N8 - Truth Lyrics

Can I speak the truth
Or do you prefer lies
I don't wanna hide my pain somewhere deep inside
I've been battling depression almost all my life
The times I look the happiest is when my heart cries, yeah
Can you hear my heart cry
I let it bleed, then I pour it in my pen and write
I'm on my knees, I've been praying in my bed at night
I need to breathe, I can barely sleep most nights, yeah
The xans tried to take my life
Look I ain't even playing man I almost died that night
But God came through with that light
God came through with His angels that night
I used to mix the lean with the sprite, yeah
I used to smoke weed every night, yeah
I knew something just wasn't feeling right
So I had to spread my wings to ascend to newer heights
I had to slow it down and try to get a better sight
I had to clear my mind, took about twelve fortnights
Walking down the road in the moonlight
Hop inside my whip and speed off
Hit the brakes but I ain't lose the drive, yeah
Nah I ain't lose it though
I guess the harder it gets, we just keep moving on
I'll never quit, God told me I'm his chosen one
So if you don't wanna stay, baby walk right out that door
Lately I've had my knees on the floor
Reaching out my hands to the one up on the throne
I'm so tired of being down, so it's time I go and soar
Get my feet up off the ground, it's time I go to war
Lately I've been thinking 'bout what is best for me
Honestly I need to figure out what is meant for me
God show me the way I need your energy
God show me the way to where the grass is green
God show me the way to where the grass is green
Yeah, uh
I'm holding onto God's words till my last breath
Every word in front of me, I'm walking up the steps
Really blessed, eternal life is the best gift
But I don't even deserve it I need to confess, yeah
I've made mistakes so many times
Hurt so many people I wish I could hit rewind
So much guilt and shame filling up my mind
And I've been praying to the sky, please God give me a sign, yeah
My God, so divine
Can you see, how the stars, they align, yeah
And I done told so many lies
Everyday I wake up and thank God that I'm alive, yeah
And I can feel my heart racing, my mind pacing
I can't get lost in translation, the matrix
Holy Spirits presence so amazing
I gotta keep it moving I can never be complacent, yeah
And I just wanna be the best that I can be
No more looking back, I'm just finding who I'm supposed to be
Put your hand on my chest and feel my heartbeat
The truth is I don't know where to go, but we got the keys
The truth is I don't know where to go, but we got the keys
So let's ride, so let's ride, let's ride
Can I speak the truth, or do you prefer lies, yeah
Can I speak the truth, or do you prefer lies
