Verse: He was sixteen his thinking sorta like his fathers, interesting he did things, careful not to bring, attention to himself, he looked to be the sharper, brother of the two, only eleven months apart/
ask anyone he’d hang wit, their story be the same, he’s a church boy, PK, young and unashamed, On his cell phone, the prayers on the voice mail when you called’em, plus ya boi is proper when he conversing the name/
Pierce a little deeper you’d see nothing wasn’t different, he’s awfully apart of what they thought was mint condition, his heart is in the dark and it’s got a sin condition, He’s nefarious and fallen even in his intuition/
see he thinks things, you’d think, would probably get him locked up, his inwards are heinous, but men’ll rather pretend, it’s all good, but all good is nothing he’s apart of, get to know the truth and you’d think twice about being friends//
Verse: Now he’s nineteen, in nice jeans, he’s getting a little popular, closet full of shoes, so he always keepin it fresh, interesting he still loves to talk about this God stuff, so he caries Bibles in the pockets of his vest, They call him up with questions cuz he seems to know the answers, they’re lookin at him thinking that he has a peace of mind, his standards are high up, his family is proud, they say that boy’s an active Christian, cuz of all the given signs/ Dig a little deeper and you see that he’s so facetious, has to be the smartest, but he doesn’t know it’s pride, his lower self esteem makes him sensitive and cautious, he spends his time alone, fantasizing suicide, he hates to feel rejection but he doesn’t seek the Lord, he’s a slave to sin that’s why he struggling with porn, and now he’s stealing money just to relish his addiction, if wicked was a competition, he makes y’all look like choir boys//
