Devil’s Bread - Intellectual

[Intro]

I can't ignore it man

Man

I don't wanna put away

But I don't want to ruin my life

[Verse 1]

I'm trying to live my own theology

But I'm still confronted by my own hypocrisy

I've lost count of all the ways

I contradict the things I say in things I pray

And when I recite from my own Bible against my own Christ

Man I love Him to the core

But it's still a struggle trying to love Him even more

Yes I wanna finish well never bring shame

And never sprinkle dirt on the Son of God's name

I wanna stand firm I wanna end strong

But I be so afraid that I'm gonna end wrong

And provide for my self again and supply for my selfish sin

In spite of the knowledge You are a perfect friend

Lord hold me up I know You hear me praying saying

[Hook]

(You know I be getting it in with The Lord consistently

And I just fall off)

Don't wanna ruin, ruin, ruin

Ruin, ruin, ruin

Don't wanna ruin, ruin, ruin

I don't want to ruin my life

[Verse 2]

How is it that you can eat something

Be in love with the taste

Scrape crumbs off the plate, Let none go to waste

Keep eating it, and eating in it

Take a drink, eating in it

Bout a week later put none to your face

Exact same ingredients, numb to the taste

Is my tongue in the way?

Am I dumb? Am I fake?

Or am I just exhausted? Appetite lost it

Is my heart cold? Or is it just frosted?

How long is my crave is my hunger my thirst is

Having a relapse for idol god worship

I know this is dangerous, wrong, and deceit

But it's looking so sweet like bon-a-petit

I know God is my Father and I am His son

He provides for me I should not jump the gun

Said I know this is dangerous, wrong, and deceit

But it's looking so sweet like bon-a-petit

Voila

Then I have to tell myself

He was tempted to provide for Himself too

Dry desert no food forty days forty nights think His appetite

Wasn't like Eve's or the Israelites or like yours or like mine

Then the serpent came right time right lies

But He chose to be father not fed

Make the same choice resist the devil's bread

[Hook]

Don't wanna ruin, ruin, ruin

Ruin, ruin, ruin

Don't wanna ruin, ruin, ruin

I don't want to ruin my life
