Sevin emerged on the scene at age 17 with his debut Gospel Rap album “All or None”. This was a very powerful nationwide release and is still available on shelves in many Christian book and record stores today.
Immediately after the release of the album Sevin began touring and ministering the Gospel through Rap music. In his time he has traveled on a European Tour, which included ministering in London, Belgium, Canada and other places including Jamaica as well as all across the United States. He specialized in bringing the gospel to the youth on the streets that might not have the message of Jesus Christ but through rap music.
He has ministered along side some of the great names in Gospel music including, Kirk Franklin, The Kenoly Brothers, The Gospel Gangstaz, and many more. Over the years Sevin has evolved from the new kid on the West Coast block to the well-seasoned lyrical giant he is today. After the release of “All or None”, Sevin continued dropping more anointed albums about real life issues and his journey and relationship with Christ.
All of Sevin’s music is grim and graphic in nature, but nevertheless upholds a very heavy evangelistic overtone. This is rap for people that are lost in the streets and are looking for another way out. Sevin’s style and lyrical genius is already having him ranked with the likes of rap greats such as Scarface and the legendary 2Pac.
Sevin also is the founder of HOG MOB ministries.
HOG MOB is an acronym that stands for: “HOOK’D ON GOD-MINISTRY OVA BIZNESS”. What this basically means is, we addictively desire and actively pursue a relationship with the one true and living God. We also choose to live a life that serves his purpose not our own.
HOG MOB is about Kingdom Business...infiltrating our urban communities and seeing change in lives thru our Lord Jesus Christ.

Back 2 You
Sevin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I can dig it
I′ve got the dirty shovel to prove it mane, yeah
I've been where you at homie
I'm not far removed you feel me
Only by the grace of God bruh
Real talk
Yeah
I′m born to die bro
Soul is more than sorta hollow
I′ve worn the sorrow
Of a son that knows there's no tomorrow
I′m holding hollows in these stolen rollows
I can burn them all but there's an eternal war
So I know there′s more to follow
I pour a swallow explore the bottle like Coronado
My life is horrible nothing short of a horror novel
There's no disguising it my vision is gone
So surprised that I′ve lived this long inside this miserable song
I'm wishin' I longed for more than just the mission I′m on
Just a typical nigga driftin′ with no visible home
Can't be civil with my siblings
So I live on my own
Often nervous evil thoughts of murder be filling my dome
Yeah
I′ve taken lashes to capacity no more to tally
Abort a child in the tortured allies of Northern Cali
I've made the choice to take the oyster and leave the pearl
Pain is art
They gone see my mural before I leave this world
Yeah I′m being honest as I should
I feel the weight that is upon us
I'm a psalmist for the hood
Uh huh
And I′m hoping that my song is understood
Cuz they're unaware that You care
And what You promise us is good
Don't forsake us just make us see You for who You are
And we′re so blind but there′s no time for straying way too far
Bring me back to You back to You
Lord I know I've done You wrong
Bring me back to You I′m asking You
You're the place where I belong
If this is living I′m sick of it nigga this is prison
I'm seeing sicknesses depicted in my sickening visions
Death is whispering but I′m too lifted to listen
Blood glistening like a prison
When the moon hits it when drippin'
And I'm slippin′ to the depths of the threat
There′s no protecting me
Cuz every second I wear the flesh that the devil's beckoning
I′m soaked in filth and my soul is wilting like sick roses
Thick doses of pain got me in hypnosis
I stick closest to the ghosts of my bitter past
At the cemetery where they're buried under withered grass
I hear them audibly calling me "Sevin follow me"
Smell of death is all on me like rotten meat in the autumn heat
It′s like somehow my cup of sanity done got a leak
I never planned to be this stranded
And damned if I fall asleep
I've eaten misery now I′m back for a second helping
Helter skelter is my shelter... death is welcome
Yeah I'm being honest as I should
I feel the weight that is upon us
I'm a psalmist for the hood
Uh huh
And I′m hoping that my song is understood
Cuz they′re unaware that You care
And what You promise us is good
Don't forsake us just make us see You for who You are
And we′re so blind but there's no time for straying way too far
Bring me back to You back to You
Lord I know I′ve done You wrong
Bring me back to You I'm asking You
You′re the place where I belong
C'mon I'm fed up with nonsense
And un-credible comments in my head I′m wanted dead
I′m no detectable conscience
No affection for those that got no exceptional content
Slow regression my soul's in a co-depression to bondage
Slippin in the sickest sin I ever could grapple
While sippin′ gin I'm mixing it with medical capsules
I′m pissed like "being Christian's just an incredible hassle
Never rests does the devil he′s ever ready for battle"
The evil's seepin' in and it′s weakening my state of mind
I preach to people but I′m feeble and I'm straight up blind
I′m married into the very sin that I speak against
I rarely grin because every minute it keeps me tense
I lay up late at night awake with my demons
Knowing that one day I'mma have to pay for this treason
Ugh there isn′t any evil I won't do
So father God I gotta keep my eye on You
Yeah I′m being as honest as I should
I feel the weight that is upon us
I'm a psalmist for the hood
And I'm hoping that my song is understood
Cuz they′re unaware that You care
And what You promise us is good
Don′t forsake us just make us see You for who You are
And we're so blind but there′s no time for straying way too far
Take me back to You back to You
Lord I know I've done You wrong
Bring me back to You I′m asking You
You're the place where I belong
The song "Back 2 You" by Sevin is an emotional and honest exploration of the struggles and pain of a person who has strayed from their faith in God. The lyrics express the feelings of guilt, despair, and emptiness that come with living a life disconnected from God. At the same time, the song also expresses hope and the desire to be brought back to God and find redemption.
Sevin uses powerful imagery to convey the depth of his pain and the darkness of his situation. He speaks of feeling like he is living in prison and of being haunted by his past mistakes. He also makes use of metaphors like "worn the sorrow of a son that knows there's no tomorrow" to capture the weight of his burdens. Throughout the song, Sevin acknowledges his failings and the things that have led him astray, but he also expresses a deep longing to find his way back to God.
One of the most striking things about "Back 2 You" is its honesty. The song doesn't sugarcoat or attempt to disguise the pain and struggle that Sevin is going through. Instead, it lays everything bare, allowing the listener to experience the raw emotions and inner turmoil of the artist. This level of vulnerability is rare in music, and it makes "Back 2 You" a powerful and deeply affecting piece.
