Kennedy Betts - Brave New Dawn
("Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" by P.M. Dawn instrumental)
Know that I’m a sinner but don’t wanna be a hypocrite
An inner lie is multiplied every time you’re telling it
Found my way on Twitter and remembered have to pivot and
Again I’m seeking Truth while I’m chilling with the misfits
They bunch of cartoons who are running in the race and
They’re not really cartoons cause I’ve seen a few faces
They’re really just baboons who enjoy throwing sh*t at each other
We’re no different than another
If you fighting with the Christ then I say you are my brother
I don’t care what f***ing color
But the race is pretty dark
Cause the gate is narrow and the path is hard
Got a cross on my back and a Sword in my heart
I don’t wanna wage war but I’m not at peace
Am I trying to impress or am I tryna be me
Am I stuck in the past or am I finally free
Am I actually relaxed or just running with the weed
Doing all these mental laps at extraordinary speeds
Going nowhere fast until I can face the beast in myself
It’s a cell, but I know I got the key
But every time I disobey it’s like I’m crucifying He
I’m a liar, I’m a killer, I’m a fraud, I’m a cheat
But I don’t want to admit it cause my pride is killing me
Cause my thoughts are dark, look at my mentality
How can I be Light when I’m so far underneath
Always wanna be right but I’m so afraid to be
Judged or Loved or anything in between
All I want is what’s Above but I’m not even the least deserving
Cause I wrestle with serpents, but still get bit
And now I understand why Adam and Eve hid
They gained knowledge of themselves
The reality of sin
Aware of their nakedness they were clothed with skin
And I’m just another man in this line of lineage
We’re all cursed from the first, but can overcome our sin
That’s the walk that I’m on, I’m tired of giving in
My body is so weak, but my spirit thirsts for Him
My body is so weak, but my spirit thirsts for Him
Nobody understands me so Iʼll put it all in pages
Theyʼll misinterpret anyway, and have throughout the ages
Cause people only see a reflection of what their cage is
And Iʼm not going back to mine, Iʼve been outside the matrix
Thereʼs a serpent that is lurking to devour all the caged in
The bars are made of fear and the floor is paved with hatred
Holds you down like gravity, itʼs a weight you always take with
But the cage is a cloud you can wipe away and make it
Disappear into the air, fade away like a vapor
Though the venom of the viper‘s a pretty powerful agent
But you only get infected if you choose to go and take it
Itʼs a liar in your mind, if you fear it, it will say it
Because it feeds off of you and what you choose to put your faith in
If itʼs fear you fuel the serpent, and solidify the caging
But if you see through the mist, youʼll find the stairs out of the basement
The judgement that you give is the same one that you are faced with
The mind is a mirror, you can only see your face and
the path into the Light is a path that requires patience
going through many phases on many different occasions
Learning from your mistakes, while learning just how to face em
This is my apocrypha, this is my affirmation
This is my exodus, this is my exclamation
This is my apocalypse, this is my affidavit
Of how to beat the darkness and overcome Satan
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God
I said
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God
