[Verse 1]
Never really been the one to scar and kill
I’ve always been the one who’s really raw and real
I’ll tear it apart grain by grain like a garden mill
Even chop up my flow like a martial skill
Leave it jumbled up, ajar and frilled
That’s a promise, man, I feel like Richard Marx for real
Was a lost one, shoutout to Ms. Lauryn Hill
Now I’m found, praise the Lord for His cordial will
I say what I think, man, it’s evident
Yeah, man, I’m working on my penmanship
Look at my sentences
I gotta be speaking the real ish, it’s relevant
If I don’t, I’d be like every rappеr—ignorant
These peoplе getting ridiculous
Bringing your best friend in court just to plead for your innocence
I really wish it was different
I’m not hating on people, I hate their decisions
And these people wonder why rap is a stereotype
With sex, money, bragging, and taking lives
Can’t we stick to morals instead of just doing what we feel like?
Then when something bad happens, we blame the Man up in the sky
Like “why ain’t you here?” when it’s really you being Jesus-deprived
They feeding the lies, they feeding their lives to the deceiver in mind
[Chorus]
I gotta speak the truth cuz no one here is willing to
Calling out myself with the hypocrites, man, it ain’t a pick-and-choose
I’m not gon’ right my wrongs or even yours, that’s for Him to do
He’s here to lead you to victory, not here to lean back and see you lose
I gotta speak the truth cuz no one here is willing to
Calling out myself with the hypocrites, man, it ain’t a pick-and-choose
I’m not gon’ right my wrongs or even yours, that’s for Him to do
He’s here to lead you to victory, not here to lean back and see you lose
[Post-Chorus ad-libs]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I’m back in a white robe
Roll with the lamb, ain’t no Murcielago
Back with His plan, it’s nothing that I chose
In life, I feel like I’m walking a tightrope with a blindfold
That goes to show that I might fold
But with Christ ahead of me, you know I’ma follow what I like, bro
I like my Savior, I’m following Him
On this path, I don’t really got time for revenge
I’m just tryna survive so it’s better that I forget and forgive
Forget and forgive (what?)
I’m writing this with a sense of urgency
I don’t care if you flog, spit, or murder me
I’m doing this to save you, I don’t care if you burden me
[Chorus]
I gotta speak the truth cuz no one here is willing to
Calling out myself with the hypocrites, man, it ain’t a pick-and-choose
I’m not gon’ right my wrongs or even yours, that’s for Him to do
He’s here to lead you to victory, not here to lean back and see you lose
I gotta speak the truth cuz no one here is willing to
Calling out myself with the hypocrites, man, it ain’t a pick-and-choose
I’m not gon’ right my wrongs or even yours, that’s for Him to do
He’s here to lead you to victory, not here to lean back and see you lose
