Lecrae, Mathai - Free From It All lyrics

But should I fall
I’m still free from it all, it
All, it all, it all, it all

Round of applause, I pause to take a photo op
None of it’s real, it's just photoshopped
Crop out my flaws then my failures
My aches and all my ailments
Now I'm picture perfect
Take all my dirt and conceal it
Really, I no better than any
But they pay me a pretty penny
To sit and look pretty
Not too big, not too skinny
Be whatever these fans demand of me
‘Cause otherwise they probably
Wouldn't love me the show goes on even
After the curtains close i smile and pose
Put my signature on they clothes
They lift me up so high that
I'm surely about to fall
The higher that I go the
More unforgivin’ they are
No grace and no exceptions
All they want is perfection
The man in the mirror can't
Even see his reflection
You live for their acceptance
You die from their rejection
But even if I fall
I fell in the right direction

Cameras flash, the curtains call
The credit's roll down the screen
Critics laugh
They hate us all as they applaud
But should I fall i’m still free from it all

Life is a cage
A prison of everyone's approval
Fight for acceptance and struggle so
You don't ever lose it
But livin’ for their acceptance
Has got us stressing
Insecure people obsessed with
Leaving impressions
Ladies spending time on their
Faces painting pretty lines
To you and me it's make-up, but to her
It’s a disguise
You look her in her eyes and see her soul cry
‘Cause living for other people’s got
Her living a lie hadn’t slept in day
Close his eyes and he pray
Someone would miss him if he fell
Like a star out of space
But I'm sure they'll replace him
Just a name and a face
They say they love you
But it's easy to fall from their graces
Live for everyone else gotcha losin’ yourself
Why be slave when made to
Be free from the guilt?
To be free from the shame
You are more than a name
If you go down you got the
Freedom to get up again

Cameras flash, the curtains call
The credit's roll down the screen
Critics laugh
They hate us all as they applaud
But should I fall i’m still free from it all

Every moment is passing just let ‘em go
In fifty years, man
Who cares? We’ll be super old
Many winners will lose, many heroes will fall
And if that’s me I’m still (Free from it all)

Cameras flash, the curtains call
The credit's roll down the screen
Critics laugh
They hate us all as they applaud
But should I fall i’m still free from it all
It all it all it all it all it all it all
