Holy Thug
Redeemed Resonance: Journey of a Transformed Soul
Lyrics
I dun comot from wayward life, I dun align with God
I have left a wayward lifestyle and now align myself with God.
I dun dey pay my tithe sharp, I dun dey stay for church
I diligently pay my tithe and regularly attend church services.
I dun dey get my piece of mind, pastor dey call me son
I find peace of mind, and the pastor considers me as a spiritual son.
I still dey roll my loud sha, call me a holy thug
Despite my religious commitment, I still indulge in smoking loud (marijuana), hence the term "holy thug."
2019 when I started rap
I began my rap journey in 2019.
Freestyles with a bit of style
I freestyle with a unique style.
Held the mic on a church altar
I performed on a church altar, garnering enthusiastic crowds.
Had the crowds dem going mad
The audience went wild with excitement.
I looked for mom and I saw her smile
I observed my mom's happy reaction.
It felt so good that I got so proud
The experience made me proud.
Added bars from Nicky Minaj
I incorporated bars from Nicki Minaj into my rap.
They went crazy cause they thought it was mine
The crowd mistakenly believed the lyrics were mine.
Went back home started writing rhymes
I returned home and started writing my own rhymes.
Rapped for mom and she loved the vibe
I rapped for my mom, and she enjoyed the vibe.
Called by God and I held it tight
I felt a divine calling and embraced it.
Everything changed when I dropped goodlife
My life took a turn when I released "goodlife."
I was 14 in a 4 man gang
At 14, I was part of a four-man gang with hidden knives.
No one knew I had stacks of knives
Despite my past, rap brought calmness into my life.
Rap changed me and I got so calm
I officially started my music journey in 2021.
Started music 2021
