I Don’t Care
Verse 1 (Blues)
I don’t care about the shade of your skin
Or the name they wrote you in
Same breath in your lungs, same dirt on my shoes
Same broken world, same good news
We were all carved by a holy hand
Trying to stand where mercy stands
Verse 2 (Blues)
I don’t care for the words you throw
When anger’s all you know
God gave us hearts, yeah, that’s the truth
But they gotta bend if they’re gonna move
Love don’t shout, it listens first
Before it heals, it hurts
Chorus (Gospel)
I don’t care what the world calls right
I’m walking in a different light
I don’t care if you’re wrong or right
I’ll love you through the longest night
Don’t mistake my quiet prayer
For apathy or empty air
If I say I don’t care out loud
It’s ‘cause I care too deep to shout
Verse 3 (Blues)
I don’t care how you live your life
Or the choices you call right
Just don’t lay them at my door
While I’m kneeling on this floor
I’m trying to live by sacred lines
One hard truth at a time
Rap Break (Low, Spoken)
I don’t care for division, nah, I seen it fail
Everybody shouting truth, but scared of the veil
Red or blue, same blood in the street
Same prayers whispered when we hit our knees
Purple ain’t a color, it’s a state of mind
Where love shows up before the pride
I ain’t perfect, I just stay aligned
With a cross that carried all mankind
Chorus (Gospel)
I don’t care what the world calls right
I’m walking in a different light
I don’t care if you’re wrong or right
I’ll love you through the longest night
Don’t mistake my quiet prayer
For apathy or empty air
If I say I don’t care out loud
It’s ‘cause I care too deep to shout
Bridge (Blues → Gospel build)
If you see me and you understand
Why I live by another plan
You’ll see faith don’t close the door
It loves you more, not less than before
Outro (Half Sung / Half Spoken)
I don’t care about the noise or flair
I care if your soul’s still there
Christ in me, that’s how I move
That’s the proof, yeah, that’s the truth
So if I say I don’t care today
Hear the love in what I say
