Money, sex, drugs


God gave me a stern intervention
Now I'm on the verge of redemption
But it's hard to let the past go
When the past is always the first thing mentioned
Will the birds still chirp if the sun don't rise?
Will the plants all die if the sun don't shine?
How can we see but we run 'round blind? I'm just askin'
And I know in my heart of heart's that if rap don't work I'll be back to trappin'
I pray that I fall while them rats are laughin'
I've done seen violence, masters passion
Let me tell you what we believe
Told a lot of lies don't speak to me
Time to tell the truth, I've increased the need
I guess it's time to let go of the beast in me
I'll be the first to admit, I built a motherfuckin' house of lies
But I burned it up and stood by that bitch with a gasoline can
I doused the fire
But I still got burned, and tables still got turned
I had to lick my wounds so know my scars are ones I've earned

They said the truth will set you free
It's what the preacher man said to me
They said the truth will set you freeIt's what the preacher man said to me

[Struggle Jennings:]
Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies
Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies

The brightest light that I see tonight
Still shinin' bright from that burnin' bridge
That I made it off of, made it out
But I still doubt that I can stay away
Love the flame that we set ablaze
We dance around it and we celebrate
'Til someone die then it resonate
And we point the fingers, wanna place the blame
We speculatin', incriminatin'
Leave someone life behind a prison gate, I was filled with hate
There's no hunger like a starvin' artist, my kids relate
I was stayin' broke, tryna pay my dues
When it's said and done all the winners lose
Been a lonely path that us sinners choose
Said it's first or last, either win or lose
Life's a garden, better throw your seeds
Grow some trees, better kill the weeds
'Fore they kill your garden
'Cause the hardest part was lettin' go of all of my broken dreams
Got plenty stains still on my soul
Like the blood stains of my wardrobe
My horoscope said long journey
But a short road only Lord knows

They said the truth will set you free
It's what the preacher man said to me
They said the truth will set you free
It's what the preacher man said to me

Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies
Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies

They said the truth will set you free
It's what the preacher man said to me
They said the truth will set you free
It's what the preacher man said to me

Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies
Money, sex, drugs what we like to idolize
Livin' for the things that'll kill you, suicide
Holdin' onto secrets in your life, eat you alive
Live inside your truth, or you gonna die inside your lies
