The Outside

Lyrics

Verse 1

Woke up one mornin
Woke up one mornin and i seen i had these chains on my feet
Weren’t always there they used to be like, anklets to me
I didn’t know i was a slave until i tried to go free

I felt resistance
Hm
I felt resistance in my head thinkin, why would you leave?
reverse psychology actin like you can’t shut the world out
Reverse psychology honestly tryna spin my world round

It’s alone without the people you love
If you ain’t livin for them, then you just livin because
Don’t try to sing me no hymn, don’t try and point up above
All of this heavenly talk, but still can’t fight Satan’s sons

Yeah it’s important to pray, but don’t just tell me you will
Want you to drop the agenda, so i can know that it’s real
Plug yourself to the world, do you know how it feels?
I want for you what i want for myself, and that is to heal so you betta get to runnin

Chorus

Run to the sunset, run to the hillside
Take what you know and, go find the real God
Funny you can take a brick of truth and still build lies
Promise you gone get a different view from the outside

Run to the sunset, run to the hillside
Take what you know and, go find the real God
Funny you can take a brick of truth and still build lies
Promise you gone get a different view from the outside

Verse 2

Oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh

I ain’t talkin Jada Pickett when I say that we entangled
we got demons mayors preachers coming in from every angle
Everybody got a truth and the proof of they angels
See em comin for the youth, gotta get em all mangled huh

Allegiance to a country with its star’s all spangled
Allegiance to religion when it don’t really change you
And why seek forgiveness if you let the past stain you?
And why seek repentance if you feel it can't save you?

I just put it in the air and I let God pay me
Free fallin where my wings I hope God save me
I got the job without degrees that was God baby
I got the mindset to be free beat the odds crazy

From losing my baby to thinkin maybe just maybe
If I keep going he’ll take me to where he is I know crazy
but I been wishin it lately
Then I look at my lady know she been wishin it daily

I hope these verses can save me I hear the churches will take me
Type in the search engine how can I find my worth again?
Feel I need to be birthed again, start from scratch be observant
Of everything that’s around me to keep myself from the hurt of it
Can’t reverse this shit, write a verse again/

Chorus

Run to the sunset, run to the hillside
Take what you know and, go find the real God
Funny you can take a brick of truth and still build lies
Promise you gone get a different view from the outside

Run to the sunset, run to the hillside
Take what you know and, go find the real God
Funny you can take a brick of truth and still build lies
Promise you gone get a different view from the outside

Outro

Oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh
