Chains Lyrics by Kieran the Light

Selfless

2021

[Intro]
Tell me why, tell me why
Oh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
It's levels to this
It's God's plan, but the devil won't let me execute it
I can hear him in my ear tellin' me I won't ever do this
Looked in the mirror, had to tell myself I'm never losin'
Let go of the past, 'cause when I'm looking back I pay for that
Stopped being selfish, everything He gave, I gave it back
No more consequences, I done had my taste of that
So much guilt, I felt it in my rear, like baby back
I prayed on that
I think they wanna see my demise, they laughing in my face
So much disaster in my life, I can't evacuate
Teachin' me patience, so either way I'm gon' have to wait
How come this lesson take so long when I'm gon' graduate?
I see so many rainy days, I value seeing sunlight
Financial issues, can't worry 'bout what my funds like
I need my purpose to balance out with my love life
Can't let mistakes that I'm makin' affect my son's life

[Interlude]
That I rise above in a plane
And part of that risin' above is me elevatin' myself to a higher dimension
And the plane that I was operating in
God don't want me there no more
He wants me to take it up a notch

[Verse 2]
I gotta take it up a notch, I'm too comfortable in my spot
They be waitin' like the cops for this music, I gotta drop
Feel like I'm close to the top, I get distracted, I'm gon' flop
If I'm not humble, it's gon' stop, I give thanks when they give me props
I say it's God-written, don't take no credit at all
For the reason I been spittin'
Been doin' this for over ten years, and I think they finally listen
'Cause it wasn't moving at all, 'till the day that I committed
Until I repented
Every time I let my anger ride, I feel conviction
Them demons on the prowl, I moved 'em out, that's an eviction
I often can't control my lust, would you call that addiction?
'Cause when I fall into it I no longer see the vision
I be so blind when I'm in sin that I can't see myself
I feel like God believe in me, but I still need some help
Locked in them chains, I can't explain all of the things I felt
The only way to break these chains is if I free myself

[Outro]
That's where we get in trouble, right?
Is when we operate in the flesh
And we lookin' to satisfy that need for adulation or anger, or whatever it may be
I can't get pulled into that
