Lyrics
This is who I am guess you know me now
Whether drama or the rules I am acting out
Whether social constructs or the flipping ground
Either way, 6 feet ain't enough to hold this man down
Imma rise above it, I'm alive and cutting
Through these wires around the governed
Like a knife through butter, chains off those who suffer
In the fire my blood will cover
The calm before the storm, okay okay okay okay
I'm not okay with giving away my freedom peacefully
Cuz peace you see isn't just simply achieved
By being silent about the violent measures being taken
It's about finding common ground to confide in if I'm not mistaken
Wait nah, I think it's deeper than that
Peace is something sought after
True tranquility is found at last
After a sacrifice of selfish, after carelessness
After arrogance is put in the ditch instead of these Samaritans
Just cause' we're not American doesn't mean their policies don't affect our families
Behold my brethren in Christ standing against
These unlawful POV's while standing in light
Of the pressure weighing down on us
Carrying this cross we trust in a bigger God with love that covers a lot of stuff
When is enough enough? When is the end of your rut?
Time to shake off the rust. Time to take off the fluffing mask
Ah! please go check the facts
Do your own digging in the backyard of your heart
If we want see the start of an alpha generation
Than we ought to refuse saying yes to them
Forcing this cloth on our face man
Watch for Clorox, the reality we're facing is
The agenda more deadly than the virus
Even being offended is better than compliant
This is who I am guess you know me now
Whether drama or the rules I am acting out
Whether social constructs or the flipping ground
Either way, 6 feet ain't enough to hold this man down
Imma rise above it, I'm alive and cutting
Through these wires around the governed
Like a knife through butter, chains off those who suffer
In the fire my blood will cover
The power of the pen won't be fenced
The ink in my brain defends against the trends of
Worrying about what the future holds
Man forget what it holds and get a grip on the super soldier
That sold his robe for the cost of salvation
No patience. Come and see, don't wait man
It's more than faith and dignity restored
Its the greatest show man has received from the Lord
Of His blood flowing from the cross
Of his love flowing down to us
From a king it came from for everyone
For those in the dust, licking at their cuts
Who've had just about enough of the shrugs and the cuffs
For Christ's sake I write this stuff
Sometimes I get so frustrated
For how some companies must fake this
Stinking mask they put on they must hate it
This is who I am guess you know me now
Whether drama or the rules I am acting out
Whether social constructs or the flipping ground
Either way, 6 feet ain't enough to hold this man down
Imma rise above it, I'm alive and cutting
Through these wires around the governed
Like a knife through butter, chains off those who suffer
In the fire my blood will cover
