Faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing; or the observance of an obligation from loyalty; or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement; or a belief not based on proof; or it may refer to a particular system of religious belief, such as in which faith is confidence based on some degree of warrant. The term 'faith' has numerous connotations and is used in different ways, often depending on context.
The English word faith is thought to date from 1200–50, from the Middle English feith, via Anglo-French fed, Old French feid, feit from Latin fidem, accusative of fidēs (trust), akin to fīdere (to trust).
There is a wide spectrum of opinion with respect to the epistemological validity of faith.
Fideism is an epistemological theory which maintains that faith is independent of reason, or that reason and faith are hostile to each other and faith is superior at arriving at particular truths (see natural theology).
Fideism is not a synonym for religious belief, but describes a particular philosophical proposition in regard to the relationship between faith's appropriate jurisdiction at arriving at truths, contrasted against reason. It states that faith is needed to determine some philosophical and religious truths, and it questions the ability of reason to arrive at all truth. The word and concept had its origin in the mid- to late-19th century by way of Catholic thought, in a movement called Traditionalism. The Roman Catholic Magisterium has, however, repeatedly condemned fideism.
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (born 25 June 1963), better known by his stage name George Michael, is an English singer, songwriter and record producer. Michael rose to fame during the 1980s and 1990s with his style of post-disco dance-pop. He has also been characterised as a blue-eyed soul singer, although his material draws more from middle-of-the-road pop than soul music.
As one of the world's best-selling music artists, Michael has sold more than 80 million records worldwide. His 1987 debut solo album, Faith, has on its own sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Michael has garnered seven number one singles in the UK and eight number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked Michael the 40th most successful artist on the Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists list.
Michael has won numerous music awards throughout his 30-year career, including three Brit Awards—winning Best British Male twice, four MTV Video Music Awards, four Ivor Novello Awards, three American Music Awards, and two Grammy Awards from eight nominations.

Make way for the new comer
I'm what this shit needs my nigga exclude plumbers
I invented the deal doing a few numbers
Kill June through August make it a cruel summer
The foundation my audio's diary
I got drive nigga can't you hear the tightest grip
Why be them when there's apparent I admire me
Real talking droppin' new tape for the entire week
Motherfucker that's work ethic
Motherfuckers ain't fucking with my worse efforts
It's game time all I know is outplay 'em
But I don't mention money 'cause that goes without
saying
Multitask count money past indoor
I swear we the shit somebody crack a window
Somebody tell these niggas what they in for
I'm really real what the fuck would I pretend for
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
problem that He can't fix
[Verse 2]
Money and respect is what I'm out to get
Alot of niggas claiming summer but I doubt this shit
Been in a lab experiment young alchemist
The outcome is the tape sounded quite albumish
My mind's clear the pope and his blown
By displaying work ethic devotion is shown
Around this time nigga she I hope you be on
And don't compare me to these niggas that's locally
known
I witnessed the effect that my music have
And ever since that very moment my focus has grown
Hard work and had that money coming in
A nigga hates to lose more than I let her win
Oh you running shit, come again
You should quit running your mouth bitch and run it
then
In the process of doing it don't overdo it
What's the purpose of a dream if you don't go pursue it
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
problem that He can't fix
[Verse 3]
My future's bright 'cause my past was darker
I'm cherising this life and all it has to offer
Another writer who excel in the class of authors
And that wall shit I had to give up my back up offer
But believe it with my back against the wall
I'm still creating up music you can actually applaud
Niggas be wanting features but that has to be a cause
In acces hurt in my shit so it don't have to see a blog
The blessings coming at a fast pace
I trust the goddess and the Lord to never lack faith
Going hard 'til it's nothing in my casket
Overly dedicated till I've surpassed great
And the same is famous in the diction
And for some I need to fix it hard to stop like bad
break
I'm getting high on life, minus the kush blunts to
occupy my ashtray
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
