Vi Finesse
New Religion
[Verse 1]
Look, Momma, I made it out to Vegas
I made it out the city that made me famous
I went from riding Ubers to driving Ranges
I had a dream and God just sent me angels
A few blessings to spread the word, having patience
But knowing me, the hype just made me anxious
Like Summers when you took us out on vacation
Like the years when Tosha was sitting and I was pacing
My heart is racing, the vibes are taking
Over my spirit, my lyrics
Concentration, Complications my story
Conversations, they ignore me
My vision 20/40, my eyes are set on glory
I’m halfway to Heaven, living according
With a tight circle, moral supporting
My ambition to drive home the rhythm
They scream Finesse, one day they gonna miss him
My President hates me, I’m still a victim
But to them, that’s standard living; I can’t forgive ‘em
The people will split him
Tearing the nation into this desecration
Screw the world, where’s the innovation?
Losing Arab students and banning nations
Scores going lower than segregation
Undid my chains, emancipation
The man is cancer is what I’m saying

[Pre-Hook]
And Lord knows that I’m praying
And Lord knows that I’m praying
I ain’t ever playing

[Hook]
Shed blood, save face; it ain’t ever gonna change
Shed blood, save face; is it ever gonna change?
Same time, same place; Lord forgive me for my ways
Same thing, different day; join hands and let us pray
Shed blood, save face; it ain’t ever gonna change
Shed blood, save face; is it ever gonna change?
Same time, same place; Lord forgive me for my ways
Same thing, different day; join hands and let us pray
(Let them tell it, I’m a rebel
Who signed deals with the Devil
In the Hell to dwell and revel
Name a hater, I know several
And my heart ain’t so timid
Y’all just things without the linen
Y’all just boys without your women
Y’all just hate me when I’m finished)

[Verse 2]
Music the religion, made me as a prophet
So I speak for the people, never for the profit
Gotta burn bright, don’t ever let ‘em stop it
Putting in all the work and I ain’t even clock in
That goes for all the people there and the people here
Rights for black, Islam, women, trans, and queer
You’re on top now, but you won’t hold a year
Why catch flies with honey when you control ‘em with fear?
They wanna kill us for a living, pre-existing condition
This hate is a symptom, nobody will listen
I pray to hold this vision, revolt this new religion
Where we follow up a system, ‘stead of heeding on His mission
And Lord knows that I’m praying
And Lord knows that I’m praying
I ain’t ever playing
[Hook]
Shed blood, save face; it ain’t ever gonna change
Shed blood, save face; is it ever gonna change?
Same time, same place; Lord forgive me for my ways
Same thing, different day; join hands and let us pray
Shed blood, save face; it ain’t ever gonna change
Shed blood, save face; is it ever gonna change?
Same time, same place; Lord forgive me for my ways
Same thing, different day; join hands and let us pray
(Let them tell it, I’m a rebel
Who signed deals with the Devil
In the Hell to dwell and revel
Name a hater, I know several
And my heart ain’t so timid
Y’all just things without the linen
Y’all just boys without your women
Y’all just hate me when I’m finished)
