The roar and the whisper is such an embodiment of love. He whispers because He loves and heals and comforts us. But at the same time, He roars when He does extreme things to get our attention or to protect us.ā
The new album is exceptionally diverse, with musical elements ranging from ambient to electronic to hardcore. āThereās a vein of emotion that runs through this album and ties everything together.ā A subsequent tour will most likely be planned to support the release. Donny describes their live show as being full of āworship, reverence and fun. We try to make it as accessible as possible. We really donāt stand still a lot. Our show is charged by a connection with the Lord and lifting Him up. We try to make it a balance of worship and really good heavy music.ā
New Album coming in 2012.

I Am Alpha and Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still Confused how my liver don't drowned
Why I'm down every time I'm out
I hate people, I hate crowds
If there any beef I'd say it now
For I Let it stew i lay it out
Calling the cops you force a trial
Put the money up show the dollar
Fake Smiles you loose your fronts
Chance Of a L every time you stunt
You gotta be good it's more then luck
And I got both with my fingers up
Not giving a fuck while you giving up
Losers lose don't heat your cool
Land on your ass all black and blue
It's just me what crew
I got hands just 2
Don't confuse my kindness for weakness
Cuz I know That'll will leave you speechless
On the ground In pieces
Losing your features
You Catching the fangs
Something sheep never have
Don't follow me I don't know where I'm at
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not fake a flex
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not take it there
They hiding in plain sight in sheep's clothes
That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
And the worst thing you can do
Is mistake and make a move
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not fake a flex
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not take it there
They hiding in plain sight in sheep's clothes
That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
When the wolves show their teeth
When the wolves show their teeth
All you bitches lined up, best bet to step down
When the moons out, yeah you fuckin with my pack now
You're no cash cow, fame gained from a wack crowd
To me You're just sheep, bitch cower at Mack's howl
The Alpha of the game, blood drawn by the greats fangs
Quiver and shake just by mentioning the Greats name
Me and these niggas ain't the same yeah they too tame
To see the great is uncaged, nigga is unchained
Never backing down always going for the neck
Keep my canines sharp case you lacking in respect
If truly you're the best you should say it with your chest
Cause if meeting face to face then your name gets put to rest
Treat beats like IAMs make competitors You Was
Wanna toy with me then get ripped apart and chewed up
Leave the studio and witnesses say the dudes nuts
Cause I'm eating everywhere I go like a food truck
Always on the hunt, dudes bite like a new knife
Can't run away, you're my prey if the moods right
Ones on my side? I'm a take us all to new heights
Tonight gonna lose life in the moonlight
When I'm near by, all the weak simply can't sleep
The flock weeps while I turn em into dead meat
Rap Jon Snow, Dire Wolf that you can't beat
Six foot deep, if we meet, then it's defeat
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not fake a flex
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not take it there
They hiding in plain sight in sheep's clothes
That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
And the worst thing you can do

When the wolves show their teeth
You better not take it there
They hiding in plain sight in sheep's clothes
That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
When the wolves show their teeth
When the wolves show their teeth
Firm bite with a mean growl, yeah
Earned stripes where your team at now
Body everybody lots of bloody dead bodies
It's a hobby, I'm a kamikaze when i load up like a shotty
Not a fuckin ounce of melancholy
When i Leave 'em in my path with a mess so sloppy
Predatory ways when I'm seeking my victims
I ain't deprecating rage when you sneak up in my kingdom
They left me in a cage now I'm creepin' in the kitchen
Out on the prowl, you better not be up in my den, bitch
You heard right, I'm that motherfuckin' guy
Search lights as I'm lurking in the night
Kill em with venom, concealing every neurotoxin
I'm drillin', spilled in the blood stream til you feel boxed in
I'm locked in
Suboxone couldn't stop him from ingesting these lyrical atomics
Anamorphic when I'm releasing these flows
Killed like abortions but y'all ain't wanna believe in me though
When that moon is full don't fuck with me
When i smell blood i turn into a fuckin beast
All my dogs howlin' when it's time to feast
Watch out when them wolves show they teeth
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not fake a flex
When the wolves show their teeth
You better not take it there
They hiding in plain sight in sheep's clothes
That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
And the worst thing you can do

When the wolves show their teeth
The song "Wolves" by I Am Alpha and Omega is about the predatory and alpha nature of wolves. In the song, wolves are used as a metaphor for powerful and aggressive individuals who dominate their territory and strike fear in their enemies. The lyrics describe how the wolves howl every night, creating a sense of fear and dread. The incomprehensible line "Still Confused how my liver don't drowned" seems to express the singer's amazement at how he has managed to survive despite his wild and turbulent lifestyle. He hates people and crowds and is always ready to confront his enemies. He warns others not to fake a flex or try to take him down because when the wolves show their teeth, they mean business. The song paints a vivid picture of the singer as a fierce and unpredictable leader who is not to be messed with.
The imagery in the song reinforces this sense of danger and power. The reference to "sheep's clothes" suggests that the wolves are masters of disguise, able to blend in with their prey and strike when the time is right. The line "You're no cash cow, fame gained from a wack crowd" suggests that the singer is not interested in commercial success or pandering to a mainstream audience. He sees himself as a lone wolf, roaming free and unencumbered by the constraints of society. The song is a celebration of individualism and the power of the predator.
Line by Line Meaning
Every night the wolves howl
The wolves are active and ready to hunt every night
Still Confused how my liver don't drowned
I'm surprised that my excessive drinking hasn't killed me yet
Why I'm down every time I'm out
I always feel depressed whenever I leave my house
I hate people, I hate crowds
I despise being around others, especially large groups of people
If there any beef I'd say it now
I'll speak up and confront any issues I have with someone immediately
For I Let it stew i lay it out
I don't let things simmer, I address them head-on
Calling the cops you force a trial
Involving the authorities will only make things more complicated
Put the money up show the dollar
Prove your worth with actions, not just words
Talking that shit now back it up
If you're going to talk a big game, be able to follow through with your actions
Fake Smiles you loose your fronts
Your insincere smiles will make you lose your teeth
Chance Of a L every time you stunt
Bringing attention to yourself will increase the likelihood of failure and humiliation
You gotta be good it's more then luck
Success requires skill and effort, not just good fortune
And I got both with my fingers up
I have the necessary skill and attitude to succeed
Not giving a fuck while you giving up
I don't care about what others think while they're quitting
Losers lose don't heat your cool
Don't let the failures of others affect your own performance
Land on your ass all black and blue
Failure will leave you bruised and battered
It's just me what crew
I don't need a group to be successful, I'm enough on my own
I got hands just 2
I don't need an army, just my own two hands to get the job done
Don't confuse my kindness for weakness
Don't mistake my good nature for vulnerability
Cuz I know That'll will leave you speechless
My strength will leave you stunned and unable to respond
On the ground In pieces
You'll be defeated and broken on the ground
Losing your features
You'll be so badly beaten that your appearance will be altered
You Catching the fangs
You'll be the target of my aggressive and victorious attack
Something sheep never have
Sheep are meek and followers, lacking in the aggression and strength of a wolf
Don't follow me I don't know where I'm at
I don't need followers and sometimes don't even know where I'm going myself
When the wolves show their teeth
When I become aggressive and assertive, people should take me seriously

That ain't a smile boy they teeth showing
My enemies may appear friendly, but they're really revealing their aggressive intentions

The most foolish action you can take
Is mistake and make a move
Is to underestimate me and provoke my wrath

Your notoriety is based on the support of a weak and mediocre group of followers

I'll never retreat or back down from a challenge, always aiming for the win
Keep my canines sharp case you lacking in respect
I need to maintain my aggressive and assertive attitude in case others underestimate me
If truly you're the best you should say it with your chest

Can't run away, you're my prey if the moods right
You can't escape my aggression and pursuit, since I'll attack whenever I'm in the mood
Ones on my side? I'm a take us all to new heights
If I have allies, we'll elevate to even greater levels of success
Tonight gonna lose life in the moonlight
My opponents will meet their demise at night, especially during a full moon
When I'm near by, all the weak simply can't sleep
Those who are weak and fearful become unsettled and restless in my presence
The flock weeps while I turn em into dead meat
My aggression causes my competition to falter and fail, while I continue to succeed
Rap Jon Snow, Dire Wolf that you can't beat
I'm like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, a powerful and unstoppable wolf that can't be defeated
Six foot deep, if we meet, then it's defeat
If we face each other, you'll meet death and defeat at my hands

It's a hobby, I'm a kamikaze when i load up like a shotty
I'm addicted to the thrill of the hunt, willing to take risks and sacrifice everything for success

I'm actively pursuing success and will attack those who interfere with my efforts
You heard right, I'm that motherfuckin' guy
I'm the strongest and most formidable player
Search lights as I'm lurking in the night
My opponents are afraid of my aggressive pursuit and energy, even in the darkness
Kill em with venom, concealing every neurotoxin
I'll destroy my enemies with aggressive tactics and poisonous words
I'm drillin', spilled in the blood stream til you feel boxed in
My aggressive tactics and words will seep into your psyche, suffocating and overwhelming you
I'm locked in
I'm fully committed and focused on achieving victory
Suboxone couldn't stop him from ingesting these lyrical atomics
Even powerful drugs can't stop me from consuming and dominating with my aggressive and powerful lyrics
Anamorphic when I'm releasing these flows
My lyrics are powerful and transformative, taking on a new shape and form
Killed like abortions but y'all ain't wanna believe in me though
My style and aggression may be controversial and misunderstood, but I'm still achieving success
When that moon is full don't fuck with me
I'm especially dangerous and aggressive during a full moon
When i smell blood i turn into a fuckin beast
My aggression and energy is fueled by the blood of my fallen opponents
All my dogs howlin' when it's time to feast
My allies are just as aggressive and dangerous, howling with energy and ferocity during a victory feast
Watch out when them wolves show they teeth
Beware of my aggression and assertive attitude, which is signaled by the revealing of my teeth
