Guardian Angel

Angel been day one since the first crack showed, Since the moment when the rest turned and let him go, Solid like foundation—when the weight get cold He don't break, he just bend and hold. Never asked for flowers, never took receipt, Showed up in the dark when it taste like grief, Hands out, eyes clear, keep the sick relief, Angel walking steady through the fall of leaves. In the small shit too—the 2 AM texts, The "you straight?" that land different than the rest, Angel in the corner when the roof compress, Catching people falling, turning doubt to yes. Pre-Chorus This the one, this the one, When the light don't come and the will is gone, This the one that stay, goddamn. Chorus Angel, day one, real proof, When the world turn ice, he the warm roof, Angel, day one, he knew How to stay when staying's the hardest thing to do. Verse 2 Nah, it ain't about wings and halo shit, It's how he move through the storm like the storm ain't it, Deliberate, careful, like he know— Presence alone is a kind of glow. Never did the drama, never did the game, Just collected people, hold 'em the same— Rich, broke, broken, sane, Angel got gravity, pull you from the rain. Seen him turn away from the loud crowd noise, But never turn away from that lost boy, That one person need him, that's his choice, Angel building kingdom, barely raise his voice. Pre-Chorus This the one, this the one, When the battle long and you think you done, This the one that say "come on." Chorus Angel, day one, real proof, When the world turn ice, he the warm roof, Angel, day one, he knew How to stay when staying's the hardest thing to do. Bridge He never claimed perfect, never try and hide, Just a person show up when you need that ride, And that's the grace right there, that's the thing we see— Angel the example of what people be. Verse 3 So we call him Angel not 'cause he got wings, But his presence take the edge off things, Make the load lighter, make the hope ring, Make the darkness less dark, goddamn, that's everything. Day one energy that last till the end, More than a brother, more than a friend, He the stone the house is built in, Angel steady, day one, day one, day one, win. Outro Angel, day one, day one, Angel stay the one.
