Demun Jones, Upchurch - God's Work lyrics
[Demun Jones, Upchurch - God's Work lyrics]
I ain't much on history
I can't go back and change a thing
My great great granddaddy was a rebel
Some think I should be ashamed
But he was seventeen when he volunteered and
Followed right down 'til the end
If he ain't survived the whole damn thing
I never woulda met my friends
I never woulda met my lady
I never woulda had my girls
I never woulda seen Jones County
I never coulda rocked this world
So I'll be screaming every
Tension I'd a hate
You can point your fingers at me
But I'll keep doin' God's
Work in this world
Just watch me if you don't believe
Regardless of the history
Just watch me if you don't believe
Scared color wouldn't exist if
The world was blind
We would live off the words like
This song is full of lines
Our vocabulary wouldn't be filled
With hatred and hearsay
But the television has pull on the
Things that we all say
Yeah I'm tattooed with the heritage
Of my family before me
But the negative parts of history
Does not make me important
I ain't got no type of
Privilege another man can't have
I get searched the same as a felon
'cause the ink on my hands
But if I get pulled over
With some marijuana on me
And the man who arrests me takes
Me way down to the county
I still ain't gonna hate him
He's got a family to feed
And probably a wife to hold, when
He lays down to sleep
Uh
I ain't much on history
I can't unsee the things I saw
But them boys was my brothers when
We were little just playin' ball
I never thought twice about what I was from
Or what the color was of this skin
I just wanted to hear when I got up
To bat so our team could win
And our team could win, our team could win
It might be time for a conversation
So we can work out our
Differences and understand each other
So we can love each other
Like God intended us to
We're brothers in flesh and spirit
So don't let your sight be altered
By hatred and television ratings
Love you guys
I can't go back and change a thing
My great great granddaddy was a rebel
Some think I should be ashamed
But he was seventeen when he volunteered and
Followed right down 'til the end
If he ain't survived the whole damn thing
I never woulda met my friends
I never woulda met my lady
I never woulda had my girls
I never woulda seen Jones County
I never coulda rocked this world
So I'll be screaming every
Tension I'd a hate
You can point your fingers at me
But I'll keep doin' God's
Work in this world
Just watch me if you don't believe
Regardless of the history
Just watch me if you don't believe
Scared color wouldn't exist if
The world was blind
We would live off the words like
This song is full of lines
Our vocabulary wouldn't be filled
