It Don’t Stick

[Intro] Mark me up It don't stick Write me down It don't hit It don't stick It don't hit Called it expelled I call it free [Verse 1] Put my name on blast Like that made it facts But my name ain't yours You can't take that back You know why I left You know what I sent Called it expelled But that ain't what it meant Had my resignation Had the reason in ink Still changed the story Like I couldn't think [Pre-Chorus] Dress it up clean Still don't make it light Write what you want Still don't make it right [Chorus] Mark me up It don't stick Write me down It don't hit It don't stick It don't hit Called it expelled I call it free [Verse 2] All that shine out front Locked words in the back They show you the glow But they don't show you that Smile for the pictures Whisper what it means Call it sisterhood But hide what's underneath Sprinkle in a verse Make it sound like light But if you don't know the Word You might bless the night Letters looked high Till the Word got plain What looked like honor Started looking like chains [Pre-Chorus] Held out the letters Like I had no name Wrapped it in honor Like it was not a chain [Chorus] Mark me up It don't stick Write me down It don't hit It don't stick It don't hit Called it expelled I call it free [Post-Chorus] That list don't tell the truth It tells on you That list don't tell the truth It tells on you [Rap] They called it legacy God broke the chain They said lifetime Jesus called my name I won't pass it down For three letters and a line The Word got clear I left it behind Some sent the letters Some cut the ties They knew the secrets Still sold the lie Pinned shame on us Like we had to wear it God spoke the truth And the mark couldn't stay there Thought it was punishment Thought I would hide But God gets the last word Every single time That list tells on them God made it my proof It don't tell the truth It just tells on you Keep that record It can't move me Keep the colors I know who made the light They wrote down shame But the shame ain't mine I walked out free With my head held high [Bridge] I saw the church give cover Like cover made it right But titles don't move the Word And darkness don't turn light No rank, no robe, no letter Gets to move Your Word If Your Word already spoke I don't need one more word [Final Chorus] Mark me up It don't stick Write me down It don't hit It don't stick It don't hit Called it expelled I call it free [Outro] My name ain't yours My name is His Mark me up It don't stick Write me down It don't hit God gets the last word Every single time Called it expelled I call it free
