[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
How they got me out 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, like)
Like, in my lifetime
It don't add up just to roll the dice, I'm
Dodging snake eyes, I'm in they 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 veins, that intravenous flytrap
Like in arenas, 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

[Chorus: Desi Raines]
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
[Verse 2: Trip Lee]
Could it be that I was chasing after vapors, gassed up?
Now I'm thinking I was maybe backwards
I realized that I lied to me, now it's looking odd to me
Why not just ignore facades when they nod to me?
Hold up, did I really mean it when I said that?
I would follow hard, now I'm freezing where my legs at
Scared to let go, what felt safe was really danger
I made a mess though, then went up levels by forsaking
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

[Chorus: Desi Raines]
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
[Bridge: Desi Raines]
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

[Chorus: Desi Raines]
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
