Everything

Song Meaning

Hulvey's "Everything" builds its case for surrender out of ordinary moments rather than grand declarations. The chorus repeats a confession of exhaustion — being tired of holding on, tired of searching — and turns that weariness into the act of giving God everything. A middle verse grounds the theme in a friendship: a brother named Smooth whose life visibly changed, a phone call where the two pray together, and the admission that even after that, the rapper still craves validation and struggles with patience. That honesty keeps the song from sounding like a victory lap. Later verses describe being caught in the past, chasing purpose through rap, and then finding something lasting instead — grace described as a great escape, a hand reaching down while drowning, water for someone thirsty. The repeated lines about searching and finding, and about faith that moves mountains, give the track a testimony shape: wandering first, then relief. The closing lines hand over control entirely, repeating "take myself, You have control" like a mantra, and the final word is simply letting go. It's a song about the relief that comes when striving finally stops.

God I give You everything (Everything)
I'm tired of holding on, I'm tired of holding on
God I give You everything (Everything)
I been searching for so long, yeah
Ayy, searching for so long, for so long
For so long, for so long
I'm tired of holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on
I give You everything

This for my bro named Smooth
We was down at school
I seen your life changed, I seen your heart move
Now you know the truth, you went through some pain
You had the wrong things, you threw them all away
Ayy, ayy, you call me the other day
Yeah, yeah, we got on the phone and prayed
Thanking God me and my brothers never gonna be the same
Got off the phone, hit my knees, I don't want the fame
I keep holding on, I want validation
I been waiting, now I'm lacking patience
I surrender all these things that been in my way
Want to be who I was made

God I give You everything (Everything)
I'm tired of holding on, I'm tired of holding on (Oh)
God I give You everything (Everything)
I been searching for so long, yeah
Ayy, searching for so long, for so long
For so long, for so long
I'm tired of holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on
I give You everything

I can't look back, I was so caught up in the past
I was trying to find purpose in the rap
True gift, true love that really lasts
I been, trippin', gotta slow it down and listen
I'm tired of feeling this distance, I give it all 'cause I'm slippin'
How You gon' tell me You love me when I ran away?
I can't explain this grace, this is the great escape
On my knees and I break, uh
I stand up and shake, uh
This is what real life look like
I'm tired of the fakes and the look-alikes
I need some peace
I was searching and I found it
I was thirsty for the fountain
I got faith to move the mountains
Gave me Your hand when I was drowning
I was searching and I found it
I was thirsty for the fountain
I got faith to move the mountains
Gave me Your hand when I was drowning

God I give You everything (Everything)
I'm just tired of holding on, on, on, on, on
God I give You everything (Everything)
I been searching for so long, yeah
Ayy, searching for so long, for so long
For so long, for so long
I'm tired of holding on, holding on
Holding on, holding on
I give You everything

Take myself
You have control
Take myself
You have control
Take myself
You have control
Everyday
I let go
