If I die
Before I wake
I pray the Lord
They finally break
This cycle
Same script same mask same fake
Red hats holding Bibles
But they skipping over love like rivals
Talk real big about laws and rights
But shut the door on a child at night
Kids in cages moms in tears
They hear cries but they mute the fear
I was raised on love thy neighbor
Now it's lock them out blame their labor
If I die before I wake
Don't let my name just float away
Let it rise like smoke and flame
Light the sky and speak my name
They can lie but can't erase
Every wound every truth we face
If I die before I wake
Let my voice still shake this place
They wave flags but forget the cross
Say we blessed but who pays the cost
Say pro life while they cut the meal
Vote for war but call it God's will
Twist the word to fit their role
But even Satan knew scripture cold
He said love
They chose control
This book
It ain't a weapon for the few
It's a mirror a light a rescue
But they flipped it for greed
For laws that bleed
Tell me
What would Jesus do if he could see
If I die before I wake
Don't let my name just float away
Let it rise like smoke and flame
Light the sky and speak my name
They can lie but can't erase
Every wound every truth we face
If I die before I wake
Let my voice still shake this place
Preacher got jets while I walk to work
Gold on his chest dirt on my shirt
Say God first but I see the scam
Black kid shot no justice no cam
Say freedom then lock the vote
Cut your check raise your hope
And when we speak they say calm down
But ain't no peace when we on the ground
If I die before I wake
Let my truth break every chain
Let my pain become the light
For the ones still stuck in night
Let the lost ones know their name
Let the silence feel my flame
If I die before I wake
Tell them we ain't playing no games
The last gon rise
And the first
Better recognize
