[Intro]
Who pays you
For breaking the truth?
Who pays you
For breaking the truth? (yeah)
[Verse 1]
You can't serve two masters
Pick a side or you fracture
Say "I swear" with your hand up
But your heart read it backwards
Law talk on the page
But the ink can't cage what you chase
You trade trust for a taste
Then you gotta look God in the face
A promise ain't real if you bend it
If you plan to break, you never meant it
You sign lines, smile wide for the cameras
But the fine print screams "double-standard"
You call it hustle, I call it a habit
Telling half-truths like a talent
You took an oath, then sold it at an auction
Wonder why your soul feel rotten
[Chorus]
You can't serve two masters
One gonna pull you apart
You say, "I promise forever"
But you crossed out your own heart
A promise to God don't expire
You can't burn that in the fire
Who pays you for breaking the truth?
Tell me, who bought your choir?
[Verse 2]
You swear on the book you don't read
You swear you'll protect, then you bleed
Every vow on the floor like glass
Bare feet walking through your past
You chase praise, chase paper
Chase likes, chase favors
But every little lie stacked high
Turn a quick win to a crater
You call it "just business"
But the hurt got interest
Every kid that believed what you said
Carry that weight in their head
An oath ain't a post, can't delete it
You don't keep it, you never really mean it
Say "forever" then duck when it hurts
That's breach of contract with the universe
[Chorus]
You can't serve two masters
One gonna pull you apart
You say, "I promise forever"
But you crossed out your own heart
A promise to God don't expire
You can't burn that in the fire
Who pays you for breaking the truth?
Tell me, who bought your choir?
[Bridge]
Is it money? (money)
Is it fear? (fear)
Is it pride when you stare in the mirror?
Is it comfort?
Is it proof?
Who pays you
For breaking the truth?
[Chorus]
You can't serve two masters
One gonna pull you apart
You say, "I promise forever"
But you crossed out your own heart
A promise to God don't expire
You can't burn that in the fire
Who pays you for breaking the truth?
Tell me, who bought your choir?
