In 2002 Phat Chance Brandon Johnson left the group and they changed its name to stereo motion to reflect their new sound.
As of 2009 Justin Morgan played bass guitar in the ministry band of Liberty University. known as Exodus.
Enter into any high school in America and it won't take long to find five teenage boys that call themselves a band. Some have even had the chance to play for their youth group or at a birthday party. But, seldom will a band be roaming those halls that has shared the stage with such groups as Rebecca St. James, Big Tent Revival and NewSong even before signing a record contract.
The story began in 1995 in the living room of fifth grader Justin Morgan and his brother, third grader Dallas Morgan. Friend Bryan Nance joined the boys on occasion to play their instruments. Though they were not yet fused together as a band, the three practiced sporadically throughout the year and made their first attempts at song writing.
Over the next four years, an evolution took place as a group was slowly formed. Justin picked up the bass guitar and began taking lessons. Bryan and Dallas continued to polish their respective guitar and drum playing skills. Brent Lain was named lead guitarist and youth camp friend Brandon Johnson was handed the title of lead vocalist.
This group could still be found at the Morgans', but were more dedicated to polishing the band's pop/rock sound. After church each week, the five would invade the game room for three-hour blocks of time in order to write, arrange and practice songs.
Still not settled on a name, Justin suggested they call their newly formed band "Phat Chance." The group agreed that it spelled out the band's goals. "'Phat' is an acronym for 'Praising Him All Times' and it goes along with the purpose of the group," said Justin.
As could be assumed from the group's name, the self-penned lyrics are almost completely vertically focused. "Without You" is a prayer that says without God, his people are lonely and have nothing to live for in life. "He is what makes us live everyday, he's the reason we're alive," said Justin.
"Protection," derived largely from Psalms, is a song about God's protection over the lives of Christians. "Even through the struggles we've had, God has enlightened our spirits and helped us grow-and been our protection," said Bryan.
Realizing they needed assistance in further polishing their unique pop/rock sound, Phat Chance called on friend Scotty Wilbanks, formerly of NewSong. Wilbanks suggested new arrangements for existing songs and produced a five-song independent album for the group.
With a newly refined sound, Phat Chance was soon performing for their youth group, area churches and youth rallies. Thanks to Justin and Dallas' father, noted concert promoter Roy Morgan, the boys soon landed on the Summer Jam 2000 tour as the pre-concert band. "We would play for about 30 minutes outside of the venue for people that were waiting in line," said Justin.
The group was overwhelmed with the response they received from their short sets. Crowds loved their fusion of hooky pop and guitar driven rock. Their merchandise table was crowded night after night with new fans that had enjoyed their tight performance. "While people from home liked our music, these people didn't even know us and they still liked us," said a grateful Brandon. "It was great to be able to talk to and minister to all those people."
Roy Morgan soon began talking with record labels on behalf of the group. With a few phone calls, Phat Chance's five-song demo landed in the hands of Mark Stuart, lead singer of Audio Adrenaline and co-owner of Flicker Records. The group was quickly added to the label's roster.
The signing was a dream come true for the five. "I don't think the initial shock has set in yet," said Brandon. "Every guy dreams about being in a band."
In addition to finding a record deal just a year and a half after the final band line-up was set into place, the group was almost instantly welcomed onto the Summer Jam 2001 tour and Newsboys and Audio Adrenaline's Festival Con Dios. "My goal is to get out there and have fun and show people they can have fun worshipping God," said Brandon.
While the group's love for music and excitement for the band has led them to a place where they are allowed to tour the country as professional musicians, the reward has not come without a cost. This will be their last semester in the school system-Justin and Brent will spend their senior year being home-schooled by a tutor on the road, as will sophomores Bryan and Dallas. Recent high school graduate Brandon will put plans for college aside to focus on music.
"I'm excited about doing music, but sad that I won't see my friends as much," said Justin. "But, I've been called to be in the band and travel and I need to obey that, even if it means leaving my school my senior year. I have been given an opportunity a lot of people don't have."
Due to the heightened pressure from being in the public eye as a Christian band, each member of the group has chosen a pastor or church leader as an accountability partner. "At their age, it is very important that they are accountable to an adult," said Roy Morgan, now the group's manager. "They have been given a position of influence and Satan will attack them more now. We have put up a shield of faith and prayer around them to help guard them."
With the wider platform acquired through a record deal and national tours, the group agrees that the ministry potential for the band is limitless. "God's been opening doors for us to play our songs and people have responded even better than we thought they would," said Bryan. "But, even if we don't top charts, that's fine as long as God keeps blessing us and expanding our boundaries so we can bring glory to his name. That's all we want."
All Comes Down
Phat Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to make things work out
But I know they wouldn't last
I tried to walk on water, I tried it on my own
I tried to move the mountain, I can't I'm all alone
(Chorus)
So it comes down to You to come and rescue me
Now You're moving the mountains
And they're under my feet
You amaze me with everything You do
It all comes down to You
I washed every fortune, crushed by all my pride
But when I came back broken
Your arms were open wide
I tried to walk on water, I tried it on my own
I tried to move the mountain, I can't I'm all alone
Repeat chorus
The lyrics to Phat Chance's song "All Comes Down" are about the struggle of trying to do things on our own and failing, only to realize that we need the help of a higher power to succeed. The singer admits to attempting to do everything his own way and make things work out, but ultimately failing because he couldn't do it alone. He even tried to perform miracles like walking on water and moving mountains, but couldn't because he was all alone. The chorus acknowledges that he needs the help of God to rescue him, as God has the power to do the impossible like walking on water and parting the sea. The singer is amazed by God's abilities and realizes that everything he does comes down to God.
The lyrics are a powerful reminder that we cannot do everything on our own and need help from a higher power. They show that no matter how hard we try, we will inevitably fail without the help of God. The song is an emotional plea for help and a celebration of the power of God.

NBA Youngboy - HTAFL Lyrics
[Intro]
And I hope, I hope everyone
Everyone I done been in a relationship with
Find someone that make them more happy than I ever could
Even though I know you bullshittin' and you don't, you be like, yeah, you love me
Slatt
[Chorus]
When it all come down, I been here for too long, yeah
And I still can't believe that I done moved on, yeah
Ain't no sign of love, it done ran away without no trace
I ain't for you no more, you ain't gotta come back, it's too late
[Verse 1]
You ain't gotta move on, I done found another girl who ain't mad 'bout the names on my face
I guess my home wasn't a home and I'll accept the fact if another man up in my place
You ain't gotta try to fix it, I ain't worried 'bout it
And if you looking for your shit, it's on the curb 'bout it
By the water meter, way off the meter
Your love is plain, tell that ho that I don't need her
Told me to stop, but drank still in my liter
Hope when you come that I be gone, don't wanna see you
Forever I stay the same, but I can't no more
Forever ducking your presence until I can't no more
And I remain the same with a big sack, yeah
Said don't buy no car, but I done bought a big 'Bach, yeah
They say my ex been looking for me, where she at? Yeah
Tell her, "Leave a message," I'ma call that bitch back, yeah
And bae, I love you
Never did you wrong, but I'ma leave like a thug do
And I'm regretting that the fact that I even touched you
Even though you said fuck me, it's never fuck you, yeah (It ain't never fuck you, bae)
[Chorus]
When it all come down, I been here for too long, yeah
And I still can't believe that I done moved on, yeah
Ain't no sign of love, it done ran away without no trace
I ain't for you no more, you ain't gotta come back, it's too late
[Post-Chorus]
I put my life on the line, I ain't never give a fuck what no anybody had to say
And if them people try to come and pick me up, tell them bitches 'fore they come in here, I'm blowin' out my brains
[Verse 2]
'Cause I don't know how I ever let pride come in here and catch me slippin'
I always knew that you would leave any day, how the fuck I ever put myself in this position?
Fake friends follow you, you follow back
But I been knew you was like that
I don't wanna see it, so I block you, I don't care 'bout that (Ayy, look, man, the hook tell it all)
[Outro]
When it all come down, I been here for too long, yeah
And I still can't believe that I done moved on, yeah
Ain't no sign of love, it done ran away without no trace
I ain't for you no more, you ain't gotta come back, it's too late
[Post-Chorus]
I put my life on the line, I ain't never give a fuck what no anybody had to say
And if them people try to come and pick me up, tell them bitches 'fore they come in here, I'm blowin' out my brains
I'd do life for you, why the fuck can I see that you wouldn't do the same?
[Outro]
And I don't care about it bein' off or on track (I'm a street nigga, how the fuck?)
