Olive Oil
Oswin Benjamin Lyrics

Need your hand up off the wheel
I don't want anyone else controlling my life and decisions.

No no don't need no chauffeur
I do not need anyone to drive me, I am capable of doing it myself.

Handle on my drive. I Kyrie the notion.
I have control over my own life and I am able to handle any situation that comes my way.

I don't need your Two Cents, keep that in yo loafers
I do not want any advice or opinions from anyone else, they can keep it to themselves.

Turned powder into milk, the bed to a sofa
I have the ability to turn difficult situations into something comforting and positive.

Syrup on the wonder bread a prayer unto Jehovah
Even the simplest things can be meaningful and prayer-worthy.

Water with the lemon drops, held a n***a over
Even the smallest things, like a glass of water with lemon drops, can make a big difference in our lives in times of need.

Wet dreaming of being in chocha,
Fantasizing about sexual desires.

Day Dreaming of being older watching Arnold Gerald and Olga
Thinking about growing up and watching inspirational figures while still being young.

Before the focus before life approached us
Before becoming responsible adults and committed to our lives.

N****s had the glow in a world full of shonuffs
At one point, people were thriving in a world that only had dreary options.

Divinely selected
Blessed by God and chosen for a special purpose.

Unaware I'm chosen
Despite being chosen by God, I may not be aware of it yet.

Delay by my collarbone. Weight on my shoulder.
I have been burdened by obstacles and setbacks that have delayed my progress.

Baptized in creatine I wade in the water.
Metaphorically, I have been immersed in a powerful experience, one that has transformed me.

Momma insufficient funds Laid at the alter
My mother prayed for me extensively despite any financial struggles we faced.

Olive oil when she prayed for us GOD!
Olive oil was used as a symbol of faith and protection in prayer.

Phone off but I still can't stray from the call.  No No
Despite not being connected to the rest of the world through technology, I cannot stray from the calling of my life, my purpose.

Either wasn't enough oil or Momma didn't pray that good
Perhaps my spiritual protection was not as strong as needed at some points in my life.

I took a toke and saw the demons in the old backwoods
I have had experiences with evil that have impacted me significantly.

Ain't No rhythm dancing wit the devils. With a long flat foot and two left feet.
Dealing with demons is unsteady and unpredictable, it's like trying to dance with two left feet.

Cuffing hearts with intent to cardiac arrest me
Some people in my life have hurt me deeply and intentionally, even affecting my heart health.

Condemned but you blessed me
Despite being condemned by some people, I have still been blessed in my life.

On a roll with the one above when y'all would detest me
Even when others oppose me, I have had positive momentum with a higher power on my side.

Use my name just to push my buttons they love to oppress me
People like to use my identity to bother and oppress me, which is frustrating and hurtful.

Luke Cage to the hatred endured durable passion
I have remained strong and passionate even in the face of hate and opposition, like the fictional character Luke Cage.

Passive to fact that My flesh weak Depressed
I have struggled with depression and physical weakness despite putting up a strong front and being passive about it.

But The best Me on the way now
Despite my struggles, I am becoming the best version of myself and working towards my goals.

Prayed To the lord Like shuttlesworth for the rain Down
Like the character in the movie, I have prayed to a higher power for help through difficult times.

Took a lot of L's my Allen keys opened doors
Even when faced with losses and failures, I have been able to find new opportunities and open doors using the skills and tools I have available.

More rays then Flanagan. Sun. Slept on but they wake now double minded men unstable in all they ways. Spread. Hate. Then sing praise
I have more radiance and light to offer than people realize, and those who switch between positivity and negativity are unreliable and difficult to trust.

Too Phony y'all Kevin gates woah Olive. Oil Kept the Legion away
Like the biblical reference, olive oil has been a symbol of spiritual protection and kept me safe from darkness and negativity.

The worst situation bought the best outta me
Even in the most difficult situations, I have been able to find my inner strength and become a better person because of it.

Jeremiah 29:11 on my chest A permanent reminder that he's ordering my steps
A biblical reference on my chest is a constant reminder that God is guiding me on my life's journey and knows what is best for me.

He took delight in me, then put this light in me
God has given me unique talents and abilities that bring joy and light to my life and those around me.

Magnetic pull to my virtues in the vice city
Even in a difficult and sinful world, I am drawn towards my own positive qualities and values.

While its big to pop a n***a for acting shifty I shimmy out the way to be portrayed as I modern Diddy.
Instead of resorting to violence or negative behavior, I try to handle situations with grace and dignity, like successful music mogul Diddy.

Exercising demons bent outta shape to ensure y'all feel me.
I am constantly fighting against negativity and evil in order to be successful and make an impact on others.

Through the speakers before the reaper come get me.
I am trying to make the most of my time and impact others positively before my time on earth is up.

You don't like me it's cool, blame GOD he sent me
If someone does not like me or approve of me, it's not my problem, it's because God has sent me here for a specific purpose.

In the valley of death I still manage to be a Lilly.
Even in the darkest and most overwhelming situations, I try to remain strong and courageous like a delicate flower.

I manage to make him proud without the pride.
I am able to accomplish great things and make God proud of me without allowing pride to overtake me and ruin my humility.

In me the tools I needed to open doors. Was pried in me
I have had the necessary skills and abilities to succeed in life all along, they just needed to be discovered and developed.

Every time. I see olive oil I'm reminded of sacrifices every time.
The symbol of olive oil is a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect and guide me through life.

Card Momma punched to put the time in every syrup sandwich to stick to my stomach lining the water with lemon line.
My mother worked hard and made sacrifices to provide for me and keep me healthy, even through difficult times.

Every alter where momma prayed live.
The places where my mother has prayed for me have a special significance and meaning in my life.

My momma prayed for meWhen I couldn't pray for myself, my momma prayed for meWhen I couldn't find no one else, my momma prayed for meY'all be glad my momma prayed for meYou better pray I have mercy on you
Throughout the song, the artist is expressing gratitude for his mother's prayers and the way they have impacted his life for the better.
