[Chorus]

We back in Eden, back in Eden

Caught me sittin’ at the Tree of Knowledge, caught me eatin’

I apologize for prophecies I gave up for idolatries

Soul of America, Jesus Christ is weepin’

We back in Eden, back in Eden

Caught me watching from the rooftop, caught me peekin’

I apologize for prophecies I gave up for idolatries

Soul of America, Jesus Christ is weepin’


[Verse 1]

So many nights I looked up to God, asking what my purpose was

Started wondering if He had messed it up

Starting wondering if He had chose the wrong guy

I was never in surrender but my hands was to the sky

I admit that I was wearing masks way before COVID-19

Clouded vision, no faith, big dreams

Who knew, that this kid was outta tune

I could still pretend that I was just the greatest in the room

But I knew that, I could never fall into new traps

I’m way too above these other players to fall back

The honesty

I was self proclaiming the prophecy that I was some prodigy who ain’t have to face no obstacles, no Odyssey

Felt like my whole life in front of me

I was the shepherd to my own flock of sheep they'd just run to me

Sweepin’ you off your feet, sweepin’ you under me

Royal blood in my veins and hearing crowds thundering

That was my vision, to be king

Went from customer to boss and then right back to employee

Who is me, to believe I was the higher one when I’m descended from the one who took the apple from the tree

Ain’t nothing new, living in an empty shell

Following the lies until they covered up the truth

Like a stray dog, I knew I would always chase a bone

Ask 'em who knew that the kid was outta zone

Outta zone and outta line

Would distract himself in worldly pleasures just to pass the time

Older he got the further he went off the deep end

Okay with getting by, just tryna get even

Waiting for the weekend Sunday morning service to pretend I knew who Jesus was

I was lukewarm but the demons they was eating up

‘Time I knew was going on I was surrounded

I looked up to God and I asked Him why the demons beating us

Nah homie, why the demons beating you

You ain’t really working hard enough you give your soul up for some short-lived sensations

Money, drugs, glory, and the fornication

Hollywood vacations

Stackin’ presidents before you stackin’ up your fruit

Dead residents, dead hearts are on the loose

I seen good people start rockin’ with bad crowds, doing things that the past them woulda turned down, uh


[Chorus]

We back in Eden, back in Eden

Caught me sittin’ at the Tree of Knowledge, caught me eatin’

I apologize for prophecies I gave up for idolatries

Soul of America, Jesus Christ is weepin’

We back in Eden, back in Eden

Caught me watching from the rooftop, caught me peekin’

I apologize for prophecies I gave up for idolatries

Soul of America, Jesus Christ is weepin’


[Verse 2]

Wanna apologize for everything I’ve done, everything I’ve done

This is not who I want to become

I knew I wasn’t supposed to indulge in those things but I did it anyway, yeah I did it anyway

And I regret that

But I know that guilt is from the Devil, so the best that I can do is to move forward with a new spirit

To really mean it when I put my hands up in worship

And when I make music hoping that the broken hear it

To really mean it when I wear that cross ‘round my neck

Give me the wisdom to make sure I always represent

And when I’m down bad in a dark place, help me look around and recognize the angels that my Father sent

Where the love at, where the love at

We would rather fight each other than temptation

This is crazy, Revelation, day-to-day basis

It don’t even make sense, how we act so shameless

We ain’t even give it second thought

When the truth comes around we just cancel it

God calling us but ain’t nobody answering

Everybody goin’ nuts, I don’t think we’ll manage it, that’s why


[Chorus]

We back in Eden, back in Eden

God take me from this place, I don't want to see it

I apologize for prophecies we gave up for idolatries

Soul of America, Jesus Christ is weepin’
