lyrics
Verse 1 (Freddy):
The days that I truly cherish, in a baby carriage/
Careless of the troubles garnered when vile men and money marriage/
Hairless, without a care for what I’m wearing/
Fearing, facing only what’s been programmed in my inner hearing/
Ignorance is bliss, and this, I will only come to notice/
Soon after my inner self comes into focus/
The world is full of hatred, and I hate it to be faced with/
This feeling that my life’s been put in lamens, I’m craving for attention/
I’m flirting with perfection for affection but the stench of compromise/
Means this sentence needs correction/
Forget the masses man, I’d rather have my music in school classes/
To be truly appreciated for the message presented/
And the chances that my stanzas could finally have some sort of understanding/
But for now the status quo is where we’re standing/
Should be content I guess simple concepts/
Are much easier to digest, but it just so happens…
Chorus:
I’m hard pressed on every side but I’m not crushed/
Perplexed yet I’m not in despair/
Purpose burning I can feel it when my heart pumps/
All I know it’s more than worth the wear and tear/
Oh giving in is simple/
“Give it in!” Oh giving in is simple/
“Give it in!” Oh giving in is simple/
“Give it in!” though giving in is simple, I am not that simple
Verse 2 (Tony):
How simple it should be but sometimes the simple things/
Aren’t as simple as they seem, can’t write this simply/
Cause though simplicity sells, this ain’t for simply wealth/
This is for the Risen King, may His gift to me swell/
But I could simply fail, it’s simple to fail/
Just simply exhale everything that I’ve learned/
And quickly inhale everything in this world/
Be every being in this world/
It’d be easy to blend in, it’s not easy to mend fences/
Hence I’ll just be a reflection and stop reflecting the methods/
Of the One who resurrected/
The One who resurrected was detested by His own invention!/
Where’s my sense if the general consensus contests Him?/
How can I contend against them?/
Contend. I sense this presence. I can’t be senseless/
Take up my cross, defend it…
Chorus
Spoken Word (Freddy):
It begins simply, begins with One/
From birth to a death, life's hard then it’s done/
But in the middle, truth happens, lives change, life's sung/
Eyes opened, hearts strummed, like air in our lungs/
But decisions, decisions, some are like prescriptions/
To a hurting while others like descriptions to the condition/
Side effects, simply put, lose the stress/
You’re not simple but the truth is, reflect the perfect/
Spoken Word (Tony):
See, Gold there is and rubies in abundance
But lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel
Yet we dig… and we dig… and we dig through the excess
We dig the excess and give it access
To dig a hole in our heart… hoping wholeness will start
To develop within… but for wholeness we’re starved
See fulfillment isn’t a product of the stuff that we fill with
But to fulfill the full will of the One who has willed it
Chorus 2X
