Child of God Lyrics by Jim Wetherall

Swish Jim: The Mixtape

2020

[Intro]
I think for me, being a Christian means that I have full assurance knowing that I don't have to be perfect because Jesus has saved me from my sins through his death on the cross, and now because of this, I want to know him better and to strive to live like him every single day. That's why I'm a child of God
[Verse 1]
Last year I turned 18
Went out for a drink at the local
Bought myself a Coopers Pale Ale
Only had 1 beer in total
Don’t wanna get drunk anymore
I’m sick of waking up hungover
When my head is really sore
And I am still far from sober
Yеah, I had to go and transform
Into a responsible being
Who madе not going drinking his new norm
A better life I am seeing
The only downside is the COVID
Couldn’t gather in large groups anymore
Lockdown had us all in a fit
Once we were all confined indoors
[Verse 2]
Yeah, however my faith with God is strong and although this virus has taken its toll it won’t be too long
Before there is a vaccine developed and it will start being distributed to those for it who are zealous
Gotta pray to him everyday that he will intervene and make everyone who’s been infected bounce back and turn them clean
More deaths from this is the last thing that we need, this situation’s very violent just like a level of Assassin’s Creed
[Verse 3]
I paid for this beat with money
Rappers be using it to buy their lean
I’ve never done anything, I have stayed mostly clean
But the only exception was when I did weed
I was peer-pressured felt like a force feed
It was something that I simply didn’t even need
Thankfully, I didn’t get higher like Lil Keed
Or otherwise I would’ve been fried not freed
I deeply regret it, and I ain’t wanna go back there again
I cannot be lettin’, myself tryna be like those type of men
Fitting in with the crowd, with God on my side I don’t need to do that
I am with Him now, His glory really the best thing to look at
[Verse 4]
Last year I ain’t really know
Which path I wanted to go
Didn’t know how to grow
I thought God was my foe
I knew he was there even though
I was out running the show
For myself and all the bros
Maturity was really slow
Felt like I took a huge blow
But now I know
But now I know, that He died to save our sins, we can be with him
All those years ago, nailed to the cross, Jesus is the boss
Bigger than Rick Ross, time to live our lives, time to go and thrive
We won’t take a loss, when he’s on our side, he will be our guide
Through this wild ride, which is called life
[Outro]
Bigger than Rick Ross, time to live our lives, time to go and thrive
We won’t take a loss, when he’s on our side, he will be our guide
Through this wild ride, which is called life
