[Intro] This ain’t polished talk, this survival scripture, Hope learned to breathe where the cracks in the picture. City raised me, pain shaped the way I speak, Faith found me dirty, not gentle, not weak. [Verse 1] Grew up where trust cost more than pride, Everybody armed with a look, not surprised. Same hands that hug you will test your spine, Same smile switch up when the moment align. I moved with tension, back tight, eyes sharp, Learned early how the dark leave a mark. I prayed with my fists clenched, teeth locked tight, Didn’t know peace till He stepped in my fight. [Hook] Grace don’t come soft where I’m from, It break chains, leave scars, still get it done. I don’t talk clean, I don’t walk tame, I stay street with it — still reppin’ His name. [Verse 2] I seen faith mocked by the same ones lost, Laugh now, cry later when they feel that cost. Everybody brave till the ground turn cold, Truth hit different when the night take hold. I don’t flex sins, I don’t sell that image, Seen too many trapped in a life they finished. I still step heavy, still talk direct, But I bow my head — yeah, I know who I rep. [Hook] Grace don’t come soft where I’m from, It break chains, leave scars, still get it done. I don’t talk clean, I don’t walk tame, I stay street with it — still reppin’ His name. [Verse 3] I forgive, but I remember what pain teach, Still alert when I move, still practicing peace. I don’t fake holiness, I bleed and I pray, Some days I win, some nights I barely stay straight. But mercy pull me back when the edge get close, When the old me knocking, tryna take control. If you think faith weak, you never been here, Takes power to love when revenge feel near. [Bridge] I don’t need candles, I don’t need choirs, I met God in pressure, heat, and fire. If I fall to my knees, it ain’t defeat, That’s how soldiers reload in the middle of the street. [Outro] Same block, same air, but my soul fortified, Still scarred, still breathing, still sanctified. This ain’t clean music, this truth with dirt, Grace saved my life — and it did it the hard way.

Grace don't come soft
