Breathin' To Death

Type: tape By Lecrae © Reach Records 13 Comments

It’s like I’m tired of life/ Lord i’m wrong why I cant get right/ And when it’s dark why I cant get light/ eh why it cant be light it’s so heavy why my sin won’t let me see the end/ come get me/ please come get me/ my thoughts my mind/ my ways all evil/ I’m sposed to be your people I’m sposed to see your sequal/ I said I’ll never leave you/ But I’m so left i aint right Lord I’m sleeping with death/man, I am cheating with death/ am I deaf Its like I don’t hear you/ I say that I’m a Christian but it’s like I don’t fear you/ I’m on a selfish island and i am no where near you/ God i really need you even tho I don’t appear to/ I’m drinking out a broken cistern that could never hold water and I’m gonna get burned/ tho I try i never satisfy or quench this yearn/ I hear you calling but it’s like a fight for me to just turn/Lord I deserve to burn

Hook: Repeat 2x
Help me Lord before there’s no time left
I ain’t living I’m just breathing to death (echo)
Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest
Mine are evil and they lead me to death

I’m fellin’ skitzophrenic / maybe I ain’t saved cause i gotta get high just to block out all the pain/ seen death, seen hurt seen a whole lotta thangs/ instead of running from it I’m running away from change/ it’s like I’m outside in the ice cold weather/the rains coming down and I keep getting wetter/ I know I’m getting sick and I could die any second/ but still I refuse to let your truths make me better/ I’d rather eat flies and maggots instead of bread/ and its killing me slow but i cant get it through my head/ you were stabbed you were murdered/ and for me is why you bled/ but I spit on your bloody face as If i never cared/ And Lord how dare i compare my pain/ your father turned his back/ and you were left to hang/ I don’t know why you did it that I cant explain/ how can you love this sinner whose desecrated your name/Lord I deserve the flames

Hook: 2x

I know I tell lies/ I know I do dirt/ Apart from you I’m nothing but you can give me worth/ I don’t know if I know you/ But still I know I should/ I know the days are evil and only you are Good/ I’ve come to this conclusion I would like to change cause all the worlds money and fame cannot sustain/ I know that i should turn but thats the hardest thang/ cause do I really feel that havin’ Jesus is my gain/ the world is so tempting/ Satan is a beast/ he hypnotizes my eyes to say the least/ But Jesus be my treasure to know you is live/ and I am here dying trying everything there is/ All I need here is you/ help me turn away from sin/ Lord give me grace to turn away and the fear not to give in/ I know that I’m not perfect but if I could rest in Him/ I know i don’t deserve it but still I’ll take your hand/Lord let me take your hand

Hook: 2x

It is as if you have watched my life and wrote about it.For many years while calling myself a Christian i have lived wrong and i am desperately seeking a right relationship with God because there is no other purpose for me if i can not live His purpose for me and i have brought a geat deal of pain to others and myself because of my daily decisions based on self-pity. Now i want to be a blessing to others as continue to get insight from God's Word. Your lyrics keep it real about;they speak to everyone about what really goes in the heart and mind of a lot of us out here and encourage us to find refuge God. Thanks

  • Justin Willoughby (Dec 16th, 08 at 9:42 PM) Total truth. I've had a hard time dealing with sin the last few weeks, and this song helped me out so much.. I've come to realise that God is always present to pick me up, and no matter what I do, I will never be good enough. Praise God for His mercy. In the white culture here in a small town.. Christian rap is hardly listened 2, but praise God for Reach Records, and what they have to offer. Even tho it's not relevant music in my small down. I still bump it, and let it sharpen me. I pray for you guys everytime I think about it. You bros gots a good thing going on. I appreciate you so much! THANKS for doing what you do!
  • Steph (Dec 26th, 08 at 7:22 PM) This song really hit home with me... "I ain't living I'm just breathing to death"... that is such a strong statement, and so true. Very convicting, reminds you that if you aren't giving Jesus your all, you're not living...you're just breathing to death...

  • Jonathan Crappel (Nov 20th, 09 at 9:59 AM) This ministry is awesome. I love the music. More importantly, I have come to love Jesus, and continue to do so as I get more and more into His word. Thank you Reach for what you do.
