[Intro] Yeah, yeah Got a little bit of heaven, little hell in my soul Half hood, half holy — yeah, that’s how I roll Amen. [Chorus] Half Hood, Half Holy, got a cross on my chain Been through hell and back, still got God in my veins That means pray with me, but don’t play with me I got faith in my heart, but don’t test my peace Half Hood, Half Holy, got my eyes on the prize Got some scars on my soul, got some truth in my eyes I can kneel, I can fight, I can walk through the fire I was built from the struggle, got a heaven-bound desire [Verse 1] Mama said, “Boy, keep your head up high” So I talk to the Lord when the tears run dry Seen snakes wear smiles, seen the real ones fold Learned the hardest damn lessons before I grew old Got a Bible in the dash, got my past in the rear Still got a few demons that I face in the mirror I ain’t claiming I’m a saint, never said I was clean Just a sinner with a purpose and a hell of a dream I give grace where it’s due, keep my circle on lock I don’t talk big game, let the results do the talk You can judge my walk, you don’t know my road God knows my heart and the weight I hold [Chorus] Half Hood, Half Holy, got a cross on my chain Been through hell and back, still got God in my veins That means pray with me, but don’t play with me I got faith in my heart, but don’t test my peace Half Hood, Half Holy, got my eyes on the prize Got some scars on my soul, got some truth in my eyes I can kneel, I can fight, I can walk through the fire I was built from the struggle, got a heaven-bound desire [Verse 2] I know grace ain’t cheap, and respect ain’t free You can walk in the church, still be lost in the streets I seen good men break, seen bad men change Seen the sunshine fade, still believe in the rain I don’t need your approval, I got work to do Got a prayer on my lips and a point to prove If I say I got your back, then I’m standing my ground I don’t switch for a crown, I don’t fold for a crowd I’m a little bit rough, but my heart stay true Got a long list of wrongs I’m still working through So don’t mistake my silence for a soul that’s weak I got love for the world, but my boundaries deep [Bridge] Hands up high when I pray at night Feet on the ground when I stand and fight Mercy in my heart, got steel in my spine I walk my own path, but the faith stays mine [Final Chorus] Half Hood, Half Holy, let the whole world know I’ve been down in the dirt, still got room to grow That means pray with me, but don’t play with me I’m at peace with the Lord, don’t disturb my peace Half Hood, Half Holy, that’s the code I live Got a whole lot of scars, still got love to give I ain’t perfect, ain’t preaching, just a man with a soul Half hood, half holy — let the story unfold. [Outro] Amen to the struggle. Amen to the scars. Half hood, half holy. Still reaching for the stars.
