Parables - Ivy Sole

Shawties never saw marital

Vowing that it’ll come for me

Comfort me with the holy book

Probably closer to the fallen one

Lucifer on my looseleaf

But I know I ain’t the only one

Preacher say I’m a Jezebel

Thinking he might be right

I be having hellish thoughts

Rather you spend the night

Shooting for the climax

Cuz it feels like heaven’s gates

So at least I’m seeing holy

If I’m gambling with fate

Buddha says life suffering

And humans need some rest

Enjoying every pleasure

Anticipating the stress

Every test, every yet not

Spirit demands we fret not

Joy comes when the day breaks

So deny desire, we best not

Parents speaking in parables

Only thing they agree on

Papa be pastor lately

I wonder which book he reads from

Revelations' a favorite

Proverbs keeping me even

Genesis my obsession

Even days I don’t believe it

Every song as a season

My solomon promise prompted

An energy pull and push but my treason it

Ain’t an option

I stray away from this topic

My politics open book

When I talk about god

I get the skeptical looks

I believe in eternity, life after it ends

Everlasting aside, my soul is golden within

I’m just tryna live the best life I can on earth

Mama told me ain’t no faith without works

So we workin'

A sower went out to sow his seed

And as he sowed, some fell in the path and was trampled on

And the birds of the air ate it up

Some fell on the rock and as it grew up it withered for lack of moisture

Some fell among thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it

Some fell into good soil and when it grew it produced a hundredfold

Find where you can bloom, baby

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

And if I die…
