We're all born free
We choose what we're a slave to be
I was the perfect breeding for the antichrist
those satanists couldn't take it out of me
Yeah these dudes can claim more success than me, but none o them dudes got so much soul like me
None o them stared straight in the devils eyes n survived like me,
none o them crawled out the abyss after they died like me
see I've felt whats here but not seen, so time to really kick into high gear
fuckboys say all they need is weed, cus all they got is fear
And I aint tryna party wit muthafuckas who dont even care
i dont wanna turn back cus im finally here
so fuck muthafuckas who've never had their innocence stolen, that tell me i've got a problem with trust
cats wanna take shortcuts to feel god, why when He put it in Us
He designed me as a vessel to speak to Him and we
For we are infinite and godly, but God is more than We
when I was all alone no where to be seen mommy
I dont want those thought snatchers keep snatchin me back to that
then momma's anxiety strikes back to that whenever she see me, to now praying n hoping i dont od
We've been thru enough hell thats why i gotta stay clean
these other dudes is fake feigns, they teaching these kids to fake feelings
no chemical can tell me what to do, i break buildings
i never did drugs to be cool, i did drugs cus noone wanted this alien on the planet so I went elsewhere
cus muthafuckers cant see your struggles and e'en if they did why the fuck should they care
So I fake flair, as if thats what we need
I don't know why the past stalks n catches up to feed
And I cared too much, so I gave too many fucks to people that have none
But don't you know Love is infinite stupid, I'm still onnnnn
I give it all away to be restored, keep lovin onnnnnn
though the sobriety got me feelin like im almost gone
I just know running had made me feelin like I was free
seer to be clear what shadow can not see
but when the devil is always on the heels, life can be exhausting
So I stopped and I stood until heart focused on my art
And I don't care about the "why" anymore, I'm just trying to do my part
And I know kids don't really care about art anymore, yet still here, here is my heart
And if i had a child i would tell her
be who you are, dont let no one else tell it
youre free to do whatever you want dear
you just have to face the consequences
Dont' fret tho, spread across populaces* (X2)
I don't wish for you to understand, we were built to bear our unique burdens, and these incessant deaths are solely for me
I'd rather you feel just like me, but I'm way too selfish to share with you my misery
This forever feeling thats ever eating, inside out death is bleeding my free
An abysmal disease with reach, I've been here before so you can give this curse to me
I don't wish for you to understand, incessant deaths that make up who I be
I'd rather you feel just like me, but I'm way too selfish to share with you my misery
Forever eating its way out of me, inside out death is bleeding me empty
An abysmal disease with reach, I've tread these waters cursing my calamity
When enslaved to this mentality, eyes cannot see past what is eating me
I'd be good if God just stays close to me, cursing forsakens at His name in vain
Believing he has forgotten me
Second guessing to figure which is the lie? I don't know.
The intuition put into me through holy spirit has always truly guided me
But these angels and demons are looking identical to me
Whether the bet is so small and fleeting as self
Or colossally expansive as life n death
In what man but God contains 'The Greatest Wealth'
Thou will know life, when thou knows 'There Is No Hunger Like Death'
So faithlessly forever we thirst
Rather than drinking eternal life to never thirst again
Where there's no me is where I be me
Is this Love fading or Death eating me...
