Shad - GOD lyrics
[Shad - GOD lyrics]
I think that a human being
Is made to be relational
To mourn with those who mourn and
Rejoice with those who rejoice, so to speak
To break up fights between children or adults
To assist to the most vulnerable
To rescue anyone in danger
To have an impact on
(GOD) unafraid
In the age of the underpaid hunger games
Funny calling this a game I
Didn't want to play no choice
No voice just me and my old boys
Clung to faith
Held one humble page of Tolstoy like
I read it 'til it shredded
Meditated on thе ethics
Every day I'd pray till I get it
And rе-dedicated to the message every day
The weak ones seek the power
That the powerful seek to keep
Only those that don't believe in power
Have the power that can lead to peace
Truthfulness patience
Commitment
These values show the true human being
Ritual in the school of wisdom
And the disciplines of communal living
From the lynchings back to the crucifixion
That ain't superstition that's
The true condition of the human soul
Group division so we sit together
That's how we remember
And pursue the mission see him in my enemy
Don't lose the vision
This ain't new religion this as old as time
Rules and systems like students listening
Learning tune and rhythm groove and pitch
Not to reproduce
But so they can create all the music in 'em
That's how youth bloom and assume positions
In the institutions using intuition
How we stay rooted and lose inhibitions
And evade ambition this a benediction
(God)
And just a little lesson from
Your very own culture that maybe be foreign
So in kinyrwanda a human being is "umuntu"
And when all those other
Qualities I’ve mentioned
Assisting the vulnerable being empathetic
Rescuing anyone in danger
When all those things are in a human being
In umuntu
We say "Afite" or they have "umuntu"
In other words without all those qualities
We definitely cease to be human beings
Okay God bless you, thank you so much
You've always been a joy to us
Keep up the good job keep loving
And we hope to see you sometime soon
Love you love you
Is made to be relational
To mourn with those who mourn and
Rejoice with those who rejoice, so to speak
To break up fights between children or adults
To assist to the most vulnerable
To rescue anyone in danger
To have an impact on
(GOD) unafraid
In the age of the underpaid hunger games
Funny calling this a game I
Didn't want to play no choice
No voice just me and my old boys
