Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Piano + Low Strings] (Batiste hits somber yet strong chords.) November 7… Took my job, took my breath, tried to take my peace. But what God gave me? No man can release. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 Walked in work like any other day, Did my job, did my grind, did my pray. Boss called me in, eyes cold as steel, Said, “We’re letting you go,” like I wasn’t real. Sat there quiet, but the storm was loud, Thought about my kids, thought about my vows. Felt that sting deep down in my chest, Like, “Lord, really? After all these tests?” But I ain’t fold, just clenched my fist, Said, “God, I trust You through all of this.” They took the check, but can’t take the call, Purpose ain’t tied to no job at all. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook – Choir + Wayne] 🎶 November 7, the layoff psalm, But my soul stayed steady, my spirit stayed calm. You can strip my work, but God’s my bond— What’s gone is gone, but I move on. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 Left that building with my head held high, Pain in my gut but God in my sky. Devil whispered, “You ain’t enough,” But I spit back truth — “I’m built from tough.” Worry tried creeping like a thief at night, But I prayed through fear, found peace in fight. Bills in the mailbox, doubt in my view, But I’ve walked through worse — this ain’t new. I lost love, faced sickness, carried storms, Still stood tall through life’s reform. So losing a job? It ain’t my end, It’s just another place where faith begins. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Choir Stabs + Organ Swell] 🎶 God don’t drop me, God don’t change, Even when life rearrange. I’m still held in holy hands, Still walkin’ where purpose stands. 🎶 (Wayne murmurs: “They fired me… but God hired me.”) ⸻ [Hook – Full Choir] 🎶 November 7, the layoff psalm, Storm hit hard but my faith stayed strong. Identity deeper than where I belong— I rise, I fight, I carry on. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 3 – Spoken + Rap] Yeah, I hurt. I was angry. But anger ain’t bigger than the God who built me. They shut one door… but He don’t lock windows. 🎶 So I stand on truth, not how I feel, Pain is real but faith is realer still. This setback just another reveal— I don’t crumble, I heal. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Hook – Choir + Brass] 🎶 November 7, the layoff psalm, Fear tried rise but grace held on. Lost that job but God stayed strong— New chapter comin’ before too long. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Piano + Soft Drums] I ain’t unemployed— I’m reassigned. God’s timing ain’t late… it’s perfect.
