Revival Lyrics

No, you didn't grow up in the 80s as a mixed child

In a small town from a place that was really racist

Did your people wanna fight you

Cause you a nappy headed mix white dude

Lookin' at you like you was the one that's makin' all the weird faces

Did you grow up in the West and got blessed

Hold on to they good graces

Then the same set, try to set you up into a dying and livin' reckless

Now, tell me, did you ever get abandoned in a city that you never been

Cause your mama went and did ten years in the pen

Got you feelin' like you never have her in your life again

Tell me, did you ever see your friends

Get shot, you run and try to save them

And now you sittin' there with all the blood on your hands

Worried' about your children

Cause they stay up in the same place that this all began

Maybe then you could understand

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fightin' through these trials

brought my soul to the fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh

I turn my hurt to a choir

Now it's time for revival

I was born a survivor

Tell the devil that his times up

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fightin' through these trials

Lead my soul threw the fire

Ooh

I Turn my hurt to a choir

Now it's time for revival

I was just born a survivor

Tell all these devils and demons they times up

Now you didn't learn how to use pro tools

With no youtube with a dude named Brandon Baker

What do you know about Mars Head and the Corner Boys

Made a lot of noise comin' from my trailer

I fell in love with a chicken head and had some babies

Then I messed around and let it go, it drove me crazy

Had me feelin' like my mama couldn't come and save me

Look at what the world did to my, my poor baby

What do you know about movin' to Indiana and

Meeting your little brother and his mother then your life switch

I was sittin' in the darkness

Then my family came along and help me, turn on my light switch

Now I'm livin' off in Florida

Got me some equipment

Now it's time for me to flow and make some nice hits

Now whenever they ask me

How I make it through it all

I'ma tell them all

Like this

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fightin' through these trials

Brought my soul to the fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I Turn my hurt into a choir

Now it's time for revival

I was born a survivor

Tell the devil that his times up

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fightin' through these trials

Lead my soul threw the fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've turned my hurt into a choir

Now it is time for revival

I was just born a survivor

Tell all these devils and demons they times up

You would've thought by now I would've made it rappin

But some things in my life didn't wanna let that happen

When my vocals, hit the pro tools

Then you'd know for sure fools

That I'm really gon' create magic

This the movie that I'm livin', homie, I ain't acting

I done heard all your songs, y'all be really cappin

Got me feelin' like it's really up to me to go and get it

Lord knows that I really wanna make it happen

What do you know about tryin' to find change

But you can't, your domain, it remains in the projects

Memo+riez of the flame got that villain' in your veins

Mayne it become a whole different mindset

I can paint a pretty picture of my pain

That'll leave your brain stained from a lyrical paintbrush

When you finally meet your dad, find out he smoked crack

That's the stuff that you really can't make up

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fighting' through these trials

Brought my soul through the fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Turned my hurt into a choir

Now it's time for revival

I was born a survivor

Tell the devil that his times up

Lord knows I'm a soldier

I've been fightin' through these trials

Lead my soul threw the fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I turned my hurt into a choir

Now it's time for revival

I was just born a survivor

Tell all these devils and demons they times up

What you say, watch how they play

with your head, watch what they saying,

What you say, watch how they play

With your head,

What you say, watch how they play
