[verse 1] whole army froze, i walked forward, what, armor didn't fit, took it off, so what, five smooth stones and a sling, that's enough, nine feet of bronze screamin, “boy, you're gettin cut,” i said i'm comin with the NAME, shut it up, you bring the sword, the spear, the shield, the bluff, i bring the God that made your mother, what, one stone, forehead, face first in the stuff, drew the sword you wore, you're dead, now who's talkin tough? (WOOOH) [verse 2] rewind, picture this, i was least of these, daddy had eight sons, seven at the feast, prophet at the table said, “it's none of these,” “there's one more, but he's out with the sheep,” same blood, same house, not a single seat, but the oil hit different when it found the least, and the least found out he was the masterpiece, counted out, kept count, never missed a beat, they didn't see the teeth, didn't see the scars, didn't see me stand my ground against the charge, didn't see the bear, just the kid in the dark, head down, hands scarred, pluckin at the harp, were the same that ripped a lion's jaw apart, if you think i'm playin, ask the giant 'bout the ending of his arc, (WOOOH) . [hook] i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOOH) [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOH) . [verse 3] [driving double-time, heavy beat] now here's where it gets heavy, better listen, giant hit the dirt, but the crown was still missin, first came the caves and the chase, the suspicion, king who loved my worship tried to kill his own musician, played him psalms on monday, dodged his javelin on wednesday, that's the section of the message they forget in every testimon-ay, in the gap between the oil and the throne, with a promise in your head, another night out on your own, runnin for your life, no place to sleep, no way of gettin home, . from the dark into the ink, from the ink into the scripture, let it sit a second, let it settle, get the picture, at his lowest, still composing what became the literature, words that reached across the generations, every listener, every broken voice that found a little hope inside a verse, how's that for a signature, your pain put into words, . [building] yeah i know the wait, i know the weight, i know the ache, between the promise and the day, between anointed and the gate, when you're bendin, almost breakin, everybody thinks you're fakin, and you're prayin, barely hangin, still you wake and keep on makin one more step, another breath, with every little bit of faith, 'cause the voice that said you'd make it never said how long it'd take, (WOOOH) . [hook] i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOOH) [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOH) . [bridge] [choir builds underneath] they anointed me in secret, but the fruit gon be public, the table didn't seat me, but the throne was never subject to the opinions of the brothers, or the madness of a puppet king, while the shepherd boy was building cathedrals out of suffering, . turned the cave into a sanctuary, turned the dark into a testimony, turned the years they meant to bury me, into the foundation of the story, . and i'm pressin, and i'm pressin, and i'm pressin, and i'm pressin, (WOOOH) . [verse 4] [stripped back, just voice and kick] this ain't motivation, this ain't self-help, this is a boy who stood in a throne room by himself, looked around at every wall, every crown, every belt, and realized, . [spoken, slow] oh. i was always supposed to be here. . [final hook - everything drops, massive] i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i got that shepherd boy energy, that slay a lion with my hands type intensity. [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOOH) [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. (WOOOH) . [outro - choir fading, muffled radio returns] [low voice] imma imma imma imma giant killer. [whispered] ...giant killer. [radio static fades]
