[Intro – spoken] You say you’re under attack. I just stopped lying to keep the peace. [Verse 1] You say faith when I hear distance, truth when I hear a choice, you say you’re under pressure, say you don’t have a voice— Say you’re being silenced, but you’re still the loudest voice. You talk like love’s a battlefield, like I came armed with hate, but all I did was draw a line where I could finally breathe—then leave. You say I changed like that’s the crime, like growth is something to repent, but I didn’t wake up wanting exile, I woke up tired of being bent. [Hook] I’m not the devil, I’m your child. I didn’t come for your belief, I just wanted to survive. I’m not the devil, never was. You made an enemy of love. [Verse 2] You frame yourself as persecuted, say the world’s out for your kind, but I’m right here, flesh and blood, still the thing you won’t defend or mind. You say boundaries feel like punishment, like love should never say no, but love that needs control to breathe already let the truth go. You picked a god that looks like fear, called it standing up for right, but you didn’t lose your faith that day— you just chose it over my life. [Hook] I’m not the devil, I’m your child. You don’t get to make me evil just to keep your doctrine mild. I’m not the devil, never was. You made an enemy of love. [Verse 3] And now there’s smaller ears listening, learning who gets believed, watching who love makes room for and who it asks to leave. I won’t teach her fear dressed up as doctrine, or truth that needs a fight, she’ll know love doesn’t flinch or shout to prove that it’s right. Say you’re being silenced, but you’re still the loudest voice— I’m teaching her the difference between power and a choice. [Outro – spoken] You say you’re being attacked. But I’m the one you walked away from.
