[Verse 1] Same crease in the floor, head down on command Mouth full of somebody else’s plan Asked the quiet for a crack in the script Got the speaker on the block and the rain on the brick Stood up, knees screaming, latch off the gate Walk like I’m free with the sequence still taped To the spine, to the tongue, to the clock in the bone You can leave the room and still not make it home [Hook] I don’t know what I believe I don’t know what I believe But I’m still here Still here on my knees [Verse 2] Mama kept the book like fire in a cloth Don’t park it by another page, don’t test it, don’t toss I ran the lines twice, came back half the size Every verse a deadbolt wearing mercy for disguise Now it’s brick in the lining, riding in the coat Law in the pocket that don’t care what I wrote Pull a stitch, watch the voice leave with it Ask me what I pray to, I can’t even spit it [Bridge — half-sung, half-talk] Left the room Room said sure Never asked me once Never punched out [Hook + tag] I don’t know what I believe I don’t know what I believe But I’m still here Still here on my knees Not holy, not clean Just trained in the motion Doing work for a boss I don’t believe in
