DeAndre, Lynette Sullivan - From Nettie (Interlude) lyrics

Hey Dre, this is Net i was thinking
About our conversation the other
Day love acceptance how often we
Hear these words -but
How little we truly understand them
They use the term
"love" to coax you into the same cages that
Killed the dreams of the ones
Before you they use this
Idea of acceptance to lead
You blindly through a
Graveyard of dreams hoping to entice
You with the romanticism
Of promises in what this
Falsified love may bring

Bargain your soul to receive their
Acceptance Their acceptance will
Force you to settle in the comfort of their
Chains as these chains are far easier to face
Than the betrayal of your own true Self

As you bend down to remove
The chains from around your
Ankles You Wake up to find
That are none there
Are no constraints holding you back
From your very own
Version of freedom the discomfort
You feel is from
The scars of your past resistance
To be Yourself but This
Too will fade let go of the idea this
You need to detach yourself from
An identity that no
Longer serves you in order to be free

Attach yourself to what IS the Truth
Your Truth tHIS is freedom
You don't need their acceptance to
Shine You are Light dre
You don't need their Love
