lyrics

[Intro]
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me

[Verse 1]
Saints and sinners ain’t no difference when it’s business
When it’s life or death I’m living
No one understands a villain
I got wounds you couldn’t fix em with some penicillin
Live my truth at least I’m real and not afraid to feel em
All these masks were on us long before the quarantine
Ain’t nothing new this fucking town has been a horror scene
I’m calling out I keep a Crucifix on every wall
If they point the hammer at me I’ll be too legit to fall

[Chorus]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
This is not a safe life
The way I’m driving you won’t ever see me hit the brake lights
And I’m gliding through my city like it’s made of ice
Everything is different cuz I paid the price
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me
Cover me in crosses

[Verse 2]
Blessings on me
Dripping platinum like there’s records on me
Jealous Judas plotting vengeance on me
Friends to foes when I got breaded like some Panettone
Set some goals and leave the rest up to whoever’s holy
My ride or die she keep me focused I’m so grateful for her
Been taking time and tryna be an inspiration for her
My back is breaking I keep carrying the world around
I know I’m covered I’m escaping from the devil now

[Chorus]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
This is not a safe life
The way I’m driving you won’t ever see me hit the brake lights
And I’m gliding through my city like it’s made of ice
Everything is different cuz I paid the price
Blessings on me got my Angels right beside me
Cover me in crosses
Oh Lord
Say a prayer for me in case the devil wanna try me
Cover me in crosses

[Outro]
Cover me in crosses
Cover me in crosses
