What Lies Beneath

[Chorus: Mel]
Being deceived by the father of lies
Doing things slowly losing your life
First it was water, it'll be fire next time
But it's your life, but it's your life

[Verse 1: Theory Hazit]
Dear God, Lord, forgive us for following ways of Satan
Knowing he's the father of lies and imitation
Deception got us sightless like when the pepper spray the eye
While we sell our souls, he fronts like he's saving lives
And only time we pray to You is when we facing odds
And even then, it's all bad 'cause we blaming You
We fall short of your glory, our cultures, our family
We even lie to ourselves, we try to fake it true
Empty and afraid, we aim to fix it by covering up mistakes
And take it to the grave, lost in our own song looking for the hook
Let the cross be the bridge, it's your life that you gave
Playing with fire like hell is a game
All people from all religions will be yelling your name
With they last breath, fully aware but they half-step
We dare devils and become blind like Ben Affleck
We should be past that though

[Hook: Mel]
Being deceived by the father of lies
Doing things slowly losing your life
First it was water, it'll be fire next time
But it's your life, but it's your life

[Verse 2: Theory Hazit]
Sometimes I hear voices in my head, they keep calling me
My mind plays tricks, daily I feel like trouble follows me
Watching what I'm tweetin', is it God or is it demons?
I'm caught between cops and fiends, gunshots and scenes
Of my own team plottin' and schemin'
It's like I'm on Elm Street and Freddie caught me street dreamin'
Tryin' to sleep away the evil, my reality's illegal transactions
Trespassin', Bill Paxton, veil over my eyes
Man these crack sales are produced by [?] most black males
Low self-esteem make me selfish, full of greed
As the devil succeeds by embellishing the [?]
Repeatedly falling for traps, intrigued by the hustle
I see through the struggle but fail as I'm seeking rebuttal
Now counting my blessings, I have my share of losses
I see the devil from miles away when he's walking
Carrying double crosses

[Hook: Mel]
Being deceived by the father of lies
Doing things slowly losing your life
First it was water, it'll be fire next time
But it's your life, but it's your life
