Lyrics
I pray for you
Say with folded arms
Like God's on your side
And I missed the mark
With all due respect
Before the blade comes down
Smile on the face
While the truth gets locked
Bless your heart, but the tone says shame
Holy words wearing a different name
You called it honesty, I felt the heat
Funny how kindness can still hit deep
It ain't what you say, it's how it lands
Truth don't need violence to make a stand
Yeah, oh, yeah
Say it right
If you're gonna say it at all
'Cause a blessing with bad intention
Still feels like a fall
You don't need a curse word
To draw blood tonight
Some of the sharpest weapons
Still sound holy when they strike
Yeah, I'm just being real
When real means cold
I mean well
But it's my toll
That's just my opinion
That can clear the stain
But you don't get to dodge
What you cause with a name
Yeah, we quote love loud but whisper grace
Use scripture like shelter
Then throw it like stones at a face
We say truth and love
But skip the love part
Funny how easy it is
To miss your own heart
If the fruit is damaged
Maybe check the tree
If it keeps on cutting
Maybe look at me, ooh
Say it right
If you're gonna say it at all
'Cause a blessing with bad intention
Still feels like a fall
You don't need a curse word
To draw blood tonight
Some of the sharpest weapons
Still sound holy when they strike
Yeah, I said it too
I dressed it clean
Called it conviction
When it was just me
I hid behind tone
Behind amen
Forgot the mouth is where love begins
If love is patient
Then why the rush?
If love is kind
Why does it bruise so much?
Yeah
Say what you mean
But mean it right
Say it right
If you're gonna say it at all
'Cause a blessing with bad intention
Still feels like a fall
You don't need a curse word
To draw blood tonight
Some of the sharpest weapons
Still sound holy when they strike
Words don't just speak
They choose a side
If love is the message
Then say it right
