Gave It Up
How they got me
Here tryna play their game
Of courting pain, then
Chasing after Novocain
Wanted freedom
They just sold us golden chains
Was drowning, now
My focus floating, bro
I overcame
Like in my lifetime
It don't add up just
To roll the dice, I'm
Dodging snake eyes
I'm in the sightline
And I fall, lawbreaker
But he fight crime
I got another shot
No running right back
I get tired with baggage
On my back
But sin's all in my vain
That intravenous fly trap
Like in arena's, I clap
But it's at me and my king
He don't miss a beat, bro I tap
Tap, tappin', tappin' let me
Tap out, cause I ain't got it
My debt can't be paid
Back with my wallet
Was acting out these lines
And I tried but felt relieved
When my character, he died
I gave it up
Gave it up to get it back
Open my hands, it's yours
Laid it down, you lift that
So we declare you, Lord
Lost it to find it
Gave it to gain it
Gave it up to get it back
I get it back
Could it be that I was chasing
After vapors, gassed up?
Now I'm thinking I was maybe
Backwards
Gave it up to get it back
I get it back
Oh, how they try to drag me back
Bait me with lies, pull me off track
I bid my past, Adieu
Each day I wave goodbye
Brand new, my life is you
Everything in my past
All that graveyard chasing
Bro, I'm thinking I'll pass
Now my grave's all vacant, bro
Even though i passed
The way i died to death
Now living life denied myself
To visit light now
Trip is like, huh
No more cold feet
Can't go back to old me
I know my soul's beat down
Don't wanna OD, huh
Give me liberty or just bury me so deep, huh
I don't wanna live in soul sleep
So I gave it up
Gave it up to get it back
Open my hands it's yours
Laid it down, you lift that
So we declare you Lord
Lost it to find it
Gave it to gain it
Gave it up to get it back
I get it back
Oh, how they ty to drag me back
Bait me with lies
Pull me off track
I bid my past Adieu
Each day I wave goodbye
Brand new, my life is you
Gave it up, to get it back
Open my hands, its yours
Laid it down, you lift that
So we declare you, Lord
Lost it, to find it
Gave it to gain it
Gave it up to get it back
I get it back
Here tryna play their game
Of courting pain, then
Chasing after Novocain
Wanted freedom
They just sold us golden chains
Was drowning, now
