Hallelujah - Kemba

I told my mother I loved her just the other week

Said I’m sorry for being weak, turn the other cheek

No villain is ever raised, as if a different breed

To us humans I shed a tear before I did the deed

Father, Father, our personas gone on forever

The grown-ups ain’t show no effort so homies don’t know no better

Of course we gon' go retarded

Our fathers were tarred and feathered

As targets and all we got is the president

So who riding I’m with it?

It’s hard to be positive when impoverished, I did it

Involving in politics for a profit

I’m searching for higher learning in hopes for a higher living

You open to different cultures, my opus in hieroglyphics

My nigga

Embarked on an inner search for forgiveness

My nigga

The death of a kid and birth of a cynic

My nigga

We traded our Laurens for foreign women

May the lord see our flaws, and may God be my witness

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ain’t no brighter days for a nigga like me

The church don’t pray for a nigga like me

The Lord ain’t saving niggas like me

It’s not likely, nah nah

Ain’t no fairy tales for a nigga like me

The world doesn’t label the nigga like me

Them educated niggas like me

It’s unlikely

I’m surely some sort of sorcerer

You flying flags while I flag down a flying saucer, huh

Jesus of Nazareth raps to the non-exalted

It’s Hera’s daughter reviving a dying culture

Live and direct from the fleshes you hide inside

Made of rotten carcasses piled to protect yourself from the vultures

But we survive like the phoenix rise

And arrive like the bronze in Egypt

My bronze people reaching a solstice

Hope to be seen as A Sea of Hope to the hopeless

They go to drink but the oil leaked in the ocean

Formula 40−40 will force the erosion

We taking .40s to 40−40 and posting

A lot of souls are going missing

A lot of goals get lost in prison

A lot of cold in this description

You out of focus, get the picture?

And even after all my logic and my theories

I gotta say «my nigga» so my niggas feel me

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ain’t no brighter days for a nigga like me

The church don’t pray for a nigga like me

The Lord ain’t saving niggas like me

It’s not likely, nah nah

Ain’t no fairy tales for a nigga like me

The world doesn’t label the nigga like me

Them educated niggas like me

It’s unlikely

You think, that you don’t have to ever quit

You think, that you can get away with it

You think, the light won’t be evident

It’s almost over now, almost over now

Something on your chest, better get it off

There’ll be no-one left, when we send it off

We ain’t going to take it no more

It’s almost over now, almost over now
