[Intro – Spoken, low, gritty, heartbeat in background]
Yeah…
They said prayer was supposed to be quiet…
But what if it sound like war?
---
[Hook – Choir + Drill Bounce]
Lord hear me roar, I ain't whisperin’ no more
Been through the fire, now I'm kickin’ down doors
Covered in grace but I came from the war
Devil been lurkin’, I ain't scared no more
Hands to the sky, but my knees on the floor
Tears turn to power, now my spirit restore
You gave me the light, I was lost in the storm
Now I walk like I know what I’m here for
---
[Verse 1 – Prayer Flow, DMX-style intensity]
Father God…
I come to you as I am, not who they wanted me to be
Not who the streets made me… who you CREATED me to be
See I done walked through hell with gasoline drawers
Smiled in pain, took hits, still broke every law
But somehow… you ain’t never let me fall too far
And I don’t understand that type of love
‘Cause I ain’t always walked like your son…
But you ain’t never stopped calling me one
So I’m here now—
Not perfect… but present
Not clean… but confessin’
Not strong… but still steppin’
---
[Bridge – Choir builds, organ rises]
Wash me… cleanse me… break every chain
Use me… build me… I won’t be the same
---
[Verse 2 – Testimony + Chicago grit]
I done seen kings fall over pride and a lie
Seen moms cry, just tryna ask God “why?”
Southside nights, sirens sing lullabies
We was dodging demons just to stay alive
But you said I was chosen—
Even when I was broken
Even when my faith felt like it was chokin’
Now I’m speakin’ life where death used to live
Turned my pain into purpose, now I GIVE what you give
---
[Breakdown – Silence + Voice]
If you never do another thing for me…
You already did enough.
---
[Final Hook – Full Choir Explosion]
Lord hear me roar, I ain't whisperin’ no more
Been through the fire, now I'm kickin’ down doors
Covered in grace but I came from the war
Devil been lurkin’, I ain't scared no more
---
[Outro – Spoken Prayer]
Protect my family…
Forgive my enemies…
Strengthen my mind…
And if I gotta walk through it…
Walk with me.
Amen.
