This flesh ain’t public property.
Some anthems aren’t about anyone else’s story — they’re a declaration. “My Body, My Blood” is a song about reclaiming full ownership of yourself: your body, your choices, your future, with no one else holding a vote.
The Story Behind the Song
Built on a deep Hammond B3 organ swell and a driving soul-rock groove that explodes into a full gospel choir backing, “My Body, My Blood” is about refusing to let anyone else define your worth or dictate your boundaries. It’s less a story about a single moment and more a mantra — a repeated, defiant claim to self-ownership that builds in intensity with every chorus.
“My body, my blood, my sacred space!
You don’t get a vote in my grace!”
By the bridge, the song drops into a stomping gospel call-and-response — choir and lead trading the song’s core declaration back and forth — before building one final time into its most powerful chorus.

[Verse 1]
They write their laws on paper, try to brand it on my skin
Deciding where my boundaries stop and where my life begins
Look me in the eye and try to tell me what I’m worth
Like I’m just a vessel for the judgment of this earth
I walked through every shadow, took the fire and the strain
I paid for every inch of peace with my own blood and pain
So keep your quiet opinions and your pious little speech
There’s a fire in my spirit that your hands can never reach!
[Verse 2]
You don’t own my future, you don’t dictate how I stand
I’m the ruler of my temple, I’m the master of this land
Every breath I draw is sacred, every heartbeat is my own
And I’m reclaiming every corner of this holy marble throne!
[Pre-Chorus]
This flesh ain’t public property, this skin is not your street…
I carry my own destiny on my two standing feet!
[Chorus]
My body, my blood, my sacred space!
You don’t get a vote in my grace!
I belong to nobody, I am whole and I am free!
A sovereign soul in my own majesty!
Say it to the heavens, let the whole world hear…
I stand in my power and I know no fear!
[Verse 3]
I am the author of my story, every chapter, every line
And this sacred sovereign temple is exclusively mine!
[Pre-Chorus]
This flesh ain’t public property, this skin is not your street…
I carry my own destiny on my two standing feet!
[Chorus]
My body, my blood, my sacred space!
You don’t get a vote in my grace!
I belong to nobody, I am whole and I am free!
A sovereign soul in my own majesty!
Say it to the heavens, let the whole world hear…
I stand in my power and I know no fear!
[Bridge]
My body! (Gospel Choir)
My blood! (Gospel Choir)
My sacred space!
No vote! (Gospel Choir)
No control! (Gospel Choir)
This is my soul!
[Chorus]
My body, my blood, my sacred space!
You don’t get a vote in my grace!
I belong to nobody, I am whole and I am free!
A sovereign soul in my own majesty!
Say it to the heavens, let the whole world hear…
I stand in my power and I know no fear!
[Outro]
This space is mine.
