I’m inquisitive on God and Jesus himself, always trying to figure out and just become a better person. I’m actually saying I’m an actual saint, but this is me, this is who I am and people are scared of that and sometimes the industry was scared of that for a long time.

“I said alright, enthused that my Lord gave a listen
I opened my Bible in search to be a better Christian
And this from a person that never believed religion
But s*** my life is so f***** up, man I can’t get help but give in
I’m giving testimonies to strangers that I never met
I hopped on the pulpit and told them how I was truly based
Feel like I am free from all my sins when the service was over
Walked out the church , then got a call that my homie was murdered
And lost my faith again
…I’d rather not live like there isn’t a God than diet and find out there really is to think about it.”
