Verse 1
Ima shoot my shot and one as long as I got breath
Man I pray I'm never done and this little light of mine
Came from the Son. They say life a leap of faith well
Geronimo when I jump (aye) it's goin' down when it's up

We sending hits or abrasions and um uh me no lie
I don't need no sides cause all waves come crashing
My God been my tide!

My filas on my Honda pedal I'm in drive they say life a leap of faith so they try to cut my wings still I fly yyyyy (x15) still I fly yyyyy (x13)

YB - BUTTERFLY VIBES [Bass Boosted]
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2021 as part of the *Provision II - EP*, YB's "Butterfly Vibes" emerges as a potent anthem of resilience, deeply rooted in a faith that transcends adversity. The core message of the song, mirrored in its title, speaks to the inherent vulnerability and beauty of life, represented by the delicate butterfly. YB articulates a profound understanding of the challenges faced when striving for growth and purpose, acknowledging that external forces will inevitably attempt to impede progress. The recurring imagery of "trying to cut the wings" is a powerful metaphor for opposition and doubt cast upon one's dreams and aspirations, particularly those aligned with a divine calling. Yet, the resounding response, "still I fly," is not born from defiance but from an unshakeable inner strength and a steadfast belief in a higher power. This unwavering spirit is beautifully illuminated by select verses from Scripture. Just as the butterfly, despite its fragile appearance, possesses the innate ability to take flight, believers are empowered by God's grace to soar above their circumstances. The lyric, "I pray I'm never done and this little light of mine came from the Son," directly echoes the sentiment found in Matthew 5:16, where Jesus instructs his followers, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." YB’s declaration that "He been the occasion we cut for this" signifies a divine appointment and a readiness for the path ahead, akin to the unwavering faith of those mentioned in Hebrews 11, who through faith accomplished remarkable feats. Furthermore, the assertion, "I don't need no sides cause all waves come crashing, My God been my tide!" powerfully illustrates the concept of divine protection and provision, reminiscent of God's deliverance of the Israelites from Pharaoh's army as described in Exodus 14, where the sea parted and became their tide of safety. The repeated emphasis on "life a leap of faith" aligns with the biblical understanding that faith is not passive but an active engagement with God's promises, as highlighted in Hebrews 11:1, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Ultimately, "Butterfly Vibes" serves as an inspiring testament to the enduring power of faith, encouraging listeners to embrace their journey, trust in divine guidance, and continue to ascend, regardless of the forces that seek to ground them.
