[Intro]
[Choir humming, distant, then rising]
(Yeah)
(Okay)
[Verse 1]
Used to pray for peace, now I pray for aim
I was eating crumbs, now I carve my name
Stomach talking loud, had to flip that pain
Turned a half into a habit, then I broke them chains
They was quiet when I slept in the same clothes
Same socks, same block, in the same cold
Now they hands out, saying that we came close
Funny how they love you when the frame gold (woo)
I remember mama with the late fees
Shame in her eyes, had to break free
Devil in my ear, said it’s safe, please
Now I keep a Bible and a blade in the same jeans (yeah)
I ain’t come to play, I came war ready
Heart heavy, still I keep the course steady
You can feel the pressure when the Lord test me
If they coming for my soul, better send plenty (ayy)
[Chorus]
(Female lead + choir)
Bless my enemies
If they talking on my name, let ’em see what it wake in me
Rain on my memories
Wash the blood up off my hands, keep the crown where it’s made to be
I got angels on the left side
Demons on the right, but I still ride (still ride)
So bless my enemies
’Cause the hate only turn to my energy (my energy)
[Verse 2]
(Male lead)
You gon’ make me turn humble into headline
You gon’ make me turn forgiveness to a flatline
I was tryna let it slide, give it bedtime
Now I got ’em checking every shadow like it’s deadline (ayy)
They was laughing when I only had change
Now they faces go blank when they hear my last name
Every scar on my arm, that’s a badge from the flames
I ain’t running from the smoke, I was raised in the haze
If they plotting, let ’em plot, I get closer to God
Every shot that they drop just exposing they heart
Every lock on the door just provoking the spark
Turn a “no” to a “yes,” turn the light through the dark
I don’t bargain with the fear, I just walk through
I been loyal to the soil that I fought through
If they wishing that I fall, that’s a strong move
Hope they prayin’ just as hard when I haunt you (brr)
[Chorus]
(Female lead + male ad-libs)
Bless my enemies
If they talking on my name, let ’em see what it wake in me (let it wake)
Rain on my memories
Wash the blood up off my hands, keep the crown where it’s made to be (keep it on)
I got angels on the left side
Demons on the right, but I still ride (I still ride)
So bless my enemies
’Cause the hate only turn to my energy (my energy, yeah)
[Bridge]
(Female + male call-and-response, choir swelling)
If they curse me (let ’em curse)
Turn it to a blessing (to a blessing)
If they doubt me (let ’em doubt)
Watch the flood when I’m pressing (when I’m pressing)
Every word that they spit
Let it fall at my feet
I got fire in my chest
And a choir in my teeth (ahh)
[Chorus]
(Female lead, full choir, male ad-libs)
Bless my enemies
If they talking on my name, let ’em see what it wake in me (wake in me)
Rain on my memories
Wash the blood up off my hands, keep the crown where it’s made to be (made to be)
I got angels on the left side
Demons on the right, but I still ride (still ride, still ride)
So bless my enemies
’Cause the hate only turn to my energy (my energy, yeah)
