[Hook]
They saw the enemy coming
That's why they started running
But you know me
Can't let nobody talk me out of being free, man
I'm covered by that blood
[Verse 1]
I'm back on the block again
I'm in my socks 'cause I just put a knot in my Tims
And threw 'em up on a telephone wire in the street
In loving memory of the old me
The death of the flesh, nothing less than a slow leak
I've got past trying to impress me homies
They don't even answer my texts, like they don't know me
Pray they don't take it the wrong way, but hey, I got doe, mi
Rey, fa, so, la, ti, do, I gotta sing hymns to Him who poured mercy upon me
While we were yet sinners Christ died for we
Partly an epistle, Romans 5:8b
And the prophecies say they're gonna hate me
And I gotta love them, man, this is crazy
But if I got it going, I'm going after great influence
So frankly, I'm going after Jay Z, what up
[Hook]
They saw the enemy coming
That's why they started running
But you know me
Can't let nobody talk me out of being free, man
I'm covered by that blood
[Verse 2]
And sometimes I had an itch to fight
When I'm enticed to walk away from life
But then I think twice, 'cause the second is the weapon
That we use to make every thought obedient to Christ
I stand under the light and speak graffiti in the mic
On a stage, it disappears, it's nowhere in sight, it's weird
I do my best when I feel I'm unprepared
That's when I'm feeling faith and I can feel Him in the air
Chilling with that Spirit on me, I don't have a care
I hope they listening to what I'm kicking in they ear
They used to listen when I would kick it like I was thugging
All that spitting, cursing, riffing, and saying nothing
Now I'm saying something, now I'm no longer bluffing
Now I'm saying the Devil's a liar and I'mma confront him
Now I'm saying Hell is the fire you're running
Toward if you ignore the Lord and His coming, war
[Hook]
They saw the enemy coming
That's why they started running
But you know me
Can't let nobody talk me out of being free, man
I'm covered by that blood
By that blood
By that blood
By that blood, man
I'm covered by that blood
By that blood
By that blood
By that blood
