glory / stranger

minor, derek

one day when the glory comes

it will be ours

it will be ours

oh

one day when the war is won

we will be sure

we will be sure

oh glory

oh

black on black crime

black on black violence

we don't talk to police

that's black on black silence

living on welfare

living in hell here

when everybody is broke

you fear for your welfare

uh

look at those thugs

how dangerous they are with gun in hand

look what them ghetto girls posting on their instagram

don't bring them to our church

'cause we don't want that riffraff

what you expect when most of us grew up wishing for dads?

no jobs in our community and people losing hope

why you think he's on that corner selling dope?

it ain't for fun

it's a plan

when we were chained on that boat

america lynched our rights and we still hanging from the rope

and i promise

i want to leave it in the past; but it's hard

'cause i've just seen an unarmed teen shot down like a dog

i pray you hear my heart

cause it's heavy when i'm rapping

see

the reason for this song is that i'm asking. for the glory. of the lord

one day when the glory comes

it will be ours

it will be ours

oh glory

oh

now the war is not over

victory isn't won

and we'll fight on to the finish

then when it's all done

we'll cry glory

oh glory

oh

we'll cry glory

oh glory

oh

and i'm convinced that we should love one another

regardless of our pigment we all bleed the same color

we're made in the image of god like no other

it's clear the world is hurt

but i can tell you that he loves us

he loves us

so even if you hate me

i'm gonna love you

i'm gonna heal your heart until the lord take this pain from you

i'm gonna pray for you

i'm gonna feel your struggle

you gonna feel mine

i'm gonna walk with you. 'til the glory. of the lord

one day when the glory comes

it will be ours

it will be ours

oh glory

oh

oh glory
