HALO WITH A CRACK

Halo with a crack

Still shining, ain't it? Stumbled and I snapped

Still rhyming, ain't it?

They tried to paint me black

I repainted, ain't it?

Even broken halos got a glow

Can't faint it. Gold ring tilted

Little rust in the bend

But the light leak sweet

Where the edges never mend

I'm the saint with a scuff

Sinner with a plan

Put the truth in the trunk

And the faith in the van

If the road get rough

I repave with tone

Every bar a brick

Every hook a home

Cracks let the sunrise play on my face

Proof that I lived in a real hard place

If glory got scars

Then I'm royal for sure

I wore loss like cologne now I smell like cure

Halo with a crack

Still shining, ain't it?

Stumbled and I snapped

Still rhyming, ain't it?

They tried to paint me black

I repainted, ain't it?

Even broken halos got a glow

Can't faint it

Halo with a crack, still shining

Ain't it? Stumbled and I snapped

Still rhyming, ain't it?

They tried to paint me black

I repainted,ain't it?

Even broken halos got a glow

Can't faint it. Halo with a crack

Still shining, ain't it? Stumbled and I snapped

Still rhyming, ain't it?

They tried to paint me black

I repainted, ain't it?

Even broken halos got a glow

Can't faint it

Perfect's plastic

Real is elastic

Bend,don't break

Miracles are drastic

Shine through the fracture

Brighter than before
