Die For Him

[Verse 1]
Flag on the porch
mud on my boots
Mama in the kitchen
whisperin' the truth
News on the screen
every headline loud
Everybody pointin' fingers
every angry crowd
I walk that line
between fear and faith
Hand on my heart
other hand on grace
They talk about borders
like lines on a map
But hearts get colder
when you talk like that
[Chorus]
I love my country
I’d kill for my blood
But my God knows
I’d die in His flood
They ain’t gonna win
all this hate they spin
If I gotta lose my life
just to save my soul
I’m in, I’m in
[Verse 2]
Stories in the yard
from my old man’s days
Talked about battlefields
smoke and blaze
Said, “Son, there’s an enemy
inside your chest
If you don’t fight that one
you’ll fail every test”
I see new faces
movin’ on my block
Kids playin’ soccer
on the gravel lot
Some pray different
some talk strange
But bullets fly quicker
when you fear change
[Bridge]
Who told us
we gotta live in war
When the hurt we start
comes back to our door
Every war story
makes another ghost
And God don’t smile
when we brag the most (nah)
[Chorus]
I love my country
I’d kill for my blood
But my God knows
I’d die in His flood
They ain’t gonna win
all this hate they spin
If I gotta lose my life
just to save my soul
I’m in, I’m in
[Outro]
They ain’t gonna win
when I kneel, not bend
If it all burns down
I’m His to the end
I love my people
I stand for the land
But I answer to God
before I answer to man

rap, Moody atmospheric trap, sparse minor-key keys over deep 808 swells and ticking hi-hats. Verses spoken in an intense, close-mic male vocal, ad-libs drenched in reverb. Chorus lifts with choir-like pads and layered harmonies, then drops back into a narrow, paranoid pocket; subtle risers and distant gunshot FX for cinematic tension., country, beats
