V4.5

[Verse 1]
Came from a house where the walls cracked back,
Prayed with fists, took love off track.
Taught to hit, never taught to heal,
So I learned to hurt just to know what’s real
Granny said hope could lift the dead,
But all I had was pills and bread.
Never read verses, but I knew fights,
Wrote my truth in sleepless nights.
Tried church once — silence, stone,
So I built sermons out of sweat alone.
Made my pulpit on loading docks,
Preached in steel toes and busted clocks.

[Chorus]
This is white knuckle gospel, teeth on grit,
No choir, no grace, just refuse to quit.
I claw through the dark with a busted spark,
Still preach from pain like a battle mark.
I don’t let go, don’t know how to,
Hands cracked open, red cuts run through.
Grip don’t slip when you come from loss—
I hold on like I’m draggin' a cross.

[Verse 2]
They said “Cain, you changed,” you’re goddamn right,
Got sober, got straight, but I still fight.
Still too loud, still swing too fast,
Still got ghosts tryin’ to outlast.
Now I teach boys to break that chain,
Turn fury into something that ain’t shame.
Told ‘em “This world don’t owe you truth,”
So carve it with your goddamn youth.
These hands ain’t clean but they build fine,
I write in blood, not holy lines.
If redemption’s real, it better show,
I’m shoutin’ at the sky, not beggin’ low.

[Chorus]
This is white knuckle gospel, scarred and raw,
No pulpit, no light, just tooth and claw.
I fight through hell for a glimpse of light,
Still spit out grit like it keeps me right.
I don’t fold when the voices hum,
I keep swingin’ when the strength feels numb.
If there’s somethin’ out there, let it hear this:
I walked through fire and I ain’t dismissed.

[Bridge]
You want glory? Earn it in pain.
You want peace? Get dragged through the shame.
Not the kind you flee - the kind you own
When the wreckage speaks in a voice like stone
I don’t talk clean, I talk scars,
If this is gospel, it’s written in bars.

[Final Chorus]
This is white knuckle gospel, born in the pit,
No robes, no savin', just never quit.
I fight through the dirt with my name half gone,
Still writin’ my worth in a broke down song.
I ain’t pure but I ain’t done,
Still bleedin’ but I never run.
If your hands shake when the silence hits—
That’s me. That’s Cain. I never quit.

[Outro]
White knuckle gospel.
Sometimes holdin’ on is the loudest thing you can do.

Hmm-hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm...
Hmm-hmm... hmmm...
Hmm-hmm-hmm... hmm-hmm...
Hmmm...
Hmm... hmm...

[Intro] I ain’t let go yet. Not ‘cause it’s easy but ‘cause I ain’t got a choice. This ain’t hymns and halos. It’s the sound of knuckles splitting open just to hold on. White knuckle gospel. You wanna live? Then bite down and don’t let go. [Verse 1] Came from a house where the walls cracked back, Prayed with fists, took love off track.
