Sinful Remission

The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
 Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
 Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
 Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
 And it all dripped
 (Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 And it all drips
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die
 Yeah
 Yeah
 In a war with myself, denying all my sin
 Went from applauding myself to givin' it all to Him
 I'm lost till the conviction begins to settle in
 Off godly wisdom, He know if He speak it then I'ma listen
 Like Paul, He gon' shake the floor until i'm out of prison
 Mashiach, above the law like the politicians
 His rule is fiat, my vocation a griot
 Cross-referencing holy scriptures with Cheikh anta Diop
 Fruit of the Spirit, I'm crushing grapes in these Adidas
 Steeped in my faith, I'm safe, I cannot sever ties
 Half-dressed brown-skinned women, I gotta deflect my eyes
 They push sex, money, and murder on the urban disenfranchised
 But God blessed from the south side of the projects
 They saw potential for death, so they supplied techs
 But what they didn't expect was a divine flex
 They thought our time was up, the Father made our time stretch
 The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
 Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
 Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
 Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
 And it all dripped
 (Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 And it all drips
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die
 Yeah
 Nah I'm straight, I been doing good
 I'm blessed beyond measure
 My text, not my tech on my dresser
 My need and my blessin' gon' connect under pressure
 It feel like hate, but I know it's love when God correct us
 I took my idol off my necklace, I was jaded
 Satan want me to disavow what is sacred
 Before Yah formed creation, it was shapeless
 Instead of the trends, I just follow the foundation
 My lens got a shallow depth of field
 Once I'm focused, the non-essentials get blurred out
 I've been cursed out
 In the face of obstacles I just press through like turn styles
 And I'm not as righteous as many tend to think, as it turns out
 I told my wife that she couldn't leave
 She said, "Why?" I said, "Because I didn't cheat"
 She said, "Oh really, well then, what about pornography?"
 I said, "Dang, according to God that is the same thing"
 The times I was so blind, I needed wisdom
 Did a search for my renewed mind, it came up missing
 Pour a glass of that new wine, sinful remission
 Blood, sweat, and tears, blood, sweat, and tears
 And it all dripped
 (Like) Christ in the garden of Gethsemane
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 And it all drips
 I don't want to die, but it's killing me
 Let it all drip
 I don't want to die
 Yeah
