[Chorus: Sevin]
Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
If it weren't for Your spirit I never woulda learned
Stuck up in this foolishness but I'm gon' be wiser now
I thank You for renewing my mind
Making me wiser now
And now I dedicate my time
To be wise
[Verse 1: Sevin]
My pen's drifting
Through the current of this college rule
Then I climb from under Plymouth Rock
Turned into a polished jewel
Nowadays if You ain't doing hot ish
Then you are not as cool
So which one are you?
The prideful genius or the modest fool?
My vision's crystal clear
It's like a spotless pool
And the concrete
Gave me all this knowledge
I ain't got a school
For real
All hail the Father on His sovereign stool
And if you can't help to fix the problem
You are not a tool
I ain't interested at all if it's been done before
Most n***as fail cuz they're scared to leave
Or just too dumb to go
It's real you'll feel it if
I take you through this jungle bro
Hella trees and hella bees
Two 3's and that number 4
Huh
Christ is the hope we find within this hopeless time
He threw the whole world on His back
And never broke His spine
And they claim there's no designer for this whole design
It's wretched
But a man without no message never holds a sign
[Chorus: Sevin]
Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
If it weren't for Your spirit I never woulda learned
Stuck up in this foolishness but I'm gon' be wiser now
I thank You for renewing my mind
Making me wiser now
And now I dedicate my time
To be wise
[Verse 2: Illuminate]
The only thing I've ever perfected
Was imperfection
So I keep my gaze up to Yeshua
Searching for direction
Hard headed running everything
With no protection
A misguided misfit
That's known for misdirection
'Til I encountered His affections
That healed my perceptions
I was a bull in a china shop
With pent up aggressions
Had so many confessions
But not like Usher Ray
Was more like Buggsy Siegel
Busting with a rusty K
But every time I try to take it in my own hands
I ended up with broke plans
Bankrupt with no bands
And just like Christ
Through suffering
I learned obedience
Whatever it takes for me
To finally learn these ingredients
Cuz one thing I will never be is on autopilot
I'm never silent
And I'm waging war for all my migrants
My people perished
For lack of knowledge and Godly wisdom
So I'm making sure that I'm equipped
And that's just what I give 'em
[Chorus: Sevin]
Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
If it weren't for Your spirit I never woulda learned
Stuck up in this foolishness but I'm gon' be wiser now
I thank You for renewing my mind
Making me wiser now
And now I dedicate my time
To be wise
[Verse 3: Sevin]
As the mob swerves in silence and
I observe these tyrants
In the book of Proverbs
I look to God's words for guidance
My good posture's the finest
Cuz they want me to keep my head down
From a red town
City of Kings
Where you could catch a lead crown
From the bottom
So I ain't got problems
I'm too up to get let down
And I don't hit the bakery for bagels
But I keep some bread 'round
The love of money's idolatry and it leads to sin
It's used to celebrate the debauchery that my people's in
I wanna see my people win
But wealth is not the finish line
Could buy a grocery store
And still be selfish when it's dinner time
Money ain't gon' change your heart
At best it'll only change your mind
You copped a chain cuz you're enchained and blind
For real
Don't outrun your maturity
It's best to stay behind
Cuz you ain't blessed if you successful
Yet with a wretched state of mind
Gain the world
Lose your soul
For all it's worth you earned a L
Ball on earth and burn in hell?
That's an eternal fail
[Chorus: Sevin]
Trusting in myself I made a lot of mistakes
Caused a lot of pain was basically a disgrace
If it weren't for Your spirit I never woulda learned
Stuck up in this foolishness but I'm gon' be wiser now
I thank You for renewing my mind
Making me wiser now
And now I dedicate my time
To be wise
