T r e e s by Kennedy Betts Lyrics
T r e e s [prod. BHC Beats]
Oh can’t you see
That you and me
Are just like trees
Ooohhh
Cause if a tree is
Sick or healthy
Depends on what it feeds
It starts in the roots
And then up the shoots
To produce leaves
Ooohhh
And then it bears fruit
Reflecting the truth
Of our heart beat
Ooohhh
There is nothing ever hidden
What’s dwelling inside your heart
Will always become an image
Fruit forms from what is in it
Bearing the same seed
That was planted in beginning
So what kind of fruit
Are you currently manifesting?
Hatred, lying, drunkenness
Envy, jealous, gossiping
Lustful, pride, and old grudges
Prevent you from blossoming
Profitless, the quarreling
The pain you keep on bottling
Running from your problems
Drags you to the bottom end
But before it manifests
Our fruit was in the stem
Growing through the shoots
By what we’ve experienced
Our pain and heart break
Time and time again
A dramatic play
Shakespearean with the pen
Internally we lack
As we chase after sin
We try to fill the void
Try to cure the emptiness
But the hole gets bigger
And bigger within our chest
Taking the authentic self
It buries him
We die on the inside
But pretend that we do live
We’re drowning in our minds
But pretend that we can swim
So are you alive
Or just dead as you pretend?
The mask that we wear’s
From an older period
It starts in the roots
So what happened as a kid?
When was the moment
You lost your innocence?
The younger the age
The more engrained within
The deeper the pain
And bigger the blockages
If you wanna find the end
Then go to where things began
If you wanna be the man
Then go and become a kid
If you really wanna live
Then go and feed the spirit
If you starve the darkness
Your heart will reach Heaven
Oh can’t you see
That you and me
Are just like trees
Ooohhh
Cause if a tree is
Sick or healthy
Depends on what it feeds
It starts in the roots
And then up the shoots
To produce leaves
Ooohhh
And then it bears fruit
Reflecting the truth
Of our heart beat
Ooohhh
So are you feeding your spirit?
Or are you feeding your flesh?
Are you getting Son’s Light
Or lost in darkness?
Drinking Living Water
Or sip a polluted mess?
Ascending into Heaven
Or continue to regress?
Your heart is like a garden
Get rid of the weeds and pests
If you keep feeding the darkness
The bigger weeds will get
Deeply rooted in your flesh
So stop giving nutrients
And then the chains will wither away and they will die
But if you feed the demons
They will grow and they will thrive
What’s inside you is alive
You can’t run and you can’t hide
But if darkness you deny
Then Light will begin to rise
If you fight with the Christ
Then your soul it will survive
Don't give up, endure
Persevere through the night
And see the Morning Star
Shining brilliantly bright
As children we were pure
But then we fell from the Light
Soul defiled by the world
Only one Way back to Life
If you wanna find the end
Then go to where things began
If you wanna be the man
Then go and become a kid
If you really wanna live
Then go and feed the spirit
If you starve the darkness
Your heart will reach Heaven
Your heart is like soil
And I'm sowing the Word
Planting many seeds
Multiple every verse
The shell starts to crack
When the Truth it is heard
Sprouting forth a plant
As Life begins to burst
It starts with the cotyledons
With time it becomes a tree when
Birds can rest in its branches
But the wolf we feed will win man
Oh can’t you see
That you and me
Are just like trees
Ooohhh
Cause if a tree is
Sick or healthy
Depends on what it feeds
Oh can’t you see
That you and me
Are just like trees
Ooohhh
Cause if a tree is
Sick or healthy
