[Intro – Spoken, reflective tone over gospel hums] Yeah… You either pray or you pay for your sins But sometimes… You ain’t got no choice. [Chorus – Soulful female vocal] I walk the line between saints and sinners, Tryna make it out but the night gets thinner, Lights go dim and the heart gets cold, Tell me how I’m supposed to save my soul… [Verse 1 – Rap, slow and heavy] I was raised where the sirens never sleep, Where the hustlers grind and the angels weep. Mama lit candles but I lit flames, Tryna eat while dodgin’ these hunger games. Bible in one hand, burner in the other, One voice said "run," the next said "brother." I seen friends turn ghosts in the blink of an eye, Now they murals on the wall while their mommas cry. [Chorus – Full choir harmonies + strings] I walk the line between saints and sinners, Tryna make it out but the night gets thinner, Lights go dim and the heart gets cold, Tell me how I’m supposed to save my soul… [Verse 2 – Rap] This concrete raised me, hard and hollow, Blood in the cracks of the road I follow. I learned to pray in the silence between Gun clicks, quick hits, and a neighborhood scream. [Rapid-Fire Section] [Rapid-Fire] I’ve been runnin’ with the pain in my veins like venom, Dark in my brain, gotta train this rhythm, Talk to the night but the night don’t listen, Caught in a fight with a mind that’s missin’, Step through the fire and I don’t get burned, Lesson in the streets and the rules I learned, God in my head but the devil just grinned, Locked in a loop and I spin and spin… [Bridge – Spoken + breakdown beat] I ain’t perfect. But I’m still here. Still walkin’. Still searchin’ for light in this hell of a life. [Final Chorus – Soaring, emotional peak] This is my cross, this is my crown, I walk with ghosts, I hold my ground, Lights go dim and the soul gets cold, But I still fight to save my soul.
