It's said that the devil was in charge of music in heaven, that's the main idea of the song, and now he still controls the music industry:
"In this industry you built so sinfully simple"
The song is actually called "I Heard You Had A Voice Like An Angel/Psalm 137"
Psalm 137 is about Israel's captivity in Babylon. Their captors ask the Israelites to sing for them, the Israelites refuse, “How could we sing the Lord's / song / in a foreign land?” (137:4).
I think Shad put the psalm in the title because that's how he feels about the music industry today.He refuses to sign with a major label because he doesn't stand for what they do (objectifying women etc.. look up Exile by Shad)
This is a really powerful song, Shads got it figured out. It's nice to see a rapper writing songs like this... plus he's Canadian!
