"Free me from worry and wanting pity / Free me from all this envy in me / I don't want these feelings / I don't want these feelings / I call on angels / Im trying hard to face my pain, yeah / Give me hope when I feel / Give me hope when I feel less," he belted out.

Many felt his latest track was a stark transition from his devil visuals in the Montero (Call Me By Your Name) music video.

"GOD IS NOT AN ERA. IT'S A LIFESTYLE," one naysayer commented before Tyrese entered the chat and scolded the Industry Baby performer.

Tyrese left a comment under The Shade Room's post spotlighting Nas X's new single. "Y'all gone learn to stop playing with God … God is not to be played with … From shoes with devil signs and devils blood in the [shoe] sole?" he wrote. "We can all change I get it but I feel a way about people making a mockery about Jesus. Do you, life your life .. Do what makes you happy but yall better stop playing with Jesus out here."

Lil Nas X later fired back at Tyrese and said he was overreacting. "This really crazy cuz all I did was post a song about asking god for hope when you feel hopeless and yall acting like I posted a video of me burning a church down and peeing on a nativity scene."
