His Atonement
[Verse 1: Esteban Shedd]
I saw him
And when I tell you that I saw him
He's a sonnet, he's a poem
He's a praise, he's an onyx
A pattern of joy colored on us
Deeper than the colors that adorn us
Epitome of joy spilling on us
And it's chronic
I chronicle the moments when he's calling
My whole life's a book, he designed it
Penning with a fine tip
Pressure my purpose into alignment
Architects of minds
I'm a child of his design
Blood is his polish
Grace through his carnage
{?} love genres
Now I ain't talking religion
Nah, I ain't talking performance
Nah, I ain't talking a rhombus
I'm talking eternal bloodlines
To the heart of this, he was
Martyred for my malice
He got a voice like a songstress
Filling my ears with his phonics
Speaking good news in the age that's demonic
Above him no other
Supreme, my lover
He's king, I'd be a fool
A fiend to sit outside of his reign
Just give me everything of him
No need for another other, I'm saying
Good morning
He's the new morning, joy dawning
Good morning

[Hook: Liz Vice]
Hey
Between his two arms lay
My darkest day
The blood he paid
Gave me new days

[Verse 2: Esteban Shedd]
Within my soul, like condors
Over life crumbling
My origin, his portion
Covered like a terrapin
All nature broadcasts his excellence
Even on the west side
Of life's end, my good friend
Good morning
In his presence like an engine
I'm dependent on
Mixed metaphors to try to pin him
I'm failing, I'm sailing
My cousin, he's the wind in me
Even when tragedy hit my family
Bullets hit my shorties
Disease hit the wifey
Still my god worthy on his mercy seat
I'm treasure hunting for a worthy tweet
Can only brag on what he means to me
I'm a fool
I love him, I'm wanting no other lover
I'm covered in this covenant
No shame on my brother
No shame on my savior
I savor the Seders
I'm a son of the Creator
And after all of my labor
I can never earn his favor
But he bade me with favor
Favored all of my failings
Making a son from a hater
When he hollowed his halo
To pay all of my wages
Turn my feeling to hello
My only cordero
Mi canto, mi core
Resurrected that morning
He's the new day dawning
Good morning

[Hook: Liz Vice] x2

[Outro: Esteban Shedd]
Forgiveness is his offering
The light from the torment
My soul's night got swallowed through his torch
Transformed through a resurrection
Morning
And he's coming, shining, dawn
A new day dawning
Good morning
