Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man, I can't watch the news
It's safe to say we've lost our way
If you wanna know the truth
I think it's 'cause we lost our faith
Lost our faith in one nation up under God, worth fighting for
And I'd die for mine, man, and I don't know about you and yours
[Chorus]
But for me and my house, we gon' serve the Lord
Fly that flag out on our porch
For me and my house, we ain't raising kids
We're raising God-fearing women and men
Where wrong's still wrong and right's still right
So, Heaven, keep them wolves outside
Lord, you know I'll send 'em straight to your front door
If they come for me and my house
I didn't know my true purpose until I became a husband and a father
It's clear to me now (Demun)
[Verse 2]
One man, one woman, two wedding rings
Then come the vows, repeat after me
Pretty brick house full of our things
Two baby girls, angels sing
All ten fingers and ten toes
To the end of the Earth, we go
I'll be the first in the flame
Follow my lead, follow my lead
I'll find the way from the floor on my knees
Blind is the faith in the Lord, I see
God is the shield, just get behind me
When the dark clouds come, that's all that we need, all that we need
[Chorus]
For me and my house, we gon' serve the Lord
Fly that flag out on our porch
For me and my house, we ain't raising kids
We're raising God-fearing women and men
Where wrong's still wrong and right's still right
So, Heaven, keep them wolves outside
Lord, you know I'll send 'em straight to your front door
If they come for me and my house
[PostChorus]
Yeah, me and my house
Struggle
[Verse 3]
Three sons, four daughters
Preaching Jesus, gotta teach 'em all to
Be the example they need me to be
'Cause my daddy told me never lead the lambs to slaughter
Die for 'em, I'ma kill for 'em
Change my ways so I can live for 'em
We weather storms, now when lightning strike
We don't let it pass, we run towards it
It's the Lord house, built with love
Full of laughter and a loaded gun
Teach 'em manners and a woman's worth
And if the evil surface, gotta put in work, ah
[Chorus]
For me and my house, we gon' serve the Lord
Fly that flag out on our porch
For me and my house, we ain't raising kids
We're raising God-fearing women and men
Where wrong's still wrong and right's still right
So, Heaven, keep them wolves outside
Lord, you know I'll send 'em straight to your front door
If they come for me and my house
[Outro]
I will fear no evil
'Cause I know you're with me
And if you're with me
Then who can be against me?
