real recognize real

Raised in the streets, not the fire they claim, Cuts run deep — MJ from the cut is the name. Born with the grit, Real recognize real — that’s the code of the land. I came up from the places where the hurting hearts breathe, Where the wolves roam heavy and the lost don’t leave. I was raised in the cut, where the scars don’t sleep, Where the nights stay long and the pain runs deep. I walked through the shadows, felt the weight in my chest, Learned the truth of the trenches, never folded under stress. Soft voices don’t reach where the wounded souls kneel, But they look in my eyes and they know I’m real. [HOOK] Real recognize real — that’s the truth I carry still, From the gutter to the glory, from the valley to the hill. Cuts run deep, but the kingdom made me heal, MJ from the cut — and that’s the seal. [VERSE 2] I ain’t knocking on doors with a pamphlet in hand, I’m walking through the places where the strong barely stand. I’m built for the trenches, built for the grit, Built for the ones who feel too broken to admit. I survived what they fear, I endured what they hide, Now I bring them the light with a soldier’s stride. Not a gangster, not a threat — I’m a warrior for the King, With a voice for the hurting and a fire I bring. [HOOK] Real recognize real — that’s the truth I carry still, From the gutter to the glory, from the valley to the hill. Cuts run deep, but the kingdom made me heal, MJ from the cut — and that’s the seal. [BRIDGE] Raised in the streets, not the fire they speak, Cuts in my ribs made my spirit unique. I’m the one they call when the darkness gets loud, I’m the one who stands firm when they’re lost in the crowd. I’m the voice in the alley, the hope in the night, I’m the soldier of truth with a gospel of light. I’m the one who survived so the broken can feel, Real recognize real — and that’s the deal. [VERSE 3] I walk with the wolves but I carry the Lamb, I speak to the hurting ‘cause I know where I am. Born a G, die a G — but the G stands for “heal,” For the grit, for the gospel, for the truth I reveal. I’m the bridge for the lost, I’m the calm in the fight, I’m the fire in the dark, I’m the voice of the night. Cuts run deep, but the purpose runs real, MJ from the cut — that’s the kingdom feel. [FINAL HOOK] Real recognize real — that’s the truth I carry still, From the gutter to the glory, from the valley to the hill. Cuts run deep, but the kingdom made me heal, MJ from the cut — and that’s the seal. [OUTRO] Raised in the streets, not the fire they claim, Cuts run deep — MJ from the cut is the name. Born with the grit, never molded by man, Real recognize real — that’s the code of the land.
