Kill Me
F.I.P. Lyrics

You can't kill me, I'm a child of the King
No one can take away my life, for I am a child of Elohim (God).

Black is my skin, hands up! Don't shoot
My African heritage defines me and yet I am vulnerable to violent discrimination by law enforcement.

Braids and dreadlocks go deep in our roots
My American identity is intricately woven with my African heritage.

Rapping in the county with Ceno on the block
I started rapping in Maywood, a suburb of Chicago.

Years before I even heard of Christian hip hop
I've been rapping for a long time before I discovered Christian hip hop.

Grind ten years bought my own family a home
I worked hard for a decade and finally bought a house for my family.

Breakaway from toxic people, Israel, shalom
I broke away from toxic relationships and said goodbye to them with the Hebrew word for peace (shalom).

Living check to check and struggling to pay rent
I struggled financially, living paycheck to paycheck and barely making ends meet.

Champion like the Lakers, Warrior undertaker
I am a champion like the Lakers and a warrior like a pro wrestler (undertaker).

One true God and his name not Satan
There is only one true God and his identity is not that of the deceiver (Satan).

Ahab stop cappin' Jezebel stop hatin'
Ahab and Jezebel were notorious in the Bible for their deception and hatred. I am calling out anyone who behaves like them to stop their foolishness.

Refused to get entangled like God or the angels
I refuse to get entangled in worldly struggles like God or his heavenly hosts, instead focusing on my mission.

Ducking strange women 'cause Lord know they dangerous
I avoid getting involved with women who are not trustworthy, because the Lord knows they can be dangerous.

Lady being nice but I know she a devil
A woman may seem kind, but I must be careful because I know she is deceitful like the devil.

Know I got a wife and still on whatever
I am committed to my wife, but still have to protect myself from dangerous women.

The self-righteous say, what type of pastor are you?
People who think they are better than others question my ability to be a pastor.

Where were you when I got chased by the blue?
You were not there when I was being chased by the police.

Auntie Lola told me to just kill myself
My aunt encouraged me to end my life, but I know that I am blessed by Jesus.

No genuine love, only scorn and mean mugs
People only show me disdain and hostility, without truly loving me.

RIP to my dad, Pretty Percy, June Bug
Rest in Peace to my father, named Pretty Percy, and to my uncle, nicknamed June Bug.

Heart beating fast poled up Windy City
My heart is racing as I feel trapped in the Windy City (Chicago).

Get on the ground! This is a stickup
Someone is holding me up with a gun and telling me to get down on the ground.

Chased by the police and jumped on the e-way
The police are pursuing me and I am running along the expressway to escape.

Broke both wrists and five years had a place to stay
After breaking both wrists, I served five years in prison but at least I had a place to live.

Five years in the state pen, removed from kin
I was imprisoned for five years and separated from my family.
