Blood on the Bible

Yeah

I was raised in the war

Ink on my skin

Blood on the Bible

Used to serve work by the schoolyard fence

Whole block bent, we were all past tense

Mama said “pray,” I was praying for a plug

Now I lay hands on the sick, that’s love (yeah)

Court dates, cold plates, nights in a cell

Thought I knew the code, I was cozy with hell

Devil had a lien on my name, on my breath

Then the King came, kicked in, snatched me from death (hey!)

Blood on the Bible, scars on my knuckles

I don’t run from the smoke, my God love the struggle

Walk through the valley, I don’t buckle

Lion of Judah in the jungle

Hands in the air, that’s a stick-up, praise

Old me gone, see the grave get raised

Gang for the Gospel, all my brothers saved

Blood on the Bible, I ain’t ever gonna fade

Holy on my chest where the chain used to hang

Still from the block but I bang for the Lamb

Tatted up arms, I remember every night

Now the same hands lift when we worship in the light (woah)

Ops still talking, I just bless that noise

Ain’t pressed by a threat when I’m backed by His voice

Devil want smoke? I got Scripture for the beef

Every bar cut deep like a blade in a sheath (shh)

Blood on the Bible, scars on my knuckles

I don’t run from the smoke, my God love the struggle

Walk through the valley, I don’t buckle

Lion of Judah in the jungle

Hands in the air, that’s a stick-up, praise

Old me gone, see the grave get raised

Gang for the Gospel, all my brothers saved

Blood on the Bible, I ain’t ever gonna fade
