[Verse 1: Marcus Jordan]
I swim in the water, but drown in the truth
Hidden aggression let out in the booth
Taking these L's, and I turn them to lessons
And life is a present, today is a blessing
I'm praying to God, I know that He listens
He's been through it all, and He's knows my addictions
And I don't know why, keep them at a distance
The people I love, but there's no doubt, I miss them
Fixing these problems again and again
But I'm running away, and I hide and pretend
That things aren't happening, how can it be?
That something so tragic could happen to me
But there's no escape, so I battle these demons
No cape on my back, but I fight different evils
I'm blind to the truth, but my name not Knievel
I'm seeking approval from too many people
They say I won't make it
Is that guaranteed?
Doubting my mind, killing me behind scenes
Look in the mirror, don't like what I see
So I'm changing my attitude, take what I need
Ugh, sometimes I just live in the lie
Sometimes, it's easier just to get by
I get caught in the smoke, and sometimes I get high
What you seek on the surface is different inside
What you seek on the surface is different inside
Man in me telling me, fill it with pride
Running in circles, them days passin' by
What you seek on the surface is different inside
Man in me telling me, fill it with pride
Running in circles, them days passin' by

[Verse 2: Phillip the Zero]
I know what a chain feels like
To go to bed depressed, and wake up complainin'
I know what a shame feels like
To be so far gone that you can't come back
Or at least that's how you feel
They tell you, "Phil, you're just being emotional
Suck it up, be a man, it's what you're supposed to do"
Sittin' there praying like, "God, I don't feel that close to You!"
People greezy, I don't know who to trust
Catching' souls, and my Bible's catching dust
Throw up my [?], so I can feed my flesh
Now the smell of sin is giving me erections
God, I need protection!
Can't be beneath me to seek your release when the cycle is pride and defeat
You see too much and your tastebuds change
Never thought I'd get to the point where the gender no longer mattered
Or talking to men's a compulsive habit
You can't express it, I just suppress it
But what do you expect from the sensitive kid that they called a "faggot?"
For far too long, we was out on the wrong side of curses
But the Lord gives grace in these verses
So the person that's hurting can know that there's hope when they're ain't no escape

[Verse 3: Isaiah Velez]
You know what it's like?
To look in the mirror and hate what you CC
Sending a message, but they won't receive
Why would they listen if you don't believe?
Lately, this pen is my place of escape
A relief from the loneliness placed on my plate
And I wonder if God's playing games with my fate
All this sight got me losing my faith
You know what it's like?
To be told that you're special
And placed on a pedestal?
Don't feel enough to be standing up tall
So you jump into sin, tryna lighten the fall
I don't know if you know what I'm going through
Game of Life, but it feels like I'm 0-2
Masturbating to try to feel anything
Just a peasant that wishes he was a king
This a season
Where I'm bleeding
I've been begging
I've been pleading!
I just need an escape, feeling restless
But I give up my sleep to watch Netflix
Drinking heavy to drown what is deep in me
Watching porn and then crying to sleep, you see
I just need me an exit, that'd be a blessing
All these decisions, they lead me to death, man!
So I'm eyeing at Zion
Head to the Heavens
Walk as a freeman like Morgan in Seven
My hope is what God has got for me is better than anything under my reign, like the weather
I'm counting my joy
Fight through my mess
Faith strong as iron, no dragon on chest
And in moments I feel like I'm wanna escape
I'll remember that this is just part of the test
