Story behind the song
I worked on this beat for open mic night at my school. I wrote and worked on the beat at the same time hence, the beat is only perfectly suited for this lyrics alone!
Lyrics
Spoken word:
It was a Monday morning, coming off a slightly hectic weekend
Got up & said my prayers, 1st thing "God let this week end"
See my life's a book, but each page tells the same story
So if you asked me, then, yes! I did know what the day had in store for me
But this page was different -
The words bigger, the pictures more vivid
More colorful, previous scriptures were livid
Seemed like today was a gift, signed, sealed, delivered
The present! Now I just needed to find me the giver
So I went out searching for this generous one
Searched the grounds, the skies, even travelled across suns
Then I gave up, returned home exhausted, laid on my bed
Dreamt I met with God & these are the words he said:
"Someday - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift"
Rapping:
So that day finally came...
My service, it was time to be claimed
Time to proclaim, myself as God's servant
He said "listen to my words son, be observant
In your soul, you got a serpent; you got to clean him out
He stopping your blood flow & your bones are rotting in the drought
Son, you got to be devout, or perish to dirt"
He said "cherish my worth,
All I want from you is to talk to me more often,
All I want to see is you walking on to heaven,
If I didn't care, would have chucked you in a second,
But in you I saw promise; was not too hard to reckon
But I had to beckon, for you to acknowledge me,
And in my kind nature, I took your apology
But if this wrong life is what you choose to relive...
And then I do not forgive"
Spoken Word:
Right after this I woke up; was it a dream or a nightmare?
Looked around, couldn't see nothing, only felt the nights air
This serpent in me, how do I clean him out, I'm confused
Then he said: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"
