Verse 1
Felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders
So he tried to take it off, and put it in his heart, but it was hurtin,
Too torn, too broken,
too wounded, spirit not workin,
And how could he go back now
He knew that he had already let too many people down,
& yea he ain't wanted to leave
but he ain't know a way out,
and he was tired of stumblin,
while they laughed out loud,
See he was a church boy,
and he had always told his lil friends,
how they all needed to become Christians,
But they wasn't listen,
of course they heard him,
But the way he was livin,
always spoke much further,
See he used to sing in the choir,
about a fire he had never acquired,
And so they labeled him a hypocrite, a liar
Wore his faith like he was wearin a wire,
And yea he tried to explain, how he ain't wanna be that way,
But they was all in his face yellin "you are a fake!
Give us one reason why we should be saved"
oh how he wish he was the one, the one
Chorus
I'm breaking from the masquerade
I'm changing my ways
No never gonna back down
I'm not crying out wolf
Verse 2
Now he realize he gotta make a couple changes
Try somethin a lil different
maybe reach out to some strangers,
people who don't know him
where he come from, where he goin,
people he assumed wouldn't judge him, wouldn't scold him
But they could see his fear like a deer in headlights,
Somebody said, "Its like he's preachin for his dear life,
Yea you goin a lil hard wit your advances.
You talkin like you the one wit zero more chances."
He like, "I hate all of y'all, none of y'all understand me
I wish you was all dead,"
didn't say it, but he thought it in his head
Someone said, "I would listen if you was Christian but how a believer goin smell like reefer"
and now he's screamin, he like "that ain't me!
I put my mama on that!"
His spirit is angry, his eyes is raging,
the people stood back and just watched in amazement,
Fell to his knees, tears started rainin
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
See he had tried his best to give it his all, Jesus t-shirts to church but never to the mall
Flesh didn't like what the spirit had to say Double minded man unstable in all his ways
But now he's free he know the Father redeemed him
But because of his past he think they won't believe him,
feels no purpose like shades when the moon's out, but no more cryin, like moon's out
Vamp
I won't run anymore
too high a price You paid all
No never gonna back down
I'm not crying out wolf...
