- When we wash all our pain away
We say, "Oh, my Lord" When we can't make it through the day We pray, oh, my Lord It's a test coming to my faith We pray, oh, my Lord, mmh Will my people ever be safe? In the land that takes us and breaks us, I can't be sure Walking with the Lord, I see footprints My mama always told me use my good sense Common always looking for the good sense Since we all got good in our essence In the hood sense, we all good anyway That's why you always hear another dollar, 'nother day I see the day as a new beginning Movement of the people, movement of the women To get the Earth spinning in the right direct This movie of life, sometimes might project Act, scenes that don't seem serene I like palo santo, put on Love Supreme And get into the being of the great I am That's when I get to seeing just how great I am Many many times from mistakes, I ran But I'm just a cake, let me bake, goddamn I pray I don't forsake my man And whenever I fall, on faith, I land Imperfections, resurrections In the mirror staring at God's reflection Reflecting on my aggressions On my regressions, on my obsessions There's a lesson in not feeling less And in seeing life itself as a blessing When we wash all our pain away We say, "Oh, my Lord" When we can't make it through the day We pray, oh, my Lord It's a test coming to my faith We pray, oh, my Lord, mmh Will my people ever be safe? In the land that takes us and breaks us, I can't be sure Yeah The jubilee of a newer me Giving my enemies something new to see My community, they be fueling me In the struggle of us, there's a unity The moral universe stay schooling me Will the king of kings really rule in me? I'm an instrument, stay in tune with me This orchestrated by Kareem, Samora, Boom, and me If agape had a Cupid, she'd be shooting me This rap here is fear's eulogy Escape rooms with glasses of wine Just another crutch for my brokeness A term that I got for my therapist As a black man, I feel I should be sharin' this In the hood they say we crazy and we derelicts But we needed for our kids and our marriages The old folks say we don't do that But taking care of self is the new black Unconventional ways, unconditional ways Mediation, mindfulness, it's just given to praise I'm in a phase, all I see is victory You on that wave, then come and get with me I only want what's meant for me And say the things that's sent to me In penitentiaries, I met the most enlightened Finding the losses, Heaven's excitement I write with a force of a kid that wanted to Be in The Source, but that changed, of course I maintained the sauce and became a boss I apologize if I came across As judgmental, or self-righteous 'Cause in you, I see his likeness When we wash all our pain away We say, "Oh, my Lord" When we can't make it through the day We pray, oh, my Lord It's a test coming to my faith We pray, oh, my Lord, mmh Will my people ever be safe? In the land that takes us and breaks us, I can't be sure
