[Intro 4bars]

[Intro 4bars] No stage No armor Just truth [Verse 1：rapper calm soulful speaker] Before you take a single word from this album as a call-out, I need you to hear this as my confession For a long time I never thought I’d step back into a church I didn’t think I belonged there Not after what I’ve seen Not after what I’ve become [Verse 2：rapper calm soulful speaker] I came up in the church Then I fell silent at a young age Life taught me early it isn’t fair— Not with family, Not with love, Not with violence, And I didn’t have words for it So I learned to cope the way some do I stayed busy I got angry I got loud inside [Hook Chorus：female vocal soft] Mercy found me When I was far Love kept calling Through every scar Come home Come home [Interlude 2bars] [Piano, breath] [Verse 3：rapper calm soulful speaker] I’m a product child of September 11th And everything that came after The fear, the crises— They kept multiplying As a teenager I was reckless I drove too fast I worked too much I chased money like it could buy meaning I tried to earn love and respect From people I shouldn’t have given my time to I was in a hurry to grow up When I should’ve slowed down Because the most valuable thing in life is time And you can’t buy that back No— Not time, not ever [Pre-Chorus：female vocal soft] Come home Come back [Full Chorus：female vocal] Mercy found me When I was far Love kept calling Through every scar You are not worthless You are not alone You are not unforgivable Come home [Verse 4：rapper calm soulful speaker] I didn’t value what my parents sacrificed For my siblings and I I didn’t understand their hardships I was to young to understand but I thought I was mature enough I just kept grinding As if being exhausted meant I was becoming someone But I was wasting what mattered most— Time with family and friends [Verse 5：rapper calm soulful speaker] I left home as soon as I could Product child of September 11th I became a tool of war young Still a kid when the world lit on fire Not a headline—just weight I still carry It changed what I could unsee I carried that into adulthood I traveled the world Met people, cultures, religions Their likenesses Their struggles And I learned the hard way— We’re more similar than we are different I’ve seen the greatness of humanity And I’ve seen the depths of darkness [Interlude 2bars] [A quiet pause] [Verse 6：rapper calm soulful speaker] I haven’t been the greatest father I’ve missed moments I can’t get back And that breaks something in me every day I haven’t been the greatest husband Or son, sibling, friend Or Christian I’ve fallen off the course more times than I can count I’ve made mistakes I’ve hurt lives I’ve let people be reckless with my heart And I’ve been reckless with theirs Grace doesn’t erase what I’ve done— It teaches me to make it right [Pre-Chorus 2：female vocal soft] Come home Come home [Verse 7：rapper calm soulful speaker] I tried to save as many lives along the way And I wish I could say all of them made it Some didn’t Some horrors follow people home Into the quiet of the night I’ve stood at too many silent edges of grief, [hard silent pause] And only by God’s grace am I still alive Too many close calls While so many around me are gone Many of them better than me Some from life Some by their own hand [Interlude 2bars] [Low choir breath] [Chorus：female vocal] Mercy found me When I was far Love kept calling Through every scar You are not worthless You are not alone You are not unforgivable Come home [Bridge：rapper calm soulful speaker] I thought I was too gone for church Until I remembered who Jesus ate with Not the clean Not the polished He welcomed the broken He called the unlikely I’m not standing here as the example I’m standing here as evidence That grace still works That starting over is real [Build-up] If you’ve been drifting If you’ve been bitter If you’ve been ashamed If you’ve been numb Come with me [Climax：female vocal + male low harmony] Make us real Make us new Teach our hands to do what love should do Hold our hearts When we’re undone And lead us back home [Outro,Fade out] [Spoken—rapper calm] Come home
