[Verse 1]
Wake up, taste ash on my tongue
Sunday suit, but my hands feel numb
Mama prayin' in the next room soft
While a voice in my head say “take that off” (yeah)
Halo crooked like the picture frames
Cross on my neck, still I flirt with flames
Angel say “breathe, you can change this lane”
Demon in the dark keep callin’ my name
[Chorus]
Got demons on my shoulder, angels in my ear
Pullin’ me apart, sayin’ “come right here”
One say “run,” one say “fight your fear”
I’m standin’ in the middle like a broken mirror
Demons on my shoulder, angels in my ear
Talkin’ ‘bout sin, talkin’ ‘bout sincere
If I fall down, who gon’ volunteer?
I’m standin’ in the middle, crystal clear
[Verse 2]
Late night, phone glow, wrong text sent
Temptation got teeth, leave the conscience bent
Angel say “go home, boy, this ain’t you”
Demon pour another shot, say “live your youth” (woo)
I got blood on the lace of my brand-new kicks
From the grudges that I drag through the city in a mix
Heaven on speed dial, hell in my past
Both tryna claim me, both talk fast
[Bridge]
Who I be when the choir stop singin’? (who?)
When the smoke clear and the ears stop ringin’?
If I kneel down, will the dirt let go?
If I stand tall, will the light still glow?
Hands in the air but I ain’t that holy
Heart got scars and the truth get lonely
Angel on the left say “trust that pain”
Demon on the right say “we the same”
[Chorus]
Got demons on my shoulder, angels in my ear
Pullin’ me apart, sayin’ “come right here”
One say “run,” one say “fight your fear”
I’m standin’ in the middle like a broken mirror
Demons on my shoulder, angels in my ear
Talkin’ ‘bout sin, talkin’ ‘bout sincere
If I fall down, who gon’ volunteer?
I’m standin’ in the middle, crystal clear (yeah)
