Verse 1 Backroad rumors raised me up Low lifes get what they deserve Blue on your collar don’t make the cut They told me blessed ones live on hilltops Where big dogs count what they own Broke hands take long hard roads back home Verse 2 I wore that weight like a sentence Like a name I can’t outrun Head down, learning silence Small was all I’d become Those men towered over me Voices loud and sure Then a whisper split the thunder You don’t have to act like poor Chorus It hit me like rain on a tin roof Like a match struck in a midnight room All the things they called certain Fell apart like worn out truth I’m not cursed with empty pockets I’m not lost with hands still rough The lie lives only if you let it And I’d finally had enough Verse 3 Pride shouts loud like a preacher Selling fear in a pressed-up suit Tells the weak to stay at the bottom Says strong men never lose But the kingdom don’t bow to dollars Grace don’t check accounts Small in the eyes of power ‘s big when heaven comes down Chorus It hit me like rain on a tin roof Like a match struck in a midnight room All the things they called certain Fell apart like worn out truth I’m not cursed with empty pockets I’m not lost with hands still rough The lie lives only if you let it And I’d finally had enough Bridge Blessed ain’t just the wealthy More than a seat on top Beat down soul, look up now Loved no matter what you got Men stood up from shadows Light where shame once stayed Learned the voice they believed in Never had a right to their name Chorus It hit me like rain on a tin roof Like a match struck in a midnight room All the things they called certain Fell apart like worn out truth I’m not cursed with empty pockets I’m not lost with hands still rough The lie lives only if you let it And I’d finally had enough Final Chorus Poor never meant forgotten Poor never meant you weren’t enough All the things they called certain Just weren’t addin’ up You’re not cursed with empty pockets You’re not lost with hands still rough The lie lives only if you let it And I’d finally had enough Outro Lord, I need your freedom Oh Lord, I need your freedom Yes I need that freedom Cause I’ve finally had enough Lord, I need your freedom Yes Lord, I need that freedom Lord give me your freedom Cause I’ve had enough
