Sevin – Somebody Lied To Us

[Verse 1: Sevin]
Yo
I feel like a alien in my own land
And though I’m grateful you saved me
The homies hating me lately they can’t relate
They think it’s fake the way ya grace has just shaped me
My neighborhood’s crazy
Just like a baby I’m trying to cradle it in my own hands
And Lord knows I’m knowing I ain’t the Savior
But the least I could do is try to lead ‘em to him
And we are so broken in our behavior
But imagine what we could do if my people knew Him
When I never had nothing the hood was there
But I didn’t have nothin’
I couldn’t care
Then I met the risen Christ
And was given life
So now I’m living life to give ‘em life
What, I shouldn’t share?
Betraying the homeboys I wouldn’t dare
But if I say I love ‘em gotta tell ‘em the truth
The followers follow us
And then get swallowed up by the same game
That swallowed us it’s obvious we failing the youth
Huh
You see that Ruger in his hand glistenin’?
That little shooter thinks you’ll love him if he busts for you
But you were just using him for your ambitions
And he couldn’t see nothin’ because he trusted you
He gave his life for your hype
He’s doing life for a stripe
And you won’t even write bro a kite
You need the lil homies living wrong to get it on
That’s why you ain’t the one that’s trying to fight for what’s right
For real
Hope you listen I ain’t dissin’
I’m trying to plead with you
And every rellie that’s in it done got some influence
The lil’ homies is listened to what you feed
If you
Said it he did it ain’t no coincidence
The big homies raised us to die for em
On the other hand it was Christ gave His life for us
They said that love’s earned
So we would ride for em
But God loves with no return
Somebody lied to us
[Chorus: Sevin]
Brotherly Love Overcomes Our Destruction
Yeah
That’s the acronym for Blood right?
Christ’s love overcame our destruction
I guess He the only one doing Blood right
Community Revolution In Progress
Huh
That’s the acronym for Crip right?
Christ’s unity’s the solution to progress
I guess He the only one doing Crip right
Yuh
Somebody lied to us
Somebody lied to us
Somebody lied to us
C’mon
Somebody lied to us
You see it?
Somebody lied to us
I swear
Somebody lied to us
They wouldn’t be the ones that would die for us
Christ did it on the cross
Somebody lied to us

[Verse 2: H.U.R.T.]
I tried to talk to the streets but they don’t learn
Til ya can’t help em gotta tell em it’s your turn
Jail time is a candle with a slow burn
That’s if you blessed
With death it’s no return
Hopped off the porch and came out of broken homes
Never seen a happy family porch til we broke in homes
This ain’t right from the fight many broken bones
Heard we was kings so we settle for a broken throne
I understand for real I was you
Now I’m trying to tell you what you think is real’s not true
Loved yelling Cuz I was real bout blue
Now I’m covered in His blood like a real Damu
The streets say you real when they crying at your wake
If you walk away to get your life right then you fake
So I either gotta die live a life full of hate
To be real in your eyes realize that it ain’t love
We try to make the gang fill a void
But we can’t still avoid cuz the pain of a boy
Still remains in the noise
In our brain is the voice of Satan
Telling us the pain is poison
So when a homie get smoked by the enemies
And the thoughts of revenge take ya energy
Just know the same devil that manipulated ya’ll
Got them
So, who the real enemy?
Gepetto got ya thinkin’ that you’re real boy
Been the okey doke on a Loc that’s a kill ploy
Crip or Blood we done shed a grip of blood
‘Fore you spit a slug at another thug
Better chill boy
Cuz when you kill him ya kill you
Taking lives hardens hearts, that it will do
I’m talking to the fake and the real goons
Somebody lied to us listen to the real truth

[Chorus: Sevin]
Brotherly Love Overcomes Our Destruction
Yeah
That’s the acronym for Blood right?
Christ’s love overcame our destruction
I guess he the only one doing Blood right
Community Revolution In Progress
Huh
That’s the acronym for Crip right?
Christ’s unity’s the solution to progress
I guess He the only one doing Crip right
Yeah
Somebody lied to us
Somebody lied to us
Somebody lied to us
C’mon
Somebody lied to us
You see it?
Somebody lied to us
I swear
Somebody lied to us
They wouldn’t be the ones that would die for us
Christ did it on the cross
Somebody lied to us

[Verse 3: Sevin]
Yeah
He wanna be famous so he saying he function
E’ry nigga in the game amongst him
And he caught up in a gang of funkin’
Caught a case
And the judge made the same assumption
So they hit him with a gang injunction
Huh
The homie said he got you he made blood spill
But he only did it for that blood thrill
Plus he only did it off that drug pill
But he got you feeling like the love’s real
Now you feeling like you owe him a body
So you roll and you body somebody and your bodies they climb
But the same one that molded those bodies
He is holding your body
He gone body your body in time
Yeah
Now they celebrate in hell
Cuz they feeling like they’ll never get to Zion
Cuz they lost faith
Selling they soul for a little bit of fame
They gone know it ain’t no game
When they die and they see God’s face
Yeah
The world’s cold and hell is hot
We stuck up in this meltin’ pot
Instead of helpin em we sellin rock
Yeah
Living selfish while you tell us stop
I ain’t judgin I’m just statin facts
And I pray that we repent
Cuz it’s too late the day you come get us
Look how the slum did us
You the only one with us
Regenerate our faith and have grace on my young niggas

[Chorus: Sevin]
Brotherly Love Overcomes Our Destruction
Yeah
That’s the acronym for Blood right?
Christ’s love overcame our destruction
I guess he the only one doing Blood right
