Authenticity

Authenticity often costs me
Authenticity
Oh whoa

I sometimes jeopardize
God’s best for whats good
Isolate to see if I really should
But I don't wanna be
Patient no more
Feel like I'm in
An endless war
So I’ll
Count on Him, He’ll fight my battles
Yeah Yeah
Cuz I can't control the things that I dont
Stranger to myself no I won't
I want
Authenticity

Authenticity often costs me
Authenticity
Oh whoa

Disillusion all my thinking
But how do I keep my beliefs
When I compare on the daily
All these games just ain't for me

Dont need none of your judgment
Worries that you have mean nothing
Im not here to problem-solve
Caution signs, can't get involved
Im just here to be a vessel
This clergy had to put it on
Imma tell you what it feels like
Authenticity

Surrender my agenda
What happened when I thought of me as who I am
And it couldn't be enough
Isolated, disappointed, frustrated, angry
But He made me
Said Im wonderfully made
Hold up

Uh
They got something to say talking like politicians
Just hit my mid-thirties running out of missions
Take a look at the church were running out of Christians
Im running out of faith but at least there's a difference
They say if you got to get it then get it yourself
Everynight I close my eyes and envision the wealth
Then I opened them to see that it was always me
Standing between who I am and what I'm supposed to be
Crash that mirror broke
Just give me another seven
Man It feels like transgression is all Im supposed to know
Thats where I'm supposed to grow
And ignorance is bliss
Stealing poison to overshadow the antidote
Shout out to the goat
Who is also a lamb
Cuz I know that He know its hard being a man
I ain't weak, I just thought it cuz I meant it
Then I said it cuz im tryna be authentic

Authenticity doesn't cost me
Authenticity
Oh whoa
Authenticity doesn't cost me
Authenticity
Oh whoa
