(Hook)
I’m the holy nigga in the gang, yeah I pray then I bang,
Kept my soul clean while I’m walkin’ through the flames.
Cross on my chain, pain in my veins,
But I still shine in the dark like I came with the saints.
(Yeah) Holy nigga in the gang, no shame,
Readin’ psalms in the whip, ridin’ deep with my name.
Ain’t no fear in my lane, got my angels in range,
Holy nigga in the gang, we ain’t movin' the same.
(Verse 1 – Kendrick-style)
Momma lit that candle on the nightstand,
Told me “Boy, you a lion with God's hand.”
Now I move like a prophet in the block land,
Say a prayer, then I drop with the Glock jammed.
Scriptures in my backpack, demons wanna hijack,
Tryna stay clean while the streets yellin' “clap back.”
They don’t see the mission, I be fishin' for the lost ones,
Blessed in the hood where they only know the wrong guns.
(Verse 2 – Meek Mill-style)
I came from the bottom where the blessings feel distant,
Dodgin’ every trap while I’m grindin' with persistence.
Used to flip packs now I’m flippin' the wisdom,
Tryna turn the killers to some kings with a vision.
My faith never fold even when the pain hit,
Got a bible in the safe with the stainless.
Preachin' to the corner boys, told 'em “You can make it!”
Still a holy nigga, even when I’m faded.
(Hook)
I’m the holy nigga in the gang, yeah I pray then I bang,
Kept my soul clean while I’m walkin’ through the flames.
Cross on my chain, pain in my veins,
But I still shine in the dark like I came with the saints.
(Yeah) Holy nigga in the gang, no shame,
Readin’ psalms in the whip, ridin’ deep with my name.
Ain’t no fear in my lane, got my angels in range,
Holy nigga in the gang, we ain’t movin' the same.
(Verse 3 – J. Cole-style)
Tales from the alley, I was raised where the sinners be,
But somehow the Lord still remember me.
Tatted scars, battle wounds, made it out the misery,
Now I give sermons through the symphony.
Yeah, I’m different — talkin’ peace when the block hot,
Talkin’ growth when the opps yellin’ “Pop pop.”
Life ain't a game, I be playin' with the truth,
Tryna lead these young Gs while I’m laced in the boots.
(Bridge)
Can’t judge me, God know the war in my soul,
Fought with the devil just to get in control.
Heart full of pain, eyes on the throne,
I’m the holy nigga — and I walkin’ alone.
(Final Hook)
I’m the holy nigga in the gang, yeah I pray then I bang,
Kept my soul clean while I’m walkin’ through the flames.
Cross on my chain, pain in my veins,
But I still shine in the dark like I came with the saints.
(Yeah) Holy nigga in the gang, no shame,
Readin’ psalms in the whip, ridin’ deep with my name.
Ain’t no fear in my lane, got my angels in range,
Holy nigga in the gang, we ain’t movin' the same.
