Lately I've been looking at the clock,
I don't really have much time.
Lately I've been thinking 'bout death,
honestly it's always on my mind.
Lately I've been feeling so dark,
living where the sun don't shine.
Honestly I'm looking for the light,
telling me to open up the blinds.
Then I realize the problem is I don't have hope.
The only time I get away
is when I smoke that dope.
So let me get another hit, homie,
pass that roach, I wanna flow,
where I'm going I don't need no rope.
Gonna pull me down, I've been running around
the town looking for the freedom.
I don't want to be bound.
I feel the chains on my neck and they're pulling me down.
They wanna tear me to a place, I will never be found.
Ye so I stuble in the church, feeling so hurt,
pastor tells me that I gotta go to work,
that it's all about the things that I'm doing for the lord.
I can never do enough, so I keep on doing more.
Keep on working hard
cause I gotta do a job, but the work I'm doing never helping with the scars, never helping with the pain that I'm feeling in my heart.
Say I gotta love god, but he's feeling so far I don't really know.
PREACHER (
BRIDGE):
It is the highest form of legalism to manipulate people.
It is the biggest demon that ever lived and walked on the earth.
It is the demon of religion.
Makes you deject it, puts you in chains, binds you up, wraps you up.
Then we wonder why church attendance is dropping...
You don't earn by your behavior intimacy with god.
You earn intimacy with god through what jesus has already done for you:
By believing in what Jesus said.
I've been feeling so lost,
picking up the pieces, I've been trying to count the cost.
Got no money in the bank but they say I gotta pay.
If I really gotta do it, what's the point in the cross.
I don't get it.
Put me in a box, I don't fit it.
I took a break from the rappin', you know it's been a minute.
Now I'm back on a mission, getting ready to kill it.
And I don't care if you're offended, you better be getting with it.
I've been living with attention and you know that I hate it.
I missed my birthday for the music.
Homie, happy but lated.
I wanna drop another album, man, I'm feeling impatient.
But then I know I wasn't ready so I'm happy I waited.
Cause I've been batteling demons and I've been fighting with satan.
I'm making music that ...
for all the people relating.
I wanna keep it authentic.
I gotta dream and I'll make it.
I got all of these people...
for the picture I'm painting.
It's like:
I hate when people act like they're perfect, I hate when everybody only acting good on the surface.
Behavior modification is what they preach in the service, they wanna tell them they forgive them but they still gotta earn.
They think the favor of god is something they gotta puchase and then they wonder why these people up and leaving the churches.
It's looking dark up in the house but imma open the curtains.
This ain't an accident I got here on purpose.
Man, I've been working.
Taking layers off the surface, I've been trying to take it deeper.
If I ever find a woman that love me then Imma keep her.
To the rappers out there making a living.
Man I'm a reaper, long way to the top and I'm only making it steeper.
This is more than just a game I've been doing it for the people.
Working hard to make a difference, I'm breaking out of the steeple.
Never try to stop me I'm dropping em' like Keneba, killing evil.
Speaking thruth in the lies that are so decieving.
