Halle-lu-jah Lyrics

Sister Dixon once told me, "Let the Holy Spirit be your guide

Face the truth boldly without compromise

let the scriptures interpret themselves

and let know man deter you from serving God

Here I am, yeah I'm still the man

I'm a cocky, crazy Christian, but you know just where I stand

I dropped a couple bands just to build this brand

Love my wife, and love my children, follow Jesus, is the plan

But I got so many haters in the way, whether family or friends

Dealing with em every day

A couple years ago, they could've caught this fade

Now it's nothing just to kneel with them and pray

Let the spirit have His way - hey

I ain't even frontin like it's easy

Cause Satan wanna test me, and these devils wanna tease me

They keep telling me, boy you must humble

But my conscious keeps on yelling at me rumble, young man rumble

You don't know what it's like to walk in my shoes

Yeah we both got testimonies but we're singing different blues

please don't get it confused, you aint me, I ain't you

I'm a sinner but I'm tryna make it through

Like Hallej-lu-yah

Matthew 10:36 tells us that a person's enemies will be his own household

You can't love your parents, your spouse, or your kids more than you love God

The minute that you show them that God comes first

Wait awhile; enemies

They want me dead, yeah they want me dead

I ain't looking for attention, just repeating what they said

My step-daddy put his pistol to my head

And you wonder why I'm 17 still pissing the bed

So traumatic, my life was so traumatic

And sometimes I get to shaking when I start to look back at it

Thank God for all His mercy and grace

He sees the beauty in my heart

You see the angry on my face

So quick to judge me, your words will never budge me

Just be careful how you nudge me, cause I'm still a little nutty

I really wish somebody would just love me

So I'm putting all my faith in who's above me

I can be difficult and make it tough to hug me

Cause I am I'm not emotional, emotions make me ugly

I cried like a baby for years, I still cry

But my faith is way greater than fears – so Hallej-lu

For years they told me I needed to humble myself without explanation

Then the brother JD told me, humility is not thinking less of yourself

It's thinking of yourself less… just do God's work

You can't be a strong Black man in this land

Show em you understand

They gone' think you want the plan

The spouse wants me docile, pastor wants me docile

Show a little passion and they're quick to call you hostile

They want you to believe what they believe – don't believe it

If you're a man of God then you know His name is Jesus

So, stop with the nonsense, leave it where you found it

Cause I ain't with the BS, and you won't catch me around it

You think I'm insular, then you should just be outie

Put your faith in God; do it all without me

I try to hold it down for my fam

But I'll be damned if they don't constantly complain bout' who I am

I'm too this, I'm too that, I'm too Christian, I'm too Black

Well, if you're a man of God, homie, why you even strapped

I ain't perfect, but I'm worth it, and they hate it when you know it

They go'ne crucify you the minute you show it

Hallej-lu
