[Intro] Hands up Head down Mama praying I’m still around (yeah) [Verse 1] I was posted at the store Same hoodie, same war Devil in the backseat Telling me “go score” Phone full of bad plans Heart full of quick cash Knew I’d end up past tense Moving that fast Mama left oil on my doorknob Saying, “Boy, you a king, not a poor job” I laughed, but it burned on my skin Like a mark from the place I begin [Chorus] I came up out that mud, that mud (that mud) Now I’m covered in that blood, that blood (hallelujah) From the trap to the tabernacle From the block to the blessed that battle I was running with the wolves at night Now I’m walking in a different light Yeah, this that hood rap gospel anthem For the lost ones God still landing [Verse 2] Old friends still ride with the pistol I ride with a verse like a missile Still see the blue lights flash in my rearview Still feel the old me creeping, “let me near you” Got scars like street graffiti Each one preach when the hurt gets greedy If grace had a zip code It’d be my block when the church doors close I talk to the sky when I’m tired “Why you choose me out the fire?” He said, “Son, you the proof that I reached that low So the gangstas and the saints both know” [Chorus] I came up out that mud, that mud (yeah) Now I’m covered in that blood, that blood (oh) From the trap to the tabernacle From the block to the blessed that battle I was running with the wolves at night Now I’m walking in a different light Yeah, this that hood rap gospel anthem For the lost ones God still landing [Bridge] For my dog doing time upstate (free him) For my sis tryna heal from the hate (keep breathing) For the kids on the corner in pain I’m a living “you can change” (you can change) [Chorus] I came up out that mud, that mud Now I’m covered in that blood, that blood From the trap to the tabernacle From the block to the blessed that battle I was running with the wolves at night Now I’m walking in a different light Yeah, this that hood rap gospel anthem Turn the concrete to a kingdom anthem (amen)
