lyrics

Well aren’t you something
The keeper of the secrets
Tall enough to put it up where no one else can reach it
Hiding behind the curtain desertin while you preach it
pretending to be the holy chosen one to see it
Spreading out diseases from the worms that corrupt you
But you urge what we must do is buckle up and trust you
1, 2, 1, 2 is this thing on?
You can keep your identity
The label is wrong
And entirely misleading
Laughing in the sacrificial bleeding
Ignorantly willful self-defeating
Hastening, and still impeding
Lying, stealing, cheating
Looking down the glass ceiling
Of your bureaucratic seating
You are nothing but a greeting
Please save the your welcome
It’ll come out in the wash
When washed is the outcome
And the sincere appear confident with a ticket
And the frauds are on God still lying to kick it

Hold the door open
You’ve been misled
Hold the door open
Is what He said
Hold the door open
And share the love
Holding the door open is more than enough













But you don’t want to see them make it
You don’t want to see the truth
We don’t need your permission
Or your vacant excuse
This is proof in the power
You can see it from your tower
It’s a movement, so moveover
Come inside or get run over
I will hold the door wide open
Even for y’all
Knowing I may have to slow my own walk down to a crawl
To accommodate
But better wait
Then leave behind
And seal the fate
don’t hesitate
Or block the gate
Or sleep in late
Then complicate
Cuz I’ve got a looming deadline and you’re moving inconsistent
In it for a minute, in an instant back to distant
Why be so damn resistant?
Got a problem with grace?
Stitching scarlet letters
Rotten egg on your face
Last leg of the race
And you get caught nappin’
Passed by a middle aged prodigal rappin
How could such an obvious thing like this happen
The glass was too clean you couldn’t see you were crashin
Rage so blind but you see it as passion
A firebrand brand of American fashion
Got you Thelma and Louise through the breeze no traction
But the gate will still be open when you finally get back son
