[Intro]
Red sky
Cold floor
Hands up
I want more
[Verse 1]
I been walking through the fire with a cracked halo
Told the preacher that my shadow got a black payload
Every scar another sermon that the streets gave though
Every loss another lesson that I can’t say no
I was raised on the rage in my dad’s eyes
Mama praying while I played with the landmines
Heart heavy like a judge with a bad side
Every day another body on the back slide
I got demons doing pushups in my rib cage
Breath smell like gunpowder, I’ve been this way
Whole block turned altar when the fists raised
Born again in the fuse when the wick blazed
I don’t worship any saint, I just sip pain
Turn the thunder in my chest into big rain
If you standing in my way, you a quick stain
Every thought like a shot in the sick brain
[Chorus]
Let the devil out, let the devil out
All this pressure in my chest, I’ma level out
I was baptized in the blood and the bad news
Now I’m born again burning in the black fuse
Let the devil out, let the devil out
Hear the choir in my head when the metal shout
I was baptized in the fire and the bad news
Now I’m born again burning in the black fuse
[Verse 2]
City full of chalk lines, I just call it art
Every echo in the alley like a broken heart
I been talking to the void, it been talking back
Told me “open up the cage, never walk it back”
So I cracked every lock on my insides
Turned calm to a storm when the pen slides
I see halos on the gang when they spin by
Every sinner in my circle got a thin line
Between prayer and a plan for the payback
Between faith and the flame when it stay black
I don’t cry, I just carve out
