    ALONG CAME YOU The Raw and Uncut Version by Official 1SPfeatured in his sophomore book,'Act Like You Know II: Extradition x Epigraphs'https://amzn.to/49sHUBjSo many setbacks to where forgiveness leads to tears,Drowning in the sea of my own resilience from my fears;Starting over and over again never was as easy as it seems,Been with a few liars living double lives and all those things.In the midst of all my doubt and utter loss of words,I still prayed for the call of my heart and soul to be heard; Refusing to make a mistake twice by taking the same road,I waited for a sign that I will have someone to have and hold. Along came you,You took over my feelings and you conquered my thoughts like crazy;Along came you,You invaded my dreams and transcended my image of perfection in a lady;Along came you,And I give the Good Lord praiseBecause baby you gave her a face,Along came you.Had my share of getting abused and accused me for it,Been with the high maintenance ones everybody forgetsA couple of cheaters and smooth-talking players,But there’s nothing to me like a queen with some layers.Every man has a dream of the perfect woman,How she dresses, smiles, and speaks are all uncommon;After all highs and lows one person answered my call,And as far as that dream of mine goes, one girl has it all.Along came you,You took over my feelings and you conquered my thoughts like crazy;Along came you,You invaded my dreams and transcended my image of perfection in a lady;Along came you,And I give the Good Lord praiseBecause baby you gave her a face,Along came you.ALONG CAME YOU is a testimony of Official 1SP as he survives betrayal, disappointment, and emotional exhaustion — yet still chooses hope. ALONG CAME YOU traces a journey from heartbreak to divine alignment, showing how one woman becomes the answer to prayers that Official 1SP is almost too tired to pray.1. The Wounds Are Real, Not ExaggeratedOfficial 1SP opens with the weight of repeated setbacks — liars, double lives, emotional abuse, false starts. These aren’t just “bad relationships”; they’re experiences that reshape his trust and self-worth. ALONG CAME YOU acknowledges that pain without bitterness, which makes the transformation later feel earned.2. Faith Is the Bridge Between Hurt and HealingOfficial 1SP frames his longing through prayer, patience, and discernment. ALONG CAME YOU eludes that love isn’t random — it’s guided, protected, and revealed in due time. That spiritual thread gives ALONG CAME YOU its backbone.3. “ALONG CAME YOU” Is the Emotional PivotThe refrain works like a chorus in a soul record. It’s the moment the storm breaks. It’s the moment the heart unclenches. It’s the moment Official 1SP stops just surviving and finally starts living again.Each repetition deepens the impact: - She conquers your thoughts - She invades your dreams - She becomes the face of the woman Official 1SP prays for It’s not lust. It’s recognition.4. Official 1SP Redefines Perfection Through Depth, Not SurfaceOfficial 1SP contrasts past partners — high maintenance, cheaters, players — with a woman who has “layers.” That line is important:It shows maturity. It shows Official 1SP is not chasing an image; he's honoring substance.5. The Ending Confirms the Theme: One Woman Answered the CallALONG CAME YOU closes by tying everything together: - The dream of the perfect woman - The long road of heartbreak - The prayer for something real - The arrival of someone who embodies it all ALONG CAME YOU’s a love poem, but it’s also a redemption poem.Overall"ALONG CAME YOU” is a spiritual love testimony — a man rising from emotional wreckage and recognizing the woman who feels heaven-sent. It’s vulnerable, masculine, grateful, and deeply intentional.

    ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM

    The Raw and Uncut Version

    by Official 1SP

    featured in his third book,

    'Act Like You Know III: Verdict / Variorums'

    https://amzn.to/3bT8msk


    I can do all things

    Through Him that strengthens me

    I can do all things

    Through Him in which I believe.


    Trials are coming at us at full speed,

    Trying to end what we built for greed,

    Every day is a battle and we are so jaded,

    But the Spirit says victory's ours as we made it.


    Tribulations are lining up one by one,

    Fighting to take us like all works are undone,

    Each second feels like an eternity altogether,

    But our souls tell us the Lord fills our call forever.


    I can do all things

    Through Him that strengthens me

    I can do all things

    Through Him in which I believe.


    Trouble may come from every whichawhere

    Only making favor hard to see right there;

    Every time we do right by others in this life,

    There’s a Messiah who heals us by His strife.


    Temptations are arriving in different places,

    Trying to deceive us of the power of graces;

    Each moment we pray for strength to endure,

    Strength is something the Lord just ensures.


    I can do all things

    Through Him that strengthens me

    I can do all things

    Through Him in which I believe.





    1. The Anchor (The Refrain)


    ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM uses the famous verse Philippians 4:13 ("I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me") as its structural backbone. By repeating this chorus, Official 1SP creates a "safe harbor" to return to after describing the chaos of the verses. It shifts the focus from human effort to divine empowerment.


    2. The "Four Ts" of Conflict


    The middle stanzas systematically address the external and internal pressures of life, all starting with the letter T:


    Trials:

    Fast-moving external challenges.


    Tribulations:

    The heavy, long-term weights that make "seconds feel like eternity."


    Trouble:

    The confusing, "every whichawhere" obstacles that cloud one's vision.


    Temptations:

    The deceptive lures that try to make a person forget their spiritual "graces."


    3. The Contrast of Reality vs. Spirit


    The Official 1SP uses a consistent "Problem/Solution" structure in each stanza:


    The Problem:

    Greed, being "jaded," feeling "undone," and the "strife" of life.


    The Spiritual Response:

    ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM counters these with "The Spirit," "the Soul," and "the Messiah." It suggests that while the physical world is exhausting, the spiritual world provides the endurance needed to survive it.


    4. Style and Tone


    Direct & Accessible:

    The language is simple and conversational (using words like "whichawhere"), making it feel personal rather than academic.


    Rhyme Scheme:

    It mostly follows an AABB or ABCB pattern, which gives it a steady, marching beat. This rhythm mirrors the theme of "endurance"—it keeps moving forward despite the obstacles mentioned.


    Overall Message:

    ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM’s a poem about spiritual resilience. It doesn’t deny that life is a "battle" or that people get "jaded"; instead, it argues that the only way to remain "undone" is to rely on a power source outside of oneself.

    AS I PARTAKE IN COMMUNION

    The Raw and Uncut Version

    by Official 1SP

    featured in his third book,

    'Act Like You Know III: Verdict / Variorums'

    https://amzn.to/3bT8msk



    I can still praise all night at a revival,

    Praising the good Lord like I’m in a recital;

    I can still pray a prayer that leads you tears,

    Praying in Spirit and Truth,

    Scriptures here and there and a drop appears.


    But as I partake in communion,

    Lord, the Spirit consumes the human;

    Breaking up the bread unleavened and blessing it

    Like You did and called it Your Blood, so I’m professing it;

    Juice like wine with lips pressed against a cup,

    Giving thanks for grace cleansing my sins in Your Blood;

    And I remember how mercy was proven,

    As I partake in communion;

    As I partake in communion,

    Communion, Communion...

    As I take communion.


    I can still evangelize on the corner of streets,

    Evangelizing purpose and what favor means to me;

    I can still study the scriptures with inmates in prisons,

    Studying to show myself approved,

    With weekenders, lifers, and whoever speaks and listens.


    But as I partake in communion,

    Lord, the Spirit consumes the human;

    Breaking up the bread unleavened and blessing it

    Like You did and called it Your body, so I’m professing it;

    Juice like wine with lips pressed against a cup,

    Giving thanks for grace cleansing my sins in Your Blood;

    And I remember how mercy was proven,

    As I partake in communion;

    As I partake in communion,

    Communion, Communion...

    As I take communion.



    AS I PARTAKE IN COMMUNION explores the difference between religious performance and spiritual intimacy. It’s built on a "Performative vs. Personal" structure that highlights how Official 1SP views their faith.



    1. The Contrast of "Doing" vs. "Being"

    The stanzas follow a repetitive pattern:


    Stanzas 1 & 3 (The Work):


    Official 1SP lists outward religious activities—praising at revivals, praying, evangelizing, and prison ministry. These are active, public, and involve "skill" (comparing a prayer to a "recital").


    Stanzas 2 & 4 (The Connection):


    These serve as the chorus. They shift from the busy "streets" and "prisons" to the quiet, internal moment of the Eucharist.


    2. "The Spirit Consumes the Human"


    This is the Official 1SP's emotional core. It suggests that while Official 1SP can perform rituals (preaching, studying), it is only during Communion that their ego or "human" self fades away. It’s a transition from acting for God to being filled by God.


    3. Sensory Imagery


    AS I PARTAKE IN COMMUNION uses physical details to ground the spiritual experience:


    Touch/Action:


    "Breaking up the bread," "lips pressed against a cup."


    Fluidity:


    The mentions of "tears," "juice," and "blood" emphasize a cleansing or washing away of the "human" to make room for the "Spirit."


    4. Tone and Theme


    The tone is one of humility. By admitting they can "pray a prayer that leads to tears" (a sign of religious talent), Official 1SP acknowledges the danger of pride in ministry. Communion acts as the "great equalizer"—a moment where Official 1SP is no longer a teacher or a leader, but simply a recipient of "grace" and "mercy."


    The Bottom Line:


    AS I PARTAKE IN COMMUNION suggests that external ministry is good, but the "Communion"—the direct, quiet union with the Divine—is where the true transformation happens.
