They Lie Lyrics by Erika (R&B)

Don’t Cry

2019

{Hook}
They tried to drain me of my energy
Tried to take a part of me, I couldn't breathe
Told me I was nothing, I would never be
Look at what they did, they tried to lie to me
All I got is God, I'm on a leap of faith
And I don't care what anybody say
Holy water washing over me
Opened up my eyes to the pretty things
{Chorus}
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
{Verse}
Straight up to my face like Drake said
Tell you that they love you but want to leave you dead
Praying on my downfall
Premeditated thoughts trying to set you up and all
Open up they eyes, Lord, let 'em see
Mind off the violence, onto newer things
R.I.P to Bullet B
And any soulja in the Cola got to lift up my city, man
They lie, we know, so just let 'em
Stay focused on the mission God got you headed
Keep in mind that this walk will really test your faith
So stay rooted in the Word and that a keep you straight
Let's be the realest that I ever wrote
And if they draining on ya energy, you gotta learn to let 'em go
Yeah, I know that they told you you'll never be
But God gave you purpose, so claim it, that's victory
Hook
They tried to drain me of my energy
Tried to take a part of me, I couldn't breathe
Told me I was nothing, I would never be
Look at what they did, they tried to lie to me
All I got is God, I'm on a leap of faith
And I don't care what anybody say
Holy water washing over me
Opened up my eyes to the pretty things
{Chorus]
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
{Bridge}
I bet they're tryna ride my wave now
Bet they wanna see me go down
Well I got something for my enemies
If they want it, they can come for me
They're steady running their mouth
We'll keep talking while I walk it out
I got something for the enemy
If they want it, they can come for me
{Hook}
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
They lie
