Joyful Rebellion ft. J. Crum Lyrics

Black joy such a beautiful thing

Still here, ain't afraid of the fight

Try to dance through the mourning as we wait for the light

Keep our pace and our peace against the hate in the street

Wishing Babylon was gone as we're facing the beast

Not saying I'm fearless but think fear is lesser

Chose faith and courage to persevere through pressure

Cause the wise elders taught me strive for my freedom

And the Black saints keep my eyes on the kingdom

One day we won't cry no more, die more

And the street bullets won't fly more

Until then I stay hopeful though it's hard to believe

And strive to press forward, disregard the fatigue

Cause I need a joy that gives strength like Olympians

The time is four-thirteen, I mean Philippians

We fight on despite this world being hostile

Shouting Black pride and unashamed of the gospel

Can't break me down

Can't steal my soul

Can't take my joy

My faith is gold

Can't shut me down

I'll never fold

Can't steal my joy

My faith is gold

When it's said and done and ain't no plaques up on my wall

My satisfaction in the fact my God was so involved

That my impact might not be stacks but an answered call

And if this dream, I have distracts you can have it all

My heart is bleeding you hear it beating on every song

No, I ain't leaving, no my allegiance is never lost

I'm not elitist, acknowledge weakness in every wrong

I'm not retreating the Lord he leads me from all along

No y'all ain't getting me, the Lord changed my identity

Forgiven me of who I was and showed me who I'm meant to be

And now I've been at ease, I'm finding benefits on bended knees

Submitting every dream to him accepting all he's bringing me

No separation, no alter or offer of alternatives

Asking for my burdens laid at his feet when I turn to him

And when I feel discouraged cause we turning to his word again

Got fire in my bones can't contain the words I heard within

Can't break me down

Can't steak my soul

Can't take my joy

My faith is gold

Can't shut me down

I'll never fold

Can't steal my joy

My faith is gold

Can't break me down

Can't steal my soul

Can't take my joy

My faith is gold

Can't shut me down

I'll never fold

Can't steal my joy

My faith is gold

Black joy such a beautiful thing

We stand strong, we ain't losing the game

Keep doing your thing

Black joy such a beautiful thing

We keep the faith, we ain't losing the game

Keep doing your thing

Black joy such a beautiful thing

We stand strong, we ain't losing the game

Keep doing your thing

Black joy such a beautiful thing

We keep the faith, we ain't losing the game

Keep doing your thing
