[ Featuring Gerald Green ]
You keep askin' the light to show,
But you don't sit still long enough to see it glow.
Say you want peace,
But war been livin' in your breath so long,
You call it home.
You talk about love like it's somethin' owed-
Like the world didn't already hand you
A version of it with conditions wrapped in gold.
⸻
How you feed the fire is how it burns you,
If you build with lies, they gon' learn you.
You can preach truth and still not walk it,
Be still long enough to hear what your soul been talkin'.
⸻
I've watched people pray for clarity
Then run the moment it came.
Watched hearts bury themselves in ego
And call it strength.
You dress your wounds in rhythm,
But don't confuse a melody for healing.
Truth ain't in the echo-
It's in the silence that follows.
⸻
How you feed the fire is how it burns you,
If you build with pain, it returns to you.
You can chase God and still be distant,
Love don't grow in spaces where you stay resistant.
⸻
Don't light nothin' you ain't ready to hold.
Don't say nothin' your spirit didn't approve.
'Cause once you see yourself clearly,
There's no goin' back to the version they used.
