Neverland.

There's this rap artist named Andy Mineo, and one of his songs is title "Neverland". If you haven't heard of him, then you should check him out. He is a rapper who is also a Christian. Don't be so quick to judge him, though. Just because he's a Christian doesn't mean he's a boring, bible thumping rapper. He speaks applicable truth in his raps.

Here's an example from his song "Neverland".

Verse 1:

Everybody wanna be on top

I don't think they know what that means 

Once you get there you can't stop

Everybody gunning for ya spot

Mineo is talking about the American Dream. Everyone is fighting to be the richest, most famous, best, etc. But he's telling the audience to stop and think about it. The American dream is not what it seems. Once you start pursuing it, it'll ruin you. There is no end.

Verse 1:

Everything change when you go from seeing it all

Big screen to behind the scenes

If you look past the American Dream, there is a surprising thing behind it all. It's a lie. It's misleading. It's not as great as it seems in the front.

Verse 1:

You know the rich and famous

Kill themself to stay rich and famous

Very same thing that they built their name with

Be the same thing that they be enslaved with

Pursuing the American Dream is a poison. It causes you more stress, pain, and suffering to keep your status. Your own fame and wealth are enslaving you from doing what matters.

Verse 1:

I don't want want rap you can have that

Heading for another throne can't have that

It's a Kingdom where my Dad's at

And I'm His son I sing on

So death won't have that last laugh

Huh, child of a King, royalty

That's ASCAP

Mineo confesses that he doesn't want to pursue fame in the rap industry. He's aiming higher. He's looking at the eternal perspective of entering the Kingdom of God, who is his Father. Btw, ASCAP is a not-for-profit organization for composers and artists.

Verse 1:

They want glory, money, and power before you go

I promise you it's empty we aiming just way too low

I know we own things we don't need to impress people we don't know

Then we go broke trying to look rich

I can't do it, I just won't

My new goal is to be close to the One that made my soul man

Them other highs will gon' let you down

I'm trying to get so high I'll Never Land

Mineo is trying to share the truth in the Gospel. He's telling people to open their eyes and see the eternal perspective of things. Pursuing wealth, power, and fame is worthless. It all fades away after you die. We're wasting time aiming for such a pathetic goal when we could be pursuing the eternal Kingdom of God.

All the things on this earth will get you temporarily "high". It only gives temporary satisfaction/pleasure. However, Mineo is telling the audience that he's pursing something that provides eternal satisfaction/pleasure/happiness, which is God. 

There's so much more truth in this song. But I'll let you listen to it for yourself and look up the lyrics.
