Emancipation by T. Sam Lyrics
{Chorus 1]
My feet keep falling off the path of peace
Silently suffering through slavery
My spirit calling, Yahweh set me free
Emancipation proclaim victory (tell it straight, now)
[Verse 1]
Running lyrics back, listening to the songs I've done
Why so serious? You know you can just write for fun (I don't know)
I'm just learning, I don't like it, write another one
I ain't really stressing 'cause It was just a practice run (practice run)
That's the way that I tried doing this when I begun, but
Trouble in my times were tryna take my life or something (woah)
Shaking evil off me, trying, but I'm barely coping
Right now I write it down and try not to bust my head open
Fricking problems
Imprisoned by my conscience
Christians talk about their hills and valleys, I been climbing mountains
Thoughts depicting all my fears
Anxious, feeling them so near
I was praying God would hear, daily, nightly I would call Him
Times like this, friends supposed to build each other up (am I right?)
They see it in my eyes but never hit my number up (hol'up now)
Life'll bruise and bump, but I'm just looking for love
Settling for ninety-nine, looking for the one (looking for the one)
[Chorus 1]
My feet keep falling off the path of peace
Silently suffering through slavery
My spirit calling, Yahweh set me free
Emancipation proclaim victory
[Bridge 1]
Fighting demons, tryna flee, I'm waiting for the day
Movies in my head, I'm praying God'll ease the pain
Cry within myself because I'm wondering "Is He fake?"
Read the Scriptures, yeah they livin', when are they gon' leave the page?
Wreck my brain, give up my joy and I'm just slowly dying
Bang my head against the wall because the devil's lying
Abuse myself and screaming "IT AIN'T WORKING, GOD I'M TRYING!
I lost my peace in all this mess, and LORD I'M TRYING TO FIND IT!"
[Verse 2]
Think about the God in life, redirect your focus
God ain't no genie in a bottle, ain't no hocus-pocus
Attacked by swarms of locusts, God tryna make my strength more potent
While I curse at my loving Father, calling myself hoping
I been suffering, tryna think on what my mama told me
God said "If you gon hear My voice, then you should get to know Me"
Well Jesus, here I am again, the same stuff that I've told You
Over and over, and over, and over, and over
Bring it down a notch, remember who you're talking to
He's not gon answer to ya frantic yelling, hoopdey-doo
I shut up and listen, God'll tell me what I need to do
Keep my heart sweeter than a skittle on a sweeter tooth
The peace of God that passes all understanding
The truth of God and purity is what I choose to stand in (alright)
God ain't a man that He should lie, sin, or abandon (come on)
So I give Him the cannon
And He let Jesus man it
Jesus paid a ton for my sin, like manning (yeah)
Foot to balls on demons, strongholds no longer standing (okay okay okay!)
Tryna see what John could say, creep round that book like panthers
Heir unto the Kingdom, from a super bowl I'm drankin
You insane if you think Imma bolt at your actions (huuh)
Blaspheming in HD, looking for reactions (huuh
Making mountains out of mole hills I saw in passing (huuh)
But now you in a casket
And I'm just laughing
Everything the devil stole, God done gave it back
I wore myself out, tryna fight my own battles (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Jeremiah said He made existence by His strong Hand
God said He could take it
So I'mma let Him have it
God done made me free
Emancipated me (uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh)
Joy you can't take from me
And I'm elated, g (uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh)
I got true liberty
No-one enslaving me
My hope is in my Jesus
And so to Him I sing (woo)
[Bridge 2]
Jesus, the Lord of my soul
You're the rock under my sole
Life keep moving and we roll
You, Lord are the giver of new life, so
Chase you, penetrate deep my soul
Fruit of the tree that you've sewn
Take my pen, I'll say say "he wrote"
You, I depend, you're my hero
[Chorus 2]
Take this offering from a man of greed (from a man of greed)
Forgive my sinfulness and make me clean (make me free, yeah)
Yahweh restore me, save my sanity
Father remind me that you still love me
Your presence, make me know that you are there (make me know you're there, yeah)
My strength floods through me as I breathe your air (I wanna breathe your air, yeah)
My heart is grateful, I have been set free
Emancipation proclaim victory
My feet keep falling off the path of peace
Silently suffering through slavery
My spirit calling, Yahweh set me free
Emancipation proclaim victory (tell it straight, now)
