Wounds of a Friend - Şevin

See the truth is

Men don’t always represent you well

You know I’m sayin?

They don’t always reflect your character

But see that’s not an excuse for me

To stray away or act how I wanna act because

Regardless of how men misrepresent you

You represented yourself perfectly

As a man

And that’s what I’m called to keep my gaze on

Jesus Christ

You feel me?

The fullness of God manifested in the flesh

Thank you Lord

Ay

I tried conforming and being normal

It’s too late for me to fit in

Created for something greater

A seat my haters couldn’t sit in

Pride’s the plate

And sin’s the steak that we have bitten

And the riders fake

That’s why they hate for me to get in

Since they’ve labeled me a Christian

I know the agency is listening

I basically hate satan bro

I faithfully resist him

And I know these lucifarians

Think they carrying wisdom

But in Jesus we have freedom

Cuz he was buried and risen

For real

Now they trying to build they tower of Babel again

What is the matter with them

This is the madness of sin

Malicious fanatics contend

This is the pattern of men

In Christ we have already won

I’ve enlisted to battle with sin

If we demonstrate the victory

How then could satan get to me

At Calvary he lost

I guess we emulating history

Through Christ we’ve got the power

To devour the darkness we hate

But we gotta shed the disguise

If we’re gonna target the fake

For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me (it's real)

And every single lie that they show me (that's right)

You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me

That’s how I know my Father is holy

And it gets real up in this mission field

A lot of lives we riskin'

And those without the heart

Be trying to modify the mission

If the body’s got division

Then it’s not a Godly system

But they idolize positions

And try to modernize traditions

Where I hail from it’s hell son

They rape daughters and jail sons

Through Christ’s grave that price’s paid

But you out here trying to sell some

You don’t let the Spirit speak

Your writing pen just writes for trends

Too caught up in your hype

To lend your life out to disciple men

That means you are just an actor

You are just a Christian rapper

You ain’t on no list of factors

Who are you to diss a pastor?

When’s the last time you shed your tears

Out on these wretched blocks

Or gave it all

Just to obey the call and try to shepherd flocks

Yeah that’s what I thought

Go 'head and check your Google plays

Used to your own idol boy

It don’t matter who you save

Cuz it ain’t even you who saves

That’s the devil’s lie as well

So blinded by your prideful spell

Repent or you gon' fry in hell

For real

For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me (You were still there)

And every single lie that they show me (comforting my heart God)

You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me (I find pleasure in Your law,

I do)

That’s how I know my Father is holy

Ay

Ay

And I admit the way my past was captivated

By the cast that made it

To the point I coveted

The platform that it activated

That sinful seed left me

Feeble and incapacitated

Seemed like I fell in love

With everything my master hated

My heart developed so much evil

It was past containment

But a artist never sees the details

Til he has to paint it

The truth’s offensive to the ears

Until you’re acclimated

Most do not listen to the Spirit

Unless their pastor’s saying it

But I took the affidavit

Signed it now I’m past arraignment

Blinded but His kindness over shined it

Where my path was tainted

This world is prideful and our idols

Are so masqueraded

Over time we’re slowly dying

Like a wrist after it’s lacerated

This world reminds me

Of a vehicle that’s being driven blindly

Through a windy road

Plus it ain’t got the gas to make it

I only pray one day I could be half as gracious

For the world He gave His son

Though He ain’t have to save us

For every piece of pride that they’ve shown me

And every single lie that they show me

You said there’s no other God’s that’s before me

That’s how I know my Father is holy
