After the Fall
Born a Man: Defying Fate After the Fall
Lyrics
Mama took me every Sunday to the church and made me pray
Mama regularly took me to church on Sundays and insisted I pray.
Daddy said I was a sinner and that God would make me pay
Dad believed I was sinful and would face consequences from God.
But I, I will outrun em all
Despite their beliefs, I am determined to surpass their expectations.
I was born a man after the fall
I was born as a man, facing the challenges and consequences of the fall of man from grace.
I'm a rambler and a gambler only play when stakes are high
I am someone who takes risks and only participates when there's a lot at stake.
And I know every back road, boys always let me drive
I am familiar with all the less-traveled roads, and others trust me to drive.
They know that I, I will outrun em all
Others recognize that I have the ability to surpass or escape any challenges.
I was born a man after the fall
Despite facing adversities, I embody the qualities of a person shaped by the aftermath of a fall.
I could have been the man mama wanted me to be
I had the potential to become the person my mother desired me to be.
But I listened to the preacher
However, I was influenced by the preacher's words.
Lord had mercy, set me free
The preacher's teachings liberated me.
He said you're running with the devil son
The preacher warned me about associating with evil or temptation.
I see it in your eyes
He discerns the darkness within me through my eyes.
There's only room for one of us
There's only space for either the preacher's guidance or the darker elements within me.
Best you leave tonight
The advice is to depart from that conflicting path tonight.
He knows that I, I will outrun em all
I possess the capability to surpass any threat or advice.
I was born a man after the fall
My identity is shaped by the trials of human existence after the fall from grace.
They'll hang me if they catch me, they don't know the work I do
If caught, I might face severe consequences, unaware of the good I do to protect others.
To keep them safe at night from all those devils on the loose
I engage in work to safeguard others from malevolent forces.
Oh I, I will outrun em all
Regardless of challenges, I am determined to overcome them all.
I was born a man after the fall
My existence embodies the struggles and resilience after the fall of man.
