[Verse 1]
He tried my name
Tried my peace
Tried my light
Tried to break my knees
Left me bruised
Left me low
But I kept one spark
I kept one glow
I seen that grin
I seen that lie
Watched him circle back
Like a moon in the sky
But I found my breath
Found my nerve
Now every wound got a lesson
Every scar got a word
[Pre-Chorus]
I was down, down, down
Now I rise, rise, rise
He took a swing at my soul
I looked him dead in the eye
I been silent too long
I been paying my dues
Now the storm in my chest
Got a holy excuse
[Chorus]
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
You won’t take me twice
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
I came back to life
(lick back)
(lick back)
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
He thought I’d fold and crack
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
Now I’m pushing back
[Verse 2]
He put doubt in my ear
Put smoke in my room
Tried to dress my tomorrow
In a funeral tune
But I know my worth
Know my fire
Know a broken heart
Can still climb higher
I was fed that fear
I was sold that pain
Now I wear my crown
In the pouring rain
Look at my face
Look at my stride
I was born from the ash
And I still got pride
[Pre-Chorus]
I was down, down, down
Now I rise, rise, rise
He took a swing at my soul
I looked him dead in the eye
I been silent too long
I been paying my dues
Now the storm in my chest
Got a holy excuse
[Chorus]
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
You won’t take me twice
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
I came back to life
(lick back)
(lick back)
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
He thought I’d fold and crack
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
Now I’m pushing back
[Bridge]
I got saints in my shout
Fire in my lungs
Every chain he threw
Turned to songs I sung
He can come with that shadow
Come with that fear
But I brought a whole church
When I step in here
Oh, I was buried, baby
But I bloomed again
Oh, I was broken, baby
Now I’m stronger than then
[Final Chorus]
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
You won’t take me twice
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
I came back to life
(lick back)
(lick back)
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
He thought I’d fold and crack
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
Now I’m pushing back
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
He lost what he attacked
Get my lick back
Get my lick back
I got my power back
