willy j "the prisoner of hope" - painted personas lyrics

hi welcome to the art gallery
my name is w-lly j i’ll be your host this evening
follow me
now if you look to your left you’ll see a few painted portraits
of churches, congregations, pastors some of them as you can see are very beautiful…but be aware that looks are deceiving and there is more than meets the eye

verse !:

he’s the gazer of our gallery
we’re living portraits we’re art of humanity
so let’s take a closer look at the believa’
some self examination never hurt, peep it

we’re believers we’re christians that’s what we say
we go to church not all the time but every sunday
the same hands we raise to praise the lord
is used to flip the finger at someone who worked our nerves, right?

the same mouths we use to praise god
is the same mouth that disrespects mom
you’re working at a job but you don’t give your t-thes
the government asks if you work you lie (you lie)

but it’s okay though god will forgive us
his son died on the cross, mercy he gives us
but the truth we’re in a spirit coma
we try to fool the artist with painted personas

hook: 2x
we try so hard act like we’re perfect
paint false pictures, painting false portraits
but the artist will wash out like noah
wash out the lies of painted personas

verse 2:

god’s will in our lives is perfect
requires sacrifices but we wonder is it worth it
if we don’t like we’ll just change it up a little
church’s painting pictures but the frame is so brittle

that’s foundation but it’s weak
because the church lost sight of elohim
painting comfy pictures like norman rockwell
diluted gospels won’t maintain they won’t rock well

we painted over god’s plan like it’s nothing
we only want his will if he’s willing to give something
like money, cars, jobs, sk!ll for rappin’
he is no genie and you’re not aladdin

his work in our lives is flawless
yet we all want a gospel that’s lawless
wanna live the fast life like daytona
remember, this life borrowed and you’re gonna meet the owner

hook: 2x
we try so hard act like we’re perfect
paint false pictures, painting false portraits
but the artist will wash out like noah
wash out the lies of painted personas

thank you visiting the art gallery
i hope you had an eye opening experience
please, come again soon
and if i’m not here, just let them know w-lly j sent you
alright now, god bless you
you have a good day
