Intro

Sirens fade, my knees hit the wooden floor City lights like candles outside the corner store

Verse 1

Our Father, who art in heaven, hear the trains Hallowed be thy name in these cracked windowpanes On the block where the night shift prays for peace Where a siren cuts hymns and the worries don’t cease Thy kingdom come, past the fences and the bars Past the red-and-blue flashes and the broken-down cars Thy will be done, when my temper wants a fight On earth as it is in heaven, keep my aim on the light

Verse 2

Give us this day our daily bread, no shame Rent due, fridge thin, still we stand up the same Moms on a late bus, two jobs, tired eyes Kids do homework while the hallway echoes cries And forgive us our trespasses, the things we regret The quick words, cold hearts, the corners we met As we forgive those who trespass against us, we try Hands unclench, pride down, let the old beef die

Verse 3

And lead us not into temptation, easy money talk When the billboards sell lies and the pressure won’t walk When a “come on” feels loud and my courage feels small When the alley looks warm but it’s really a fall But deliver us from evil, from the setups and schemes From the hate in the feed, from the dust in my dreams For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory Forever, Amen, write hope in the end of my story

Outro

Same prayer, new pavement, still reaching up Same sky over every block, still filling my cup If my voice shakes, I’ll rap it anyway, Amen Hallowed on the block, let it start with us, then
