Three studio releases in and KB is at his creative zenith. For years, the Tampa native has been something of an outlier in hip-hop, firmly placing a thumb print on the game while invoking the power of spiritual conviction. His lyricism is impassioned and astute, and he won’t be bent against his will. Given his commanding presence and consistent output, it comes as no surprise that the world has taken notice. The track “100” from the EP of the same name, took home the Dove Award for Rap/Hip-Hop Song of the Year in 2014. And his last LP, 2015’s Tomorrow We Live, garnered both critical and commercial acclaim, earning a Stellar Award nomination for Rap/Hip-Hop Gospel CD of the Year and debuting on the Billboard charts as the No.1 Christian Album and the No. 4 Rap… more »

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)
