Lyrics Breaking of a Man - John Forté

Breaking of a Man

I know you’ve seen the breaking of a man
You’ve, taken all you can
As if the house we made, was made across the sand
Oh lord, the penalty for suffering can seem so hard
Dreaming of days with everything so dark
Try to walk good, where does that road start?
Show…
I, John
Thought exercises sought out, to advise and add on
I changed the thinking you so proudly had on
This mobilizing effort
It picks up from where the best of the best came and left it
The treasure of truth
I mix drinks within the booth
They can’t be measured with youth
I break leaven, with the seven, that would ever produce
My past estranged to life, if change is right
You can say the judge killed me, then I came to life
A new-born, like a neophyte
Fruitful love, from the tree of life
This is the letter, I don’t need to write
Peace y love, blessed the stars if I don’t breathe the night
If I don’t save you from yourself, maybe Jesus might
What I envision is better, steady, higher living
From this system though you dudes might be dead already
I graduated from a school where the minds varied
To hold a burden, known to those that only time carries
This cherry blossom of martial artists, studied the Chi
Written on Gods, some were tutored by philosophers demonstrably
I deconstruct the sub-par and put 'em back together like the monsters be
How you want it?
Obvious or subconsciously
If every man has his price, who sponsors me?
You should do more than just drink responsibly
See, even in the mountains lord, John was free
As faith would have it, they would have me talking savage
Like the average among us, and not confined to the youngest
And like the magical healer slash masterful builder
I know the riddle of steel is in the hands of the wielder
They tried to shatter my leader
Do bad to the breather, for living
Paged, twenty-seven from the Bhagavad-Gita
So when his time stops
Where he lay, read I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for what I’m not
You can’t subtract logic, I put tulips on his grave
And waxed philosophic to the words he gave
Read my lips, it’s a new day running
And it ain’t coming, cause it’s here for the taking
It’s been years in the making
I spent years in the station, waiting to make this entrance
I’m here to free the world young star.
What’s your intention?
This is warfare youngin.
Lighting is flashing down
Tune in and let’s see what’s happening now
One way or another it’s going down
