[Intro]
(yeah… fuck it)
Ain’t no wings on me, no savior, no saint…
Just blood in my mouth and rage in my veins…
[Verse 1]
They want a holy man, I came straight from the dirt,
Every scar on my body is a badge of the hurt.
I don’t pray to the sky, that shit never replied,
I just sharpen my blade on the pain I survived.
Fuck a halo, I burn where I stand,
Got a deal with my demons and they shook my hand.
If heaven got a gate, it ain’t meant for me,
I’ll torch that bitch down just to set myself free.
[Hook]
No halo, no wings on my name,
I’m a sinner with a pen and a soul full of flame.
No halo, can’t cover my pain,
But I’ll crown my own head from the ash and the shame.
[Verse 2]
I’ve been baptized in liquor, raised up by the streets,
Where the cops look away, and the hustlers don’t sleep.
Every night I’m at war with the man in the glass,
He’s a ghost with a grudge and a blade in his grasp.
Don’t paint me in white, I’m the color of sin,
Every verse that I spit got the devil within.
If the angels won’t take me, I don’t fucking care,
I’ll build my own throne in the smoke and despair.
[Hook]
No halo, no wings on my name,
I’m a sinner with a pen and a soul full of flame.
No halo, can’t cover my pain,
But I’ll crown my own head from the ash and the shame.
[Bridge] (beat drops dark, whispers echo)
Every scar is a scripture, every curse is a prayer,
And my church is the struggle, ain’t no mercy in there.
If God turned his back, then I’ll carve out my fate,
With a fist full of rage and a heart full of hate.
[Verse 3]
No forgiveness in the mirror but I won’t fucking break,
I was built in the fire from the loss and the hate.
Call me a sinner, call me a bastard, I’ll still wear the crown,
‘Cause a king with no halo still runs this town.
[Final Hook / Outro]
No halo, no wings on my name,
I’m a sinner with a pen and a soul full of flame.
No halo, can’t cover my pain,
But I’ll crown my own head from the ash and the shame.
No halo… (fuck it)
Still I rise from the flame…
