[Intro: Nneka]
Black, blackness, yeah
The Black side of me
C'mon, listen up
[Chorus: Nneka]
In all things we commend ourselves
In much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distress (Walking)
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumult
We belong to God (Walking)
In all things we commend ourselves
In much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distress (Walking)
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumult
We belong to God
[Verse: Jay Electronica]
When the music's in my system
Ain't no tellin' if he Muslim, if he Christian
That's what they be yellin'
I'm God by blood (Uh-huh), not relation (Uh-huh)
So what a bam bam is from creation (What a bam bam)
I never got hated on directly to my face (Hey!)
I never got tased, I never got maced (Nuh-uh)
I never went to jail without rumbling the cops (Whoop!)
Who thought a nigga was a slave trying to put me in my place
And that's just the preface
A universal message from the land of the lepers (Walking)
The camouflaged wolves stealing lambs from the shepherds
Your average John Malkovich
Transform myself to the wind like The Alchemist
You know what the outcome is
[Chorus: Nneka]
In all things we commend ourselves
In much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distress (Walking)
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumult
We belong to God (Walking)
In all things we commend ourselves
In much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distress (Walking)
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumult
We belong to God (Walking)
