zabbai - hold on lyrics

hold on lyrics
ooh, ooh

in the stillness
i give you room to move
you’ve been the trillest of my friends always speaking truth
maybe it’s the way you shade my melanated cocoa b+tter skin
to know that ive been created an equally favorite color of your kids
how did you, deal with the, racist remarks of the romans yet
love the centurion
because i just don’t
understand a love that can love those who don’t love them

i’ve got some issues within
i know you ain’t
make my skin
with no mistakes
if i traveled to a sundown town would i see the sunrise?
i can’t pretend
to ignore the hate
when it’s always in my face
i’m persecuted for my color as well as my faith help me hold on

hold

the hate i get for my color is nauseating to say the least
hope you know that your savior wasn’t white in the middle east
i’m fighting the inner beast
fruit of the spirit or strange fruit
one from the tree of life the other a strained noose
i’m lookin at both views
one of them fully god
the other made in his image glimmering the color bronze
i know that the sun’ll shine when it’s said and done
like provoking the summertime when the winter’s come
heal my heart, because i don’t want a bitter one
i wanna be ready if you send me down to nineveh
i wanna be steady if the aim is deliverance
tolerating people ain’t the same as forgiving them
i live in a hard place
the rockier the soil the harder i till it
you got weapons for my body but not for my spirit
i surrender my heart & i surrender my feelings but
i’ve got some issues within
i know you ain’t
make my skin
with no mistakes
if i traveled to a sundown town would i see the sunrise?
i can’t pretend
to ignore the hate
when it’s always in my face
i’m persecuted for my color as well as my faith help me hold on

to say you see no color is to willingly blind yourself
from god’s distinguished masterpieces
his glory etched in every brown child carved in his portraiture
jesus lived with full awareness of his jewish heritage
the unspoken prejudices towards samaritans, even the outspoken racism from romans +
yet even he found reason to fulfill his purpose
despite the hostility throw his way
ain’t no way i’m lettin’ evil determine my limits
you loved from the start, so ill love to the finish

hold
hold
hold
