[Verse 1] Done with gods carved outta stone, Talkin’ heads with no backbone. Hit the road on a worn out trail Face to the storm - the truth don’t fail Found a place with hands that knew the grind, Tents in the day, gospel after five. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Voices rose, fists flew, But stayed when the Spirit said “Don’t move”… ⸻ [Chorus] I’m stickin’ it out—no clean escape, When trouble came, didn’t fold or fake. Some towns you leave, some you learn to face— This one carved truth lines in my face. Didn’t chase comfort, counted the cost— Stuck it out in Corinth, where lines got crossed. ⸻ [Verse 2] Synagogue turned like a rising flood, Words cut deep with a pushback thud. The house next door opened wide its gate, A space where grace could resonate. Stayed a year, maybe more or less— Scarred and steady, held by grace ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Tried to drag me out, tried to shut me down, But I planted roots in that broken ground… ⸻ [Chorus] I’m stickin’ it out—no clean escape, When trouble came, didn’t fold or fake. Some towns you leave, some you learn to face— This one carved truth lines in my face. Didn’t chase comfort, counted the cost— Stuck it out in Corinth, where lines got crossed. ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken/Gritty] “Don’t be afraid… I got people in this town.” He said that—and I stayed put. Sometimes the work ain’t in the leaving… It’s in the stayin’. ⸻ [Final Chorus] I’ll stick’ it out—when the lights go low, When the friends thin out and the hits come slow. This ain’t about flash, or bein’ well-known— It’s buildin’ what can’t be overthrown. Didn’t run once, didn’t ghost the call— Just stuck it out in that town… And I’m stronger for it all.
