Mr. Pretender Lyrics

What you mean you done with me (hehe)
Yeah, you for real
You finished?
Crazy, we'll see about that

I'll be killing it, I'm ill and legit
Whoever say I'm illegit, don't say that when they hear my blessing
Christians say I'm nemesis, go look at Genesis
But who cares, I'm friend with benefits innocent
I can, I can get you right
Me and my homie, endorphins are air tight
Pleasure's what I swear by
My one code there's no code
Do what thou will just for the thrill
Give it a go, don't let nobody hold you
So what you need with a God
You made it this far, who is he to call the shot
But did he really say I'm no good for you
Then why I'm so good to you forbiddin' me he shouldn't do

It's a shame
That I can't say
That I know you when I've known you forever
When I've known you forever
Mr. Pretender
Mr. Pretender
Thought I knew you but I didn't
And even though we're finished
Can't believe you had me living in your fantasy
Mr. Pretender


I was tryin to satisfy ya, deify ya
You do what you think is right you be the God you bow to
I can take you higher
And those Christians are liars river in Egypt
They in denial (the Nile) you
But when you felt better
I know afterwards guilty dirty and real pressure
But there was real pleasure
I'm here when it gets rough
I got website that'll get you fixed up
A blunt that'll make you lift up
Of course I told him he should go divorce her
He's a man how he gon be faithful to one girl
And he knows it'll cost him his life in ministry
But I make him think it's worth one night getting in the sheets
Imma beast, you can be a Christian and live in me
God can have the public but in private it will be him and me
We need liquor need
Strippers homie ride or die
Go put that bullet in that magazine
And make it fly

Mr. Pretender
Mr. Pretender
Thought I knew you but I didn't
And even though we're finished
Can't believe you had me living in your fantasy
Mr. Pretender
Mr. Pretender
Thought I knew you but I didn't
And even though we're finished
Can't believe you had me living in your fantasy

So what? I might've lied a lil
(So?!)
And my good friend, Death, kills
But don't act like you didn't know
(You can't stop!)
You love the way I make you feel, you know the deal
Look, I got wages a paycheck
For instance you though you was having safe sex
I promote latex, get your wrapper dawg
But a condom can't protect you from the wrath of God
I had the world deceived, then came Jesus
Thought I beat Him, but on the cross I was defeated
Imagine that, He deceived the deceiver
Left me on the ground bleeding
While he leads slaves to freedom

It's a shame
That I can't say
That I know you when I've known you forever
When I've known you forever
Mr. Pretender
Mr. Pretender
Thought I knew but I didn't
And even though we're finished
Can't believe you had me living in your fantasy
Mr. Pretender
Mr. Pretender
Thought I knew you, but i didn't
And even though we're finished
Can't believe you had me living in your fantasy

(I am the deceitfulness of sin)

Mr. Pretender by KB is a Christian rap song that tackles the topic of deception and temptation.

Introduction:

Mr. Pretender is a powerful track that addresses the struggles of living a Christian life in a world filled with deception and temptation. The song takes listeners on a journey through the lies and deceit that the enemy uses to lead people astray. KB, a Christian rapper known for his thought-provoking lyrics, delivers a hard-hitting message that challenges listeners to be aware of the tricks of the enemy and to stand firm in their faith.

Key Messages of the Song:

The lyrics of Mr. Pretender convey a series of key messages that highlight the tactics of the enemy and the importance of staying true to one's faith. Let's explore these messages chronologically from the lines:

Verse 1:

"I'll be killing it, I'm ill and legit
Whoever say I'm illegit, don't say that when they hear my blessing"

In these lines, KB sarcastically refers to the enemy as someone who believes they are "killing it" and legitimate in their actions. However, KB challenges this notion by highlighting the blessings that come from living a life of faith and obedience to God.

"Christians say I'm nemesis, go look at Genesis
But who cares, I'm friend with benefits innocent
I can, I can get you right
Me and my homie, endorphins are air tight"

KB addresses the idea that Christians view the enemy as a nemesis by referring to the story of Genesis where the serpent deceives Adam and Eve. However, KB dismisses this notion and presents the enemy as a deceptive friend with benefits. He emphasizes the temporary pleasures that the enemy offers but also hints at the emptiness and lack of fulfillment that comes from pursuing them.

Chorus:

"It's a shame
That I can't say
That I know you when I've known you forever
When I've known you forever
Mr. Pretender"

The chorus of the song highlights the deception of the enemy and the realization that KB has been deceived for a long time. The term "Mr. Pretender" refers to the false image that the enemy presents and the facade that he uses to deceive people.

Verse 2:

"I was tryin to satisfy ya, deify ya
You do what you think is right you be the God you bow to
I can take you higher
And those Christians are liars river in Egypt
They in denial (the Nile) you"

In these lines, KB admits that he was once tempted by the enemy's promises of satisfaction and self-deification. He challenges the notion that individuals can determine their own path and be their own god. KB also criticizes Christians who are in denial of their own struggles with temptation and deception.
