Lyrics

God, He gave you life

God granted life to the individual being addressed.

Too young to even fight

The person was too young to engage in a battle or struggle.

You were meant to see the light

Life was intended to be positive and illuminated for this person.

You rising angel now you're in paradise

The individual is now an angel in paradise.

And Jesus holds you tight

Jesus is providing comfort and protection in Heaven.

Now Heaven's home tonight you rising angel

The person is acknowledged as a rising angel entering Heaven.


Hmm, yeah, you rising angel

Reiteration of the acknowledgment and reverence for the rising angel.

Mm,  yeah, you rising angel

-

I know how it feels

Expressing understanding of the feelings of the person who faced blame for others' mistakes.

Someone else makes a mistake then they

Describing a situation where someone else's mistakes are unfairly attributed to the person.

Just blame it on you

-

They don't take responsibility

Highlighting the lack of responsibility and the misplaced anger directed at the person.

They just get angry and take it on you

-

How can you defend yourself? Say

Addressing the challenge of defending oneself and the misconception that it is beneficial for health.

It's good for your health

-

But I say it ain't true

Rejecting the notion that accepting blame is true or beneficial.

I'm the voice of the lost that pay

Asserting to be the voice of those who suffer the consequences of mistakes that are not their own.

The cost, that mistake ain't on me

Denying responsibility for mistakes made by others, emphasizing personal innocence.

That mistake is on you

-

I didn't say to have sex unprotected

Addressing the issue of unprotected sex and the selfish pursuit of pleasure, criticizing those who neglect risks.

You knew the risk, but you still neglect it

-

I can see why, you are so selfish

-

Slaves to the pleasure

-

And this is my message

Declaring a message about the consequences of pleasure-seeking behavior.

Could have been doctor or lawyer

Expressing disappointment in not reaching potential careers due to choices and lack of care.

Or real estate agent

-

Whatever, you don’t even care

-

You just think "I would’ve been

-

So poor and pathetic"

-

Like you will not go anywhere

Highlighting the importance of birth control and urging the listener to listen despite not being physically present.

And birth control is no different

-

I hope that you listen

-

Even though you don’t see me there

-

I was inside and I felt life

Recalling the experience of being inside and feeling life, expressing disapproval of not being given the chance to share that life.

But obviously you didn’t want me to share

-

And I’m lookin’ down, better not ever

-

Not ever hear you say that life isn’t fair

-

You took that opportunity away from me

Accusing someone of depriving the speaker of the opportunity of life.


God, He gave you life

Repeating the earlier sentiment of God giving life and the person becoming a rising angel in paradise.

Too young to even fight

Now heaven's home tonight you rising angel

What would I do to you

Or what could I do to you (Hmm, yeah)

-

Why are you blaming me for

-

Something you choose to do? (Mm, yeah)

-

How could you say that I wasn't life

-

When you had the proof in you? (Hmm, yeah)

How could you walk around and act like

-

There wasn't more you could do? (Mm, yeah)

Hmm, yeah mm, yeah (yeah, aww)

Hmm, yeah mm, yeah
