Red Cup
Transformative Redemption: Gabby Callwood's Journey from Worldly Temptations to Spiritual Awakening
Lyrics
I was living for the world, but you helped me up
The person was focused on worldly matters until someone aided them.
You got me out the bottom when I had enough
They were lifted from a difficult situation by someone.
Trust me, I ain't ever picked that red cup, up
They never indulged in typical party behaviors symbolized by the red cup.
But I picked up that worldly drug
However, they were ensnared by metaphorical worldly vices.
That drug is pride, that drug is hate
The "drug" represents negative aspects like pride, hate, and lust.
That drug is lust so I needed change
Recognizing the need for change due to these detrimental influences.
You took me out and you changed my ways
Someone helped them transform their behaviors and habits.
I am so thankful now I give you praise
Expressing gratitude for the positive change in their life.
Praise to my maker, praise to my God
Offering praise and acknowledgment to their Maker or God.
You helped me change my mindset, a facade
Their mindset underwent a significant shift, moving away from superficiality.
But you said I was wrong, told me I was lost
Others criticized their newfound path as wrong or misguided.
So I found the truth and I won't give it up
However, they discovered their truth and are determined to hold onto it.
For nobody, for no money
They won't compromise their principles for material gain.
For no love, for anybody
They stand firm in their convictions despite external influences.
To everybody, know I love your soul
Expressing love for others' souls but urging them to change for the better.
But if you don't change, then you know where you gon go
Warning about the consequences if others don't alter their ways.
I can't judge you though, I been at the bottom too
They empathize with those who struggle due to personal experience.
God took my soul and made me brand new
Personal transformation was facilitated by a spiritual experience.
You want them Nike checks
Desire for materialistic symbols like branded merchandise.
You want that rose gold
Aspirations for luxury represented by rose gold.
You want that new chain
Desire for possessions like a new chain.
You bump that old school
Enjoying older music styles or nostalgia for the past.
And I know, I know
Acknowledging the allure of these temptations.
That it always tempts
Understanding the constant temptation these desires bring.
And I know, I know
Awareness of the inclination to seek retaliation.
You gon seek revenge
Encouraging a change of heart and repentance.
Over people that, that don left you bent
Recognizing life's hardships and the associated pain.
But please change your soul, need you to repent
Advising against rushing through life's journey.
Cause I know
Emphasizing the limited opportunities in life.
Life can feel so hard and you feel pain
Life's brevity highlighted, urging meaningful efforts.
Life can leave you hollow in your brain
Contrasting life's shortness with the desire for eternal life.
Life can leave you with them body aches
Rejecting past involvement with worldly affairs.
I know that it's hard, there's some time you gotta take
Refusing to dwell on past actions or reminisce.
Don't you waste your life and don't your rush the walk
Living life dedicated to their God without compromise.
You only got one shot until it's all gone
Staying true to their convictions for spiritual reasons.
You know this life ain't long, gotta give the effort
Consistent commitment to spiritual values over worldly temptations.
Eternity is though, wanna live forever
Urging others to transform and change for their own good.
So I'm cleaning off my plate, I know just what I did
Acknowledging past entanglements in worldly matters.
I was tied up in the world, that's why I always trip
Choosing to focus on the present and not dwell on the past.
I ain't looking at the past, no I won't reminisce
Commitment to living for their God without looking back.
Live this life for my God, no I ain't doing it
Emphasizing the unwavering dedication to their chosen path.
For nobody, for no money
Not swayed by material gains or superficial desires.
For no love, for anybody
Steadfast in their convictions despite external influences.
To everybody, know I love your soul
Expressing care for others' souls but warning of consequences for not changing.
But if you don't change, then you know where you gon go
Warning others of potential outcomes if they don't change their ways.
