Find You
Doujah Raze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can't hide you
The things that you reveal
They can't guide you
What you thought was real
Is just a lie too
If you can't find the truth
The truth will find you
Are deep inside you
The things that you possess
They only ride you
The words that you confess
Are just a lie too
If you can't find the truth
The truth will find you
We all caught up in it
Cause we all brought up in it
The hardship we endure is
Just a part of living
All the hearts we break
That's just a part of building
All the parts we take
That's just a part of giving
You don't see it, what you seeing is hidden
And when they hide it they don't want
No one to find it - forbidden
And when they lying
Then it's really only truth that they spitting
If you believe 'em
Then it's really just a lie that's been written
It's kinda hard to try to figure out
The science/religion
Cuz all the hate that you spraying is
Really love that's misgiven
And all the love that you craving is
Just a hateful incision
And when our soul's cradled
Then it's in a grave or imprisoned
The state we live in
Ain't the way we envisioned
When we were babies
There were so many ways
We were left wishing
But now the wool has been
Pulled over these eyes that did glisten
And now that glimmer of hope
Won't even shine in a prism
The things that you conceal
They can't hide you
The things that you reveal
They can't guide you
What you thought was real
Is just a lie too
If you can't find the truth
The truth will find you
The things that you detest
Are deep inside you
The things that you possess
They only ride you
The words that you confess
Are just a lie too
If you can't find the truth
The truth will find you
Ways through the madness
Are often painful and tragic
Your final place is a wasteland
That's filled with anger and havoc
And all the angels and magic
Couldn't re-angle the traffic
And this disgrace of a place
Is left to its demons and addicts
There ain't no way to try to
Come back from these episodes
They'll leave you lost
Until you're found extra-terrestrial
Cuz when the human mind is
Nothing more than vegetables
It's so easy to spray, and say
There's nothing left of those!
That's the point cuz as they grow it
They don't want you to know it
So they dress it up like it's pretty
When it's really a rodent
And they make it out to be silly
When it's really important
And yea they call it your partner
When it's really your opponent
The things that you conceal
They can't hide you
The things that you reveal
They can't guide you
What you thought was real
Is just a lie too
If you can't find the truth
The truth will find you
The things that you detest
Are deep inside you
The things that you possess
They only ride you
The words that you confess
Are just a lie too
The only way to find the truth
Is to find you!
Yea, yea, they can't hide you
Uh, nah, they can't guide you
Yah, yah, it's all a lie too
The only way to find the truth
Is to find you
Yeah, yeah, they gonna ride you
Yah, yah, they deep inside you
Yo, yo, they right behind you
The only way to find the truth
Is to find you!
The lyrics of Doujah Raze's song "Find You" offer a commentary on the state of the world and the way in which individuals can lose sight of their true selves. The opening lines suggest that there are things that people conceal and reveal, but ultimately, these things cannot hide or guide them. The truth, which is often obscured or intentionally hidden, can only be found by those who seek it out. The second verse suggests that people are born into a society that is imperfect and filled with hardship, heartbreak, and deception. People may become misguided and confused, mistaking lies for truth and love for hate. It is only when they search within themselves that they can discover the truth and find their own way. The refrain of the song reinforces this idea, emphasizing that the only way to find the truth is by seeking it out within oneself.
Overall, the song "Find You" seems to be a call to action for individuals to look within themselves and seek out the truth, instead of relying on external sources or societal norms to guide them. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, as if time is running out and people need to act quickly to save themselves from the chaos of the world. The song is a powerful reminder that even in the midst of despair and confusion, there is still hope for those who are willing to seek it out.
