Interlude

Interlude

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'

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

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

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
