False Freedoms (Don't Believe 'Em) Video (MV)

How many times can a heart break like smashed plates
Pieces of me on the floor flat face
Erase these lessons sure to make more
Am I the only one who forgot where they're from?
Took the detour felt something other than numb?
Caught you looking dumb with a name written in gold ink
Give a damn what anyone thinks at this amount
Spreading the love around this time making it count
Grounded in my ways and words bounded by way what pays and slurs
Astounded that you never heard this twisted version of boy meets world
Grounded only once insisted I didn't know the conversion
A whole life lived as a diversion from the truth
Where we all trying to search too? Ended me up in a church
What hurts more
What hurts more
Walked in and I still wasn't sure

We've evolved to false freedoms
Don't believe 'em
Look within, stay risin'

Fallen leaves must return to the root all they wanna see is blossomed fruit
Polished finished edited proofs I'll give you the truth
Ruthless tendencies dwell in the globe Addiction, dependency overthrow
The frontal lobe probe a little problems become riddles
If I smell smoke there must be fire
I look to you to take me higher
How can I deny when you move my eyes toward the prize
For your information I speak this declaration
World harmony just a speculation
War profits patience I'm facing 6 more years
I can't give in laced with sin
I know how it feels to begin again
But you gotta go
Go back to the root
Back to the root
Back to the root

We've evolved to false freedoms
Don't believe 'em
Look within, stay risin'

I've set down on this path where many don't come back
Scars on my front re-rack my weights
Building a righteous chest plate
Remember back to that first glance
My new body embodied a second chance
See it in my stance I even dance better
My shirts fit better and my Ooh game never better
Thinking back though nobody gave me that green light
The key that opened my up was my authority to fight back
Defend yourself and do my best to do what's right in who's sight?
The one connected inside my life
The blind never seen this light before I assure you
My memories as a teen I was searching for my worth
What you mean? What is the purpose for me being on this earth?
Wasn't til the rebirth I unearthed what was intended
With my gender blended I knew to what end I'd found a friend
Heart and chest mended baby I can treat you better - no Mendes
Nevermind what the president says playing musical chairs avoiding cells
Still mailing pen pals detailing the forgiveness in their failing
I'm bailing out with buckets
Ya'll f*ck boys can suck it
Lightning has struck frightening my luck was divine
That line might take some time
I'll be fine just leave me alone
Having a good ass day I'm in my zone

We've evolved to false freedoms
Don't believe 'em
Look within, stay risin'

They've been selling us false freedoms for a long time
Time to take it back
Freedom...
