yakithekid - back in eden lyrics

[chorus]
we back in eden, back in eden
caught me sittin’ at the tree of knowledge, caught me eatin’
i apologize for prophecies i gave up for idolatries
soul of america, jesus christ is weepin’
we back in eden, back in eden
caught me watching from the rooftop, caught me peekin’
i apologize for prophecies i gave up for idolatries
soul of america, jesus christ is weepin’

[verse 1]
so many nights i looked up to god, asking what my purpose was
started wondering if he had messed it up
starting wondering if he had chose the wrong guy
i was never in surrender but my hands was to the sky
i admit that i was wearing masks way before covid+19
clouded vision, no faith, big dreams
who knew, that this kid was outta tune
i could still pretend that i was just the greatest in the room
but i knew that, i could never fall into new traps
i’m way too above these other players to fall back
the honesty
i was self proclaiming the prophecy that i was some prodigy who ain’t have to face no obstacles, no odyssey
felt like my whole life in front of me
i was the shepherd to my own flock of sheep they’d just run to me
sweepin’ you off your feet, sweepin’ you under me
royal blood in my veins and hearing crowds thundering
that was my vision, to be king
went from customer to boss and then right back to employee
who is me, to believe i was the higher one when i’m descended from the one who took the apple from the tree
ain’t nothing new, living in an empty sh+ll
following the lies until they covered up the truth
like a stray dog, i knew i would always chase a bone
ask ’em who knew that the kid was outta zone
outta zone and outta line
would distract himself in worldly pleasures just to pass the time
older he got the further he went off the deep end
okay with getting by, just tryna get even
waiting for the weekend sunday morning service to pretend i knew who jesus was
i was lukewarm but the demons they was eating up
‘time i knew was going on i was surrounded
i looked up to god and i asked him why the demons beating us
nah homie, why the demons beating you
you ain’t really working hard enough you give your soul up for some short+lived sensations
money, drugs, glory, and the fornication
hollywood vacations
stackin’ presidents before you stackin’ up your fruit
dead residents, dead hearts are on the loose
i seen good people start rockin’ with bad crowds, doing things that the past them woulda turned down, uh
[chorus]
we back in eden, back in eden
caught me sittin’ at the tree of knowledge, caught me eatin’
i apologize for prophecies i gave up for idolatries
soul of america, jesus christ is weepin’
we back in eden, back in eden
caught me watching from the rooftop, caught me peekin’
i apologize for prophecies i gave up for idolatries
soul of america, jesus christ is weepin’

[verse 2]
wanna apologize for everything i’ve done, everything i’ve done
this is not who i want to become
i knew i wasn’t supposed to indulge in those things but i did it anyway, yeah i did it anyway
and i regret that
but i know that guilt is from the devil, so the best that i can do is to move forward with a new spirit
to really mean it when i put my hands up in worship
and when i make music hoping that the broken hear it
to really mean it when i wear that cross ‘round my neck
give me the wisdom to make sure i always represent
and when i’m down bad in a dark place, help me look around and recognize the angels that my father sent
where the love at, where the love at
we would rather fight each other than temptation
this is crazy, revelation, day+to+day basis
it don’t even make sense, how we act so shameless
we ain’t even give it second thought
when the truth comes around we just cancel it
god calling us but ain’t n0body answering
everybody goin’ nuts, i don’t think we’ll manage it, that’s why
[chorus]
we back in eden, back in eden
god take me from this place, i don’t want to see it
i apologize for prophecies we gave up for idolatries
soul of america, jesus christ is weepin’
