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
Itchy fingered thugs and trigger-happy policemen/ Politicians profiting as the poverty rate increases/ Government full of scandal, steady they slander the decent/ The poverty-stricken contribute to filling up the precinct/ With everything from social problems to local bomb threats/ Everybody toting arsenals for they?re conflicts/ You got no solution, then you just part of the problem/ Adding to the causes, taking part in the nonsense/ Rappers on TV act like it?s cool to speak Ebonics/ While we get left behind and be increasingly jobless/ Knowing that their position?s given to one in a million/ Not everyone?s gonna to be a rapper, dawg, who you kidding?/ So extra extra, another rapper dead/ As I peeped the headline, all I think about?s what he said/ His album cover said that he was ?ready to die?/ I wonder if he kissed his family goodbye CHORUS Skies darken, harp on the fact someone?s gonna lose/ The good and bad get blitzed by the wicked roads they choose/ Read between the lines, better yet, between the pews/ Peep the rules, heed the clues, this is Ghetto Street News Father my heart goes out to those in the prisons/ Fully convinced that their life is no longer worth living/ Some continually eat fruit that?s forbidden/ What a tragedy for one to die unforgiven/ Most are blinded by the things that are shiny and glisten/ I?m trying to tell them it don?t work, but they never listen/ Children in kindergarten, hugging touching and kissing/ Cause mommy brings home a different man every single weekend/ Generations X and Y?s going off the deep end/ Shorty should be thinking bout college, but instead she be freaking/ Young men in bondage to the spirit of lust and pornography/ You cool if you pimping, corny if you practice monogamy/ And obviously getting married is out of the question/ Unless you?re a homosexual, beefing and protesting/ So extra extra, dig another grave/ Sexing raw without protection, she ended up catching AIDS CHORUS So much agony and spite, all this tragedy and strife/ Beef in the air is so thick that you could stab it with a knife/ Gritted my teeth when I saw ?The Passion of the Christ?/ Knowing one day I might have to pay the exact same price/ What your life like?/ Mines is real/ They hate me cause I blaze truth but my rhymes is real/ I don?t embrace fears, in the staircase I wasted years/ So many go for theirs, flipping coke as a career/ I moved cracks and weed with dangerous liaisons/ On some of the most notorious blocks you wouldn?t be safe on/ But I noticed that after I did the math for a few/ Slinging crack on avenues ain?t compatible with the map that God drew for me/ That?s why I really hope that you can see/ Nothing outside of Christ counts, rep it till my lights out/ So extra extra, another rapper dead/ Cause he wouldn?t accept the mark of the beast in his head
