Earlier this year, MGK was present when Brandon Lake led Jelly Roll in prayer at Stagecoach before Lake and Jelly Roll took the stage to perform their chart-topping hit “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
Here are the lyrics to MGK’s verse:
Uh, I’m stuck in traffic,
Tryna find my way to a home
that I’ve never known
on a GPS with no address.
So I’ll follow my heart,
but my heart is scattered.
Like my father’s ashes
in the back of the rental
after I dropped his urn.
Probably a metaphor
for everything I’ve learned.
Like how the only love I’ll have
is gonna crash and burn.
Or how the poorest I’ve felt
was after the most I’ve earned.
The biggest lie I told is
that no one should be concerned.
There’s gotta be another highway
that don’t lead to hell.
A star to lead me through the darkest night
like Christian Bale.
I hid from God for more
than two decades of life.
And when I came back to the light,
he didn’t ask me if I’m Christian still
just opened up his arms
and embraced me like I’m his son.
Erasing all the archetypes
of what people like me become.
Since I was young,
my personality split like serpent’s tongue.
But all the poison in my body
still ain’t make me numb.
I lost a best friend
and felt all that crying on his open casket
while I knelt on that.
I had a best man picked out for my wedding
but instead of getting married,
I carried guilt and left all that.
A vagabond that broke a bond for Boca Raton
who all along regretted he never kept
all that I left everything behind
but this engagement ring and a frozen heart.
I’m standin’ in the fire to melt all that, yeah.
