Sickle Cell Warrior
[Intro] Born into pain Still we rise up steady (yeah) This that warrior song That sickle cell hood melody [Verse 1] Middle of the night Mom prayin’ by the bed Eyes swollen Cold sweat Slow breath Doc say the crisis just rollin’ But I’m built like steel Even when my hands keep shakin’ Got scars on my arms Proof of every time God saved me [Chorus] I’m a warrior Blood-bought soldier Covered in the blood My fight ain’t over (hey!) Storms in my veins but my God’s still closer Walkin’ through the fire I’m a holy soldier I’m a warrior Pain can’t own me Jesus in my corner when the nights get lonely (yeah) Devil say I’m weak but my King says “chosen” Sickle cell hood melody We still glowin’ [Verse 2] Missed days from school They laughed Said I’d never catch up But I passed those tests Even when my body screamed “give up” Pops work two jobs Pills on the table like raindrops But we still give thanks Even if the payday came late [Chorus] I’m a warrior Blood-bought soldier Covered in the blood My fight ain’t over Storms in my veins but my God’s still closer Walkin’ through the fire I’m a holy soldier (oh yeah) I’m a warrior Pain can’t own me Jesus in my corner when the nights get lonely Devil say I’m weak but my King says “chosen” Sickle cell hood melody We still glowin’ [Bridge] This for the kids in the hallway Holdin’ in tears ‘cause it hurt to breathe This for the moms on the subway Countin’ out change for the next IV Lift that head You’re not broken Every wound God’s hand has seen You’re a walking Talkin’ token Of a Savior who don’t miss a thing (yeah, yeah) [Chorus] We’re warriors Blood-bought soldiers Covered in the blood Our fight ain’t over Storms in our veins but our God’s still closer Walkin’ through the fire We’re holy soldiers We’re warriors Pain can’t own us Jesus in our corner when the nights get loner Devil say we’re weak but our King says “chosen” Sickle cell hood melody We still glowin’ (still glowin’) [Outro] From the block to the clinic We survive Every breath Every step Still alive By His stripes By His love We are free Sickle cell hood melody That’s our creed
