Free From It All
Hook (Mathai):But should I fallI’m still free from it all
Verse 1 (Lecrae):Round of applause, I pause to take a photo opNone of it’s real; it's just PhotoshoppedCrop out my flaws then my failures, my aches and all my ailmentsNow I'm picture perfect, take all my dirt and conceal itReally, I no better than anyBut they pay me a pretty penny to sit and look prettyNot to big, not skinny, be whatever these fans demand of me‘Cause otherwise they probably wouldn't love meThe show goes on even after the curtains closeI smile and pose, put my signature on they clothesThey lift me up so high that I'm surely about to fallThe higher that I go the more unforgivin’ they areNo grace and no exceptions, all they want is perfectionThe man in the mirror can't even see his reflectionYou live for their acceptance, you die from their rejectionBut even if I fall, I fell in the right direction
Hook (Mathai):Cameras flash, the curtains call, the credits roll down the screenCritics laugh, they hate us all as they applaudBut should I fallI’m still free from it all
Verse 2 (Lecrae):Life is a cage, a prison of everyone's approvalFight for acceptance and struggle so you don't ever lose itBut livin’ for their acceptance has got us stressingInsecure people obsessed with leaving impressionsLadies spending time on their faces painting pretty linesTo you and me its make-up, but to her, it’s a disguiseYou look her in her eyes and see her soul cry‘Cause living for other people’s got her living a lieHadn’t slept in day, close his eyes and he praySomeone would miss him if he fell like a star out of spaceBut I'm sure they'll replace him, just a name and a faceThey say they love you, but it's easy to fall from their gracesLive for everyone else gotcha losin’ yourselfWhy be slave when made to be free from the guilt?To be free from the shame, you are more than a nameIf you go down you got the freedom to get up again
[Hook]
Bridge (Lecrae):Every moment is passing; just let ‘em goIn fifty years, man, who cares? We’ll be super oldMany winners will lose, many heroes will fallAnd if that’s me I’m still (free from it all)
[Hook]
