mattafact. - Know Yourself (feat. Colin Edge) [Acoustic Version] Lyrics

Lookin' in the mirror, can't hear it, like my vocals on low
With no life to hang on to because my heart let go
I've got no metronome, no march to beat to
And now my life is on display, like my heart is see-through
I thought I'd plan my life in addition, not subtraction
It was all mathematics, yet I'm causin' a divide
I cried, I tried, I died that night, but when thinkin' it was me
I revived that life, recognizin' realizin' my health, it was heaven sent
I've been strugglin' against the past lies ever since
And though he holds the whole world in one hand
He considered me important, and he tended to my brokenness, see
I just considered my wealth, till that was non left
And that's right where he wanted me
My pride, my lies, couldn't help me live
And I couldn't even set me free, y'all
You can see the light, you can know the light, but you can't walk out on me
(Nah, you can't leave Him y'all)
You can know yourself, you can own yourself, but you can't set yourself free
(Here we go)
Out of it, punch-drunk lyrics like the speaker box broke
With no ground to stand on, because my legs don't work
I've found a rhythm, but it ain't my tone
And I can't skip to it, cause it ain't my own
I thought I'd go and make my survival the fittest
Like I had all control, with only God as my witness
I've wronged my rights, but couldn't right my wrong
And still you never disregarded my life, God
You can see the light, you can know the light, but you can't walk out on me
(His love is deeper than that)
You can know yourself, you can own yourself, but you can't set yourself free
And you can't set yourself free when you keep falling back again
And you can't know who you'll be when you keep trying to pretend
Oh yeah
(It's not yours to own)
You can see the light, you can know the light, but you can't walk out on me
This love is greater than that
You can know yourself, you can own yourself, but you can't set yourself free
You can see the light, you can know the light, but you can't walk out on me
You can know yourself, you can own yourself, but you can't set yourself free
(No, no)
