The Healing by Eppic Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2019

CHORUS
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from death to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing

VERSE
We've got to put an end to this
Do you need more evidence?
It's evident
We've been looking for a cure, but taking the wrong medicine
Now this isn't up for debate
When it comes to sex and slaves
Racism, drugs and rape
Has got us all living like inmates
Where do we go when the buzz wears off and the pills stop working
To the point that we can't function?
Caught up in a broken cycle
Frozen in motion
And we're roaming like rodents
Just looking for something to get our hands that we abuse the most sacred moments
CHORUS
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from lust to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing

VERSE
Before things get better, they got to get worse
We hate putting in the real work
Get 5 weeks in and abort the birth
Surprise, surprise
We televise another celebrity's suicide
We glorify the dark and troubled minds
Death and violence
Driven by vices
Leaving us blinded
We're following the misguided
This is culture's climate
The crisis started with us, we got people up in arms
When it comes to falling short, we're all guilty as charged

CHORUS
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from greed to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from pain to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing

VERSE
Down to the core we're at war
Kids forced to produce porn
Selling their bodies once more
We either consume or ignore
Good lord, what have we exalted?
Keep going like this we will self-destruct
Is anybody else exhausted?
Another girl gone missing
Another mass killing
And a man shot down for their complexion
With no conviction
It's been in the nature since Adam and Eve
It's the human condition
Seven billion men, women, children all in need of redemption

CHORUS
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from hate to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing
We've been fighting, fighting so long
How much longer is this gonna go on?
Lord we're desperate for your healing from death to envy
Waiting on freedom's ring
We need your healing
