Not Me ft. Iron Will, Pythagoras the Praying Mantis & Scripture reading by DJ Paine Lyrics

For I am crucified with Christ

Nevertheless I live

Yet, not I

But Christ

Liveth in me

#ChristJesus

Yo, I was

Self-indulgent

With a charm

That would

Bring 'em in

I never saw it

For the harm

I would

Bring to them

Stringing them along

Left their hearts in

Vacant homes

Just because I

Wasn't safe alone

That was not Ryland

Hella mean to people

(Mean)

I never seen it

As I'm breeding evil

I just believed I should

Demean the feeble

My tongue was

Keener than a

Sea of needles

(Sharp)

My demeanor

It was bleak and fecal

That was not Ryland

I fell in lust

At an early age

Because I was touched

In my early days

And, stuck in

My early grave

My pervy ways

They submerged my days

I met my wife

And, almost swerved her away

That was not Ryland

Yo, that was not me

Major cocky

Full of pride

Yo, I was stockpiling

I should've died

From the crimes

That I got life in

And, I still

Kept the shots firing

That was not Ryland

Fugaze

I shoulda choked him

With a shoelace and

Screwfaced him

Harder than Conway

When he is

Not smiling

(Hard)

But a new grace

Is on me

Glory to God

My story is not

To brag about

The spot I'm in

Nah

I'm tryna show you

Who I was before

He entered the kitchen

Pulled my head

Up out that

Oven door

Headed to L

But, for His grace

Glory Hallelujah

Pleased to meet you

My name is Ryland Junior

His name is

#ChristJesus

Ahh

Yo

Let me talk

Yeah

Yeah

I was a master villain

Streets, I wasn't in for paper

Worst type

Rehearsed life

To outright manipulate ya

My intellect was 3-D

Project how you perceive me

Straight imposter

Like rasta mixed in fettuccine

And, yeah

My path was greasy

Lost my dad

Spazzed immediately

Big brother overalls

Pipe drawn

Ask Luigi

Chase down peaches easy

Pythons demon squeeze the

Lights off

Jesus seen it

My fall

Preconceived it

Pride was my side chick

And, lust was my

Favorite demon

Mics came around

And, I could

Drown out your

Favorite seaman

Pause

Sting ray bars

Hard like

Them stars in cement

Faded Jean Gray

Mind gone

Like the darkest phoenix

But, God

Huh

He saw that I was

So anemic

Infusing iron with The Blood

Under strong agreement

The Cross

A.I.

No Nas and Ether

Can take over

Jehovah's sneakers

I'm gone

'Cause that was not me

That was not me

That was not me

Yo

I was a

Slim baby

Skin shady

Kids hated me

Integrated ninjas

Patiently trained me

A criminal minded

Lyrical hybrid

Glitch

Blazing through a

Simulation

Stimulated

Filling the pages

With crazy imaginations

My dad was satan

Had me grabbing forbidden fruit

Adam reanimated

Salivating

This is not an exaggeration

Barricaded my heart

Anger raging

Banner waving

I was a savage pagan

Headed toward destruction

Knew about The Creator

But, still behaved disgusting

The son of a man

Who was unsteady

And reluctant

But, my mum instructed us

On how to believe in something

I can trust in

The Blood of Jesus

Covered me from a distance

When my son was born

I had to become a Christian

I just experienced

The love my mother wished us

Repented and understood

The Lord's covered in Scriptures

It's different now

'Cause that was not me

'Cause that was not me

And, the life

Which I now live in the flesh

I live by faith

In the Son of God

Who loved me

And gave himself for me

The Book of Galatians

Chapter 2

Verse 20
