The World We Live In - FINALE #11 - Don’t Backslide

Remember in church             

The Pastor
Would say
Don’t backslide
As a child the message was heard
However
I wasn’t able to translate the understanding
Until I was older
Don’t Backslide
I constantly hear
Don’t Backslide
It was embedded in my ear
Don’t BackslideWas the families career
Don’t Backslide
Was the number one fear
Don’t Backslide
Was the household goal
Don’t Backslide
What the parents sold
Don’t Backslide
What the Pastor preached bold
Don’t backslide
See you’re the preacher’s son
Don’t Backslide
Or the daughter on the drums
Don’t Backslide
You’re a deacon right
Don’t Backslide
You be hitting that pipe every night
Don’t backslide
Yo the usher is a freak
Don’t backslide
She be on the corner every week
Don’t backslide
You the loudest in the congregation
Don’t backslide
But not dealing with your own convictions
Don’t backslide
You don’t take care of your kids
Don’t backslide
But you make sure you take care of his
Don’t backslide
You spending money on hoes
Don’t backslide
Wondering why you fucking broke
Don’t backslide
You don’t have anywhere to live
Don’t backslide
That dick and pussy you give
Don’t backslide
You don’t believe in God
Don’t backslide
But you’re praying to the opps
Don’t backslide
You constantly cheating on your wife
Don’t backslide
Your husband is nowhere in sight
Don’t backslide
You drinking back-to-back
Don’t backslide
To forget the ish you lack
Don’t backslide
You were done around 3
Don’t backslide
Why the fuck you not home with me
Don’t backslide
How many times they got to cheat
Don’t backslide
He’ll fuck any bitch with a pussy beat
Don’t backslide
That cookie look good no bout
Don’t backslide
You’ll be paying the weight per the pound
Don’t backslide
Don’t backslide
Don’t backslide
I don’t know about you
Backsliding saved my life
No it wasn’t intentional
I definitely paid the price
I fought the good fight
I never gave up
For that God
Showed up and showed out
I’m thankful for my tails and tribulations
Without them I’ll just be another sinner
Standing still waiting for an revelation
It’s okay if you backslide
Just make it your goal
To slide back in the arms of God
