It's a long shot tryna keep the people honest It's the wrong spot for us to be knee deep in our own vomit Truth hurts, it cuts to the quick, much like the prophets The news burns it's divided disunited out for profits While lies are in process polluting minds and called modest I'm astonished, by people's expertise that's no higher than a novice And I'll be the first to say I'm not the strongest Can't predict the end of time, nah, I'm no Nostradamus Yet I'm not an ignoramus No, I'm not following Mohammed I'm not a hater either Truth is, I'm ruthless toward myself and a world of loose kids Needing discipline and reality checks from these illusions Elusive as truth gets, we need to harness it before becoming useless Salt without it's saltiness, dry fruits, they're all juiceless Taste God's good let's kill the confusion Hear me when I say it's only good with Christ in it Fear him and obey is how we bring the life innit Hard to say I'm White play to politics light skinning Me alive for the moment I'm keepin my sight centered We've all struggled with sinning, from the beginning We entered a world of broke mortals, creating portals In the mind, postmodern by design, truth is left behind Aah, you monkey Integrity comes from the Latin word integer meaning whole or complete No fragmentations or disparity within the concept in question True to form pure in its fullness How do I get away from the hell in myself How do I stand and face all I've failed and excel Where is my faith when I'm fearfully overwhelmed I know there's a Way to freedom in something else I've lied, stolen, cheated, and broken my own self I was tied up and beaten a hostage inside my own cell I told myself again and again no way I would fail The lies kept me broken and hurting thoughts perverted Just a nerd kid, teenager flirting with death and girls lurking Shirking response to my abilities, talented but lazy attitude My heart only for pleasure, instant grat, without the gratitude Kill me make me a martyr is what the truth say Still me shake me until the unhealthy roots break Fill me make me a product of something you'd be Chill me out so I can sense and see what you see Kill me make me a martyr is what the truth say Still me shake me until the unhealthy roots break Fill me make me a product of something you'd be Chill me out so I can sense and see what you see A snake in the garden is where the despair started In Adam all fell, sin convicted man without a pardon Sleepin with sin will be the reason our hearts harden Here's where it hurts listen we headed to uncharted Territory, scared the story, will end without victory Sick by forty No passion or interest could push away what's mandatory Self glory fizzled, leaving you confused and a little horny It's soundin corny, yet you livin pleasure by any measure Where's your treasure You only live for feeling good or whatever However, you should remember forever is a long time No power to rewind, moving forward by design There's no other way to truth if it's rooted in divine Siren's singing lullabies got you by surprise Dashed by the rocks you were warned you were blind But the truth always hurts, accept it and you will find Love breaks hatred, light through dark times Truth breaks Satan, fight through harsh lies Love breaks nations, Christ will still shine Yeah, Christ will still shine
