You Are Good

You are good, God

And we goin' sing it from the mountain like

From the rural to the downtown like

Around the world yeah we soundin' like

And we can't stop, let the chant rock

All tribes and tongues be singing voices ringing

But I ain't even got not a tongue to sing with

No tongue, no problem if the rocks cry out

I'll open up this mouth and get loud

I hear'm asking: "maybe stop rapping"

"White boy with a lisp just shouldn't happen"

But if cancer didn't silence me

Then why you think I'd hide so easily?

Nah, I was born in the valley I was bred in the shadows

I came up through the alleys of the dead and the gallows

Ki-killed cancer twice, conquered suicide

Took a blow to the face, but returned to the fight, yeah

And now I'm back with a new shine

Blank Canvas, God is making a new kind

And so we off on a new grind with a new rhyme, and I'm like

You are good, God

And we goin' sing it from the mountain like

From the rural to the downtown like

Around the world yeah we soundin' like

And we can't stop, let the chant rock

And we goin' sing it from the mountain like

From the rural to the downtown like

Around the world yeah we soundin' like

And we can't stop, let the chant rock

To my survivors, every one of you fighters

Giving all that you got with all the strength it requires

To not toss in the towel or step away from the fire

To keep pushing higher when gravity is dire

To the orphan child with a home desire

To the chemo patient, God, I know you're tired

To the drug addict the devil is a liar

To every single mom trying to raise'm all by herself

You are not by yourself

There is a God and he is not on stealth

With a peace that surpasses all your understanding

A peace you can access with a simple practice, this:

To sing when you don't feel like singing

And dream when you don't feel like dreaming

And praise when the day is just beating you down

Open up your mouth and get loud

You are good, God

Ha, it's been a journey

You are good, God

I should be dead right now

You are good, God

But with this breath I've been given

You are good

I can't help but keep singing, go!

Don't lose heart

Don't lose faith

At the end of the day

God's gonna show up

We gonna be OK

Don't lose heart

Don't lose faith

At the end of the day

God's gonna show up

We gonna be OK

Don't lose heart

Don't lose faith

At the end of the day

God's gonna show up

We gonna be OK
