Right My Wrongs
Redemption in Notes: Mike Evenn's Journey to Rewrite Life's Melodies
Lyrics
Yea
Expressing acknowledgment or agreement.
Cocaine in my fingernails, who knew this where life would take me
Reflection on unexpected life experiences involving drug use.
Damned from heaven blessed as hell, scared my God just might forsake me
Feeling conflicted between negative and positive aspects in life, fearing divine abandonment.
Women i'm inviting home, pussy, whiskey, writing songs
Engaging in a cycle of vices (women, sex, alcohol) while pursuing creative endeavors.
Die without my microphone, i'm not sure where i belong
Feeling lost without the means to express oneself (microphone), unsure of belonging.
Damn i gotta write my wrongs
Sense of urgency and responsibility to correct past mistakes.
Reaching for the pen and pad thats the first step
Reflecting on the need for change, seeking spiritual guidance, and feeling disillusioned with current beliefs and circumstances.
If i'm trippin' over the past, thats the worst step
-Got me sippin' out of a glass on the church steps
-I need to confess all of my demons
-Quick get me the usher, call me a deacon
-I need Jesus while i'm walking wit Yeezus
-I need a bad chick wit Dominican features
-At home when i come from the strip teases, I got a weakness
-Astaghfirullah I know we ain't been speaking
-Try five rakah's over the weekend
-Blocked my chakras living indecent
-'Tis the season, the summers getting hotter but they hearts freezing
-We hoping on the future but we all leaning
-Ain't got a lot left to believe in, give me a reason
-Cocaine in my fingernails, who knew this where life would take me
Reiteration of previous verses emphasizing the desire to rectify mistakes.
Damned from heaven blessed as hell, scared my God just might forsake me
-Women i'm inviting home, pussy, whiskey, writing songs
-Die without my microphone, i'm not sure where I belong
-Damn i gotta write my wrongs
-Damn i gotta write my wrongs
-Talk back, talkin' to ya need you to talk back
Desire for communication and a response, feeling unheard and unable to retreat from a certain point.
I keep talking to ya, you never talk back
-I been talking to ya, need you to talk back
-God, I can't walk back
-I done gone too far too late to walk back
-I keep talking to ya, never talk back
-I been talking to ya, need you to-
-Dreaming about a milli is silly i'm from a city of homicide
Describing a challenging environment, socioeconomic struggles, and societal issues affecting personal choices.
Chicken and pocket knives, how long can i survive
-Black on that black suit and tie white collar crime
-Middle class turning to columbine
-Sin is an acquired taste
Addressing sins, seeking escape from a superficial life, and the importance of kindness amidst hate.
I told her swallow her pride and put her thighs on the side of my face
-Stuck in a plastic life tryna find a escape
-Only kindness can silence the hate
-And I don't know if black lives matter but black dollas
-Got a lot a CEO's sittin' wit fat wallets
-Hear a lotta commentary talking bout rap violence
-Cries from the ghetto where don't nobody ask bout us
-What you expect
Expressions of heaviness, self-reflection, and a realization of one's own flaws.
My heart gets heavy, my thoughts get buried in ashes
-Ashes tossed when i spark they carry me high
-I saw something scary then looked closer to see
-Turns out it's a reflection of me, damn
-Cocaine in my fingernails, who knew this where life would take me
Repetition emphasizing the urgency to correct past mistakes and seek redemption.
Damned from heaven blessed as hell, scared my God just might forsake me
-Women i'm inviting home, pussy, whiskey, writing songs
-Die without my microphone, i'm not sure where I
-Damn i gotta write my wrongs
-Damn i gotta write my wrongs
