Lyrics

I'm sorry

Expressing regret or remorse

I started the same drugs

Acknowledging past involvement in drug use

No church in a while (save us, save us)

Repeated plea for salvation or help

No church in a while (save us, save us)

-

Save us, save us (oh-oh, oh-oh)

-

Save us, save us (oh, oh-oh)

-

Save us, save us (oh-oh, oh-oh)

-

Save us, save us

-

Invested so much in this game, I'm just wonderin' where's all my profits? Huh? Ha

Reflecting on material pursuits, questioning their value and impact on inner peace

They tryna bait me with hate and false prophets, I'm weighin' my options

-

Should I stay or just stop while I'm poppin'? I know He ain't save to talk 'bout my watches

-

'Bout my houses and four-car garages

-

I lie on my bed, prayin' face up

-

With my eyes open, hopin' He say somethin' (please)

-

Yeah, tripled the price in a week (week)

-

Spirit is reelin', my flesh feelin' weak (weak)

-

Clocks on my wall and I still can't get sleep

-

'Cause I keep seein' people get killed in the streets

-

I got my pride on a leash

-

Life on a lease, I've been dodgin' the beast

-

Sex, money, man, am I fightin' for peace?

-

Please send Your angels to watch over me

Plea for divine protection with a reference to angels


Save us

Plea for salvation, questioning the reality of dreams and seeking divine intervention

When did I asleep? Father, wake us, uh

-

Gotta be more than dreams, won't You save us?

-

Mercy unfold

-

Heaven's an open door

-

Hey, no more locked doors

Narrating a situation involving keys and potential legal consequences

I took the keys out the janitor's closet (I took the keys)

-

It was me, you can call the police

-

I know I'll be set free, if they cuff me about it (it was me)

Emphasizing freedom, overcoming challenges, and celebrating victory

On the way to the jail, it rerouted

-

Came home to my family, they seen me, then shouted (what they said?)

-

Hallelujah, they thought it was over (yeah)

-

Spend a night in the swamp with the ogre (Shrek)

-

When they try you and talk to you vulgar

-

Walkin' through life, I'm tryna get new balance

Expressing the complexity of life, taking chances, and finding solace in faith

I rolled the dice and took too many chances (rolled the dice)

-

Hand on the Bible, it might come in handy

-

Life is not fair but I got cotton candy (that's the game)

-

My life is new, I can't throw it away (brand new life)

Gratefulness for a new life despite challenges

Mercy rainin' on me, they complainin' on me

-

While I'm drippin' in grace (God, save me)

-

Lord, save us

Renewed plea for salvation


Save us (save us)

Reiteration of the plea for salvation and acknowledgment of divine mercy

When did I asleep? Father, wake us, (wake us), uh

-

Gotta be more than dreams, won't You save us?

-

Mercy unfold (mercy unfold)

-

Heaven's an open door (Heaven's an open door)

-

Finally free, I got the keys

Expressing freedom, spiritual connection, and the ongoing struggle with inner demons

Closer to Heaven when I'm on my knees

-

Heart on my sleeve, pardon my steez

-

Fightin' my demons, I walk with a lean

-

Dodgin' debris, fallin' like Eve

Navigating challenges and pain within the family

Pain ain't a seed in my family tree

-

Runnin' our fleet, confess and relieve

-

This ain't lil' holy, it's WHATUPRG

Personal reflection on faith, growth, and gratitude towards the divine

Guidin' my soul, walkin' on go

-

Lost an eternity, back in my zone

-

In with the new, out with the old

-

Praise to the Holy One up on the throne

-

This for the heart, this for the soul

A commitment to authentic expression and righteous living

Why would I rap 'bout the things that I own?

-

I gotta walk what I talk when it's wrong

-

Hop out the grave and I'm rollin' the stone

-

Save us

Final plea for salvation and a hopeful vision of an open door to heaven

When did I asleep? Father, wake us, uh

-

Gotta be more than dreams, won't You save us?

-

Mercy unfold

-

Heaven's an open door
