Lyrics The First - NotMyWill

Yeah we started on a journey
Had to walk a path of learning
Had to earn everything we wrote
Watched a lot of videos
And we took a lot of notes
Yeah forced to go slow we couldn't lope
It all started when we heard a fire EP
Wrote a whole song tryna fight the fury
Had to throw it out cause we lacked the theory
Making music like medicine that lacks the curing
Had to wait till we had the skill it takes every
Great thing comes to those who wait worked on
Intake so that we could innovate tryna brake way
From the shame do we have what I takes are we
Late to the game if so that's ok
Run away yeah run away late cause we worked on our faith
Don't know what it takes no debate
But we ready anyway and we pray day by day
Had the audacity to think it be free
Pretty weak our previous belief we
Thought we knew it all but
We didn't know anything
Pretty idiot thinking wouldn't you agree
We need the money so that we can sing
Need to know that we can do this seriously
The best way to show we mean it is to just do it
We don't need no charity we have God so we have everything
Don't you see we have everything we need
No defeat only enemy we have is we
If we need to eat then we make a fire beat
Throw on all our own meat than we feast
Yeah
Quarantine was a blessing in disguise
Use the time to build a studio and learn
To use it right yeah
Start to learn to mix
Try to make it fit
If it didn't fit then we'd start again

We've been working day and night underground
Been assertive tryna find our common ground
Living different lives but they're pretty intertwined
Tryna find the time to find the rhyme
Do you mind
Step aside
We been waiting for this our entire lives
So now its finally time for us to rise and
Revolutions never die
Institutions won't survive
Religion is a lie
We will never cuss to rhyme look
I have anxiety
I'm way outside of things
The public eyes on rioting
While I am making rhymes like I am writing in a diary
They can't decipher me
They won't decide for me yeah
Saying that you're right doesn't mean you are entirely
Don't say you wanna give advice then
Force me to compliancy
We're gonna do this on our own accord
Whether or not we have your support
We like ideas but don't try to force yours
Don't try to force yours
Or you'll end up out the door
Don't endorse to say you did the work
And you deserve more of the credit
We won't be your resource
Anybody in the vicinity witnessing a
Disappearing of people living innocently
It's sickening to see divinity dwindling yeah
Culture wishing they weren't critically crippling
Nobody's listening or interested in the quickening
Ending of our society's viability
The trinity it could be your stability
Has so much capability
But it doesn't mean
Life isn't hard it can still be a pain
Like I'm playing hot potato with a hand grenade
My buddy here is twenty and still doesn't have a date but
Maybe it's cause great things come to people who will wait

I gotta work hard to relax
Yeah my stress got me held back
If I open up then I might crack
That be bad that be bad
I wanna dig a bit in my past
But I'm kinda scared that you might laugh
Damaging that could result in relapse
Won't open up to those I lack
Trust for if you don't have it than your out the door
If you try prying open my mind stop that's violating
I don't have time to fend off fights Its way to tiring
If you pry I will push you out if you change your mind ha
Kinda late now your waiting in the lounge
I try minimizing all the damage all around
My life was a mess maybe I should go to ground
I like having friends and family all around
But I don't like when people start to
Weigh me down
Hello introduction to the inner me
Struggle with attacks from the enemy
I try to hold on but the grip is eluding me
So now I'm clinging to the music like it's ketamine
I don't like stress but my dream has a lot of it
I'm not impressed by pull of the intoxicant
I wanna do my best but I feel I'm not on top of it
I gotta clean my mess if I'm gonna profit
I need money but I don't want it to take me hostage
Free running yeah I'm jumping to the
Nearest object
Flow was getting hot and we almost hopped of it
Now we going off like the crowd in a mosh pit
If the last will be first than you know we gonna last
If we decide to push than you know we'll push past
Yeah this is just the first
You know we'll be back
We are looking to the future but
Remember our past

(You let me down let me down let me down let me down)
(I tried I tried I tried)
(You let me down let me down let me down let me down)
(I tried I tried I tried)
(You let me down let me down let me down let me down)
(I tried I tried I tried)
(You let me down let me down let me down let me down)
(I tried I tried I tried)
I knocked and knocked you answered me
Promised promised you'd set me free
I've never chosen this wrongly
All you've brought is pain and grief
Since a kid you made me feel so small
You broke my legs so I had to crawl
But a hand caught me in the middle of my fall
On God's shoulders oh now I feel so tall
(Instrumental)
Look at them they hate us
It's a fake love
They don't phase us
He's above the very things that daze us
Not a trace of weakness in his presence
We the embrace of truth
Written down on his paper yeah
Read the Bible it might date us
We consume things that are laced up
With Satan
When the day comes yeah
They may run yeah
Try to face us
Gods army is invasive
