12 Years

12 years of suppression, That’s 12 years of depression, ****, that’s 12 years denying me, ‘Cause I’m afraid to feel your rejection.

I bought religion and paid with my peace, Watching these Christians, they still can’t get free. Searching for answers,

Been searching for me, But I bought the lie, and it came with a fee. That’s about— 12 years of running, 12 years of lying, 12 years of fear, 12 years of hiding, 12 years of hate, 12 years in chains, ****, that’s 12 years a slave. I put my faith in somebody else, Before I put faith in myself. Been Waiting for me to get free, Didn’t know I was waiting on me.

All that I am is all that I need, Been praying to God, He answered with me. Been searching for hope, she planted a seed, Yeah, she planted in me.

All that I am is all that I need,(all that I need)

All that I am is all that I need, (all that I need)

Who told me that I didn’t matter, ‘Cause they didn’t love me the way that I needed? Who told me that God couldn’t use me, With all of these scars and all of this bleeding?

I am the portion, I am the remedy, That’s why they can never get rid of me. I treated myself like the enemy, ‘Cause I struggled with loving the inner me. It took about— 12 years of running, 12 years of hiding, 12 years of fear, 12 years of lying, 12 years of hate, 12 years in chains, ****, that’s 12 years a slave. They said that religion is for the weak, Made for those who never seek. Finding the truth was finding me, Yeah, the founding the truth

Was found in me.

All that I am is all that I need, Been praying to God, He answered with me. Been searching for hope, she planted a seed, Yeah, she planted in me.

All that I am is all that I need,(all that I need)

All that I am is all that I need, (all that I need)

All that I am is all that I need, Been praying to God, He answered with me. Been searching for hope, she planted a seed, Yeah, she planted in me.

All that I am is all that I need,(all that I need)

All that I am is all that I need, (all that I need)
