Let Me Escape

I'm just a runaway
 Trying to make a way
 Guarantee I'll make it, MJ with a fadeaway
 I'm with Mike and a bottle of Gatorade
 I might as well say something, but I got nothing to say today
 I write poems, and you listen, then they fade away
 I wonder if you even hear the words I say
 I've emptied my soul to you, page after page
 You've seen the ups, the downs, and you've witnessed the rage
 You come for my family, monster comes out to play
 'Cause a whole lotta people use the Word to get paid
 Others use it to see revival, to see people get saved
 We'll all know who's who someday after the grave
 Heaven will be missin' a whole lotta names
 'Cause a checkmark and a pulpit doesn't mean that you're saved
 Say it louder, I think that they're onto me
 Just got honored by my college, but I hated school, honestly
 I realized I can do anything because the God in me
 So bring on the giants, Goliaths, and tyrants
 One word from my God, and they all just fall silent
 Wars, rumors, protests, riots, and looting
 Look around man, come on, what are we doing?
 Ayy, traded faith, I put trust in myself
 Put my eyes on the problem, that's how I fell
 Now I'm hurtin' inside, I'm not well
 Feel like I'm sinking in sand, crying for help
 Oh, God, I'm sorry for not listening to You
 Oh, God, I did the thing I said I wouldn't do
 Oh, God, how can I make it back up to You?
 Oh, God, can we get back to where it's just me and You?
 Yeah
 I've been high on the mountain
 I've fallen on my face, yeah
 Took a drink from the fountain, look
 Lord knows I've made mistakes
 Let me escape
 To Your embrace
 Take me higher than this place, yeah
 Let me escape
 To Your embrace
 Take me higher than this place, yeah
