Prelude Lyrics

My life used to be

Written for me

Spelled out with what to do

And who to be

I wrote two songs about it

But I'm not done

In fact

I have only just begun

Mormonism

Was my whole identity

Being a member

Brought me serenity

I lived in the bubble

Of a "peculiar people"

Learned how to be good

Under a church's steeple

I believed in using my talents

For the kingdom of God

I had to keep up

The church's facade

I took two years of my life

To preach the word

Cuz it was the right choice

My heart was stirred

Since rapping was my thing

I put it to good use

I wrote missionary raps

I bore good fruits

And when I came home

I made an album

Called "Chosen"

It was more than I could fathom

I released it alongside

"En Fuego"

I was proud of it

Did it stay that way? No

When I eventually

Woke up

From this Mormon haze

I had been dreaming of

I deleted that album

I was embarrassed of it

It was like it never happened

I didn't love it

But those songs are still

A part of my story

So I have them for you

In all of their glory

But here's the twist

After each one

I'll rewrite the song

They'll all be redone

I'll show you what I thought

In the original release

And then I'll switch it around

To show you my peace

From missionary to apostate

You'll still see me

I didn't change who I am

Just what I believe

I found out

My perception was wrong

Now It's time to end this prelude

And move to the first song
