"Who I Am" by Sam Ock is from his most recent EP release, "Pastel." It is a soulful introspection into the struggle of finding authentic identity and eternal purpose.
Pastel is a collection of songs in late 2018 by hip-hop/jazz songwriter Sam Ock. The project is a canvas that displays the soft, subtle and light hues which veil a sensitive, pain-ridden soul searching for solace. The gentle, jazz-laced chords and crooning vocals display an idyllic scene while Ock’s honest and direct lyrics lace the work with a sense of deep longing. Pastel is catharsis for the hurting and searching listener.
Who I Am by Sam Ock
I get up, I get down
It's the rhythm of my battle drum
I get up, I get down
I'mma struggle 'til the day is done
Every voice telling me that I am thinking wrong
Change ya tune, change ya chord, sing that other song
Little brother turned into an insecure man
Any type of criticism make me into "lesser than"
Never believed I could be right or be me
What is me? They just tell me what I'm s'pposed to be
Gotta be a brand, but I never really owned it for myself
Now I'm nebulous, I'm tired of it, this stress my mental health
see my chaos and I know I gotta speak into it
I see my apathy I know I gotta battle ruthless
I know my Father look at me and He is well pleased
the problem is that I aint good enough for me
maybe the best thing for me is You
I know the pain will show the truth
maybe I am beautiful to You
*I just want to be myself
I just want to be myself today
Wanna know just who I am
I need you to help me understand
**Who I am is beloved
Who I am is more than what I’ve done
Who I am is worthy of some lovin
Who I am has really just begun
Who I am is a treasure
Who I am is royalty in blood
Who I am is a warrior for the kingdom
Who I am has really just begun
Nobody will know that I’m speaking of my sweat and blood
Only hear they talk of blessings coming down above
When my praises go up the blessing come down
But my blessing is to keep me low to the ground
The blessing is needing more love than I ever knew
The blessing is knowing there’s nothing I can really do
The blessing is pain, adversity, my own addiction
Cause if I didn’t cry in need then would I really listen ?
The blessing is losing illusion of my control
The blessing is being betrayed and you bleed slow
The blessing is to feel the discipline of better love
There's better love than self love, lovin' from the One
The only One who can take all this craziness
The only Father good enough for all the fatherless
I know that my pain it clarifies the truth
that maybe I am beautiful to You

Hey guys,
Here is the official music video for Rest Easy, the title track for my EP out now!!
Rest Easy by Sam Ock
i know that im not alone, i see the bags/ under everyones eyes, like a bunch of white flags/
ready to just give up, had just about enough/ why is living so though, why did i choose to drink this cup?/
this love that im searching everyday for/ from above, hear me uttering a save LORD!/
cause my body and my spirit and my crowns/ every single thing seems heavy on my brow/
and i sweat it, i want to shed it/ i want to go back in time and make edits/
i carry scars on my heart, but i just let it/ fester into anger, impatience imbedded/
but i read it in the Good Book, it said/ come to me all who are weary and i will give rest/
so i believe that my burdens will leave me/ one day, but til then, ill rest easy
**oh, if i cant see whats in front of me
ill take Your hand and ill rest easy
i wonder how many songs use the same progression as this/
i wonder how many times lovers were betrayed with a kiss/
a simple sentiment supersedes sentience and single souls sense the Supernaturals salience/
and daily im affected by my weary mind/ many times i forget that love came down forgave my crimes/
i believe that You are my Shepherd tried and true/ when i cant see in front of me i put my trust in You/
during the winter dark and cold and these summer nights/
ill lay my burdens on the One who took my every plight/
and gave me wings so i could see the sky and take flight/
and perspectives from above show me my worries are trite/
i gaze upon the colors of the deep blue/ the burning warm glow of the sunsets truth/
i let the air fill my lungs, and breathe out, and for a moment rest easy, singing out
**
if only it were easy to believe that in Your hands lies my security
but still i choose to persevere and try for the Author and Perfector of my life
**
Thanks so much for your support & God bless! :] Sam")

**Life goes on
But it ownt be long
til you and me
find new sights to see
[Sam Ock]
Mr. Sandman, give me a dream
of my life in harmony, living out peace
but I know in reality, guided by my faculties,
there is but tragedy of apathy inside of me...
Theres a battle within while Im livin
to reconcile my passion and purpose with what Im given
cause Im compelled to follow the man Christ,
but why does life seem so much better in short sight?
If only they knew who the real me was...
walkin a thin line of hypocrisy and love
Im being ambiguous, so Ill say it out straight,
LORD, I want to live out the things that You say!
For You paid in blood for the things I deserved
and from what Ive seen, Youre pretty true to Your WORD, so...
I want to set a standard of light shinin
cause life goes on in HIS good timin
[Manifest]
Ockie with another one.
awkward when the walk is not a one-on-one
how can I be positive Hes gonna come
sloppy when Im living straight,
stop me when Im sinning, wait, kidding
aint feeling like Ill ever change so whats the point?
a true believer. but when he slips then who believes him?
and under pressure you can see a persons true allegiance
the cost of spitting how I really feel
i can say that my fear that Ill offend yous my achilles heel
my feet are planted on the rock like my first name
still i sway back and forth during hurricanes
the fight is hard cuz life is hard and doubt raises
but to say you lost your foundations outrageous
how great He is, that He enters in our radius
its a blessing and its something that wed hate to miss
love unconditional, until the day we fade to dust
a lot of you still to hate to trust. but we got to pray because..
**
[J. Han]
When Im caught in the middle of wiggling over to the tree
I often twiddle and fiddle the blame away from me.
Tryna keep the reprimanding to a minimum,
pushing it to the side like its a complicated riddle, yo.
I skirt the issue, cover myself with garments
of fig leaves; upon it, man, I simply put some garnish on
cause I hear the voices calling me a varmint,
and the only way to rid em is to try to clean the tarnish off.
Then I recalled that I had better attire.
A marvelous robe drooping on a metal wire
given to me; only fit for the King,
made and tailored for my mold, but chose to sling it aside.
Im tryna live-up my life; the flesh eating me alive though
pride and humility never see eye-to-eye, bro
Want to live-out what you intended to be a sign post
to Christ whos given power to my soul without a nine-volt!
[Gowe]
When I write a sixteen I mix my dreams with a beat
thats a portion of reality and a passion to me
But once the competition sets and Im feeling another threat
I have a tendency to vent through expressions like Im the best
But whats the point of having pride rule the best of me?
Whats the point of a self-destructive destiny?
Especially when I was crafted with a mission
To be focused on the lost now Im tossing and turning because Im sleeping?
And the numbers can be really quite deceiving
Diving in the deep-end of a million plus views
Take another cruise into the reason of existence
You can take all of my music just move me by your presence
I dont care about the best thats just pride talking
What I care about is you God in my mind often
If thats a bass drum with a touch of the keys
Then I will drive until the E blinks and ride to the beat

FREE MP3: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/u11tv62ad108q7z/Sam_Ock Meet_Me.mp3
The first line of this song has been a line Ive been repeating in my head for years. Tonight in a matter of 30 minutes I expounded upon it. Praise God! :]
Meet Me
Im just a kid
One in seven billion
Im in the sea
Of many lovesick souls
What if I climbed
Upon the highest mountain
Would you hear me sing from there?
But you meet me where I am
In the valley of my darkness
And you offer me your hand
And say,
Come to me if youre weary
And I will give you rest
For the meek and the broken
My love for you will never end
Im just a child
One of many millions
And yet I feel your intimate touch
You help me climb
Up from every valley
And when Im weak, you carry me there
You meet me where I am
In the valley of my darkness
And you offer me your hand
And say,")
