Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God will always follow your lead
You never steer us wrong
Cause You are our God
Remind me that don't define me
God will always follow your lead
You never steer us wrong
Cause You are our God
I travel far in this life to confront me
And spent the lifetime in
Search of God's country a citizen
Eyes haven't seen what I'm envisioning
Heaven on Earth, tell the world I'm visiting
Kingdom, nation, redeemed and patience
We seen decadence, unseen vibrations
That lead us, You free us to reach us
To see us
Mama always said that I had Your features
It's all day day for Ye-Ye
We goin' up, goin' way-way
I whip PJ's on the PJ now our PJ got the DJ
Ever since Ye got with GAP
Calvin Klein couldn't see K
Took her all the time with her P day
Man, it feel like my B day
It's Birthday Party, baby
Remind me that don't define me
God will always follow your lead
You never steered me wrong
Cause You are our God
Give it to You, oh you are our God
You are holy, You are mighty
Stand in Your presence
Run in Your presence Stand in Your glory
That’s in Your glory, Jesus yeah
When I was young
I learned the power of the tongue
And how ever I speak it
It's how I will become
And young Solomone goin’
Through the metropolitan
But still I would acknowledge Him
I left childish ways behind me
Don’t let these days and people define me
I lean not on my understanding
When things got defiant
I could slay a giant with a slingshot
Remind me that don't define me
God will always follow your lead
You never steer us wrong
Cause You are our God
The lyrics to Kanye West's song "In God's Country" at first glance seem to be a reminder that God is a guiding force in life and that He should not be defined by our limited understanding. The repetition of the lines "Remind me that don't define me, God will always follow your lead, You never steer us wrong, Cause You are our God" emphasizes the need to trust in God's guidance and surrender control to Him.
The song speaks of a personal journey of self-discovery and the search for "God's country." This can be interpreted as the pursuit of a higher state of consciousness or enlightenment, where one can experience the presence of God in a profound way. The lyrics mention traveling far and spending a lifetime in search of this elusive destination. It suggests that this search is a constant endeavor, as the line "eyes haven't seen what I'm envisioning" implies the presence of a divine, heavenly realm that is beyond our current perception.
Additionally, the lyrics touch on the concept of redemption and patience. It speaks of unseen vibrations and a journey that leads to freedom and ultimately to God. The line "Mama always said that I had Your features" could be interpreted as recognizing God's presence within oneself and the potential for divine traits to manifest.
The song also includes references to Kanye West's personal achievements and ventures, such as his collaboration with GAP and his success in the fashion industry. However, these references seem to be used as a backdrop to showcase that even in his success and accomplishments, he acknowledges God as the ultimate guide and source of strength.
Overall, "In God's Country" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages listeners to trust in God's lead, seek spiritual growth, and recognize the presence of the divine in their lives.
