Illusent - Idol Factory [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Yo, I was raised I the dungeon of rap, word to Nasty Nas Escobar
The 36 chambers of death, that was my repertoire
I used to bang the purple tape in the boom box
And NWA schooled me how to view cops
These were my role models, gangstas with gold bottles
Who wouldn’t hesitate to throw hollows
At they rivals, I read the Bible
And got convicted that these dudes were my idols
It didn’t help that my heart was a factory
Of idolatry you’ll never see how that impacted me
Actually, if not rap then it would’ve been
Something else, I couldn’t win, homie, I am good at sin
But by His grace, I’m getting better at repentance
And by His grace, I ain’t eternally sentenced
To condemnation that I fully deserve
Until Christ stepped in, and a substitution occurred, word

[Hook]
Lord, take these idols out of my life! Replace them with your marvelous light!
Lord, take these idols out of my life! Replace them with your marvelous light!

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like my heart is really controlling me
But I know that the Holy Spirit is shaping and molding me
Into the image of Jesus not Lil’ Wayne
You can’t have sanctification without a little pain
So I rejoice when my idols are smashed
By God it’s vital in fact, (He) uses the Bible for that
It doesn’t matter if I’m kicking and screaming
Lord, keep me from leaving, I need strength to believe in You (echo)
You as my everything, I mean my everything
Preeminent in every facet of my very being
Give me a flame that burns brighter than kerosene
Bringing more glory to Your name than I could ever dream
It’s so cool how You can use a fool
You’re infinitely wise, I’m outside of Your school
Fully deserve death, but You gave me an exodus
So I trust in Jesus the prerequisite

[Hook]

[Spoken from Romans 1:24-25]

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen
