Lyrics

, god gave me a stern intervention, now i'm on the verge of redemption, but it's hard to let the past go, when the past is always the first thing mentioned, will the birds still chirp if the sun don't rise?, will the plants all die if the sun don't shine?, how can we see but we run 'round blind? i'm just askin', and i know in my heart of heart's that if rap don't work i'll be back to trappin', i pray that i fall while them rats are laughin', i've done seen violence, masters passion, let me tell you what we believe, told a lot of lies don't speak to me, time to tell the truth, i've increased the need, i guess it's time to let go of the beast in me, i'll be the first to admit, i built a motherfuckin' house of lies, but i burned it up and stood by that bitch with a gasoline can, i doused the fire, but i still got burned, and tables still got turned, i had to lick my wounds so know my scars are ones i've earned, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies, the brightest light that i see tonight, still shinin' bright from that burnin' bridge, that i made it off of, made it out, but i still doubt that i can stay away, love the flame that we set ablaze, we dance around it and we celebrate, 'til someone die then it resonate, and we point the fingers, wanna place the blame, we speculatin', incriminatin', leave someone life behind a prison gate, i was filled with hate, there's no hunger like a starvin' artist, my kids relate, i was stayin' broke, tryna pay my dues, when it's said and done all the winners lose, been a lonely path that us sinners choose, said it's first or last, either win or lose, life's a garden, better throw your seeds, grow some trees, better kill the weeds, 'fore they kill your garden, 'cause the hardest part was lettin' go of all of my broken dreams, got plenty stains still on my soul, like the blood stains of my wardrobe, my horoscope said long journey, but a short road only lord knows, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, they said the truth will set you free, it's what the preacher man said to me, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies, money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize, livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide, holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive, live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies
