[Verse 1: Nick Brewer]
Hit me where it hurts
You’re poisoning my mind
See I don’t wanna live
Still I don’t wanna die
No I don’t wanna die
You’re messing with my mind
So I move paro
The enemies firing arrows
Hitting me deep not shallow
Changing my ways like channels
My mind’s telling me lies that I believe
I know I’m deceived I can’t see that though
Mum told me God’s bigger than my fears
I’m not sure I believe that though
Whoa
Really I want to
Nothing else I can hold on to
Wait lemme check my mindset
Coming like mic check 1-2
I’m scared to think
Scared that I ain’t prepared for this
Scared that I’ll miss what I’m here for
Worrying about all that I can’t change
Is this really it?
[Chorus: FAVELA]
Carve me into something good
Guarding at your gates but
I don’t want to be a statue
Breaking arrows fired my way
I’ll lay them like a carpet out to you
Carve me into something good
No I don’t want to be a statue
You’re levelling out my terrain
And you welcome me with your homecoming gates
[Post-Chorus: FAVELA]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2: Nick Brewer]
Have you ever felt like
Nothing ain’t felt right
Your whole world's crumbling down around you
And you can’t find no help sign
And no you can’t dial no helpline
Heart feels so heavy I pray that God might melt mine
And that sounds strange
But its something that I can’t downplay
See I’m just a kid from round the way
And now my whole life’s been changed
It’s only gonna hold me up on my down days
If I choose to believe that though
It’s proof that I need that so
Gotta move like I mean that whoa
You raised me up
So I know that I ain’t gotta be that low
[Chorus: FAVELA]
Carve me into something good
Guarding at your gates but
I don’t want to be a statue
Breaking arrows fired my way
I’ll lay them like a carpet out to you
Carve me into something good
No I don’t want to be a statue
You’re levelling out my terrain
And you welcome me with your homecoming gates
[Post-Chorus: FAVELA]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge: FAVELA]
I won’t be tamed
Nor claws be clipped
I stare resolute
In holy face
I shake off all dust
And bandages
All things will return
To aid my steps
[Breakdown: FAVELA & Nick Brewer]
I won’t be tamed
(Hit me where it hurts, you're poison in my mind)
(See I don't wanna live, still I don't wanna die)
I stare resolute in holy face
(No I don't wanna die)
(You're messing with my mind, messing with my mind)
I shake off all dust
(Hit me where it hurts, you're poison in my mind)
(See I don't wanna live, still I don't wanna die)
All things will return to aid my steps
(No I don't wanna die)
(You're messing with my mind, I don't wanna die)
[Outro: FAVELA]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
