Do I let them know

(Humming)
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh
And he ain’t got no one by his side
No oh oh
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh
Keep a straight face when I ask God why
Prayin over bodies beggin them don’t die
Seen the light once never felt so high
You go get your own keep ya hands off mine
I went looking for the Lord only found myself
Rejecting wealth accepting health
Still a product of the projects so watch yaself
I’m only giving what you giving me that hand been dealt
It's been a long lonely road to redemption
Heaven’s rejects they come to my protection
Apocalypse now in my reflection
Take a long walk no particular direction
Breathe
Keep a straight face
Made you look but can’t see
Feeling homesick for who I used to be
Ain’t no liberation til we all get free
Come to find out God’s just like me
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh
And he ain’t got no one by his side
No oh oh
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh
The heartless depart with no hope for heaven
Now it's hell on earth I'll leave first but first I'm tellin
In conversation with the Lord he said I call you my child
Now here's a long list of styles, smile, breathe
Take it all in let your soul fly free
Keep a straight face better never let em see
They might not believe that you're just like me
Said your our father couple hail marys
This human been bloomin, the shit I'm consumin
Could lead to my ruin, that joy I'm persuin
In bliss I'll be fluent, be spiritually fluid, under no influence
I remain the truest
Kept a straight face when I asked God why
Let my voice shake but I'm not gon cry
Nah, I'm not gon cry
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh
And he ain’t got no one by his side
No oh oh
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh
And he ain’t got no one by his side
No oh oh
The Lord’s been crying by the wayside
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh no
Lonely
Oh oh oh

Chhoti Maa: Vengo de oro,
vengo de espanto,
mulato mestizo
nativo sin santos.
Vengo de lluvia
cuevas espuma
Yemaya ajusta
mece mi cuna.
Hijas de barcos,
desenterrados
una del coro
del lodo
del fango.
Lloro por todo
ese despojo
grita la tierra
por todo ese plomo
Llegamos tumbamos
con frío y con llanto,
Se aclara la noche
cuando danzamos.
Cadenas de sangre
que reflejamos,
memorias de luces
que encarnamos.
el sol que se oculta
que vuelve a nacer
junta a tu gente
pa’l amanecer
el sol que se oculta
que vuelve a nacer
junta a tu gente
pa’l amanecer
Dejame

Habla Versoul
Versoul: Closing my eyes take a deep breath in
Guarding myself in the moment when it's chaotic
My heart is heavy, mind sharper than a machete
I hold it steady like this is the calm before confetti yea
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what I say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what my mama say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(Dice mi abuelo)
Oh oh oh here tonight
Dizzy: I said, ride for the motherland we got us
With the drums and the guns ain't afraid to buck
Let my crew come through make you feel the rush
Sopla viento, Puerto Rico stand up come on
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what I say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what my mama say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(Dice tu abuela)
Oh oh oh here tonight
Tell them
Versoul: Even when it feels like it's not gonna be
Your pain and suffering are temporary
Believe in yourself let your spirit fly free
You were made for more than what the eyes can see
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what I say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(That's what my mama say)
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
(Dice mi abuela)
Oh oh oh here tonight
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
Oh oh oh everything gon be alright
Oh oh oh here tonight
So tell me will Heaven be waiting
Or Is it what I'm thinking, everything's gonna be alright
Don't go hold on to the bright light
Stay here with me one more night
I promise I'll hold you down
