Redemption by Wah-Li Lyrics
Intro
Wah-Li!
That’s me. Lessss gerrit
Wassup? Wassup? Wassup?
Verse 1
Nobody asked if you wanna live
Though you can choose how you wanna live
Fucking bitches, that’s your business
Or your biz is trafficking bitches
Some deep shit, it’s no secret
But please do forgive me if I speak it
Lemme start this speech then
I tried running my past. Avoiding who I am
Tryna find my path. Coz I didn’t understand
The blessings that I have and who I truly am
I’m gifted but different. So I spent most times tryna to fit in
Blamed God for decisions I made in the life i was given
Like fuck the way I’m living
On some ignorant shit, was tryna make my life feel bliss
Come to think of it maybe that’s the reason why ignorance is bliss
No ignoring it
Coz most of us niggas mostly fuck with the liquor
And fuck with alotta fuck niggas
Fine chicks but a broke figure
Always looking for a rich nigga
May the Lord be with us
[Hook: Wah-Li (Athi)] x2
I can feel it in my heart
(Redemption)
This is only just the start
It’s not the end (x2)
We’ll rise again
Tell ‘em we’ll rise again
Verse 2
As the sun falls upon the earth
And the rain cleanses the dirt
It’s God’s will that allows for the birth
Of a family tree to strongly stand firm
Branch out and connect with the world
Although you reap what you sow but you don’t really choose your worth
Follow your roots that’ll make things easier to learn
Before planting a seed and rooting yourself in your work
Understand the nature of life coz we’re all different you see
But even so, no apple falls far from the tree
History repeats itself so why not re-write history
Coz you may not get a second chance to reach your destiny
Be great at who you are not just passable
That’s something you should maintain
Although change is possible
Coz it’s impossible not to change
In this evolving world why would you wanna remain the same?
For thousands of years we were enslaved it’s the same but just a different age
Even today it’s still in our brains. Coz when money comes our way we wanna make it rain
So why did we survive storms and dark days just to invite them again
[Hook: Wah-Li (Athi)] x2
I can feel it in my heart
(Redemption)
This is only just the start
It’s not the end (x2)
We’ll rise again
Tell ‘em we’ll rise again
Verse 3
I’m at heaven’s gate about to unleash hell. In need of a savior
It’s the return of the fallen angel. I’m ready to meet my maker
Think that’s creative, what you think of our creator
How do you expect miracles when you only pray for favors?
Asking for savior’s, truth is, it’s mostly us who can save us
I spoke to God through many prayers. He didn’t respond
Though I’ma believer at heart my belief was not strong
I learned He mostly answers when the ego is gone
When you stop claiming you are a God
When those who say they love are gone
When all hope is lost
When you took credit that wasn’t yours now can’t bear the cost
When you truly accept yourself and live for His cause
When you’ve freed your heart that’s when you meet God
Alright, I’m tall, dark and skinny
Spent most my life with niggas tryna skin me
Still humble and friendly
Coz right to the end the Lord will protect me
Through love and the envy
He’s there to repent me
Evil that I can be, deadly if you try to tempt me
Scare me? Barely. You can’t even bare me really
And it’s scary
I got same struggle. I fear me
I got strained muscles, I’m weary. Hear me?
Brain tussle this daily puzzle, a painful hustle, man clearly
Don’t dare to judge me unfairly. The pain is that I love dearly
Merely, ones I trust to keep near me, hear me?
When the day ends at sundown
And the dust settles- on your own now
Not the end of days- staying woke now
The graveyard is not my home ground
Heaven open up the doors now
All the blessing watch them pour out
No way I’ll be dying this poor, how?
Making money only way I know how
[Hook: Wah-Li (Athi)] x2
I can feel it in my heart
(Redemption)
This is only just the start
It’s not the end (x2)
We’ll rise again
Tell ‘em we’ll rise again
