(Soft, melodic — almost whispered)
Mmm…
Yeah…
Keep your head strong…
⸻
(Verse 1 — floaty, reflective, melodic undertone)
The devil ain’t your friend, that boy ain’t never been,
He been twistin’ up the truth since you was younger than ten.
Made you sleep next to your fears, called ‘em comfort again,
And you believed it ‘cause the hurt was feelin’ closer than Him.
You laid your sword down, heart tired, sayin’ “maybe I’m done,”
Thought surrender was survival but the war just begun.
He been extortin’ you, distortin’ you, disguisin’ the sun,
Tryna steal away your trust before your trust can become.
You got played—
Master manipulator knowin’ just what you crave,
Whispered lies inside the wounds that you never displayed.
Generational kinda traps that your grandmama prayed
Your kids would never have to taste, but you tasted the blade.
Addiction, abandonment, all the tricks in his book,
Tryna shape the way you think so you don’t look where you should.
Make you crown yourself as god ‘cause no authority stood,
But that was trauma drivin’ choices that he said were your own.
Mmm… he twisted you good.
⸻
(Hook — soft, melodic, Hunger on Hillside–style)
But you can heal still…
Keep your head strong…
God’ll show you who you are, where you belong.
Kick the lies out…
Tell the pain “be gone.”
You a child of the King, that’s your theme song.
Yeah… you can heal still.
⸻
(Verse 2 — calm, wise, almost conversational)
If he can plant that shame deep enough to feel like your name,
You gon’ walk like it’s your nature though you know it’s a chain.
He been callin’ it “identity” to keep you the same,
But once the truth hit your spirit you start breakin’ the frame.
See, God call you daughter — yeah — God call you son,
He see the wreck Satan planned but He ain’t losin’ not one.
He gon’ train you through the battle ‘til the enemy run,
Turn your territory back into a place where He’s won.
He gon’ show you all the lies you been swallowin’ whole,
Heal the trauma you been callin’ “just a part of your soul.”
You an ambassador of Spirit, that’s a heavenly role,
Helpin’ others taste the freedom that the devil stole.
There’s a war for your mind, for your will, for your heart,
But the moment you see truth, that’s the moment you start.
We were born for this time — we were chosen, set apart —
Year of truth, year of strength, year of light in the dark.
Yeah… keep your head strong.
⸻
(Hook — extended, more melodic like Cole’s outro)
You can heal still…
Keep your head strong…
Even when the storm hit, hold your faith long.
God’ll rebuild…
Everything that’s gone—
Every lie that was planted gon’ get torn down.
Mmm…
Keep your head strong.
This the year of truth…
Yeah, we born for this song.
