Armor Up

[Intro]
Yeah
This that Ephesians 6 talk
Armor up
We at war, not a walk
[Verse 1]
Wake up to a battle I can’t see
Arrows in the air tryna mark me
Devil in the DMs, tryna dark me
But the King already said, “You a part of Me”
Belt of truth on, keep my waist tight
Word in my heart, keep my face bright
Lies hit my mind in the late night
I answer with the Scripture, let the faith fight
Righteousness wrapped like a vest on my chest
I remember who I am when I’m pressed, not impressed
When the shame start shoutin’ in the back of my head
I point right back to the cross where it bled
[Chorus]
Armor up, I’m standin’ on the front line (front line)
Faith is my shield when they cross that gun line (gun line)
Truth ‘round my waist, keep me held together
Righteousness on, made strong for the pressure
Sword of the Spirit, yeah I swing that Word
Every dark thought fall when His voice gets heard
Armor up, I ain’t fightin’ in the flesh and blood
Armor up, I’ma trust in the Lord my God
[Verse 2]
Boots laced up, I’m prepared with peace
Got scars but the storm in my heart gotta cease
Temptation ringin’ like a late-night call
“Come back, just once” tryna make me fall
Nah
Shield up when the doubts start flyin’
I remember every tear that He caught when I’m cryin’
Lift it high when the lies get loud
Let ‘em break on the faith that He formed in this child
Helmet on, guardin’ up my thoughts
Grace on my mind, what the blood already bought
Enemy talkin’ like he still got claim
But the name of the Lord set fire to the chains
[Chorus]
Armor up, I’m standin’ on the front line (front line)
Faith is my shield when they cross that gun line (gun line)
Truth ‘round my waist, keep me held together
Righteousness on, made strong for the pressure
Sword of the Spirit, yeah I swing that Word
Every dark thought fall when His voice gets heard
Armor up, I ain’t fightin’ in the flesh and blood
Armor up, I’ma trust in the Lord my God
[Bridge]
I don’t bow to the fear, I don’t run from the fight (nah)
I just stand in His power, I just rest in His might
When it all goes black and I can’t see light
I speak what He said till it all turns bright
[Chorus]
Armor up, I’m standin’ on the front line (front line)
Faith is my shield when they cross that gun line (gun line)
Truth ‘round my waist, keep me held together
Righteousness on, made strong for the pressure
Sword of the Spirit, yeah I swing that Word
Every dark thought fall when His voice gets heard
Armor up, I ain’t fightin’ in the flesh and blood
Armor up, I’ma trust in the Lord my God

rap, Boom-bap gospel rap, 90–94 BPM, gritty drums and warm bass. Male vocals with urgent, sermon-like delivery; hook stacks call-and-response gang vocals for a church-chant feel. Sparse keys and choir stabs in verses, chorus opens with organ swells and big claps. Subtle risers into final hook, leaving space at the end for an a cappella repeat of the title line.
