But a Christian movng in pride is just a lie and a fact
My new skills feel like I'm ancient find the art in the fact
And people trying catch me say I'm where they used to be at
I find it funny when they tell me that I used to be whack
How you better then me but still where I used to be at
Naw let me remain humble
I'm never far from a stumble
I was taught that that was a fumble Every day is a new day in a brand new year
I thank God for the opportunity to just be here
See my future was uncertain Its ironic to even hear
My record label is vision my focus was never clear
Notice I said was
Now I'm back with a vengeance, Revenge belongs to the Lord
Well that's cool cause I said
Averagers
Bible granting me power
Bringing enemies fear
I won't get capped in America wielding this Mjolnir
Bible's the bigger hammer
I'll never be Low Key
I kick on high level
The devil can't stand me
Me
Me
Me
The devil can't stand me
I want to be a star Lord
Someone that they can Marvel at, Look me up on SHAZAM
I felt big when said that
I
Think I can make it in DC
They must think I been washed a ton the way they look pass me
Exalted in due time is how I'd rather be
So high that God is the only one to overlook me
Speaking of which I'm humbled by times I was overlooked
Keep thanking God for the favor til the day that I'm overbooked
What happened
Bewildered and frustrated like why they never remember me
A teen titan clawing scratching and biting
I'm a beast boy
The one that they were raven about
I heard stars without fire might be robin ya house
But not me tho I'm a hero for Gods people
Remain humble
They attacking my ego
Now that I'm speaking feelings
I hope my cover ain't blown
I hope I'm not Dick Grayson when Wayne ain't pick up the phone
This place is my Blue Haven
But God them Heroes is gone
Didn't think that I would return but it feels good to be home
Home
Home
Home
ROC CITY STAND UP
The Hero is back
They won't acknowledge me as such but I'm cool with that
Withholding the accolades
Limit radio plays
Call other artists in advance but book me show date
This ain't the Ron that we know
He never would complain
Well I'm glad you paid attention Cause now I can make it plain
I just wanted to be
Ron wanted to be an artist
The Hero wanted you saved
Ron wanted to be a star
The Hero wanted you saved
Ron wanted to be saved
The Hero finally won
Them old feelings may creep up
But through Jesus Christ they are done
United We Stand
Divided we fall
The devil may keep building
The deadpool we breaking the fourth wall
The song “United” by T.G. is a rap that talks about his journey as a Christian rapper. At the beginning of the song, he talks about his pride and how he is transitioning from being a prideful Christian rapper to being an ancient one. He also talks about how some people think he is still at a level that he used to be, which he finds funny. He admits that he still stumbles but doesn't wait for the ball to drop because he learned that would lead to a fumble. Every new day is an opportunity for him to thank God and move forward because his record label is his vision, and his focus was never clear.
T.G. then talks about the power he gets from reading the Bible, how he is never afraid of his enemies, and how the devil can't stand him. He wants to be a star and get people to marvel at him. However, he remains humble and is frustrated that people overlook him. He says he's like "Beast Boy" clawing and scratching his way to the top. T.G. then acknowledges that he may have been forgotten in the past, but he remains hopeful that he will be overbooked in the future. He ends the song by highlighting the importance of unity and how the devil may keep building but we will continue breaking the fourth wall.

As Ron, I also wanted to be saved, but as the Hero, I've achieved that goal
Them old feelings may creep up
Old emotions might start to arise again
But through Jesus Christ they are done

United We Stand Divided we fall
We are stronger together and weaker when we are divided
The devil may keep building The deadpool we breaking the fourth wall
The devil may try to tear us down, but we can overcome it by breaking down the barrier between ourselves and God

You and I
You and I
Living together
Loving forever
At our distance
Another for instance
United United
You become me
And I become you
She is she
And she is you too
United United
A corresponding game to play
A special way for us to stay
United United
It's a lie
It's the same
It's a sigh
It's a game
It's the why
It's the where and the when we're United
United
You and I You and I
United United
Four faces blending blending blending
Neverending
Our places sending
Shades of evening
You and I You and I United United
Oceans between us
Sky between us
Land between us
Fire between us
We're United United

I'm a little bit ashamed that I didn't buy some Throbbing Gristle.
I really like it a lot.
Maybe they lack the X factor I need to ignite me to race out and buy it.
I have a lot of RESIDENTS albums.
I have Reproduction & Travelogue which are Human Leagues first 2 albums.
John Foxx' METAMATIC album is electronic genius.
The BIG SCIENCE album by Laurie Anderson is top quality electronic intellectualism.
As a few people have mentioned in this comment section, Throbbing Gristle were ahead of their time.
They were pioneers that broke new ground for others to either come through behind them or come through together simultaneously.
