Uh, can I get a amen? (Good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen
Uh, can I get a amen? (Good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen
Uh, Miss Pretty Wings
Girl, which way you fall from?
With your brown skin, smile sweet like a Cinnabon
And for your love I slow dance around the sun
'Til we blend together as one
'Til you leave as quick as they came
And tell me I'm not the one
Like why Cupid ain't got no aim, uh
I'm usually not the type that just be running game
Never asked your name, just how your day went, shit
So please excuse me if I change the subject, but
My favorite color, the same color your sundress
Just tryna see how your mind look when it's undressed
I'm passed cloud nine, your love so high I just embrace the ride
Thought of coming down makes me feel deprived
To love, I see your smile, it's like I never knew love
Who, her? That's what they ask when niggas see me scroll up, uh
Just a girl from my DMs that couldn't back it up
So I saved the name as "Twitter Fingers" 'cause she acting up
But who am I to judge?
Love is blind, out of sight, out of mind
Yet you think about a nigga some time
Moon sign, red bone like my birthstone
That earth-tone sundress make a nigga sing a church song
Uh, can I get a amen? (Good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen
Uh, can I get a amen? (Good God)
Amen (good God)
Amen (sundress make a nigga sing a church song)
Unless the beat drops and make me put a verse on
Bitches brew is visual, she could put a curse on the softest lips
And steal your heart like a firstborn
Break up, we make up, rebound like Gina Gershon
Her song is worth singing
The blessing, the best that you could hope for
Ready and willing team, building like a ropes course
No need in stressin', perfection that shit is folklore
Just keep it real with me, no need to pretend at all
Everybody know that I'm a man of many flaws
But this is ours and we preserve it at any cost
Late nights, laying in the bed, I fiend
To go Prince Akeem and paint the walls with a semi-gloss
So tell your mama, tell your cousin, tell your relatives
By telephone or telegram to Tel Aviv
A tale of two lovers, a bond sure as the air I breath
Praises to the Elohim
Let me get a
Amen (good God)

Amen
No need to hope 'cause some dreams come true
Make a wish, blow out the candles, I'm envisioning you
Sweet angel of mine, so fine, I'm inclined
Thanking God for his design, to want more would be a crime
Not guilty, anytime thoughts become filthy
Anywhere Ms. Jackson, 'cause you nasty
Petite like a Vashtie, talent like Regina's
I can't stand the rain, sock it to me, misdemeanor
Gonna need FEMA to send a lifeboat
Oprah send a life coach
Yoga, chai latte and the milk's oat
Said a whole lot, to say that life change
No longer too strange
People lost looking for the same things, I mean
This is more than a heavy love affair
My soul on fire, Marvin vocals in the air
You my wish, you the flash, you the flare
You my everything, every night in my prayers
Got me saying amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
The lyrics of Lute Little Brother's song Amen are heartfelt and honest. The first line "Sundress makes a nigga sing a church song" is the hook of the song, and sets the tone for the rest of the song. In the first verse, Lute talks about a girl he is interested in, describing her as having brown skin and a smile that is as sweet as a Cinnabon. He talks about how he loves her, dances around the sun for her, and sees her in his mind like never before. However, she leaves him just as quickly as she came, and he is left heartbroken. He wonders why Cupid does not have any aim and even goes as far as saving her name as Twitter Fingers. Despite all of this, he cannot help but think of her, and her sundress still makes him sing a church song.
In the second verse, Lute talks about his relationship with the girl. He admits that they have their ups and downs, but no matter what happens, they always make up. He talks about how he wants to make things work out and is willing to do whatever it takes. He goes on to say that he is a flawed person but that he cherishes their relationship and will do anything to preserve it. He even goes as far as to say that he will lay in bed and paint the walls with a semi-gloss. He ends the song by saying that the girl is everything to him and he thanks God for her every night in his prayers.
Overall, Amen is a beautiful song that talks about love and the lengths that people will go to keep it alive. It is a poignant reminder that no matter how many flaws people may have, true love always prevails.
