A Lyrical Reimagining:
(Intro - Glitching synth arpeggio and a distorted vocal sample: "M-m-mama...")
(Verse 1)
Yeah, mama told me, youngin' in the game
Screen glowin' on me, whisperin' my name
"Son, sit beside me, in this digital haze
Lemme drop some truth for these last of days."
"Take your time, boy, don't you chase the clout
All these empty promises, they just leave you in a drought
You'll find a real one, a prayer in her eyes
And don't forget the King who reigns beyond the skies."
(Chorus - Heavy 808s, stuttering hi-hats)
"Be a s-s-simple...k-k-kind of man
God's plan...under-under-understand.
Baby, be a simple...gl-gl-glitch in the system, man
Won't you do this for the Lamb, if you can?"
(Verse 2)
Forget the follower count, the rich man's flex
All that you need now is the Word in your text
And you can do this, yeah, if you only pray
All that I want for you, my son, is to walk in His way.
Don't you worry, you gon' find your place
Follow the Spirit, runnin' in your own race
And you can do this, oh boy, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be sanctified.
(Chorus - Heavy 808s, stuttering hi-hats)
"Be a s-s-simple...k-k-kind of man
God's plan...under-under-understand.
Baby, be a simple...gl-gl-glitch in the system, man
Won't you do this for the Lamb, if you can?"
(Bridge - Music breaks down to a distorted piano loop and whispered vocals)
The world is noisy...so much static in the air...
They sell you lies...but the truth is...right...there...
In the brokenness...in the glitches...He's there...
(Outro - The beat drops back in, heavier and more distorted. The chorus is chopped and screwed, repeating "simple...God's plan...glitch...Lamb" until it fades into a final, sustained synth note and the sound of a digital crash.)
