[Verse One]
|
All I ever wanted was to know the truth
|
Seeking Jesus at 16 meaning my middle youth
|
Man I really hungered and had this inner thirst
|
Absurd the thought of me even missin' a day of church
|
Man it felt like heaven, especially Bible study
|
I had my Bible pen and pad sittin' next to my buddies
|
The Word had us open especially certain verses
|
Spendin' hours in worship man it just felt so perfect
|
And then after the service out on the parking lot
|
Laughin' and rappin' for hours afterwards we talked a lot
|
Felt like your second family for me felt like my first
|
We lost our ties when my grandmother died I kept in hurt
|
Remember certain ministers inspired you to learn
|
You had anxiety inside and just waitin' your turn
|
People announce they callin' jumpin' and shoutin'
|
That dun dunt dun dunt it was so arousin'
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Give us the truth that's what we need
|
Lying leaders been deceivin' us since we were seeds
|
Give us the truth that's what we need
|
Teachers and preachers teach us the things that set us free
|
Give us the truth that's what we need
|
Parents teach us bout Jesus before we get older
|
Give us the truth that's what we need
|
Sin is spreading and the world is getting colder
|
|
[Verse Two]
|
Then that first year progressed and turned into five
|
Learning so much and I'm comin' in touch closer with God
|
Some things were gettin' sticky I mean real sticky
|
I'm trippin' I'm wonderin' was Jesus even really with me
|
Man I felt numb meanin' I lost my feelin'
|
People standin', dancin', liftin' hands while I was chillin'
|
No longer loved the sermons felt like I wasn't learnin'
|
The topics taught on weren't touchin' my inner yearnings
|
And then some behavior seemed like counterfeit revival
|
I looked for Scriptures that supported this off in the Bible
|
Yet I couldn't find it I felt blinded
|
I thought it was a demon in error I tried to bind it
|
But nothin' happened here comes depression
|
Maybe when they threw the Holy Spirit that I didn't catch Him
|
Did I miss my blessin'? Felt unprotected
|
In the midst of a war scarred without my weapon
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse Three]
|
Then I left St. Louis on a tour with Cross Movement
|
And who would have knew it these dudes have also been through it
|
I shared my brokenness feelings of hopelessness
|
For so long faked my emotions no one even noticed it
|
Yet it was obvious God in His providence
|
Put me with people to guide me and got me outta this
|
And then my other brother T.R.U.T.H. began to share the same
|
I almost wept I saw the steps it took to bear the name
|
Without truth left me in utter confusion
|
Without truth left me with subtle delusions
|
Without truth no longer fought to win
|
Without truth drove me back into sin
|
The depth of this journey can't be described in words
|
This is just the tip of the iceberg
|
But from now until my death this is what I'll do
|
I'm learning standing and I'll fight for truth
|
|
[Chorus]
|
