John Givez - Empty God Dreams (bonus) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Tell the story of a young frail boy tryna send the world regards
Troubled in this earth, he was in a quarrel with God
I won't let go until you bless me, but man
These niggas on the corner tryna test me, it's sketchy
These snakes in the grass how they slither
Loyalty is scarce family is getting slimmer
Blow it by the pound, I suffer from paranoia
And I know you won't believe me when I tell you I enjoy it
On the voyage for it all
Money, cars and clothes
You know I gotta ball
F*** the law I suppose
Police get behind me, do you know I'm booking long ways
Ain't no chance of taking me to county I belong free
The strap is on me, I ain't going without a fight
They tell me I'm a rebel for willing to lose my life for no particular cause
I pause and think about it
I don't see no other option but they caution me about it
I'm just tryna be about it, cause ain't no way to be up out it
This is my life ain't no blue skies, see 'em cloudy
Made a deal with the devil for a way here
And ain't no refunds cause the devil don't play fair

[Pre-Hook]
You're a soul with a body
Not a body with a soul
Do you know what you're doing
Or just doing what you know?
Don't you care about heaven and hell?

[Hook]
I'm so tired, I'm so full
And I can't deny it
Please gimme my soul
(I ain't never letting go)
Yeah, please gimme my soul
(I ain't never letting go)
Take my money, you can have my gold
I just need some peace, on my knees begging
Gimme my soul
(I ain't never letting go)
Yeah, gimme my soul
(I ain't never letting go)

[Bridge]
I made a deal with the devil for a way here
And ain't no refunds cause the devil don't play fair

[Verse 2: John Givez]
But then it all came to him
God finally gave a name to him
Sitting in his cell with no one to put the blame to
He thought about authority and how he couldn't mask it
His actions had left him with a victimized passion
But real life, he no longer could conceal light
Laying in the dark solitude but he feel right
Door shut, sealed tight
But he know he free
Got arrested so he could rest in the holy sleep
God how you holding me is what he thought to himself
In the presence of His mercy and lost by His help
Count the cost of his help is what his mamma used to say
Don't you harden up your heart, hear the voice of God today
All the letters on the page became a lie to him
All them old ways he decided he could die to 'em
Hope has arisen he's no longer in a prison of his mind
Joy cometh in the morning, all he needed was some time
God dreams

[Bridge]
When I wake up everyday
I thank the Lord that we are saved
I know my ways are not His ways
That's why you should pray for me(x2)

[Hook]

[Outro]
These empty God dreams are no longer empty
In fact they are full
John 10:10 reads
"The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy
But I am come that you may have life, and have it to the full"
He is the gate
The way, the truth, and the life
If you're a rebel you can rebel with your soul
