[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Backseat prayers
Mouth full of doubt, still I say ’em
Tears on this leather
Tryna hold it together
[Verse 1]
Seatbelt on but I feel thrown
Scrolling names I can’t call on my phone
Mama say “baby, you strong, you grown”
But she ain’t hear the way my thoughts turn stones
Late rent, late calls, early worries
Eating drive-thru, dreams in a hurry
Got a Bible in the dash, still cussin’ at the past
Smile on the ’Gram, in the mirror I crash
[Chorus]
Backseat prayers, talking to the sky
Eyes wide open, asking God why
Laugh through the hurt, I won’t let it show
Sad little heart with a backbone of gold
I been down bad, but I still don’t fold
Yeah, I still don’t fold
[Verse 2]
He said forever, then he left in a week
Now his hoodie just another ghost on my seat
I forgive, then I bleed, then repeat, then repeat
Got a million little “sorry”s underneath my feet
[whispered vocals] I break, I break
But I bounce right back, won’t fake
Turn my pain to a plan, to a plate
Feed my people every win that I taste
[Bridge]
[beat drops low]
If they knew the things I carry
Would they say I’m ordinary?
Every scar, every secret I bury
Got me walking like my name legendary
[beat slams back in]
Hands in the air when the hook come on
Sing my hurt like a victory song (oh yeah)
Every tear that I let fall down
Just another reason they gon’ say my name out loud
[Chorus]
