[spoken Intro] To all my people Tip your hats, check your hearts now [pause] [Verse 1] I ain’t telling you to bail I ain’t saying lose your fire I’m just wondering when compassion got replaced with who’s a liar Everybody got a verse everybody got a post Everybody talking kindness ’til it’s someone they don’t know We all fall, we all crack that’s the story that we preach But somehow when it’s someone else we forget what grace can reach Raise a finger on a timeline hide the mirror from our eyes Sing forgiveness in the choir then talk trash once we outside [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I’m wrong maybe I don’t understand But if love is really first why’s judgment got the louder hand? [Chorus] You sing grace but you don’t give none Shout love but you pick someone Build walls then you watch ’em run Tell me—is that what we’ve become? I ain’t throwing stones I’m just saying look around If this life means mercy why we tearing people down? I’m not fighting faith I’m just asking what we’ve done When the story started healing but the people started judging [Verse 2] He was sitting at the table with the folks they all dismissed Now we standing at the doorway checking names off some list Quick to call out every flaw slow to own the ones inside Got a spotlight for their mess and a curtain for our pride And I know there’s good hearts this ain’t everybody here Some folks really walk the talk they make the picture clear But if truth can’t take a question what are we defending then? ’Cause conviction should bring mending not another bitter end [Bridge] Maybe the problem ain’t belief Maybe it’s what we choose to prove When we love being right so much We forget what love is meant to do [Final Chorus] You sing grace but you don’t give none Shout love but you pick someone Say “come as you are” till they finally come Then suddenly they’re not enough I ain’t against faith I just miss what it was Open doors, open hearts not deciding who belongs If we all need mercy then maybe that’s where it starts Put the mirror in our hands before we point into the dark
