By Bread Alone by The One Keon Lyrics
You could spend your whole life tryna get it up
Just to leave here empty handed, pockets full of dust
We been sold a lie
We been sold a lie
Life is more than my possessions
But we live life under the rule of them
Get fooled to be cool with them
Took a snooze in a pool but they pull you down
But we don't let go
Dont wanna say no
We think if we got it we good, spend a lifetime tryna stock pile it up
Truthfully would reject God for some grub
Following the pattern that was set, by the one that introduced mankind to death
In the beginning he came and slithered in, & sowed that temptation in heads
Deep in my mental, follow the fruit of God's pencil, or live by flesh?
We just invest, all our hardwork & our stress, into this stuff that won't last
Like chasing the past, it just gets further away
Living to erase the day
You cannot avoid the grave
Dont be slave to pay
There ain't enough wage pay the price he gave, when we turned Gods face
Man does not live by bread alone, but every word that the Lord says
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
You could spend your whole life tryna get it up, just to leave here empty handed pockets full of dust
Everything on earth gone fade
So why we out here tryna duck that fade
We traded God for a piece of pie, cause he took too much time to provide it our mind
Even though he created time
When were puffed up with pride we become blind
Dont listen to scriptures, rather flip paper at the strip club
Got this thang mixed up
Like a cocktail liquor
More concerned with the our bodies receivers
We chasing pleasure
Discard the measure, of he who holds the schedule
Like we know when clock out
Tickety tickety tickety tok
Like flowers we wither away
Like vapor in wind is our stay
You chasing that dirt to the grave
Cause all these things here go to waste
Cuz this world is dying
Dont you see the ground is crying
If you dont open up your eyelids
You gone see there's another pilot
In the cockpit right beside ya
And there's only two options of who it could be
Jesus Christ or the one that he defeated yeah
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
You could spend your whole life tryna get it up, just to leave here empty handed pockets full of yeah
Fully corrupted
Run deep into every function
Catering your unctions
Cadence of dysfunction
Constantly you running
Fiending like a junkie
Not for God, just for the things that he made. Dang
I hear the jangle from ya chains. Swang
He can break em, but the world can't
Do you really wanna see change?
Do you even know you need change?
What you know about the king who reigns?
What you know about him beating the grave?
What you about him freeing the slaves?
Keep it real Christ died for you
You dont decide what's true, but you should side with truth
The wisest route
See the light on you
And It'll show your roots
The evil nature of our hearts and what we chase after
When it ain't God it leads to disaster
Most won't notice that til after
See look
Turn away from creation
Go and worship the creator
He gave us love through the savior
Eternal life gave us favor
You can live for the truth or die for a lie
Jesus paid for your forgiveness
Died for every sinner
Put your faith up in him
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
By bread alone
You can get it up, it won't be enough
We day we all gone return to dust
Hope you chasing something that can not rust
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
We been sold a lie that stuff on earth can get us by
But why dont it leave wit us when we close our eyes and die
You could spend your whole life tryna get it up
Why don't it leave with us when we
Just to leave hear empty handed pockets full of dust
Why don't it leave with us when we die?
Just to leave here empty handed, pockets full of dust
We been sold a lie
We been sold a lie
Life is more than my possessions
But we live life under the rule of them
Get fooled to be cool with them
Took a snooze in a pool but they pull you down
