Posted by Emory Garris on 2/7/2006, 10:03 pm, in reply to "Tonex has retired" Later, B-C was inspired to record the song entitled: “Where’s The Love?” The song deals with a Gospel artist that is frustrated by the politics of the music Industry. The music for "Where's The Love" was supplied by www.beatjack.com and recording at Liquid Records Studios in Baton Rouge LA.

Intro It’s B-C, and A-1 Beat Jack, what’s up Tonex Chorus: I’m an eight time stellar, 2 dove awards- Plus I’m Grammy nominated; I’m still the most hated They rejected me; they took my name through the mud- Now I’m coming out the closet with a question, where’s the love? Verse 1: I’m an artist; I’m doing my thing for the lord- For me and Gospel music, it’s nothing but a war. People have it easy, while my struggle is the hardest- I have a record deal, but my contract is garbage. You think I have it made, because I have a little fame- But the real deal, all of my fame just cause me pain. The music industry made my life a living hell- The label don’t love me because my records don’t sell. I sold a few records, I didn’t go platinum- Now I need some help, so I try to holla at them. The label played me; you know I fell through the trap- I called the record label, but they won’t call me back. Chorus: Repeat Chorus 2 times Verse 2: I’m an artist; I write about life, I keep it real- People want to be me; they don’t know how I feel. They tried to put me in box, I wouldn’t fit- I’m in the lime light now, I really want to quit. I went on tour and did a few shows- I’m broke like an artist in the hood with a demo. No furniture, no chairs, I never been scared- I’ve lost everything and really don’t care. I’ve sick of the fate in the music industry- People don’t minister, they just compete. They act like Judas at the last supper- I’ve seen so many Gospel artists hate each other. Chorus: Repeat Chorus Verse 3: I’m an artist making music with a tight sound- People write me just to kick me when I’m down. I don’t know how much more I can take- People don’t show love, they know how to hate. It’s a crusade; they keep lying on me- Twist my words around to sell magazines. I’m all about the kingdom; they won’t let me be- I’m not leaving Gospel to sing R&B. I’m need a word, because I’m losing my hope- For all my pain and the hurt, I blame the church folks. They said hosanna, now they say crucify him- Don’t worry bout me, because I’m Gone I retire. Do not forget to check out B-C in Today’s Voice.

While B-C was in the studio recording his second album entitled “Chasing a Dream”, he went online to “The Gospel Zone” website and saw an article about Tonex retiring from Gospel music. This broke his heart because Tonex’s music brought B-C through some tough times. He went to Tonex’s website to read his blog and listen to the radio interview at www.myspace.com/tonex.
