[intro]
hush now boy dont try to make a sound
everybody’s sleeping fast in the slow town
you can run fast but the lost will be found
so hit your knees to ground or get’em broken and bow to the crown

[verse 1]
i was in prison until i came out
the key to my cell was a dose of doubt
that maybe my faith had created a cloud
in my judgement of witnesses that surround

in denial like moses and i was devout
drinking from dry rivers in a drought
planting seeds in a piece of land never plowed
by the hands that were preaching high on the mount

anyone different they could not allow
illusions of unity in a crowd
to please the creator you must not arouse
any thoughts of leaving your abusive spouse

i walked down the narrow and i ran the routes
of every aisle in the holy house
and i ate the bread and i drank the ounce
watching babies be baptized while others were drowned
(drowned, drowned)

[chorus]
and i’m tired, of feeling small
while you stand tall
i won’t take the fall
when you’re not above it all

[verse 2]
i cannot keep it low key
i gotta hit’em with the choir high c
you can produce the fruit and try to prune the vine
but there will still be blood on the leaves

and i’m tired of these
sparrows and arrows y’all tattooing on your sleeve
the hipster hypocrisy
of pharaohs pretending they ain’t white pharisees

but hold up, let me interview the women (women women)
cuz the men keep trippin (trippin trippin)
and the church don’t listen
spike the mic like you don’t need their permission

they want us all hidden, you think that i’m kidding
then look at who sipping, and who in the kitchen
they thought i was timid, but now that i’m livid
they say that i’m sinning, while they are forgiven

god d-mn, prolly finna go to h-ll anyway
so i’ll spell it out if you living in the usa
look at who they turn away, look at who they underpay
no one being led astray, we just trying to walk away

[chorus]
and i’m tired, of feeling small
while you stand tall
i won’t take the fall
when you’re not above it all

[verse 3]
we were sold and told that we’re headed to h-ll
our bodies are broken, are souls are for sale
a ticket to heaven if you want to dwell
in eternity vocally you must expel

all of your thoughts, all of your dreams
all of your plots, low self esteem
is what they had taught, we were just caught
up in what we had bought and had not

a treasure in heaven, you’re made in his image
a life that is better, he said that it’s finished
just kidding your trash, he made you from ash
and all of your righteous acts are filthy rags

please, your logic is lost
in the sauce, with your eyes glossed
staring at the cross
they sold me the lie of my life by starting with what it cost

they said that we’re flawed, just obey the law
if we dont know happiness we don’t know god
they painting so broad, and yet they applaud
when preachers and priests confess they are frauds
(frauds, frauds)

[chorus]
and i’m tired, of feeling small
while you stand tall
i won’t take the fall
when you’re not above it all

and i’m tired, of feeling small
while you stand tall
i won’t take the fall
when you’re not above it all

when you’re not above it all
when you’re not above it all
when you’re not above it all
when you’re not above it all
