You´re not using your heart for What hearts are for
They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light Thank God for listening, listen You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light I thank God I´m living
Sometime I feel like a stranger, maybe I ain´t from here World going crazy, how could that be unclear? I know that I´m a soldier, heart´s on my battleground Sword in the holster, had to come back around I ain´t trying to hideaway, I just had to meditate I ain´t got a lot to say but the ancestors may Speaking to the whole globe, numbers don´t occur to me
You can listen so low ´cause you´re the whole world to me I jump in with both feet nothing low key You can find me where I´m s´posed be, where my folks be If you listen very closely you know who chose me Nothing that I own owns me and so I´m so free I remember being hungry needing groceries Nighttime getting no sleep ´til my nose bleed Got a message to the police:
You´re not using your heart for What hearts are for
They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life I thank God for healing You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening, listen You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light I thank God I´m living
Not for one second I believe what you´re telling me I know you invented disease and sell the remedy Universe is sending me centuries of memories So that the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies Ain´t worry bout ya threatening me, I´m just being honest I ain´t buying fear just because it´s all you got left
We just want to make love ´til we wake up I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness And you know they want to paint us with the same brush Wanna entertain us ´til we fill our grave up Alright okay but when it´s all said and it´s all done And I look back at the trophies I won I will only count one
I´m using my heart for What hearts are for
They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life I thank God for healing You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light Thank God for listening, listen
You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light I thank God I´m living
And I know who I am, I know whose I am When your wings are fly and your shoes are stand I´m animated by love, I don´t move by chance Any stage I touch, any place I stand There y´all land, living in the world as it is [?] I am, no more and no less than a man Any posessions that I have are just in my head I´m balancing the best I can I´m not making no claims but
I´m using my heart for what hearts are for
All the beauty in this whole life I thank God for healing You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light Thank God for listening, listen You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light I thank God I´m living Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life
