    Gid did this on purpose just to shine his glory, see how coherent brenda is and her freestyling lyrics are angelic amd she made the song even more spiritually for a reson, God is trying to tell us something and its deep. I feel its either u high l, sober or not but God can use you bcoz of ur talent. This is video is nothing but a legit testimony that GOD lives
