[Verse 1]
Dad says, “Son, if you want it, go get it”
Mom says, “Son, if it’s yours it’s yours forget it”
I don’t get it, how could they both be right
But then at the same time, how could they be sounding so opposite?
Contradicting ideas conflicting my ears
If life ain’t a race, Then why we trying to get ahead of our peers?
If God is sovereign, covering those He loves
Then why am I still discovering suffering in the world?
The bank says “Dude you gotta save for the rainy day,”
Church says, “Tomorrow’s gonna take care of itself.”
Coach says, “Look mehn practice makes perfect,”
Is it worth it if the prophet says, “Nobody is perfect?”
What’s the profit?
They say what’s gonna be is really gonna be
So why they try so hard to avoid tragedy?
You got the right to choose, you better choose right
But you don’t know what’s right so you busy…

TORN UP OH!
Between good and bad oh
Sometimes I’m wondering, “Who am I oh”
TORN UP OH!
You might think I sound confused in these rhymes
I don’t mind, it just means I tell the truth all the time
You might think I sound confused in these rhymes
I don’t mind, it just means I tell the truth all the time
[Verse 2]
Why do you do good?
Is it for fear of hell or is it love for heaven?
Is it for fear of jail or is it love for freedom?
Is it for fear of the devil or is it love for God?
Are we more driven by hatred or driven more by love?
Sometimes when my minds sober, I’m bipolar
My insides disordered, I’m trying to find closure
To be honest, sometimes, I’m filled with a lotta questions
Sometimes, it seems the bible got contradictions
Like… forget it, coz on the other hand
Why do we keep looking for answers we can’t understand?
Time, space, life, death, and the universe
The intelligence of man, what a gift and a curse
But I get it, you can’t know everything about God
Coz if you knew everything, then you are God
Friday night, they getting turnt up
While I’m just sitting right here and I’m getting…

TORN UP OH!
Between good and bad oh

TORN UP OH!
You might think I sound confused in these rhymes

You might think I sound confused in these rhymes
I don’t mind, it just means I tell the truth all the time
[Verse 3]
If I don’t totally know you, then why should I follow you?
But If I totally know you, there’s no need to follow you
But see if life is a test, then it’s best, instead of reading
That you sit beside the person who knows all the answers
You see you can’t know everything
You can just follow the person who knows everything
You small-minded, stupid, diminutive, diminished being
Trying to understand the man whose hand made the cosmic
COME ON!
There’s a place to ask questions, and a place to leave em
You thinking you’re a free thinker? You just a slave to freedom
There’s a place for blessing, and a place for suffering
Nothing could ever eradicate the fact; He’s sovereign
You ain’t gotta understand Him, what for?
Coz if you totally understand Him, He’s God no more
You ain’t gotta understand Him, what for?
Mehn, if you totally understand Him, He’s God no more
