Believe It

A Gulf-accented rap over electronic house. The singer says he is back again, that it was all a plan written long ago, and that he needs no one to tell him who he is. It is hard to explain why people do not believe him, but he is used to it: they would rather see him fail than succeed. He came from nothing, and success does not mean he should be hated. Then the verse turns to faith. He says people doubt miracles and call the scriptures a fairy tale because they do not want to live straight and in clear light. He asks whether you turn to stone when you turn your back on doubt, and says that after the hell we see on earth it is easy to feel God has gone. But we are made of dust and our sins are not erased by our works. A faithful heart died for us and bled to save us. He speaks of faith like a seed that moves mountains, of the sons of God above the clouds, of a man who walked on the waves until the wind frightened him. He admits his own doubt, the breath of death on his neck, the fear that he might be the mistake, and the hope that he can change. The refrain returns: believe it, I am sincere.
