Here’s the thing about redemption
It’s not about being given an exemption
A price has to be paid for your insurrection
If it ain’t you, then who gets your nomination?
The scape goat will never be your enemy
Has to be someone you know intimately
Without the blood letting,
There is no forgetting
Death’s the price, no quarter given
Mercy appears like raindrops for the fallen
The longer I’ve existed in this space
I understand what is meant when they say Noah found grace.
Despite your indiscretions I can’t hold a grudge,
Aware of my situation I won’t be your judge
Whomever is forgiven much
Appreciates it and loves much
A redeemed soul understands such
But grace now doesn’t become a crotch
To continue as you were or take it up a notch
There must be a change in your trajectory
Not a 45 or 90, but a true 180
Cos here’s another thing about redemption
Your life is no longer your own, that was the real transaction.
