I realize we ain't livin' in the freedom Buyin' the lie: "we need more blood to pay it off" I'm walking on this troubled shore Finding the line between your pardon and my hands I want my resurrection, please So I'm letting go of all that I've seen Don't give me milk, God, I want meat 'Cause I've been raisin' a boy Yes I've been raisin' a boy But I ain't him anymore Pile 'em high, I need fuel to fan the season Corner the lie, this ignorance I can't afford I want my grace-empowered peace So I'm letting go of all that I need So give me more, God, I want Thee 'Cause I've been raisin' a boy Yes I've been raisin' a boy Well I got mo excuse, I ain't just a man I'm a Spirit son, I've got heart and hands I've been raisin' a boy But I ain't him anymore No I ain't him anymore 'Cause I've been raisin' a boy Yes I've been raisin' a boy Yes I've been raisin' a boy Now I ain't raisin' a boy
