Song Lyrics

"Holding The Knife"

by Sheena Taylor

Oh,
holding the knife.
Yeah. What hurts the most ain't the cut,
it's the hand. The one I prayed for
broke bread would call friend. I was so
real. Gave my heart with no mask. And
you chose to stab me right there in my
back. They say pressure makes diamonds.
Well, I'm proof. Even through betrayal,
I'm standing in truth. Tried to shame me
in front of the world's eyes. But God
said vengeance is mine.
Oh, it hurts when you see who's holding
the knife. When it's the ones closest
cutting through your life. But everyone
just pushes me higher. My pain's
becoming holy fire
stones in me. Persecuted me in front of
the whole world to see. But scripture
told me this day would come. If they
persecuted me, they'll persecute you, my
son. Betrayal from the closest. It cuts
like steel. But it's motivation to go
harder for real. You want a piece of the
pie, but didn't build this table. You
walked away, but God made me able
[Music]
and these sisters who ain't blood still
betrayed me. Smiles in my face, but the
love was all fakery. I see more snakes
just as weak than a pit. But God keeps
saying, "Cow, don't quit when they feel
your light. Intimidation makes them run,
but I'm still shining. Can't block the
sun. Every test is a testimony. You'll
see. What was meant to destroy me sets
me free.
Oh, it hurts when you see who's holding
the knife. When it's the ones closest
cutting through your life, but every
wound just pushes me higher. My pains
becoming holy fire.
You threw stones in me, persecuted me in
front of the whole world to see. But
scripture told me this day would come.
If they persecuted me, they'll persecute
you, my son. Betrayal from the closest.
It cuts like steel. But it's motivation
to go harder. For real. You want a piece
of the pie, but didn't build this table.
You walked away, but God made me able.
Every scar, every tear is part of the
plan. You can't stop what's blessed by
God's hand. Through the lies, through
the hate, through the pain and fight. He
said, "Child, I'm your life. So let them
walk away. Let them show their face. God
will use every Judas to elevate my
place. Yet it hurts. But the story ain't
done. This betrayal just proved I'm the
chosen one.
