The Truth Shall Make You Free - The Mighty Hannibal

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
