demun jones & upchurch - god's work lyrics

[verse 1: demun jones]
i ain’t much on history, i can’t go back and change a thing
my great great granddaddy was a rebel, some think i should be ashamed
but he was seventeen when he volunteered and fought right down ’til the end
if he ain’t survived the whole d-mn thing, i never woulda met my friends
i never woulda met my lady, i never woulda had my girls
i never woulda seen jones county, i never coulda rocked this world
so i’ll be screamin’ every tension i’d a hate, you can point your fingers at me
but i’ll keep doin’ god’s work in this world, just watch me if you don’t believe
regardless of the history, just watch me if you don’t believe

[verse 2: upchurch]
scared color wouldn’t exist if the world was blind
we would live off the words like this song is full of lines
our vocabulary wouldn’t be filled with hatred and hearsay
but the television has pull on the things that we all say
yeah, i’m tattooed with the heritage of my family before me
but the negative parts of history does not make me important
i ain’t got no type of privilege another man can’t have
i get searched the same as a felon ’cause the ink on my hands
but if i get pulled over with some marijuana on me
and the man who arrests me takes me way down to the county
i still ain’t gonna hate him, he’s got a family to feed
and probably a wife to hold, when he lays down to sleep
uh

[verse 3: demun jones]
i ain’t much on history, i can’t unsee the things i saw
but them boys was my brothers when we were little just playin’ ball
i never thought twice about where they was from or what the color was of their skin
i just wanted to hear when i got up to bat so our team could win
and our team could win, our team could win

[outro: upchurch]
it might be time for a conversation
so we can work out our differences and understand each other
so we can love each other, like god intended us to
we’re brothers in flesh and spirit
so don’t let your sight be altered by hatred and television ratings
love you guys
