I. Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's was all from the pain
I had to change my ways and fix my mistakes
I was blind, didn't see the love was fake
But the way I'm bouta act
I'm not sorry
I was there, but you wasn't for me
Now they saying that I'm salty
Couldn't sleep, I was up 'till the morning
Tryna find a way, I had a lot of problems
Putting two and two together like equation
Trying get myself around the situation
I was losing my mind but I was patient
Now they see me and they say congratulations
You know I came from the mud, that's why I'm heartless
Remember I ain't had no money in my pockets
Remember I was down bad, I was crawling on the ground
When I hit you up, you didn't even make a sound
You heard me on my songs now you saying that you proud
You gotta be a fool if you think that I'ma clown
I gotta show these niggas that I don't play around
Nobody gone ride when it all goes down
Choosing friends over money, that was so wrong
But who live and you learn, you gotta move on
And I'm glad that I went through some hard times
If I didn't, I'd be living life in a lie
Cause nobody understand, it's do or die
I ain't tryna die, I'm just tryna live my life
Mama taught me that in life I gotta sacrifice if I wanna survive
I'm that nigga but nobody ever realize
Speak the truth all the time, I don't gotta lie
I heard a lot of people told me that I've change
It's was all from the pain
I had to change my ways and fix my mistakes
I was blind, didn't see the love was fake
But the way I'm bouta act
I'm not sorry
I was there, but you wasn't for me
Now they saying that I'm salty
Niggas hating now they see that I'm ballin'
Changes
So much changes (oh, ohhh)
Don't even you can take it (ohhh)
Living my life so outrageous
Outrageous
All that fake shit
So much fake shit (so much fake shit)
And all of the shit so contagious
Friends with the money, not fake bitch
Not no fake bitch
Coming at me with all you problems
That's the past, if you think that I'm gone solve em
You did me dirty, cut me off when I was only tryna help you
You ungrateful piece of, hmm
And I moved on with my life
Cause who gone stay there?
Best believe I'll get the cheddar and go off the map
Cause all y'all bitches fake as shit,
ain't no denying that,
And if I had to go off on 'em just to spit the fact
I'ma do what I gotta do, you just believe in that
Cause if it ever get to where I do not give a fuck
Nigga I really do not give a fuck
I heard a lot of people told me that I've change (I heard a lot)
It's was all from the pain
I had to change my ways and fix my mistakes (change my ways, fix my mistakes)
I was blind, didn't see the love was fake
But the way I'm bouta act
I'm not sorry (not sorry)
I was there, but you wasn't for me (for me)
Now they saying that I'm salty (oh, oh, ohhh)
Niggas hating now they see that I'm ballin'
The song "Marie" by I. Berlin is a call to share testimony about God's goodness amidst life's storms. The first verse speaks of the difficulty of recognizing the focus of one's heart when life's cycles keep perpetuating the same pattern. However, the singer recalls that God has promised victory, and everything that happens now is a thing of the past. It is now time to share the testimony of what God has done in their life. The chorus cautions against being overwhelmed by storms and waves, urging listeners to hold on to their soul and fight against control. The singer recalls how God has been faithful in calming the storms of their heart while they were fighting against him. When the tides were pulling them under, God was right there to make things clear.
The second verse urges listeners to practice faith instead of fear and to realize that the calm is always near. The storms may come, and they may go, but they must remain steadfast in their faith and not let anyone take their peace or joy. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the call for listeners to share their testimonies and come before God, who fights for them. The song's title, Marie, is not mentioned in the lyrics and remains a mystery.

I never noticed that my heart was so focused on this, la-la-la-la
It's easy to be unaware of what's really important when you're caught up in the cycle of life.
See, it’s hard to notice when these cycles keep falling for it, oh-oh-oh-oh
It's difficult to break free of the repetitive patterns we find ourselves in.
But You said, “It’s done”
God promised that everything would work out in the end.
Yeah, You promised me victory
Everything that happens now is history
Tell them, gotta tell them what He’s done for me, yeah
God has already won the battle and we should share with others the amazing things He has done for us.
Storms they come and go (Storms they come)
Don’t let them take your soul now (No)
Waves, they come and go (Waves, they come and go)
Don’t let them take control now (Don’t let them take control)
Difficulties in life will pass, but we should remain steadfast and not let them affect our spirit or our faith.
So tell ‘em your story
Righteous and holy, He’s fighting for us
Waves of Your glory
Life is worth changing, take control
Sharing our story of God's goodness can inspire others and remind us that He is always fighting for us and that His blessings are worth changing our lives for.
You calm the storms of my heart when I’m fighting You, when I’m fighting You
And when the tides pulling me under screaming out Your name
Yeah, out Your name
And there’s no way of fighting it (There's no way)
When the storm is coming in
But You’re right there (You're right there for me, yeah yeah) Everything becomes clear
God has the power to calm our fears and doubts, even when we resist. He is by our side through the worst of storms and gives us clarity when we need it most.
I refuse to (Aye) give in, I know
I’m wiser than I used to be (So much wiser)
Love drew colors in the night
Gave me the strength of life
And You are the reason why
Having faith in God makes us stronger and wiser, and His love offers hope even in the darkest moments.
Let’s all come before Him
Righteous and holy, He’s fighting for us
Waves of Your glory
Life is worth changing, take control
Gathering together in worship and recognizing that God is always fighting for us can bring His glory into our lives and motivate us to make positive changes.
Practicing my faith instead of fear
Weather the storm ‘cause the calm is always near, yeah-oh
I stayed afloat ‘cause I always kept You near
When the waves come crashing in, oh (Tell them, gotta tell them what He’s)
Focusing on our faith rather than fear can help us stay afloat in difficult times, and remembering that God is always near gives us hope and strength to weather any storm.
Storm is over and it’s past us now (Storm is over, ooh)
Leave it all behind (All behind)
Don’t let them take your peace (Don't let them take your peace) Take your joy
(Oh ’till the waves come crashing in)
Once the storm has passed, we must let go of the difficulties and not let them steal our peace and joy moving forward.

The 1940 Rhythm Nightclub fire (Natchez, MS) brought me here. Walter Barnes had his band play this song to calm the crowd as the building burned around them. Morbid comment, but as a musician I find facts like this very interesting. You gotta respect guys who literally play until they die (Walter Barnes and 9 bandmates did that night)!
