Lecrae - Breathin' To Death

Song from the newest album of Lecrae's Rebel.

Lyrics:

It's like I'm tired of life/ Lord i'm wrong why I cant get right/ And when it's dark why I cant get light/ eh why it cant be light it's so heavy why my sin won't let me see the end/ come get me/ please come get me/ my thoughts my mind/ my ways all evil/ I'm sposed to be your people I'm sposed to see your sequal/ I said I'll never leave you/ But I'm so left i aint right Lord I'm sleeping with death/man, I am cheating with death/ am I deaf Its like I don't hear you/ I say that I'm a Christian but it's like I don't fear you/ I'm on a selfish island and i am no where near you/ God i really need you even tho I don't appear to/ I'm drinking out a broken cistern that could never hold water and I'm gonna get burned/ tho I try i never satisfy or quench this yearn/ I hear you calling but it's like a fight for me to just turn/Lord I deserve to burn

Hook: Repeat 2x
Help me Lord before there's no time left
I ain't living I'm just breathing to death (echo)
Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest
Mine are evil and they lead me to death

I'm fellin' skitzophrenic / maybe I ain't saved cause i gotta get high just to block out all the pain/ seen death, seen hurt seen a whole lotta thangs/ instead of running from it I'm running away from change/ it's like I'm outside in the ice cold weather/the rains coming down and I keep getting wetter/ I know I'm getting sick and I could die any second/ but still I refuse to let your truths make me better/ I'd rather eat flies and maggots instead of bread/ and its killing me slow but i cant get it through my head/ you were stabbed you were murdered/ and for me is why you bled/ but I spit on your bloody face as If i never cared/ And Lord how dare i compare my pain/ your father turned his back/ and you were left to hang/ I don't know why you did it that I cant explain/ how can you love this sinner whose desecrated your name/Lord I deserve the flames

Hook: 2x

I know I tell lies/ I know I do dirt/ Apart from you I'm nothing but you can give me worth/ I don't know if I know you/ But still I know I should/ I know the days are evil and only you are Good/ I've come to this conclusion I would like to change cause all the worlds money and fame cannot sustain/ I know that i should turn but thats the hardest thang/ cause do I really feel that havin' Jesus is my gain/ the world is so tempting/ Satan is a beast/ he hypnotizes my eyes to say the least/ But Jesus be my treasure to know you is live/ and I am here dying trying everything there is/ All I need here is you/ help me turn away from sin/ Lord give me grace to turn away and the fear not to give in/ I know that I'm not perfect but if I could rest in Him/ I know i don't deserve it but still I'll take your hand/Lord let me take your hand

Hook: 2x

I listened to this song tonight instead of reaching for that bottle.

[Kilbinobi]

It was like God himself was rapping to me. All thoughts of suicide and evil were washed away! This is the truth!

[brier00]

It's like I'm tired of life Lord I'm wrong why I cant get right

And when it's dark why I cant get light eh why it cant be light

it's so heavy why my sin won't let me see the end come get me

please come get me!

Lord please! im going through some relationship stuff right now.. and i need God for help. i need my Jesus.. please help me.. i will praise you in the storm.. but God dont leave me.. please come get me! Lord let me take your hand..

[tymmy724]

"im sleepin with death, im cheatin with death" That line really speaks to me because a lot of times i know that in way i cheat on God with all my idols and by sinning against Him. And i know that i can never know how that feels to God, even though i have an idea, since my previous boyfriend cheated on me....

[kelsondunn]

@Kilbinobi im prayin for u praise the lord forever

[JDTheMessenger]

@MrDelchs34 Of course I care about what you said, friend. I replied because that line triggered a deep pensiveness inside of me, as did you. I apologize if I sounded condescending.

[MrDelchs34]

@JDTheMessenger thats the problem with u so called saved folks........you dont even care about what i said or how i felt.... you people always got to show how much you know.....

[hbmjbn77]

I'm not really big on rap music of any kind but OMG thank you JESUS for this young man i have heard him and think he can reach out to my brother... I've prayed for that change in him and hopefully this type of rap will help usher him into the presence of God!

[hbmjbn77]

@Kilbinobi THANK YOU JESUS! God Bless You

[hbmjbn77]

@emilyonherown thank you Jesus God Bless You

[JDTheMessenger]

@MrDelchs34 He actually said "fear" you, which is slightly more convicting since Proverbs 9:10 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

[livingforchrist33]

@Kilbinobi thats amazing man god does amazing things and i feel same

[SouljaBoy850]

This song spoke to and pierced my heart...

[revelldr]

[mariopot789]

@sharina569 it happens to us all don't worry about it just tell Jesus youre sorry and try to live the rest of your life better but take it from me trying to live better doesn't mean you'll be living perfect. goodluck and God bless.

[TheProdigy502]

[sharina569]

[why6574]

@kridr2 but why do u feel guilty? this song to me expresses tht everyone feels like this at one point. But at the end he says we need to come Jesus. You can do the same:)
