Prompt / Lyrics
9 toes down, baby… I’m standin’ for God… Yeah… Branson, MO… infection on the 4th… Thought it’d drop me… But it can’t stop me… It won’t stop me… The devil is a liar… Cuz God’s got me…
(soft laugh) He gon’ be mad he touched me…

Foot wrapped up, still I walk through the valley, Dragging this pain like a chain in the alley. I ain’t supposed to be here — guess purpose is heavy, I’m talkin’ to God like, “Why you testin’ me steady?”
My mind gets foggy, my vision gets blurry, This world movin’ fast but I ain’t in a hurry. Got angels above me that ride with no worry, But demons behind me that stalk and they scurry.
God, I’m here — but I’m lost in the map, Tryna trust in Your hands while I’m caught in the trap. You said You’d take care — and I’m holdin’ You to that, But these days feel darker than the deepest of blacks.
I’m tired of the torment, the planet is burnin’, I’m tired of the wicked, these tables ain’t turnin’. Your children are cryin’, their voices are churnin’, And I’m tryna keep faith when the whole world’s hurtin’

God, it’s gettin’ kinda bad out here… Yeah it's gettin’ kinda bad out here… We need You to show up somehow… We need You in our life right now… Please… Please…


9 toes down, imma stand for the Lord, 9 toes down, imma ride for the Lord, If I fall to the ground, imma cry to the Lord, If I die on the ground, imma rise with the Lord.
9 toes down — still I’m stomp-stomp-stompin’, Pain in my step but my faith ain't droppin’. Devil tried to take me — now he’s the one watchin’, Cuz every time I bleed, God turns it to a doctrine.

My enemies can talk, Let 'em chatter, let 'em mock, Let 'em drag me down the block — They ain’t changin’ how I walk.
Cuz my God stay at the top, He let me sling little rocks, While I’m standin’ on The Rock, Watch the serpents gather flocks.
He said, “Leave the 99, Gotta go and find the one.” So I’m searchin’ in the grime, With a Bible and a drum.
Shadows lurkin’ in my spine, Whispers crawl into my lungs, But my Father cut the line, He the voice I overcome.
Pick life or death — He gave me the choice. My enemies roar — But I hear His voice. My enemies scheme — But I still rejoice. The world try to drown — But it can’t kill the noise.

Cuz God, I need You… Yeah I need You right now… This world is bleedin’… And we’re down on the ground…
Show up… Show up… Show up somehow… We need You… We need You right now…


9 toes down, imma stand for the Lord, 9 toes down, imma cry for the Lord, Imma die for the Lord, imma rise for the Lord, Through the fire and the storm, yeah I fight for the Lord.
9 toes down — infected but walkin’, Pain in my step but my spirit ain’t stoppin’. Satan touched me once — now he’s sick he ever knocked in, Cuz God turned my wounds into power when they popped in.

I’m standin’… Still standin’… Still standin’ for God… Nine toes down… And the last one ain’t fallin’…
