Broken Me ft. Mike Burns Lyrics

Many boast of loyalty, but faithful men are few

I always read that verse nodding like yea, fasho, that's true

Till God pulled the mirror out, said "The unfaithful man is you

You think you got it, but it's time to learn a thing or two"

Yea this world's cold, I feel the ice

Pleasure helps for a moment, feelin' nice

I feel enticed, desires rise and I steal a bite

Then minimize with lies what I know isn't right

What's done in the dark will come to light

What I let in my heart will fill my life

What a mentor said is still in my mind when I'm still at night

"Without integrity, you're nothing"- man, that's some real advice

No excuses for what comes out of me; I'm responsible

Do I care more what people think or what the Father knows?

Dissin' stars and politicians I don't think are honorable

How am I different? Protecting my image; not being vulnerable

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me

I've acted in lust and lies, tried to justify

Passively ducking to hide, holding such a pride

Grasping for my desires, yeah I clutched and pried

Falling short so many times, I've just slumped and cried

Learning to confess, they be like "what?" surprised

Defending me not knowing all I have tucked inside

The Lord cares for my heart, all else is chucked aside

I must not speak into other's lives without adjusting mine

The path I'm on has looked good, I have customized

A great career, traveling while saving up some dimes

How I'ma invest my precious time? It's what I must decide

Say I want to leave my job, they say I must be wise

Bleeding Savior on my mind and I am much obliged

I've received more than I deserve to open up my eyes

Tragic world around me, I was born for such a time

Broken down on my knees, just enough to rise

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me

I ain't lived out all I rap about and it often gets me

With no leg to stand on, I can kneel correctly

Shame comes before I open up and you inspect me

In justice you can judge evil and rightly condemn me

Yet you judge like a doctor, to heal and correct me

Shame evaporates in grace, you're for and not against me

You've waited for me patiently, never left me empty

The gifts you give are water: I can only hold them gently

Though my left chest's aching and my next step's changing

I accept patience in my expectations

If I've asked you in my heart, I got no reservations

Don't leave Lord, take it; make these renovations

We gotta break the old cuz we're gonna build

No sense in hiding, it's all gonna be revealed

Spine is full of chills, not perfect, but I know I'm healed

My cup ain't half empty nor full: it's over filled

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me

I'm on my knees

You've broken me

You've broken me
