Get Saved Music.
Pronounced: (Love awe see air) Lavoisier is on a mission to present God to the world in a way that many have never heard of before. Armed with the talent to communicate through rap music, Lavoisier chooses to combine God with the very music that seeks to dethrone Him: Hip-hop. While Lavoisier has been influenced by some of the same things (gangs, drugs, poverty) as many other rap artists, his music goes against the grain of the things Hip-hop music has been increasingly associated with over the years. One of the things Lavoisier strives to do through his music is provide a very realistic portrait of how different people see God, how God sees us, and what its like dealing with the realities of everyday life. Through openness and honesty, Lavoisier is able to connect with a wide range of audiences and makes it okay for listeners to be real with themselves and as a result has moved approximately 5,000 copies of his debut album “I think Hip-hop music doesn’t reflect enough of the human element that’s common to all people. I understand that selling drugs is a part of life and for some it may be all they know, but the human experience doesn’t discriminate. Certain things are common to male and female, young and old, rich and poor, black and white. Hip-hop music doesn't always make it O.K to be a human being complete with feelings, emotions and insecurities. That's not the reality though. Hopefully I can make a change for the better.” -Lavoisier Along with performing at venues in various states and the founding of an independent record company, Lavoisier is frequently called upon to speak at jails, schools, detention centers and churches, to bring an unreached generation the good news about Jesus Christ. Lavoisier has also worked as an educator, being commissioned to teach classes, hold seminars, and give lectures to groups of young people on the influences of hip-hop culture.

Lyrics
Ayo I write for those in bondage to poverty and depravity/Although physically free, they’re still a slave to iniquity/I write for baby mothers abandoned by baby daddies/Children who got no fathers thinking they’ll never be happy/I write for cold hearted byproducts of the environment that need love/Simply because they never were hugged/I write for gangsters, most of them are just insecure/ I write for grown men, most of them are so immature/ I write for the rich and comfortable, and the struggling poor/ Write for the ghetto heavenly churches with open doors/ Write for mayors and governors, deacons, bishops, and priests/ I write for the firefighters, I even write for police/ Write for blacks and the whites and everything in between/ I write for racists and bigots so they can see what I mean/ And those assaulted and battered, molested and neglected/ For those that swallow the truth but just can’t seem to digest it CHORUS: Yo I write the songs that make the whole world sing And I write the songs of love and special things And I write the songs that make the young thugs cry And I write the songs that make you kiss the sky Ayo I write for television, hoping for global exposure/ I write for the last days, knowing soon that it’ll be over/ I write for mothers and fathers, trying to raise up their children in best way they know how to/ To let them know that I feel them/ I write for the alienated, feeling extra terrestrial/ I write for those who are living sinfully homosexual/ I write for those who kill, and the mentally ill/ When the world gives up on you, I’ll be loving you still/ I write for all my supporters, y’all be getting me hype/ I write for the radio, guess I’m the stereotype/ I write for liars and thieves/ Unbelievers and atheists/ Persecutors and blasphemers, adulterers and fornicators/ I write for child molesters and serial rapists/ I write for the worst on the earth, cause God is trying to save them/ Write for the cursed on the earth, cause God is trying to save them/ I write for the scum of the earth, cause God is trying to save them CHORUS I write for juvenile delinquents, and dirty ghetto degenerates/ Crack and heroine addicts, and all the welfare recipients/ And those that lost a loved one to tragic horrible accidents, that are still asking God/ “Why did it have to happen to me?”/ I write for rappers I grew up listening to/ And now that it’s my turn, I hope you’re listening too/ I write for those who can’t love/ Those with low self-esteem/ Those who don’t think they’re beautiful, trust, I know what it do to you/ I write for under-privileged people without a voice/ And street hustlers who feel like they don’t have a choice/ I write to be heard, write to be felt, write to just touch/ Some individuals listening to me thats had enough/ I write for those who are tired and weary so they can feel me/ And know that somebody truly cares about them sincerely/ I write for the fools, write for the idiots and the dummies/ But the one thing I don’t write for is money CHORUS
