Well, I'm runnin'
I'm tryin' to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half it won't do
I'm runnin', runnin' for freedom y'all
'Cause ninety-nine and a half, just won't do
Now, if your God won't help you
You better try mine
My God is a freedom God
He'll make a way for you
In a weary land
He'll give you rest
When you're tired
Protect you on a danger zone
He'll guide you down a rugged road
And bring you out on the bright side
(Lord, I'm runnin') I'm runnin'
(Tryin' to make a hundred) tryin' to make a hundred
(Ninety-nine) ninety-nine (and a half) and a half, it just won't do
It's a rough and uphill journey
Lord, I'm tryin' to make a hundred (tryin' to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine n(inety-nine) and a half (and a half), it won't do, no, no
Down in Mississippi (it just won't do)
Brothers in jail (ooh, it just won't do)
Uneducated children (ooh, it just won't do)
It's the 21st century (ooh, it just won't do)
It feels like it's 1960 (ooh, it just won't do)
Broken levies (ooh, it just won't do)
Lyin' politicians (ooh, it just won't do)
Runnin' through hatred (ooh, it just won't do)
Homeless babies (ooh, it just won't do)
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom
(Lord, I'm runnin')
I'm runnin', I'm runnin' (Lord, I'm runnin')
I'm tryin' to make a hundred (tryin' to make a hundred)
'Cause ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half) just won't do
Aha, my God's a freedom God
My God is a peaceful God
He's a livin' God
And He's a merciful God
He has a kingdom, you know
And a city called Heaven
12 gates to that city
24 elders in the city
48 angels in the city
The streets are paved with gold
Have you heard of a city?
And don't you wanna go?
The address is 100
I gotta make a hundred
You see, I got ninety-nine and a half
But just ain't quite enough
I wanna go to that city
City called Heaven
No more cryin', no more hatred
Always howdy, howdy, howdy
And never goodbye
Oh, that city
Come on, don't you wanna go?
I tell ya, the address is 100, 100, 100
See, ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
No, no, no, no, no
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
I'm here to tell ya that ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
I can't use it
