[Part I]

[Verse: Mereba, Mereba & JID]
We watched it all go to ashes
I’d prayed for days like a last stretch
Can’t we go back to the magic? (Oh-oh)
The berries turn and they twist
Don’t tell me that was the last kiss
Well, if it was, it was classic
That brings me peace of mind

[Chorus: Mereba, Mereba & JID]

Believe in miracles
There’s a reason for
How the scene unfolds
Don’t stop wishing
Believe in miracles
Every season goes
We can start again

[Part II]

[Intro: JID]
Uh, look, uh

[Chorus: JID]
We gotta find the place
S*it, maybe it’s near the stars (Uh)
Where we can feel safe
Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark
Uh, but are you following the flames?
Hmm, like a tail chasing a dog
A lot s*it been rough
Harder been tough, but it’s nothing, just place your faith within God, yeah

[Verse: JID]
Uh (Uh)

Heaven was hell and vice-a versa, a verse of vices
Writing in cursive, the grind of a author, defining purpose
Talking to himself, walking in circles
In a secluded cabin somewhere cold, no phone service
So un-sober, smoking something he purchased from a grower that he knows
And like sand to the beach, he brought some blow to the snow
Kind of right on the nose
Tryna find the light for years, he feels tired and it shows
Rivaling his peers, overthinking, playing right into the spirits
Extinguish all the fire, disappeared
But he don’t see nothing admired in the mirror
He’s silently insecure, sniffing white lines, pure
Writing a line, sniff a white line, pure
Writing a line, sniff a white line, pure
And it’s like a cycle, it’s fear
You read the Bible much? It’s giving much required to steer
Battling life, he lost his before he conquered his fear
What if Heaven was hell and vice-a versa? A verse of vices
Very immersive, the verbiage a bit divisive
Over-determined, overtime, working in silence
Searching for purpose ’til you feel the perfect alignment
Clowns in a circus, circle around, you been in bondage
Breaking in burglars, stealing swag, she steady climbing
Speaking encouragement to the family is by design
And she wearing designer, learn to see life on the other side
Fu*k if Heaven was hell
Never rebel from the side of God, you been lead to prevail
Following idols that’s falsified is the deadliest trail
She kept her mind and eyes on the prize for the better of self
Instead of regretting whatever’s dealt, what an elegant tale
Simplest life, husband and wife with the pride on the shelf
Is something I like and I think it’s time to retire my belt
Tryna write a happy ending story, while I’m seeing something more than Heaven, hell or purgatory

[Chorus: JID]
Uh, we gotta find the place
S*it, maybe it’s near the stars (Uh)
Where we can feel safe
Maybe only way to make it to the light is through the dark
Uh, but are you following the flames?
Hmm, like a tail chasing a dog
A lot s*it been rough
Harder been tough, but it’s nothing, just place your faith within God, yeah, uh

[Interlude]
It’s a place not made with hands (Alright)
It’s a place that said, that if you believe, it has your name on it
I don’t about you, but I’m looking forward to seeing this place
I’m looking forward to that safe house
I can’t wait to get there, can’t you?
I can’t wait to be in that place

[Part III]

[Intro: JID]
Uh, look

[Verse: JID]
All I wanted was some money since a snotty nose
All the n!ggas that I know with dough left the hood and didn’t tell us, “Adiós”
I was taking notes
Even seen the preacher on the TV tell me sinners 19999
And he can save our soul
Say it ain’t so, n!ggas done sold us down the road
But I know God give the heaviest load to the strongest soldiers
And if I know this, I might as well assume the role
And try and lead us to the land and milk and honey, word to Moses
I got mixed emotions, cross-faded, hit the dope and mix the potions
Daily devotions on my nightstand by the different strands of violas
Violets, blue blood dropping, it’s red as the roses
N!ggas shooting, not a movie, but you dead in the focus
Step in the light ’cause in the night, it gets dark as the ocean
Beau in LeBlanc, hit the blunt as we parked in the cul-de’
Sack in his pockets, said that one day, “We taking this over”
Nodded my head, spinned the block and looked over my shoulder
And you was there for me, but carefully placed, truth was daring me, staring death in the face
Look in the way when I was stuck in the space, stumbling, bend, but nothing would break
Titanium, tough as they make (Talk s*it)
In the lion’s den, I resembled David, I repent the sin
I return to sender every shot, n!gga, ’cause many men
We step on black breath
Dell Curry, I can raise a 30, but it’s not Steph
You ain’t really got the chops, crank it up a notch, cooking with the top chef
I gotta watch myself, a beautiful life, a ugly cycle, I gotta stop myself
I’m bleeding, taking a beating, we come from the Bible belt
Indeed, I never could leave it, I’m seeing nobody to help
Strategic that you the reasoning, achieved, they didn’t believe in him
Succeed, I swim in the deep again, I’m sinking, when can I breathe again?
The fatigue is setting in, I can speak in telekinesis
Telling God what I need, I fall on my knees, it’s ten on my feet
I’m back on the road, the sinner repent and repeat, the sinner repent and repeat
The sinner repent
I gotta see it through until it’s finished, we all got a sentence we up against
Blank period, where the promethazines? I been searching for something with substance
I’m clearly coming up with nothing
But fu*k it, I’ll go where the love is, I think that’s the play
I might’ve found it, yeah

[Outro: JID]
This guy came, thinks he a prophet
And he says, pictures out of the whole church
That couple right there
Comes up to the front of the church
I was still high, being out all night, yeah
God say you all ain’t gon’ have to worry ’bout nothing
What you need to remember is not you that got us this good
It was the Lord, God Almighty
I’ll never forget that
