Hallow Man (feat. Taelor Gray)

[Taelor Gray]

Maybe it's just magic, maybe it's just wisdom

And you can see the moral, but you see contradiction

And you just buy the cameras, never see the candids

You just see the bandits, the building is abandoned

And you just seek a man so you won't fall

But I say it's fallen and we feel so small

And we can see this world build this case against Him

At worst He's a liar, at best He's a mystery

But did you see a martyr? Did you witness murder?

Didn't we all start it? Didn't we deserve it?

Tell me what's living when your death can't hurt you

When love brings shame and pain becomes virtue

This is long-ranged chivalry, open, open doors to forever

I'm hoping for forever

Long live the Hallow Man, Hallow Man

Lionheart, blinding heart

Promise I'm gon' see You at the end

I see You when we mount of wings with eagles and get carried by the wind

Told us You gon' carry us again

When it's just more than rose from concrete

It's gold in the concrete, soul from the Isleys

The soul in the body come alive for the very first time

The water turns to wine, the water turns fine

Said I'm just telling stories, this is just an urban legend

This is my philosophy, but I got all the questions

Pomp and circumstance, fall in love with clergy

The scroll spoke to me, said there's only one worthy

It's well welled eyes, knees tremble on the pavement

Not much that I can say, but I can say that I'm persuaded

So what's another artist just tryna sell you songs

If I ain't shed no tears from that 23rd Psalm

This will make the song cry

Remember titans from the strong side

I was fighting for the wrong side, this is the reward

I don't need the world's ears, I just need yours

Was fighting for the wrong side, this is the reward

I don't need the world's ears, I just need yours

[Christon Gray]

I think the 98' Chris is back to scribbling chicken scratch

I'm a songbird that loves its cage, you'll just have to live with that

Still a gang of good memories, my old neighborhood misses me

In my dreams, then I wake with you could say a new energy

Let me give some of that to you, yo it's been a long year

Just remember we're passing through, we never belonged here

Stay with the winner, I'm just tryna be strong here

I'm chasing these Scriptures while I'm erasing these pictures

And me and Cristy, we making it, people think we be faking it

That's cool, deception's all about the tools you can face it with

I still wrestle with demons, still protected by angels

To be or not to be, the choice I left on the table

You don't mess with the labels, cause you see what I deal with

Take the I out of this Cain and suggest that I'm Abel

Don't wear your heart on your sleeve

Don't bid on the lie that I bought

Let so-ons be so-ons, let bygones be byes gone

From C.S. to G. Craig Lewis

Cut them with a knife, you'll see red fluid

My whole point is we just human

So I'm learning how to take orders when he says do it

Got that draw on me and you and B.J. on the mountaintop

It's bigger than music, you got this album that's bout to drop

Their arms getting longer, but they still don't know how to Bach

I'll be right there with you, I don't know to know stop

[Taelor Gray]

My eyes locked on the vanity's glass

You barely see the image, look the fairest has a blemish

The witches out for blood like the fairest is a menace

They got you looking back, tryna cherish this as art

But the marriage is a farce, you just married to the chemist

You wishing you was Breaking Bad, but barely breaking even

In the basement with your steno pad cooking up some evil

Then dress it up as Similac and give it to the people

It's no more metaphors, it's not just for the conscious rhymes

It's for my conscience, I swore I wouldn't compromise

When we was kids, we used to pray before we'd write

I really miss the balance of childish and childlike

Look, all we ever wanted was to let the Spirit lead

At the end of our performance, we would end up on our knees

Singing first things first, like we knew who had supremacy

More than just some chemistry and far from all this timid speech

More like that old Wyman's harmony

Jesus in our lungs, so we can worship at the Carnegie

We can worship like we saw the Lamb before us

All time would stop and we just caught up in the chorus

With the angels and the witnesses that whisper from the clouds

I scribble down the scriptures, turn the Scriptures into sounds

Turn these pictures into words, the depictions into nouns

A strip search of my motives, broken cisterns hit the ground

This ain't nostalgia, what you hearing is progression

The King wields the weapon, it's the spear or it's the scepter

We ain't never left Him, we holding up the lighters

It's not just Leonidas, it's the pen of ready writers

I can hear the questions, man, they think we losing focus

Hey, what's that instrumental? Yo, what's that School of Roses?

We'll never be afraid, we solicit all your prayers

Cause you ain't seen the half, just promise you ain't scared
