DEvils/See The Light by Malcolm King (.mlclm) Lyrics
Part 1: D'Evils
[Intro]
Sins of my forefathers were forgiven
I gotta make sure mine don't get to my children
[Verse 1]
We could built a cathedral these evils can't mess with
A foundation that tremors can't mess with
It all sounds like a good idea on paper
But in reality it ain't so
Life has more greys, ain't that so
You can't plan to love me til Grey and old
Because if ain't meant to be it won't
"Thy will be done"‚ I prayed that prayer
Now I got emotions I can't seem to pray away
I got resentment that won't go away
Didn't die‚ but took my livelihood away
I know I'm post to believe God will make a way
But I can't seem to find the faith
I used to be the mustard seed that moved mountains
Now I can't move straight with you in my presence
I got anxiety that I won't take meds for
I got sadness that you can't cry away
I got memories to make movies with sequels
How many times did I wanna die? Several
But you lied and said it was because of you
I contemplated but never fed the thought
My friends would be robbed
My momma would cry day and night
My father would wonder what he did wrong
Go to church and repent to kill these evils
But I'm the same kid that refused to fight my demons
Cause they hugging me tight like you used to
I still remind myself to get used to life without you
[Hook]
Dear God‚ I wonder can you save me
They want my mind, soul and body
I'm way too cool to die young
But these evils showing me premonitions
I refuse to let them kill me
[Verse 2]
I can only say I was wrong for my part
Sincerest apologies came from the heart
I guess it helps her to shift the blame
What is another charge if I've already pled guilty?
God forgive me I'll never do it again
I'd pray to get back my innocence rather than to not be guilty
Because I wouldn't see the world as filthy
Hate it cause it makes me feel like a hypocrite
Yeah I've done worse but I'm serving my time
Keep lying to your friends I guess it ain't a crime
Just means you could never be my character witness
So you taint who I am and I just bear witness
Truth knocking on the door like Jehovahs witness
Outta shape mentally and not fitness
I just want to smile by this Christmas
I might ask for too much for a sinner
Fornicating til I feel numb, not a winner
I been losing since 17 when I nearly lost faith
At 27 I'mma buy my first Wraith
Stars in the ceiling so it so it won't hurt to dream
I can't expect forgiveness if I keep repeating my sins
You wanna make God laugh‚ tell him your plans
Its not blasphemy, just means his plan will always prevail
Try kills these evils so I don't go to hell
Part 2; See The Light
[Chorus]
Darkness seems to be all around me
Searching for what my eyes cannot see
My hope is Jesus
Was blind now I see the light
[Verse]
I lost a lot but still got 20/20 vision
I stay moving even though I lost my mission
I stayed rapping even when I lost my passion
Going to church don't make me Christian
I'm just trying to be Christ-like
Ain't that what it means to be Christian?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I missed a few sermons
Could have died if I stayed underwater for a few more seconds
But Jesus ain't die for me just for me to die fruitless
I'm living my life with no purpose
Buy my friends gifts and I'll keep the curses
For each time I been dead I'd need 2 hurses
3 times a charm‚ hope I won't be so lucky
I won't always be sad, God made me a promise
But I ain't seen a rainbow since I was 18
But I get comfort knowing every morning I wake
I see the light and it gets brighter with every step I take
[Chorus]
Darkness seems to be all around me
Searching for what my eyes cannot see
My hope is Jesus
Was blind now I see the light
[Outro]
Was blind now I see the light
Love is blinding now I see
God's love overtaking every part of me
Lord you're beautiful to me
