Jason Ashe - Herald

★ intro ★
It's him, he's alive
Yeah (what), yeah (what), huh
(god made, north-end raised) just out the way jay
Like a renewed schemer in a two seater—there ain't no going back
That's a bar

★ verse 1 intro ★
I'm just a sinner whose given forgiveness, the lord is my witness he know what it is
I come from the trenches i don't need to mention my list of offenses and dirt that i did (nope)
Remember the days when it was just me and my mother, no brothers when i'm in a pinch
Gotta stay humble so with my face all in the rubble i'm mumbling, "look what he did!”

★ verse 1 ★
Look, the message is old school ‘cause i still rely on the facts (yeah)
Knowin’ that some miss that call to come live while applaudin’ their sin and won't dial it back
Thinkin’ they're smart, watch then wait ‘til our god arrives
Time was on their side and a log had blocked their eyes (matthew 7)
So i won’t hide the mission (no way), he's the hope supplied in sickness (that's right)
Not chose by men but rose again like a valentines tradition (smooth)
I said no to the lies sight gives for a new home, glow up with a nice, tight, fit
Where robes got a bright, white trim and lawn trolls can't know him like this
Why's it awfully odd that a carpenter offered up both of his hands?
Then properly swapped our impossible plans when we started off wanting lots on the sand (and nailed iron the head)?
Now like complimentary dinners or acquittals in winter– he frees us
So even with zero degrees i'm pleased to preach of what he's done
I'm more deranged than you ‘cause i quote ancient truths
Strangely cool with the ageless dude who gave the angels rules
(stay renewed) then i prove his will for real when making moves
Patient troops, he gives grace to make the face when babies snooze, play with who? (yeah)

★ chorus ★
I only stand in truth, i don't do si do
Always on my toes ‘cause i know what noah knowed (huh)
My story’s still all about his grace, death was over owed
'though i will lay down my crown for now i have to go for gold
I only stand in truth, i never do si do
Always on my toes ‘cause i know what noah knowed
And my story’s still all about his grace ‘cause death was over owed
'though i will lay down my crown for now i have to go for gold

★ verse 2 ★
My lack of love had caused internal strain (for real), i was daily fractured
Avid trust in money burned my faith like dainty fabrics (ahhh)
Dad was up there with a paternal gaze (that's love), his ways elaborate
And said, “enough of your nocturnal phases! you chase distractions.”
Grabbing stuff from which he turned his face and remaining captive
Scattered much along the broadened way, man those days were savage
Passed some blunts to soften carnal traits and delay the sadness
It packs a punch when you never walk with grace or ever weigh your actions
And a plan b ain't succeeding when you live on that barren road
You may not conceive of your need, but it still is apparent though
Cause god’s law’s a mirror for sin– that persistent slippin’
And after you've seen yours, then you’ll need his assisted livin’ (that's crazy)
He faced hell for naysayers like them clydsdales
Now reigns well and so faithful are his deeds still
So i'll die elect speaking rhymes that are lifeline’s
For example, to live backwards is evil overtime and that’s why

★ chorus ★
I only stand in truth, i don't do si do
Always on my toes ‘cause i know what noah knowed
My story’s still all about his grace, death was over owed
'though i will lay down my crown for now i have to go for gold
Stand in truth, i never do si do
Always on my toes, noah knowed
Over owed, go for gold
