No Good
Redemption's Harmony: Finding Goodness in the Depths of Struggle
Lyrics
I've been up to no good
Expressing involvement in negative actions
I've been no good
Reiterating engagement in wrongful behavior
To anybody
Acknowledging harm done to others
To anybody
Repeating the acknowledgment of causing harm
But I know good 'cause I know you
Realizing what goodness is through someone
Help me be about it
Asking for assistance in embodying goodness
Walk with me about it
Requesting companionship in the journey towards goodness
Ya ya
Exclamation expressing affirmation or agreement
Lord be having mercy on me
Pleading for divine mercy
Open up my eyes
Asking for enlightenment when vision is obscured
When I can't see
Belief despite lacking clarity or direction
Know I just gotta believe but I can't see the shore
Feeling lost or uncertain about the future
I can't see the shore no no no
Reinforcing inability to foresee the future
So you gotta help out my unbelief
Requesting help to overcome doubt
Take over the ride
Yielding control of the journey
Take me in deep
Asking to be taken to profound depths
Help me see it through
Seeking support to endure until the end
To the new
Transitioning to a new phase or opportunity
That you got in store
Yearning for what the future holds
Lord I need you
Expressing dependence on divine assistance
Look
Introduction to forthcoming explanation
(Help me see it through)
Reiteration of needing guidance
The time has come for me to explain what I mean
Announcing the need to clarify intentions
The people out on the edge of their seat for the king
People eager to witness success or failure
Some rooting
Some supportive, some anticipating failure
But some can't wait til I fumble the dream
Anticipating criticism upon failure
Forreal
Confirmation of the situation's reality
Well keep waiting so you can watch as I stand to receive
Inviting anticipation of success
All of the things
Receiving rewards from having faith
That came from having that mustard seed of the faith in the being
Referring to the essence of faith
That breathed life into you and to me
Acknowledging the source of life
What's ruined for me
Loss or degradation due to personal perspective
The world
The world and its allure lost its appeal
And all the things that's pursuant to me
Possessions and desires no longer significant
The people who were my people
Former connections or relationships elusive
Elusive to me
Relationships once believed to be true
The truest it seemed
Reference to a distant memory or ideal
Once upon a dream
Recollection of a past dream or aspiration
I dreamed a dream
Reflecting on nostalgic moments
Of time gone by in the basement
Recalling past activities involving indulgence
Hennessy pouring up while I'm rolling a J with
Specific names involved in past experiences
Mikaela and Dez
More individuals associated with past memories
Randy and Shaka
Listing names connected to past events
Making classics without a care in the world
Remembering carefree times
Now it's just moments we learn from
Present experiences as learning opportunities
I've been up to no good
Reiterating involvement in negative actions
I've been no good
Reiterating engagement in wrongful behavior
No
Denial or negation of previous behavior
Yea
Acknowledgment or agreement
But now I know
Acknowledging understanding of goodness through someone
Now I know good 'cause I know you
Seeking assistance or guidance
Help me
Pleading for help
Lord help me
Reiteration of seeking divine assistance
Lord help me
Repetition of plea for divine help
