What We Allow

(Verse 1)

What we allow, we become — look around, it’s evident

World didn’t crumble from chaos, nah, it let it in

A man don’t fall when his spine stands straight and firm

He tips first, convinces himself, “Just a slight little turn”

Nothing snaps overnight, it’s permissions in doses

Micro-decisions disguised as “I know this”

Lean a little today, call it harmless intent

Tomorrow you sideways wonderin’ where balance went

Influence puppets our motives, you think you’re immune?

Every deed’s got a driver — God or the ruin

No neutral transmission, you’re gearin’ a path

Either submitted to truth or just driftin’ in lack

You don’t wake up enslaved, you negotiate first

Let comfort sit shotgun while discipline bursts

Now you tired, overweight in the spirit and heart

Still shocked when the fall was authored in parts

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, you don’t lose the war in a moment of rage

You retire from truth, page by page

(Chorus)

What we allow, we become

What we excuse, gets a throne

It don’t happen overnight

It’s a bend, then a break in the bones

Every “just this once”

Every line slowly crossed

When you ask how you got where you from

Check what you allowed — you become

(Verse 2)

They said don’t conform, but we blend in for peace

Call submission “survival,” bow to rent and a lease

Work for money, not meaning, trade vision for bread

Eight hours servin’ Pharaoh, then we pray before bed

We don’t worship false gods — nah, we too smart for statues

We worship convenience, schedules, and practical values

If it costs me my comfort, I question the call

But if Satan pays faster, we don’t question at all

A man shows his nature when hunger hits veins

He’ll eat what sustains him or numbs all the pain

God says “seek it,” broken bread, patient and slow

Satan plates it in silver, says “why wait though?”

One feeds the flesh, one rebuilds the core

One keeps you distracted, one keeps you sore

And we keep choosing easy, then ask Heaven “why me?”

Starvin’ for truth with junk food theology

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, you don’t lose the war in a moment of rage

You retire from truth, page by page

(Chorus)

What we allow, we become

What we excuse, gets a throne

It don’t happen overnight

It’s a bend, then a break in the bones

Every “just this once”

Every line slowly crossed

When you ask how you got where you from

Check what you allowed — you become

(Bridge - tempo drops, venom in the voice)

We don’t ask where we sinned, we just shrug, call it fate

Patch the wound, never pull out the blade

Conviction tried knockin’, we boarded the door

Now we livin’ with pain we invited before

You don’t confront it — you crown it, that’s law

What you tolerate trains you to beg for more

Grace ain’t soft, it just tells you the truth

You don’t bleed ‘cause of God — you bled ‘cause of you

(Outro)

What we allow… we become

What we excuse… rules the throne

You don’t fall overnight

You leaned till the ground felt like home

(Chorus)

What we allow, we become

What we excuse, gets a throne

It don’t happen overnight

It’s a bend, then a break in the bones

Every “just this once”

Every line slowly crossed

When you ask how you got where you from

Check what you allowed — you become
