Find your way, find your way, find your way, find your way Find your way back home No, time won’t take too long, put it behind you You can still find your way, find your way, find your way, find your way Find your way back home When you feel too far gone He can still find you I deconstructed long before people knew what to call it I know that’s scary to some folk, so hold on, let me pause it Take you back to how it started, maybe you relate Maybe you ain’t never met me, but you know my pain Focused on Jesus in Atlanta, fresh from Tenessee Wasn’t legalistic, catch me with a cup of Hennessey I would speak at churches, hang with leaders and such You know, Judah, Piper, and Keller, Tony Evans was clutch I was so involved, never thought that I could fall, y’all Right before the fall of 2015, I was all off It involved killing Michael Brown, had me feeling down Tweeted ‘bout it, Christians call me clown, I was losing ground And Voddie was a hero of mine, met with him plenty times This time, when he spoke, it cut me deeper than I realized Doubled-down, spoke about my pain, I was met with blame “Shame on you, ‘Crae, stop crying, get back to Jesus’ name” Cut me deep, I was losing sleep, “God, ain’t these Your sheep?” Why they hate me like they do? Maybe grace is really cheap SongtexteMaybe this is all a lie, they don't really love me They just love it when I say the things they want to hear in public They're like following they God mean turnin' on black people Is black evil?
