What Lies Beneath

Lyrics

[Chorus: Mel] Being deceived by the father of lies Doing things slowly losing your life First it was water, it'll be fire next time But it's your life, but it's your life [Verse 1: Theory Hazit] Dear God, Lord, forgive us for following ways of Satan Knowing he's the father of lies and imitation Deception got us sightless like when the pepper spray the eye While we sell our souls, he fronts like he's saving lives And only time we pray to You is when we facing odds And even then, it's all bad 'cause we blaming You We fall short of your glory, our cultures, our family We even lie to ourselves, we try to fake it true Empty and afraid, we aim to fix it by covering up mistakes And take it to the grave, lost in our own song looking for the hook Let the cross be the bridge, it's your life that you gave Playing with fire like hell is a game All people from all religions will be yelling your name With they last breath, fully aware but they half-step We dare devils and become blind like Ben Affleck We should be past that though [Hook: Mel] Being deceived by the father of lies Doing things slowly losing your life First it was water, it'll be fire next time But it's your life, but it's your life [Verse 2: Theory Hazit] Sometimes I hear voices in my head, they keep calling me My mind plays tricks, daily I feel like trouble follows me Watching what I'm tweetin', is it God or is it demons? I'm caught between cops and fiends, gunshots and scenes Of my own team plottin' and schemin' It's like I'm on Elm Street and Freddie caught me street dreamin' Tryin' to sleep away the evil, my reality's illegal transactions Trespassin', Bill Paxton, veil over my eyes Man these crack sales are produced by [?] most black males Low self-esteem make me selfish, full of greed As the devil succeeds by embellishing the [?] Repeatedly falling for traps, intrigued by the hustle I see through the struggle but fail as I'm seeking rebuttal Now counting my blessings, I have my share of losses I see the devil from miles away when he's walking Carrying double crosses [Hook: Mel] Being deceived by the father of lies Doing things slowly losing your life First it was water, it'll be fire next time But it's your life, but it's your life
