Illuminate - How Will They Believe Feat. Illuminate lyrics

Yeah that's right Aye C'mon Yuh [Verse 1: Sevin] He bells with the jealousy of a failure inhaling the air Of the hell that envelopes him No relatives tellin' him it's gon be okay He swears the stress is gon make he OJ My suggestion is don't test that boy cuz he don't play He's worn down from the storm And it's pouring down in his hometown So he sits all alone with a torn frown Yeah He ain't eaten in days He don't speak he just prays He don't sleep he just lays there With a blank stare He's been abused since a boy That's why he's so paranoid And his youth's been destroyed And his soul has a void Shots of liquor popping fizzles And he's tootin' the blow Tried speakin' to the preacher But he's rebuking him so He figures God is the same If this preacher talks in his name Turned away from salvation Basically lost and ashamed He's got nowhere to turn No one to comfort his heart The church denied him the light So he succumbs to the dark Yuh [Chorus: Sevin] If you would take some time Shine your light Maybe I could get it right How will I know that He loves me if you don't? That He chases and embraces a sinner if you won't? If you would love me just as I am Maybe I would understand You say that you love me enough to bear my pain? You wear His name rellie why don't you care the same? [Verse 2: Sevin] She soon to strip for them pills Breaking her heel for the scrill Turned out by the thrill So burned out she can't feel He manipulated her mind now she can't cut him away She's degrading her body Obviously stuck in her ways Now she's struck with the AIDS Slow sentence to d**h He throws her back to the blade No commitment is left So she skips to the meth The hobby taking her pain But it's bakin' her brain So she ain't thinking the same She never got guidance from mother Talked to a pastor but he said she had to change Before the father could love her Now she's feeling so stranded and left abandoned again Her whole life she's been misused For the advancements of men She's reaching for heaven But she's left in this hell Finds out she is pregnant babies infected as well Rejected him Well no one knows how bad it feels So she swallows a whole bottle of pills C'mon [Chorus: Sevin] If you would take some time Shine your light Maybe I could get it right How will I know that He loves me if you don't That He chases and embraces a sinner if you won't If you would love me just as I am Maybe I would understand You say that you love me enough to bear my pain You wear His name rellie why don't you care the same [Verse 3: Illuminate] I tried to quit but that temptation keeps calling my name But I keep on turning to sin cuz it's numbing my pain And I love the Lord with all my heart and I trust in his name But if you only knew my soul is so crushed from this pain But I can't tell nobody They can't see me the same The pressure of this ministry is gon' drive me insane Yeah they invite me out and pay me for my time But do they even care about the man behind this grind? Or do they want to use and abuse my gifting Cuz I've been crying out but Lord is anybody listening? At this point I don't care about positions I'm so broken and insecure Lord I need fixing I need to be discipled and still need to be fathered But they're too busy and they treat me like they can't be bothered Yeah and this is coming from one of our own We gotta stop shooting our wounded and welcome them home Church [Chorus: Sevin] If you would take some time Shine your light Maybe I could get it right How will I know that He loves me if you don't? That He chases and embraces a sinner if you won't? If you would love me just as I am Maybe I would understand You say that you love me enough to bear my pain You wear His name why don't you care the same [Outro: Sevin] And if you would love me just as I am Maybe I would understand
