Lyrics

People say that I fell from grace
Cuz of my mistakes
Think I’ll never change
Turning through the pages
Knowing who can save me
Yet they keep debating
Bout eternal fates
And I don’t wanna play their games
I’m drowning in my shame
And though they know my name
They’re bringing up the stains
Thinking that I’m living in my former ways
And yet I’m looking outside to the better days
But how many times have I gotten burnt
And tried to act like I’m not hurt?
So I step in the church
I don’t wanna curse
Tryna follow the verse
But the people in the steeple got more perverse
So my two cents
Is a nuisance
They wanna reduce them
I’m deducing
That the truth's more beautiful
But you don’t know
That Jesus left the proof there
Instead they’re spittin' that venom
How they gonna get up
When they’re waiting on the armageddon
Using their faith as a weapon
To gate keep Heaven
Never mind the One who sent Him
Peace on earth, good will to men
Why they wanna change His message?
Flipping every word that He said
Putting heavy chains on the ones that He resurrected
Instead they’re spittin' that venom
How they gonna get up
When they’re waiting on the armageddon
Using their faith as a weapon
To gate keep Heaven
Never mind the One who sent Him
Peace on earth, good will to men
Why they wanna change His message?
Flipping every word that He said
Putting heavy chains on the ones that He resurrected
Everyone is playing snakes and ladders
Why these titles? Does it really matter?
Turning worship into pain
In an age where they judge your worth on your church
And if you pray to Mary and the saints
Call themselves Christians
But still full of hate
Stabbing their friends in the back like Cain
Over different faiths
They’re not able to see that Jesus,
The reason why any of us can be saved
Not by tradition
Or starting a mission
Cuz he took it all
Didn’t need our permission
And yet they insist that the catechism
Holds the perfect vision
They create division
I don’t want division
I just wanna listen
To my God and King
And Ima do it
Ain’t no point in the fear
You’ll just lose it
One God, many churches
People searching for a purpose
Soul searching for a service
Popes and bishops
Overturn their worship
Close the curtains
Hoping they submit to Rome
But where’s the hope in holding back
We go in circles like a cul-de-sac
And we make our idols like the golden calf
I’d rather focus on the Holy Mass
And not on the holistic labels that we’ve all attacked
But it’s all a fact
I’m just tryna combat a pack of wolves
All the sheep are butting heads, like it’s whack a mole
Going back and forth,
Like a bull and matador
No ears to hear
Cuz they’ve drawn the sword
Breaking down the doors
They’re asking me what I’m even rapping for
I ain’t even tryna go perform an
I’m just tryna help the souls
Find their way back to the Lord
Instead they’re spittin' that venom
How they gonna get up
When they’re waiting on the armageddon
Using their faith as a weapon
To gate keep Heaven
Never mind the One who sent Him
Peace on earth, good will to men
Why they wanna change His message?
Flipping every word that He said
Putting heavy chains on the ones that He resurrected
Instead they’re spittin' that venom
How they gonna get up
When they’re waiting on the armageddon
Using their faith as a weapon
To gate keep Heaven
Never mind the One who sent Him
Peace on earth, good will to men
Why they wanna change His message?
Flipping every word that He said
Putting heavy chains on the ones that He resurrected
