[INTRO – SLOW, DETUNED GUITARS, HEAVY DISTORTION, FEEDBACK HUM] [DRUMS COME IN LIKE A MARCH – SLOW, TOM-HEAVY, DOOMED] [VOCALS LOW, WHISPERED – SPOKEN ALMOST IN A GROWL] Yeah... Sometimes the enemy ain't outside... It's in me. Truth hurts. Let’s go... [VERSE 1 – MUSIC QUIETS, SLOW 808s DROP IN, MULTIPLE ACOUSTIC GUITARS PLAY BOTH LEAD AND RHYTHM] [VOCALS: Rapper: 1, CONVICTING LATINO VOCALS] My heart been talkin’, but I had to check the source, Feelin’ good ain't proof that I'm on the righteous course. Just ‘cause it vibe don’t mean it’s divine, Sometimes a serpent be smilin’ in line. I used to trust every feelin’ inside, Till I read that the flesh and the spirit collide. Jeremiah said the heart is deceitful, So I look in the mirror and question my people. Am I chasin' love or lust? Is it peace or a rush? Is it holy or hush-hush, hidden in a hush? Don’t tell me “follow your heart,” that thing crooked, It’ll lead you off cliffs wearin’ chains like they hood rich. [CHORUS – TEMPO PICKS UP, DOUBLE TIME FEEL, ELECTRIC GUITAR RETURNS, DRUMS BEAT THE RYTHM] [VOCALS: Singer: 1, VOCALS EXPLODE WITH EMOTION, AND SUBTLE HARMONIES, RAPPER: 1 SINGS THE END OF EACH VERSE] 🎵 I can’t trust what I feeeeeel...(What I feel) Gotta test what is reeeeaaaal...(What is real) LORD SHINE YOUR LIGHT! EXPOSE WHAT I CONCEAL! 🎵 Help me see through the liiies,(Through the liiiies) Help me open my eyyyyes,(Open my eyes) I want the TRUUUTH Even when it don't pacify! [INSTRUMENTAL TAG – GUITAR SCREAM, BASS DRONE] [VERSE 2 – 808S KICK IN AS ACOUSTIC GUITAR GROWS IN INTENSITY] [VOCALS: Rapper: 1, CONVICTING, EVEN MORE DESPERATE] Look... You ever seen a preacher fall for fame? Or a prophet sell hope for a brand name? We all got skin that craves the wrong flame, That’s why discernment ain’t optional in this game. I ain’t exempt, I feel the pull too, But the Word cut deep like it know what I do. Hebrews four, man, it pierce through the joints, Separate the soul from the Spirit – that’s the point. Some say “it’s love,” but it’s lust in disguise, Some say “it’s truth,” but can’t look in God's eyes. So I test every motive, check every vibe, Even angels fell when they followed pride... [CHORUS – SLOWER, DARKER THIS TIME – DROP IN OCTAVE] 🎵 I can’t trust what I feeeeeel...(WHAT I FEEL) Gotta test what is reeeeaaaal...(WHAT IS REAL) LORD SHINE YOUR LIGHT! EXPOSE WHAT I CONCEAL! 🎵 Help me see through the liiies,(THROUGH THE LIIIES) Help me open my eyyyyes,(OPEN MY EYES) I want the TRUUUTH Even when it don't pacify! [BRIDGE – HALFTIME FEEL, ALMOST SPOKEN, INSTRUMENTS QUIET AS ACOUSTIC GUITARS LEAD THE WAY] [VOCALS: Singer: 1, GHOSTLY, THEN BURSTING] You feelin’ some type of way? ...Cool… ask why. Trace that root, pull it up, don’t let it lie. Just ‘cause the culture co-sign, don’t mean it’s wise. Just ‘cause it feel right, don’t mean it don’t die... [BUILDING DRUMS – GAIN INCREASES, VOCALS EXPLODE] We want signs, but ignore the Word, We chase likes, but neglect the hurt. We think “freedom” means do what we want, But freedom without truth is a cell up front! [VERSE 3 – ALMOST SPOKEN, BARELY HELD TOGETHER – BREAKDOWN FEEL] [VOCALS: VULNERABLE, TREMBLING, THEN ERUPTING] I battle my own self daily... My flesh talk reckless, actin’ all crazy. So I fast, and I pray, not for show or a stage, But 'cause I know this war ain’t mild—it’s rage. I ain’t callin’ out them... I’m preachin’ to me. My desires ain’t clean Just ‘cause they come naturally. What’s popular don’t mean it’s right... And what feels good Don’t Equal LIIIIIGHT! [FINAL CHORUS – FULL-BAND, HARMONIOUS VOCALS, RAW EMOTION] 🎵 I can’t trust what I feeeeeel... Gotta test what is reeeeaaaal... LORD SHINE YOUR LIGHT! EXPOSE WHAT I CONCEAL! 🎵 Help me see through the liiies, Help me open my eyyyyes, I want the TRUUUTH Even when it don't pacify! [OUTRO – GUITARS SUSTAIN, VOCALS FADE TO WHISPERS] 🎵 Even if it hurts… Even if it breaks me… Let it be truth that remakes me… 🎵 [DELAYED FEEDBACK. FINAL GUITAR SQUEAL. DROP TO SILENCE.]
