Pariah

Lyrics

The devil is a big idiot Yeah For my niggas walking round with they eyes closed It's a difference between being blind And deliberately choosing to not see what's right in front of your face man God gives grace to the humble But He's the rock of all offenses to the proud for real Pick yo side nigga It's on Yeah America's the lair of the heretics And the lamest preachers who remain egregious So we bang and let the gangstas teach us And even though we squeeze a flamer that be maiming creatures Man at least we're not out here playing with the name of Jesus They claim they love the streets but they don't train to reach us Daily they see the pain we in yet they remain facetious And they treat us like pariahs with some strange diseases And leave us hanging but the Messiah came to see us And He aborted none He was pro life In His wisdom He gave vision to His niggas with no sight And He slummed it with the gunnas and He hung with the low lifes And He summoned in them youngins From them glum of them cold nights And He straightened what was crooked And them hookers and them thieves And He didn't overlook us And He took us to our knees We were sick and He still kissed us Wit' our boogers and our sneeze He knew us, He saw through us We were bushes without leaves So how could I repay an insurmountable Debt I'm still a wretch I know it's best to be accountable My flesh is still a threat though His blessing is so bountiful My sin had me drowning I was bellin' til He found my soul Yeah I didn't know Him then but now I know What ends up rolling in depends on how I sow My team ain't gonna win if it's a foul I throw He redeemed me from my sin so now I'm bowing low [Chorus: Sevin] Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I said finally I'm free Said I'm free Cuz Lord You love me You love me Amazing grace how sweet the sound yeah That saved a wretch just like me And I once was lost but now I'm found yeah I was blind but now I see Yuh, C'mon Let's go And I'm trying to usher in a street revival My people weak and keep a heap of idols We beef with rivals Can't see peace cuz we too freakin tribal And we too prideful You must be meek to be discipled It's mo' likely he gon' eat a rifle than go read the Bible There's bleak survival on the side of homicidal demons And the slightest slight will have us sliding til your momma's grievin' This drama's breedin' hella trauma There's no rhyme or reason And the songs we sing along with keep us drawn to heathens And prolonging beef harms us at least along the seasons Of this dishonorable conduct and bereavement When the shooters become tutors Then the school is hella wicked They used to have to noose us Now our wounds are self inflicted So who needs a slave ship when your slaves bit The same script of rhetoric You fled to get them slaves tricked We forgot our purpose - keep the serpents out the land What's worse there's hella churches out here working with the Klan And poverty's a project they observe us in our plans And encourage us to murder just to service our demands In the turf we feelin' worthless like a curse is on our fam Unaware that we're your workmanship and purposed by your hand [Chorus: Sevin] Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I said finally I'm free Said I'm free Cuz Lord You love me You love me Amazing grace how sweet the sound yeah That saved a wretch just like me And I once was lost but now I'm found yes I was blind but now I see Amazing grace how sweet the sound yeah That saved a wretch just like me And I once was lost but now I'm found yeah I was blind but now I see
