Not Today Satan (Spirits Rising Mix)

[Intro] Walk in the room like (try me) Shadow on the wall say "side with me" Laugh in its face Say "not likely" I know who rides beside me [Verse 1] You been lurkin’ on the corner of my mind Talkin’ in circles Tryna twist my spine Whisper in my ear "take the easy line" I step back Snap back Cut that wire You keep pushin’ on the bruise I hide Tryna turn my hunger into pride But I got a whole crew on my side And we don’t fold We don’t slide [Pre-Chorus] You say "fall back" I say "fall down" You want my fear? You won’t find it now [Chorus] Not today Satan You don’t get my soul You don’t get my sleep Not today Satan You can knock all you want But you don’t get me (oh-oh) I’m standin’ on a promise (oh-oh) you’re talkin’ But you’re harmless Not today Satan Take your hands off me [Verse 2] You been dancin’ in the sirens and the smoke Sellin’ little lies like a street-side joke Tryna turn my people into ghosts I turn that pressure into posts Every time you tell me I’m too late I just hear a countdown to escape I flip the script right in your face Watch you stumble outta place [Pre-Chorus] You say "give up" I say "give in?" I know where that road goes I ain’t steppin’ in [Chorus] Not today Satan You don’t get my soul You don’t get my sleep Not today Satan You can knock all you want But you don’t get me (oh-oh) I’m standin’ on a promise (oh-oh) you’re talkin’ But you’re harmless Not today Satan Take your hands off me [Bridge] [Beat drops to half-time Filtered synths Choir hums low] All my people say (no chain, no shame) All my people say (no fear, we here) All my people say (we rise, we fight) All my people say (not tonight, not tonight) [Choir Enters – Call & Response] Leader: Get behind me! Choir: Get behind! Leader: Get behind me! Choir: Get behind! Leader: You got no claim on this life of mine Choir: Get behind! Get behind! [Chorus] Not today Satan You don’t get my soul You don’t get my sleep Not today Satan You can knock all you want But you don’t get me (oh-oh) I’m standin’ on a promise (oh-oh) you’re talkin’ But you’re harmless Not today Satan Take your hands off me [Final Chorus – Full Choir] Not today Satan (hey!) we ain’t breakin’ We ain’t bowin’ We ain’t weak Not today Satan (hey!) every voice in the room on the count We speak (oh-oh) we standin’ on a promise (oh-oh) your kingdom’s lookin’ lawless Not today Satan Take your hands off Take your hands off me
