Breaking Point

Oh, pride won't let me escape
Smiling on my face
When love don't feel the same
Oh, how much can I take?
Drowning in my pain
Bending 'til I break

Watch me spin in cycles
In my dream, on my own
Spinning over windmills, running from sin
Think I left the key there, won't let me in
Worst case happens, cracks in the glass

Everyone's got a breaking point
Everyone's got a breaking point
Everyone's got a breaking point
Everyone's got a breaking point

Ooh, what do you think I am?
I'm not made of steel
You wouldn't know that feels to die
Death by thousand knives
I'm proud to be alive
After what we put us through

Watch me spin in cycles
In my dream, on my own
Spinning over windmills, running from sin
Think I left the key there, won't let me in
Worst case happens, cracks in the glass

Everyone's got a breaking point (dear, God)
Everyone's got a breaking point (bring me the power and the will)
Everyone's got a breaking point (every dream fulfilled)
Everyone's got a breaking point (we've all been here before)

It's the moment you seize your opportunity (seize your opportunity)
It is not ok to be unaware, because this is your moment, baby (this is your moment, baby)
You are proof beauty exists (beauty exists), and you are proof that God is real (God is so real)
While the guilt I felt for years was incessant and never ending, it was necessary
And all them salty tears, are now tears of joy (tears of joy)
Now I walk with that shadow of guilt behind me, a warrior in valor
A painter enamored by his broad strokes
A man moving with the accuracy and purpose of a hummingbird (hummingbird)
A man with the flow of the Nile that's a golden hue diverging into a pasture in Cairo (yeah)
This is a man that radiates in fear

When times is hard, we roll the dice
Rapid-fire, so precise
I was broken down before I spilled heart at open mics
I think I was only 12
Snatched them cookies, they were stale
Moms preserved my innocence from ducking cops, escaping jails (love you, ma)
Learned to dodge them bullets 'cause this life had its own share of scars
I could never swim without you, tides is turning, we evolve!

Breaking points, used to think I hate my voice, I'm glad I spoke it
Guilty of just loving you too much, but I can't fix what's broken
Agitated, do we change the change? I'm standing at the pulpit
Hand to God, I knew I was the one, they thought that I was joking
Didn't drive, what I kept inside would leak through my emotions
Five on five's, always played the block, although I should be coaching
Ashy skin, wished my granny rubbed my elbows with some lotion
Killed the vibe, can't extinguish fire, they'll sit on a ocean
