lyrics

Verse 1
Alarming rate us ache heart in a brace wanting
Escape but walking in place on our mistakes
Passing bills our gaps we fill with flashing thrills
Relapsing still the clash of wills reveals that
We now believe the meek will be hunted becoming
A quick feast in the beast’s stomach
So we rebelliously revel in the seven sins
Content to never get to heaven when our present ends
Feeling like we got a raw deal we put up our shields
The minute we are given the God spiel
From pastors who’d much rather captivate
Or gain stature than have people maturate
Or from sanctified sinners who pretend they know answers
Air others linen but won’t open own hampers
So we’ll hold for what ain’t worth the wait
For worse avoiding a choice that hurts to make but

Chorus
Step forward He’ll meet you half way
Still struggling He’ll greet you that way
Just quit grappling and ask Him to fashion you
That’s all you have to do so make it happen soon x 2

Verse 2
Grandiose Negroes we throw bashes printing
Cheap door passes to seem more lavish we
Yell for attention and not much else
Long as we’re held in protection with modest wealth
Yet, insecure love to see others do worse than
Keep pins accessible for balloon bursting
Slinging our mud, telling other don’t judge us
While slugging or running from the ones who most love us
We, live by astrology, die by the policy of
Get it by any means dividing our colonies
Nonchalantly ‘til the loss of a loved one
Home or job explains where it all comes from
What if He treated us like we do each other
If we could seat in His seat what would we discover
About ourselves, and how far we are from Him
We'd probably hop out of it hard and start running

Chorus

Verse 3
Pray hard for women still treating the same scar
Caged behind bars they created to safeguard
From dudes playing game by the art of war
Revolving doors ignoring their heart's are sore plus listen
I stay running and bumping into old friends
Who seemed lack the glow that they had owned then
Swearing their lives are golden, while their eyes
Moan of a soul that would not mind atonement
Silver or gold I have none
But I'll extend both arms praying you’ll grab one
Then quickly pour the pills down the drain untie that rope
Laid down the pistol or the blade, come try that hope
Listen no one is gonna make you break loose
It’s on you to escape and make moves
You want out troop don’t talk do it
A door's but a wall if you don’t walk through it

Chorus
