Demons On My Shoulder

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

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

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

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”

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)
