[Intro – Jacob Banks]
I been driving through the dark, heart on fumes,
Praying heaven ain’t too far from what I knew…
Wind whispers names of the lost in my crew,
Ain’t no angels in my rearview.
---
[Verse 1 – Lil Tjay]
Yeah, pain got me pacing these blocks again,
Tried to heal but I bleed through the oxygen,
Lost bros in the field, that was consequence,
Now I talk to the stars like they documents.
Still see the flashbacks, beams in the alley,
Shorty cryin’ mama tryna keep the balance,
I was broke, tryna turn a dime to a palace,
Now I’m rich, but the trauma still challenge.
(melodic ad-libs)
Hood scars, hood prayers,
Every blessing feel like warfare,
I’m just tryna make it through,
With my angels over there…
---
[Hook – Morray & Jacob Banks]
🎶 Lord, hold me down when I’m fallin’ through the night,
Keep my faith steady when the demons wanna fight,
I done lost too many, got no tears left to lose,
Ain’t no angels in my rearview. 🎶
---
[Verse 2 – Morray]
Came from that struggle, we don’t talk, we hum pain,
Singing through the thunder like a choir in the rain.
Mama said “boy, let the storm clean your chains,”
But every drop burned like fire in my veins.
They don’t see the miles I walked in them shoes,
All they see’s a smile when I make the news.
But inside I’m a storm that refused to choose—
Heaven or Hell, I just play my blues.
---
[Bridge – Jacob Banks (choir & 808 fade)]
Ohhh… ohhh… I carried the names on my back,
Stone-cold road, no map…
Every prayer echoes back,
Like thunder from the past.
---
[Outro – All Three in Layered Harmony]
No angels, no fear, just faith in the mirror,
Every scar that I wear make my vision clearer.
I ain’t holy, I ain’t perfect, just true,
Ain’t no angels in my rearview…
(echoed by a choir fading into wind)
------
[Verse 3 – Mac Miller (Choir Bridge)]
Yeah… look,
I seen halos on my homies made of cigarette smoke,
Dreams float in the air, still I never let go.
If the sky fall, tell my soul to echo—
In the chords of the choir where my faith still grow.
Uh, I been lost, I been found,
Still Pittsburgh bound with the pain that I drown,
Tryna smile through the rain, keep my feet on the ground,
Tell God if he call, I ain’t backin’ down.
