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 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 want, 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 'em, he ain't say be dumb

I ain't gotta hug every snake that come

You want sweet tea, front porch grace

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 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 want, get your feelings knocked off

Jesus flipped tables when the spirit got loud

So don't act 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 discernment

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, crown still on

Bible in my hand where my boots lay strong

I love Jesus, but I ain't soft

Try me if you want, 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 tell you don't touch me

Some folks think Christian means quiet and cute, uh

Like I can't have faith 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 know every tear that I turned into flame

He know every fake friend, every fake prayer

Every wolf that smile 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 too bold

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 where my boots lay strong

I love Jesus, but I ain't soft

Try me if you want, get your feelings knocked off

God knows my heart

He also knows I'm tired

Bless your heart, baby

Now back up off me
