I was born in the city, it wasn't pretty dawg
My life fallin' through the crack
Rationalizing everything that I
Sippin' sin 'til it baptized me
Wrapping myself in these chains
And I'll be gone in a minute
Compromised my heart for a pile of dirt
A second later I can't even
Tell wrong from right top speed, downhill
A little anger turns quick into
A couple blunts, a couple pills
A couple lines, just to cover up how I feel
But I can't even care no more
I'm just tryin' not to show it
Wonderin' what I'm livin' for?
Stuck in between my faith and my demons
And I'm kickin' and screamin' just lookin'
Too proud to believe in a God I ain't seein'
Still I want it even though I'm
A slave tonight, free in regard to right
Thinkin' I'm lovin' every minute
And I can't even see the light
But I'll be gone any minute
If anything's raining down on me from heaven
It's a lot of pain but in the end
I'll be wonderin' what it was I gained
From fillin' my life with the things
What if in the end I find I'm wrong
And I ain't got nothin' left?
When everything I loved is dead and gone
And the paycheck to my sin is death?
God you see what I've been through
And all this life that I've ruined
Where all these things that I
Don't want to do is what I find myself doin'
But I'm free! And I love it!
I've seen God and I want some more of it!
I'm still a slave just a different master
But I've never worn chains that felt so free!
A slave tonight, free in regard to right
Thinkin' I'm lovin' every minute
And I can't even see the light
But I'll be gone any minute
