KB - Open Letter (Battlefield) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: KB]
I really appreciate ya'll coming out to pray with me man
My heart's just been real heavy here lately man
I got a stack of letters here and I thought we should read a couple of 'em
And pray at the end, so I got one right here from Atlanta, it says:

[Verse 1: KB]

Dear KB
What's going on it's Ashley from the show
That you was doing with Trip Lee
The Crew and the Spirit was moving man it was really dope
When y'all left the A, I was so encouraged in the faith
And I blessed the Lord for HGA
I wanna start this off by saying thanks

(There's a battle going on)
But lately, I've had this struggle with:
Secrets of my past in the past five years of singleness
(I know it) I'm lusting I'm sinning but my lust here is different
Since I've been so alone I kinda long for the touch of a woman

(There's a battle going on)
And I know it's wrong, but dudes never ever show me attention
I go unnoticed, it was a joke but girls show me interest
Dudes at my church say that I'm the type of chick that they want (they lie)
But when I see the girl they date I know they really don't
I get jealous quick I hate the mirror I don't feel pretty
I've even contemplated surgery to feel skinny
I know it's real silly, the world tells me just embrace it - you were born this way (that's a lie, it's just lust)

I tried talking to the people at church but they just look at me funny only adding to the hurt
Now I'm torn cause the other day I stumbled over porn I'm supposed to be a leader man how can I move on? I know (this is a lie)
That's why I'm coming to you praying I'm praying that you can pray for you sister to make it through
I'm crying as I write cause I wanna be right
Many girls have fallen and I don't wanna fall too

[Hook: KB & Jai]
There's a war inside my heart and mind every day I fight it
So make me align to the truth and rely on your Spirit inside me
(It's time to make) war war war war war war cause life is a battlefield
War war war war war war cause life is a battlefield

[Verse 2: Swoope]
Dear KB
We're big fans of yours me and my lady
When you came to the show we was in the front row
Screaming one one six going
Crazy all for the HGA, was a crazy night
What's even crazier is the girl I was dating then is fiance
Now - I'm engaged to her
The words that you left man rocked us
So I went and got her left hand rocked up
But if I could be honest
I'm trying hard to abstain and not get her knocked up
Of course I want kids
But even more than that I wanna please the Father
But when I look into her eyes I can't concentrate man I can't even lie I wanna consummate

She's the one I'm sure, but I wanna stay pure
Scary the way that I'm yearning for her
Getting married but I'm burning for her
Hard for me to wait till she walk in that aisle
Down in a white gown, I'm thinking night gown, man I wanna do it right now
Why wait when I feel like she my wife now?

The way that I'm feeling is natural, but KB is it godly?
Is it wrong lust, or strong love this feeling inside for wifey?
Honor the Lord in dating her
Wanna do the same in waiting, but
This temptation's a beast please pray for us

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Trip Lee]
Dear God
We come in His name
The slain and risen
Who's running this thing
Christ the Lord
The one who can bring
Healing the hurts of the ones that He claims
We think we got nothing to gain
By clinging to Christ the love of the King
But He was under the same
Tempted and hurt He's accustomed to pain

Though they feel it feel it
Pain but they joy can kill it kill it
Feeling like life been pillaged
Can I please intercede for a minute
This is
Not out of Your grasp
Your grace can shake, Your power can smash
I pray this hour and ask
Allow them to see Your power surpass

That sin devour their past
Drowning with mercy, shower them fast
Give them the faith to follow the Father
He's Abba, Your Honor, please swallow the trash

Dear Lord, you were never gone
You promised You'd make 'em forever strong
Your arm isn't short, it is very long
Make 'em like Christ, You get 'em home

[Hook]
