[Verse 1] They said I fell off They said I fell hard Saw my name on they tongue Saw my face in the dark Mama prayed in the kitchen Hands shaking on the plate Said “If they build you a prison God gon’ build you a gate” I was lost in my pride I was numb in my fame Had a crown made of lies Had a house made of blame Looked up Had to kneel down Tears all on my hands Felt that voice in my chest say “This ain’t where you stand” [Chorus] I’m back again Had to break Had to bend Now I’m back again (yeah) Took my shame to the flame Now it’s ash in the wind If you turned on me then You gon’ watch me ascend I’m back again Not a ghost Not a rumor I’m flesh again All the dirt on my name couldn’t stain my skin I was gone for a while But I’m back again [Verse 2] They was scrolling through my sins Like a Sunday feed Every comment said “cancel” Every friend said “leave” Had to sleep with my thoughts Like a stranger in my bed Every “what if” whispering Every fear in my head Then my daughter drew a heart With my name in the middle Said “Daddy Don’t stop God still fix the brittle” So I tore up the script That they wrote for my ending Took the cross Took the scars Turned my fall into blessing [Chorus] I’m back again Had to break Had to bend Now I’m back again (oh yeah) Took my shame to the flame Now it’s ash in the wind If you turned on me then You gon’ watch me ascend I’m back again Not a ghost Not a rumor I’m flesh again All the dirt on my name couldn’t stain my skin I was gone for a while But I’m back again [Bridge] Who are you to say I’m finished? (who are you?) Who are you to close my book? Only God can call it over Only Heaven got that look If you see me walking different It’s that mercy on my step If you hear me talk repentant It’s ’cause grace paid my debt [Chorus] I’m back again Had to break Had to bend Now I’m back again Took my shame to the flame Now it’s ash in the wind If you turned on me then You gon’ watch me ascend I’m back again Yeah I stumbled I struggled I fell I bled But the One who revived me gon’ raise me again Say it once Say it twice I am back again
