[Intro]
F G 4x
You're not using your heart for
What hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
Em
I thank God for healing
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
Thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
Em
I thank God for building
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God I'm living
[Verse 1]
F
Sometime I feel like a stranger, maybe I ain't from here
Em
World going crazy, how could that be unclear?
F
Know that I'm a soldier, heart's are my battleground
Em
Sword in the holster, had to come back around
F
I ain't trying to hide away, I just had to meditate
Em
I ain't got a lot to say but the ancestors may
F
Speaking to the whole globe, numbers don't occur to me
Em
You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me
F
I jump in with both feet nothing low key
Em
You can find me where I'm s'posed be, where my folks be
F
If you listen very closely you know who chose me
Em
Nothing that I own owns me and so I'm so free
F
I remember being hungry needing groceries
Em
Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed
F
Got a message to the police:
Em
You're not using your heart for what hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
Em
I thank God for healing
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
Thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
