Lyrics The Truth Shall Make You Free - The Mighty Hannibal

The Truth Shall Make You Free

I wanna talk to all you addicts out there
That’s got yourself a great big Jones
An' you done tried all the methadone
An' you just can’t leave that heroin alone
I wonder, have you tried
Jesus?
Sweet, sweet-ah
Sweet-ah Jesus
Jesus said the truth shall make you free
I bear witness, I was hooked
Drugs is just a new name for slavery
Lord, I bear witness, I was hooked
Started out just for fun
The first time I took a little one-and-one
See my buddy was a pusher, the first stop to see
Because everyday he gave me that much dope for free
He even swore before God, it wouldn’t do me no harm
Won’t you look at me, I’m sticking it in my arm
But listen
Jesus said the truth shall make you free
I bear witness, I was hooked
Drugs is just a new name for slavery
Lord, I bear witness, I was hooked
Listen to me good
I thought something for nothing showing up sick
Now I spent all I got so I don’t get too sick
And no matter how good y’all know that skag make me feel
I was the only loser on my great big deal
But listen
Jesus said the truth shall make you free
I bear witness, I was hooked
Drugs is just a new name for slavery
Lord, I bear witness, I was hooked
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus
I’m so glad that I found you, Jesus―Listen
There wasn’t nothing I wouldn’t do when I needed a fix
I met the mother of my children going to turn the trick
I believe if I ran into God, I would still try to lie
So I could beat him out some money just to go get high
But listen
Jesus said the truth shall make you free
Lord, I bear witness, I was hooked
Drugs is just a new name for slavery
Lord, I bear witness, I was hooked
Thank you Jesus
I’m so glad that you found me when I was down and out
Lord had reason to put me down
I’m so glad I grabbed ya
Hold me Jesus, don’t let me go Jesus
It’s the only friend I got
Thank you Jesus
