I first heard G-Vo's music from my roomate, Liz (since they both went to UCLA), and later had the pleasure to see him in concert. This guy's lyrics are what moves me most.
One of my current favorite songs from him is called "The Road Is Easy"...here's some of the lyrics that I feel are most harsh...but truthful at times. And don't be misunderstood...G-Vo is Christian...but these are some things about the Christian faith that are not so highly looked upon. G-Vo challenges his audiences to really live a holistic life, a life dedicated to serving God, and a life that is more Christ-like than world-like!!!
The significance of being significant / is being of significance in your brother's predicament / Pluralistic, double minded, relativistic/ Bands of misfits, hermits, the world's biggest cynic / You Christians are actually nothing like your Christ / Cuz you preach about faith but live by western sight / It's the third world perspective, Irrespective of your feelings / Why do pastors get paid 3 million for their healings / Corporate America, yo we worship the flag / Plus a woman's worth is based on the worth of her bag / Me, my father, mother, brother, all cramped in one bed / But when you're poor you can easily put God ahead / The road was easy up until I saw a man on the ground / I tried my best to walk by him, walk directly around / I looked back and saw the man being helped by Samaritan / And realized my faith was krap, filthy religion

This is probably my favorite G-Vo song, there was a time not too long ago that I listened to it daily as part of my worship. I especially like this part, "look at how they ridicule me they wanna take me down. All they wanna do is talk mess, wanna change my sound. But I'm gonna stay the course and do just what I'm called to do. No matter what they say I'm gonna keep it clean and keep it true. But this road is easy when the Lord's behind every step you take and every move you make."
