Tongue Cuts Deep - Christian Hip-Hop

Our words carry power. The tongue can wound deeply, spread anger, and tear people down—but it can also bring healing, encouragement, truth, and hope. This song is a reminder to speak with wisdom and love, because what we say can either hurt a heart or help restore one. “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” — Proverbs 18:21 LYRICS: [Verse 1] I bit my lip, still the words came out Sharp little darts when I was stressed out Built a whole fire with a two-word spark Left a bruise in the light and a scar in the dark I seen one sentence change a whole house One fast lie turn a trust all out You can plant rage in the cold of your chest Then eat what you sow when the bill comes next Every name you spit, every vow you break Every curse you feed, every promise you fake The mouth’s a small gate, but it swings life wide What you call for loud don’t stay outside [Pre-Chorus] So I watch my tongue I count every shot 'Cause words got weight And they don’t stop Say it again It starts to grow What you keep feeding That’s what you know [Chorus] Watch your mouth Watch your mouth Life or death In your mouth Speak it right Speak it right Love that fruit Or pay the price Watch your mouth Watch your mouth What you say Comes back around [Verse 2] I heard the old heads warn in the noon heat “Be careful, young one, with the things you speak” Blessings in the breeze or a knife in the air Same tongue can heal or leave you there If you love the fire, you’ll taste the smoke If you chase the poison, then the cup gets broke Words are seeds and the ground don’t lie What you put in the world comes back to your life So I’m clean with the talk, I’m sharp with the breath No borrowed doom, no casual death I’m saying hope when the room gets cold I’m saying truth when the lies get bold [Pre-Chorus] So I watch my tongue I count every shot 'Cause words got weight And they don’t stop Say it again It starts to grow What you keep feeding That’s what you know [Chorus] Watch your mouth Watch your mouth Life or death In your mouth Speak it right Speak it right Love that fruit Or pay the price Watch your mouth Watch your mouth What you say Comes back around [Bridge] One word can open a door One word can lock it shut One word can lift you up One word can tear you up I’m not playing with fate I’m not feeding the grave I choose the fruit on my plate I choose the way I speak [Final Chorus] Watch your mouth Watch your mouth Life or death In your mouth Speak it right Speak it right Love that fruit Or pay the price Watch your mouth Watch your mouth What you say Comes back around Watch your mouth Watch your mouth What you sow You gotta live around © 2026 Glory Echoed.
