South Side Of The Kingdom

South Side Of The Kingdom

They say you can't talk like that and be Christian
Honey, God knows my heart
I'm from the south side of the kingdom
Jesus flipped tables for weird-ass behavior too

They said you can't talk like that and be saved
Baby, God knows the heart that he made
I pray hard, but I don't play fair
Go play with your mama, don't play over here
South side of the kingdom, crown still on
Bible in my hand where my boots lay strong
I love Jesus, but I ain't soft
Try me if you wanna get your feelings knocked off

I've been baptized, but I ain't been blind
I can forgive you and still draw that line
God said love them, he didn't say be dumb
I ain't gotta hug every snake that come
You want sweet tea from Porch Gray
But you keep bringing drama to a holy place
I got prayers in my mouth and grit in my chest
Still a child of God, even when I tell you I'm pressed
Don't twist my faith like I'm supposed to fold
I got fire in my spirit and a backbone of gold
I can bless your heart with a smile on my face
Then move clean out your way with amazing grace
They say you can't talk like that and be saved
Baby, God knows the heart that he made
I pray hard, but I don't play fair
Go play with your mama, don't play over here
South side of the kingdom, crown still on
Bible in my hand where my boots lay strong, I love Jesus, but I ain't soft
Try me if you wanna get your feelings knocked off

Jesus flipped tables when the spirit got loud
Sit on that brand new when I clear me a crowd
Some of y'all holy with a mouth full of lies
Quoting them verses, but your side ain't mine
I ain't your peaceful, sitting quiet little saint
I got scars, I got stories, I got mud on my name
But heaven still hits me when I fall on my knees
And hell gets nervous when I find my peace
You call it attitude, I call it discerning
Learned the hard way every lesson I'm learning
I don't need perfect, I just need real
God saw the damage and he still let me heal
So bless your heart, baby, watch your mouth
I'm saved by grace with a little down south
I don't start mess, but I finish mine
And I sleep real good when I draw that line

They say you can't talk like that and be saved
Baby, God knows the heart that he made
I pray hard, but I don't play fair
Go play with your mama, don't play over here
South side of the kingdom, the crown still on
Bible in my hand with my boots laced on
I love Jesus, but I ain't soft
Try me if you want to get your feelings knocked off

I ain't perfect, I'm protected
Still chosen, still respected
A little petty, still corrected
But the Most High never disconnected
I got mercy, I got muscle
I got peace, I got hustle
I got angels in the struggle
And a warning when I feel you, don't touch me
Some folks think Christian means quiet and cute, uh
Like I can't have faith (oh) with a little bit of truth
But I know who I am when the whole room stares
God ain't confused by the way I swear
He know my heart, he know my pain
He knows every tear that I turned into flame
He knows every fake friend, every fake prayer
Every wolf that smiles like they care
So keep that judgment in your Sunday purse
I'm still covered when I'm at my worst
Queen with a cross and a mouth to boast
South side kingdom with a sanctified soul

They say you can't talk like that and be saved
Baby, God knows the heart that he made
I pray hard, but I don't play fair
Go play with your mama, don't play over here
South side of the kingdom, crown still on
Bible in my hand with my boots laced strong
I love Jesus, but I ain't soft
Try me if you wanna get your feelings knocked off

God knows my heart
He also knows I'm tired
Bless your heart, baby
Come back up off me
