Verse 1
We them believers
East side, west side boy we all around
North side, south side world wide bound
You could of been finito
But we pray for your town
And every where that we go
You know we hold it down
We just a bunch of sinners out here tryna follow Christ
They love to see us fall mane, hate to see us fly
And we ain't perfect either, we try to get it right
And we ain't only readers, we bout to lit a life
They play us in the media with stereo types
But even when they hate us we love them on site
They wishing death upon us just for tryna bring em life
But it's alright
Chorus
We them believers
We don't believe in calling right wrong
And wrong, right
We them believers
They say the problem with us in the dark, is our light
We them believers
The only way we know to go is hard...on site
We them believers
We roll with Jesus cause He gave it all, for our life
We them believers
Verse 2
They know we keep it cool and so they love to play around
They push us to the edge and then they say we wild'n out
But catch us on the wrong day, one of us a clown
Then it will be a long day, it's going down
We don't want no problems, we just living our life
It's hard enough with out a hater tryna cause strife
I'm tripping on my own, just tryna walk right
If I put it in a song, we will be here all night
Been here long enough to know it's not a joke (Not a joke)
I know where I'm headed when its time to go (Time to go)
But until then I get it popping tho (Popping tho)
Keeping Yahweh over dollars tho
Chorus
We them believers
We don't believe in calling right wrong
And wrong, right
We them believers
They say the problem with us in the dark, is our light
We them believers
The only way we know, to go is hard...on site
We them believers
We roll with Jesus cause He gave it all, for our life
We them believers
God over money (money) 8x
Chorus
We them believers
We don't believe in calling right wrong
And wrong, right
We them believers
They say the problem with us in the dark, is our light
We them believers
The only way we know, to go is hard...on site
We them believers
We roll with Jesus cause He gave it all, for our life
We them believers
Believers
Believers Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Bizzle's song "Believers," released with a video on September 17, 2015, presents an anthem for individuals identifying as followers of Christ. The track immediately establishes a core theme with the repeated phrase "God over money," setting a clear priority for the artist and the community he represents. The lyrics paint a picture of believers as a widespread group, present across different geographical areas, emphasizing their global reach and unity despite potential regional differences. They acknowledge their own human imperfection, referring to themselves as "sinners out here tryna follow Christ," indicating a journey of growth rather than a state of flawless righteousness.
The song highlights the challenges believers face, noting external opposition from those who "love to see us fall" and "hate to see us fly." It touches upon misrepresentation in media through stereotypes and the animosity directed towards them simply for trying to share a message of "life." Despite this, the response advocated in the lyrics is one of love, stating "even when they hate us we love them on site," a principle rooted in foundational Christian teachings. The chorus directly confronts cultural pressures, asserting the believers' refusal to distort moral truth by "calling right wrong / And wrong, right." They recognize that their faith and actions, described as their "light," are often perceived as problematic by those in "the dark." Their approach is characterized by dedication, striving to "go hard...on site" in their commitment. The ultimate motivation for their identity and actions is explicitly stated: they "roll with Jesus cause He gave it all, for our life," referencing the sacrifice central to Christian belief.
Verse two delves further into the dynamics believers encounter. They maintain a generally peaceful demeanor ("keep it cool"), but this is sometimes exploited, leading to them being provoked or "pushed... to the edge." The lyrics acknowledge that pushing back is a possibility when provoked, though the preference is clearly for peaceful living, stating "We don't want no problems, we just living our life." The difficulty of living right is underscored, acknowledging personal struggles ("tripping on my own, just tryna walk right") even without external opposition. The song emphasizes perseverance and a clear understanding of their ultimate destination ("I know where I'm headed when its time to go"). Throughout these challenges and efforts, the commitment remains firm, prioritizing "Yahweh over dollars tho," reinforcing the central theme of placing God above material wealth and worldly concerns. This dedication to their faith and values, despite internal struggles and external pressure, defines the identity articulated in the song.
