Album: Reconstruction

Intro: Jon Bellion
It's a paradise and it calls my name
But I can't keep taking holidays

Verse 1: Lecrae
It's a paradox seeking paradise
Thought I'd try my luck
And roll it up like a pair of dice
Took a break from being present
In the presence of a lesson
I ain't trying to hear the message
I escape the pain with pleasure, uh
Takin' holidays, eatin' bolongese
Wearin' Prada shades, sippin' Chardonnay
Check the Cartier, watch
Watch, everything in gold chains
Melt down everything in gold flames
Idols living in my heart, what's wrong with me?
All I need is time and time's controlling me
Play the game so long, I know it's no winning
Left the holiday to get some soul healing
Feel like I deserve to have Miami Vices
But every fleeting pleasure come with sacrifices
This is not a liberty, it's license
Every holiday got heavy prices, yikes

Chorus: Jon Bellion
Hold my heart, hold my face
I spent too long on this vacation
I flew too high, I love the escape
But I think it's time to land this plane
No more fireworks, no more chase
I can't keep that type of pace
It's a paradise and it calls my name
But I can't keep taking holidays
I can't keep taking holidays, oh
It's a paradise and it calls my name
But I can't keep taking holidays

Verse 2: Lecrae
Life and time are precious so I take it slowly
Let go of the purp like it's a new parolee
Engine going out, I was losing my drive
Truth is all around but I'm choosing a lie
Who would've thought I'd be trusted to be a caretaker
On the beach, getting twisted without a hair braider
Laugh now, prepare later, Rare flavor, fare saver
Seeking vanity, it's empty, I'm an air chaser
If I had to say it honestly
I was too afraid to face my demons
'Cause I wanted what they promised me
A hand full of lies about resting
Don't look at the wreckage
Just keep drinking away your depression
You could probably kill anxiety with possessions
Wrestle for a second before I ignore the message
I don't want the lesson they're trying to teach
They offer you the world
Best believe it don't come with peace
Capiche

Chorus: Jon Bellion
Hold my heart, hold my face
I spent too long on this vacation
I flew too high, I love the escape
But I think it's time to land this plane
No more fireworks, no more chase
I can't keep that type of pace
It's a paradise and it calls my name
But I can't keep taking
I can't keep taking
I can't keep taking
Holidays
Oh, I can't keep taking holidays, oh
It's a paradise and it calls my name
But I can't keep taking holidays
