stylus (raymond mowla) – up in smoke lyrics

verse 1
imagine
cold nights, enterprising with sacrifice
she sold her soul back in genesis for the fame and lights
the glitz shined nice
promised her a better life
money she could spend now
asking why she’s thinking twice

the seed plants at a young age and takes root
these things water the tree until it bears fruit
and now the real crime is not that she’s turning tricks
but she is a daughter of the king and doesn’t know it yet
the temptations of this world all lead us to evil
but here’s a definition that would impact more people
to be evil means to fall short of the mark
so that life you’re giving glory to’s nothing more than a fraud

this world around me glorifies all the lesser things
instead of more ‘role models’ we need our sovereign king
or we gon’ keep consigning daughters to the slaughter
while their steady followin’ fools whose hearts is getting hard
it’s like

chorus:
as i lay my head down ‘fore i go to sleep
i see these visions of a world where i’d like to be
i still remember all the words that he spoke to me
“son keep firm in your faith, i promise you will see it”

verse 2
this next girl is a totally different type of breed
she’s got her family support; more likely to succeed
she’s got honours like she studied up at harvard
she’s an academic scholar; they praise her for going farther
but if you saw inside her soul it’s a dying place
she’s still a daughter of eve, part of a dying race
she’s got the culturally accepted sort of flaws
so there’s few places she goes where she still don’t get applause

but she ain’t never read the scripts or been born again
she thought that was the first girls sort of problem
she look down on the world with all its vice and sin
but she never looked in the mirror to see it lies within

good behaviour blinds our need to seek a saviour
this kind of virtue’s a blessing but truly it’ll never save us
i pray you place your faith in him who died and rose again
and not upon the sinking sand of personal accomplishment

times may get tough be careful not to lose hope
i prayed your faith won’t fail you it’s getting real close
the expectation of the wicked come to naught
don’t be caught up on the wrong side of the line when it goes up in smoke!
verse 3
this last dude is just filled with his religious talk
he’s steady quoting the scriptures but yo there’s something off
he’s got interpretations leading to manipulation
but if we ain’t reading for ourselves then yo it’s hard to blame him

we invested more in glam than we did in truth
it’s like eternity means nothing here to most of you
it’s how the false teacher prospers most often
but “vengeance is mine!” saith the lord so he’s got them

there ain’t nothing here in darkness that won’t come to light
but everyday inside this world feels like a different fight
so i set my sights ahead to my future self
and i speak a word from heaven into every h+ll

for the glory he reveals how it comforts me
it breaks every chain + it brings real peace
i wander off in his love; awed by his majesty
to be in god’s family, what a beautiful tragedy
