[Verse 1]    
Oh, Clordy, BbI wish it was just Amsome day
But it's another Sunday
COh, lordy, the people here, they Amall say
That I'm making a mistake
COh, lordy, they're whispering my Amname now
Putting it to flames now
COh, lordy, what is it that AmI've done to become the bad one?
[Pre-Chorus]
CI've been so shaken, grace ain't been amazing
FTell me what's a man to do?
AmI done heard your message
CI ain't got no blessings
Fire starting on the rooFf
FAnd it's about time to say
[Chorus]
CHold up, why is this devil on my shoulder?
Hell must've got a little Amcolder
But, hell, I got bolder
BbNa na na, Chey now
Been too quiet, I'mma get loud

They think I went and planned this
