[Verse 1] Mama had the Bible on the dashboard Cracked leather Lil cross on the chain Block hot But her voice like water Singing over every bit of that pain Said "Boy Hold on when it get heavy" Eyes tired but her faith steady strong Every siren in the night tryna scare me But I heard another sound all along [Chorus] Melodies from heaven Falling on this broken block Singing over sirens Cutting through the gunshot pop Melodies from heaven Dripping through this busted roof If they never hear a sermon Let 'em hear my life for proof (yeah) [Verse 2] Old deacon in the back by the exit Fresh Js Got a past he don't hide Tattooed tears But his hands stay lifted Every time the choir start to rise He said "Prayer like armor in the alleys Grace like chalk lines drawn in light" We turn every corner to a chapel Turn this whole hood into a choir tonight (hey!) [Chorus] Melodies from heaven Falling on this broken block Singing over sirens Cutting through the gunshot pop Melodies from heaven Dripping through this busted roof If they never hear a sermon Let 'em hear my life for proof [Bridge] Sing for the ones in the trap house Sing for the kid on the run Sing for the tired single mothers Who been fighting since the sun first spun Hands up in the middle of the madness (hands up) We don't got much Still we rise If you listen in the cracks of the chaos You can hear that hallelujah in disguise (hallelujah) [Chorus] Melodies from heaven Falling on this broken block Singing over sirens Cutting through the gunshot pop Melodies from heaven Dripping through this busted roof If they never hear a sermon Let 'em hear my life for proof Melodies from heaven Pouring where the streets feel rough Till the whole hood singing "Grace gonna be enough"
