Castle of Lies
U know what they Told little old me?
For years they said I'd never be free
And to make matters worse I didn't deny instead I believed
Every word of deceit
All the acts of treachery
Any weapon forged against me
Formed with the intent to defeat
Did just that
Every time it would succeed
My heart was dark
My thoughts were dirty
Yet my fit was clean
Cap to Shirt down to the jeans
My kicks pristeen
Taught by the old heads
Whole hood knows me
Lil Danny V
Still how come nobody told me
Jesus didn't just come but He'd bleed
He hung for our wicked deeds
Took on every enemy
Every Ivan drago
Ultimately he died
Never threw in the towel
Like a thousand Apollo creeds
If I were to stand here and tell you about all the dirt that stained my soul
You'd be disgusted or judge me more than you're doing now or ever did before
So I guess it's best I don't
That's betweens me and my maker we stay real
U ever had life drop you down
U know how a haymaker feels?
I let him down a thousand times yet he took a shot on me like the Browns with Baker Mayfield
With these bars I stay ill
But if I don't stay real
Close to them scriptures and prayer well
It doesn't really matter what I do or say well
I could make bills
& Stay in the latest retail
But I know my soul's been bought at a price and it's never gonna be for resale
No spirit, or demon
Or even Satan
Could ever stop what the Great Conductor is orchestrating
Listen it's not all for Nathan
On This record I'm stating
The destruction and demise
Of this castle of lies
Let's return to the sacred
This isn't just hip hop
This is worship playing
Most music isn't but this is worth you u playing
I'm trying to let you know this is your worth we're debating
You're very purpose is blatant
The God of all creation
Influenced these words I'm saying
So that just maybe you would draw near
In a society that has no time for God
Except once or twice all year
See you think you just clicked on a song but I believe He called you here
And I don't need ice on my neck
When the message of this cross is crystal clear
So before you disappear
Can we take a moment to say a prayer?
For years they said I'd never be free
And to make matters worse I didn't deny instead I believed
Every word of deceit
All the acts of treachery
Any weapon forged against me
Formed with the intent to defeat
Did just that
Every time it would succeed
My heart was dark
My thoughts were dirty
Yet my fit was clean
Cap to Shirt down to the jeans
My kicks pristeen
Taught by the old heads
Whole hood knows me
