Courtney Lamar Hathorn A.K.A “Full Court Press” is an upcoming artist in the genre of Christian Hip Hop. The term full court press is a defensive, aggressive measure against an enemy where a team covers their enemy not just their man on the court; I vow to do so as a charge from God to occupy the land, understanding that the enemy is never resting, calling me to be just as diligent.
Full Court Press was born and raised in the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio. where there is an abundance of love and hate; he experienced his fair share of both while living there. Spending his first 18 years of life in Cleveland before leaving for college at the University of Toledo was nothing less than a continual miracle. It was by the grace of God alone that he escaped death and prison on numerous occasions. “Full Court Press can very well be the bridge between the secular and Christian community” as founder of Go Digital Studios puts it.
Full Court Press is currently preparing for the release of his debut project “Eternal Philanthropist” With this project, he makes it clear the true intentions of his heart, bridging any and all communities together using the word of God with energy and authority that Christian Hip Hop may have yet to even experience.
Here is a single from his forthcoming project titled ”Whatever it is”. Listen to it below;
Lyrics
(Hook 2x)
I say whatever it is
You can give it to God!
I said what ever it is you can give it to God, ain’t no problem to big
I say whatever it is
You can give it to God!
I said what ever it is you can give it to God, ain’t no problem to big
(Verse 1)
I’m about that alpha and omega
The ending and beginning
I’m talking bout my God for those who didn’t catch the meaning.
There’s been foolishness a lot, well a lot that I been seeing,
Time to rally up the saints Cus we really need the pleading
So I cry out! Time out!
Tryna take Christ out the institutions when we really need em!
We moving away from God and oh it’s so grieving Cus this standard in my heart got His holiness I’m seeking.
God be a lamp but they treat Him like a genie.. Took a moment Cus oh it’s so deamining
Focused on our own, oh we so greedy, they don’t seem to realize our influence is depleting
Visionary, I’m like Joseph with the dreaming,
Cities can be won I thank my bishop for the teaching,
Was laying with the devil, on my Lord
Yea I was cheating, now I be obedient to where the spirit wanna lead me!
(Hook 2x)
I say whatever it is
You can give it to God!
I said what ever it is you can give it to God, ain’t no problem to big
(Verse 2)
I ain’t gone dog you if you don’t come and kick it with the cat,
Cus it’s not about the likes it’s yo living where it’s at
Faith is said to come by hearing, so I spit it in my raps,
You can catch it in a verse yeah I hit them with the facts
Cus the things that they’ve heard, leave em like used pampers
Have em outta step like new dancers
Something gotta change, man we need a new handle
God the only one that make it rain dear you prancer
Gotta be a Rudolph, who was socially trampled
And lead then with the light, meaning not with the antler
I’m talking about Christ if you ain’t know the answer
Man I gotta give em Word and be some kimo to this cancer
Peter hoped up out that boat, water walking steadily,
until that world had made him doubt, Faith he started failing It
Let me break it down a bit see what this lesson telling me,
To focus on my God,
forget what the world’s message is
I horse around and fly on them,
feeling like a pegasus,
horse around with my God you do not know what deadly is,
Why they do it,
Denying the necessity
But Jesus Christ is coming back do you know what get ready iiiiiss!
(Hook 2x)
I say whatever it is
You can give it to God!
I said what ever it is you can give it to God, ain’t no problem to big
(Verse 3)
Psych major, I’m seeing they being major psyched,
Putting down the title denying Him for then major likes.
I’m praying for that boldness to show em that I was made in Christ
Any means necessary even if it take my life
Who thinking twice
I look around and see a lot of then folding like aw man this can’t be right.
Get left in Hell unless you let God make it right.
Eating this world but for me it ain’t tasting right
But I know what I need to do,
Ash catch em wanna get em all, lemme get a peek at chu/pikachu
And Pokemon/poke him on/ poke his mind until he see it thru.
Yea get em to the church, cus he bugging like beetle juice
How you on the team, if you don’t wanna and see the crew?
I mean how? if you dont wanna come and meet with truth?
(Adlib) huh
Cus they don’t appreciate it
So they coming up short, like abbreviations
Sober minded, or I be inebriated,
Which it ain’t really nothing but fancy fancy for be mistaken,
Repentance only thing that can save em
After judgment for ever it be a blazing,
(Adlib) ooooh
I’m like ouch just thinking…….. But you can do what that hook saying..
Copy that
I’m like ouch just thinking…….. But you can do what that hook saying
(Hook 2x)
I say whatever it is
You can give it to God!
I said what ever it is you can give it to God, ain’t no problem to big
