“If I Gave It All” contains one of the most profoundly deep messages off Hulvey’s EP BRKNHRT.. The track takes a deep dive into Hulvey’s emotions towards finding faith and giving everything he has to God instead of keeping his emotions to himself. The song serves as the perfect precursor to the next...
[Chorus]
I'm scared of what I'd lose
If I gave it all to You
I'm scared of what I'd lose
If I gave it all to You
[Verse 1]
If I gave it all to You
Would You take away my lust for fame and then the music too?
Would You expose the darkest lies, replace 'em all with truth?
Would You take these things inside my heart and make me new?
What if I never sign no deal
Scrubbing these same toilets my whole life how would I feel, yeah
I'ma have to keep it real
Would You be enough if I was scrapin' for my meals?
The question is, can I give it all away?
I know the choice is freedom, but I carry all this weight
Wait, this burden more than I can take
This load is getting heavy, God, I feel like I'm gon' break
If I give it all to You will my body suffer pain?
Is this what happens when my life carry Your name?
Will I die humiliated because I gave You praise?
And if I give it all, will You break all of my chains? I'm broken
[Chorus]
I'm scared of what I'd lose
If I gave it all to You
I'm scared of what I'd lose, I'd lose
If I gave it all to You, You
[Post-Chorus]
If I lost my pain and I gave my all
Would You hold my hand and make my heart like You? (Make my heart like You)
If I lost my pain and I gave my all
Would You hold my hand and make my heart like You? Like You, You, You
[Verse 2]
It's midnight driving through traffic what if I lose my life?
What if that dude popped pills and acid but he still choose to drive?
Yeah, I realize life ain't promised, please open up my eyes
Does it get better from here? I hope my heart gon' shine
My whole life feel like a runway, I hope this plane gon' take off
I been strugglin' lately, I hope this prayer gon' pay off
But what if I miss my purpose? What if I miss my call?
Get hit with the red dot, headshot, got my blood all on these walls
It's time to give it all
[Chorus]
I'm scared of what I'd lose
If I gave it all to You
I'm scared of what I'd lose, I'd lose
If I gave it all to You, to You

I made a song called “If I Gave It All” on my EP BRKNHRT. It was written out of that place, it was just like, you know, like “what if I’m here my whole life”. You know and I never sign a deal, will God be enough?
If I gave all my ambitions away, you know, gave away, they weren’t for fame, for God,...
This song is about the fear to surrender to God. I had a fear of giving things to Him and this song captures that wrestle. If we gave away our ambitions, dreams, lies, fears, pain, etc. would He be enough?
