johnie ray - holy spirit lyrics
[verse 1: johnie ray]
holes in my mama’s ceiling
got me appealing to the real king
for help
am i denied or rely on self
determination
patiently waiting
for dreams
to be reality in the making
moved to la with no plan in mind
but deep down inside
really wish that i could find
that thing that makes me really feel alive
but bed bugs and roaches
making it hard to even sleep at night
not sleepin tight
wanna find a place to hide
at least close my eyes
to the unbelievably unique undoing
that’s become my life
what’s right
play it safe, find spouse
have kids, dog, house
white picket fence we live behind
i
a doctor like heathcliff
instead chose a steeper cliff
to climb
will i make it to the top in time
my soul cries
[chorus: johnie ray and dj cave]
you’re never gonna fall soldier
keep your head up (repeat)
[verse 2: johnie ray]
in slow mo hop out the car door
blasting like cleo
and set it off
in a hoodie and some cornrows
to all you zimmerman’s
make your life dimmer man
though i’m a slimmer man
eat beats like dinner man
and the dunn case
done got me wondering
is their value in our black skin
or are we just a waste
since emanc-p-tion
our price falling down like the yen
and yang they say it ain’t a thing
but a chicken wing
but with so many suffering
our futures buffering
on the screen that spinning ring
so irritating
got me contemplating
with a past like i had
i should be celebrating
because i could’ve been dead
when these dreds bust me in the head
but you brought me out instead
you brought me through
and lord i thank you
i thank you with each and every breath
even when i ain’t got nothing left
i’m riding for you till the death
and even when i’m gone
my praise will resurrect and connect
with this tune in your deck
and like the inn at the beginning
that didn’t let your family in
churches turn me away
but i keep on praising him
so in this cramp apartment of mine
i’m gonna open up venetian blinds
and let your son shine
in this cramp apartment of mine
i’m gonna open up venetian blinds
and let your son shine
[outro: johnie ray]
look up at the sky
i can see the light
your holy spirit
i can feel it
let it be my guide (repeat)
