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
