shai linne is living proof that God has a wonderful sense of humor. He once told his mom that he would never, ever become a Christian, completely oblivious to the fact that God had chosen him to be a Christian before time began. He doesn't like the spotlight, so God gave him natural gifts that put him on stage as an actor. He doesn't like to be in front of people, so God gave him spiritual gifts that are mostly public in nature. shai has appeared on numerous independent and national Christian Hip-hop releases, including his 2005 full-length debut, The Solus Christus Project. All this from someone who doesn't like hip-hop and never pursued a career in music. Someone in heaven is having a big laugh at his expense. After all this time, shai still doesn't get the joke.
In Adam All Die
Shai Linne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We're rebels like the devil, scheming like demons
Prideful with our idols, disgusting with our lusting
Twisted and sin-sick, selfish and helpless
Everybody knows that they're guilty
Our conscience condemns us, shows us we're filthy
Truth be told, we really have no answers
For why we fall short of our own moral standards
The evidence for God is simply bountiful
And it's illogical to think we won't be held accountable
A universal day of judgment approaches
Any rational notion of justice would presuppose this
And deep down inside, everybody knows this
But we disregard it because our deeds are atrocious
We prefer the vicious, our words are malicious
Our slurs pernicious, we find the absurd delicious
Depraved in our appetites- the things we crave are lacking light
Because sin's got us enslaved and shackled tight
And if we are to understand the fruit
We need to go back and examine the root
We're cursed from our birth, sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
The world we live in wasn't always like this
The early days had perfect righteousness and bright bliss
Man and woman under God-ruled government at first
Bubbling with mirth, immersed in loving with no hurts
God gave what theologians call the covenant of works
Forbidden fruit- the day you eat of it you'll be cursed
Husband wasn't alert; wife lacked discernment
Entrapped by the serpent and that was the first sin
The consequences were monumental
In fact, I'm not convinced they had a clue of what they'd gotten into
Their eyes were opened more- truth in the lies
To their surprise, they didn't get the prize they were hoping for
They see their nakedness and now regret it
They tried to cover their guilt and then blame shift- how pathetic
And it's a true story- you want some evidence?
We've been doing the same thing ever since
We're cursed from our birth, sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
We talk Adam and Eve, cats think we're "throwed off", really
They don't think it relates to thugs in North Philly
But it's like Switchfoot said- we were meant to live
But in the garden Adam was our representative
So when the Judge executed the sentence
Adam's guilt was imputed to his descendents
Global calamity
Major debt, pain, regret, the reign of death- total depravity
And yes, I'm aware that cats were not there
Which opens the door to charges of "that's not fair"
But God is not subject to fallen notions of fairness
Besides, when it comes to God's glory, most could care less
We can't measure how we chase sand treasures
And banned pleasures- similar to our ancestors
So instead of saying if you were there what you would do
Seek your refuge in Adam number two
We're cursed from our birth, sinning from the beginning
The womb to the tomb, depraved to the grave
Astray every day, every breath brings death
In Adam all die, In Adam all die
The lyrics of Shai Linne's "In Adam All Die" express the idea that from the moment of our birth, we are cursed due to the original sin committed by Adam and Eve. As humans, we carry the burden of our ancestors' disobedience and therefore, are incapable of living a life free of sin. The repetition of the phrase "In Adam all die" emphasizes the gravity of the situation and that no one is exempt from the consequences of the fall.
The song also mentions that humans are rebels and prideful, just like the devil and demons. We indulge in our sinful desires and disregard the evidence of God's existence and our accountability to Him. The lyrics suggest that we need to go back to the root of our fall to understand our sinful nature and find redemption.
The theme of the song is heavily influenced by Christian theology and focuses on the concepts of original sin, total depravity, and the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. The lyrics not only highlight the fall but also emphasize the consequences of it, such as the curse, death, and the need for judgment.
