[Verse 1]
I been down bad, ate dirt for dinner
Stared at the ceiling, heard ghosts get thinner
Prayed one time, but the line felt busy
So I learned how to stand when the world got dizzy
Fire on my feet, but I walk through the brimstone
Hands still scarred from the nights I was this close
Savior on sale with a traitor in the fine print
I read that line once, left that contract silent
[Chorus]
I been to hell and back already
So don’t talk to me like I ain’t ready
I wanna be saved, yeah, from this behavior
But I don’t need saving if it comes with Judas as my savior
I been to hell and back already
So don’t talk to me like I ain’t ready
[Verse 2]
I done bled love on a cold church doorstep
Heard them say “change,” but they loved me more broken
Cross round they neck but they eyes stayed jealous
Blessings in they mouth while they pockets got swollen
So I cut out extra, trimmed all the dead weight
Turned my own pain into pressure and then plates
Now my backbone built from the storms I weathered
I don’t need a false friend tied to my forever
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If you ride with me, then ride with me
If you lie to me, you die to me
I seen halos fall right off people I fed
So I crowned myself king of the scars I bled
[crescendo] If grace comes clean, then I’ll take that favor
But I won’t shake hands with a smiling traitor
[Chorus]
