velvet lyrics by Rob Nor, Christopher Syncere

Verse 1

Hearts got hard, on West Blvd, had fights on the yard, and the sower still sow!

Choked by the weed, by my lust, and my greed, she swing, I swing, pain sting likewhoa!

Fears come true, when it's hope you lose, cause you can't undo every heart you broke!

Easy be the yoke. Believe what You spoke. From the dead You rose

Think I found my hope! Yea, let's go! We gon' see You, my God!

When the low get low, I miss my bro! We gon' see you, my dawg!

If you know, you know! We stand ten toes! Every day count that cost!

My heart shaped like a cross! In Your grace I get lost!

And I wash in Your mercy, come and search me, oh God! I was 13 rapping w—/

Gang n nem! 19, had a pipe dream, nightly was a fight scene, grieved, I—/

Sang a hymn! Come Thou Fount, of every blessing that abounds!

That's Your power when you're downturn your thorns into a crown!

Knock at my door, I let You in. We breaking bread, You my kin

I taste and see at this dinner, I find it's sweet while it's bitter

With every bite, my hope ignites, can't live by sight, but I felt it

I savor tension, can't help it. Sometimes it's dark like velvet

Hook

Seasons always change around!

You still never let me down!

I got lost, but now I'm found!

Every step is holy ground!

You're the only one I need!

I repent and I believe!

It's Your praises that we sing!

Jesus Christthe King of kings!

Verse 2

Took a bullet full of pain, passion, and desire and mixed in a little of pride

I was born in '99 in a heated marriage, you still see the fire in my eyes

20, 50, 100 million streams what's it even mean if you're broken inside

We putting glitter all over the dirt that we came from and somehow try impressing God

I needed a break from constantly checking the socials and scrolling all day

I needed to pray cause how I'm gon' post every day and have nothing to say

Where is your faith when you doing all of the work and ain't moving in grace?

Know they gon' hate, that's to be expected when they're doing nothing as great

The chosen child meets his biggest foe yet and that's the man looking in this reflection

Back then I was itching for destiny, I would go walking in any direction

Seen leaders full of pride, somehow they got too close to God for receiving correction

Why are the words of American reverends more prevalent than what is coming from Heaven, my God

If I lose, may I never sleep on how to get it, my God

Took way too long to be stressing over relevance, my God

Take me back to Your throne

Know Your heart is my home

In it I belong

I am known

Hook

Seasons always change around!

You still never let me down!

I got lost, but now I'm found!

Every step is holy ground!

You're the only one I need!

I repent and I believe!

It's Your praises that we sing!

Jesus Christthe King of kings!

biography of the artist Rob Nor:

Who Rob Nor Is

Rob Nor is a hip‑hop artist from Cleveland, Ohio, born July 31, 2000. He blends personal life experiences, faith, social‑concerns and honest storytelling in his music. Before committing to music full‑time, he had early exposure to church and the local community, which has shaped both his worldview and his artistry.

Background & Life‑Journey

Rob grew up without a consistent father‑figure, raised by his mother along with his sister. That upbringing gave him a longing for identity and belonging. He discovered rap around age 12 — a friend introduced him to it — and writing lyrics became his outlet. In high school he ran into difficulties, but the support from church leaders and youth‑pastors played an important role in offering direction. After high school he studied recording arts at community college, hoping to build a music career and support his younger sister.

In his late teens/early twenties, a period of personal struggle followed: he became a father while still very young, underwent the challenges of early parenthood during difficult times, and experienced a period when his faith was disconnected from his life. Over time, he returned to faith and used his experiences — hardship, hope, loss and redemption — to inform his music with depth, honesty and vulnerability.

Music Career & Mission

Rob Nor uses his music as a platform to merge faith, creative arts, and social justice. As much as he raps and sings, he also engages in ministry: as of 2023, he accepted a role as a Juvenile Justice Minister with a youth‑serving organization, working to help marginalized and at-risk youth. Through that role, he’s developing programs that use music and creative arts to give young people positive outlets — helping them tell their stories and find purpose.

In his own music, Rob Nor reflects on identity, hardship, faith, and community realities. His lyrical style uses metaphor, narrative, and vivid imagery to invite listeners into personal stories, while also challenging social issues and calling for hope and restoration.

Artistic Style & What Makes Him Stand Out

Rob’s music sits at the intersection of contemporary hip‑hop, faith-based insight, and community consciousness.

He’s unafraid to expose vulnerability, struggles, doubts, and redemption — giving his work emotional and spiritual weight.

His commitment to mentoring youth and using music as a tool for social change makes him different from many “just‑music” artists: he sees artistry as ministry and outreach.

Because of his mix of raw authenticity and hope-driven messages, his music resonates with listeners who appreciate both honesty and faith.
