Chains - Kieran The Light

Kieran the Light

[Intro]

Tell me why, tell me why

Oh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]

It's levels to this

It's God's plan, but the devil won't let me execute it

I can hear him in my ear tellin' me I won't ever do this

Looked in the mirror, had to tell myself I'm never losin'

Let go of the past, 'cause when I'm looking back I pay for that

Stopped being selfish, everything He gave, I gave it back

No more consequences, I done had my taste of that

So much guilt, I felt it in my rear, like baby back

I prayed on that

I think they wanna see my demise, they laughing in my face

So much disaster in my life, I can't evacuate

Teachin' me patience, so either way I'm gon' have to wait

How come this lesson take so long when I'm gon' graduate?

I see so many rainy days, I value seeing sunlight

Financial issues, can't worry 'bout what my funds like

I need my purpose to balance out with my love life

Can't let mistakes that I'm makin' affect my son's life

[Interlude]

That I rise above in a plane

And part of that risin' above is me elevatin' myself to a higher dimension

And the plane that I was operating in

God don't want me there no more

He wants me to take it up a notch

[Verse 2]

I gotta take it up a notch, I'm too comfortable in my spot

They be waitin' like the cops for this music, I gotta drop

Feel like I'm close to the top, I get distracted, I'm gon' flop

If I'm not humble, it's gon' stop, I give thanks when they give me props

I say it's God-written, don't take no credit at all

For the reason I been spittin'

Been doin' this for over ten years, and I think they finally listen

'Cause it wasn't moving at all, 'till the day that I committed

Until I repented

Every time I let my anger ride, I feel conviction

Them demons on the prowl, I moved 'em out, that's an eviction

I often can't control my lust, would you call that addiction?

'Cause when I fall into it I no longer see the vision

I be so blind when I'm in sin that I can't see myself

I feel like God believe in me, but I still need some help

Locked in them chains, I can't explain all of the things I felt

The only way to break these chains is if I free myself

[Outro]

That's where we get in trouble, right?

Is when we operate in the flesh

And we lookin' to satisfy that need for adulation or anger, or whatever it may be

I can't get pulled into that
