[Verse 1] I grew up on cracked CDs Hand-me-down sneaks, ripped black tees Mama praying over late-night fights Me and my crew chasing wrong, felt right Graffiti name on the liquor store wall Heart on my sleeve, back to the wall Teacher said, “Kid, you’ll lose control” I said, “That’s the plan, I’m rap ’n’ roll” [Chorus] Love, hate and rap ’n’ roll Tattooed truth on a busted soul Can’t choose halos, can’t choose horns I bless my scars like they’re uniforms Love, hate and rap ’n’ roll I burn, I bleed, I rock, I flow Turn that pain into something bold Love, hate and rap ’n’ roll [Verse 2] Kiss from a saint, text from the plug Bible in the bag with the half-empty jug I say I’m done, then I’m back on stage Halo in the smoke, horns in the rage I want peace, but I love that roar Crowd like a wave when they beg for more Angel on my left says, “Save your soul” Devil on the right says, “Rap ’n’ roll” [Chorus] [Bridge] I ain’t pure, but I’m honest Heart heavy, but I’m on it If I crash, make a drum from the wreck Beat that drum till there’s love in my chest [crescendo] [Chorus]
