“I'm always fucking up and wrecking shit, It seems like I perfected it”
“You tell me, ain't nobody better than me I think that there's better than me Hope you see the better in me
Always end up bettering me”
These are the strongest lyrics. In content and word play.
“I pray to god that he make me a better man, uh
Maybe one day I'ma stand for something
I'm thankin' God that he made you part of the plan
I guess I ain't go through all that hell for nothin'”
I love the confidence in referencing God as his truth/the truth and yet he doesn’t mask his prayer behind some lofty attempt at ecclesiastical sentiment.
He throws his faith into his song, his statement, which is sparked by the personal failures he alludes to and he just explodes into authenticity by keeping it real and not omitting the offensive expletives and references to carnal sin that so many “Christians” would be appalled at outwardly but 100 percent identify with in their souls.
The artist is proving he’s so much more than the “nothing” he believes he portrays at times by the genuine relationship he obviously has with his creator. It’s honest. What makes him “something” is he knows he’s just another imperfect sinner, sure - but his intrinsic acceptance that God’s got his back is a faith that, again, so many “Christians” are missing the point on. Their relationship to this world, even in condemning it and judging it, is what severs their connection to their Maker. There’s no hope for them until that changes. This kid, though. Imperfect and flawed, he’s riding the waves of salvation simply because he knows who died to save him. He may not be perfect. But he knows who is - is looking out for him.

That’s hope. That’s faith.
