Promised Land Songtext
*gunshot*
Shot dead in the street
Now, I'm stuck in-between
Both worlds, and there's only one exit
Now, I will have to enter, where I go is forever
Where the fuck am I? God damn, that light's so extreme
I can barely see, but I stand witness to a place you can only dream
It's so clear to me this is where we be when we go to sleep
If the devil dare be beat, 'cause the underworld bleedin' into the zen
No morе nightmares happen when you sharе these means
I can see my gate, I can tell that the light is divine
Starin' in, I can see my fate
I don't know how I got it, but I need my break
So much time on the grind, but at least I'm safe
What I do to deserve this? It's a disservice
I'ma burn this, contradictory sermons
In our design, they provide divine purpose
Now divided, tryna find how I earned this
If everything I did was a part of the plan
In the heart of the man with the harp in his hand
Then it's all a sham, the carpenter's hand is hard to exam
They claim that you love, and now you forgive
I thought that you sucked, you handed me this?
I didn't believe you existed, but here I am ready
To cleanse away all of my sins, damn
Shot dead in the street
Now, I'm stuck in-between
Both worlds, and there's only one exit
Now, I will have to enter, where I go is forever
What the fuck is this?
Can't be any fuckin' afterlife, right?
I wasn't told that a man like me
Coulda wound up stuck with so little light
My souls been ripped from my body, man
Is this supposed to be the promised land?
If God can hear me, I ain't the one you gotta take down there
Is this because of my faith? I ain't believe in their ways!
If I had prayed to you more and I coughed up the bills
Maybe I could be up at the gates!
Maybe the people that follow you don't understand
That they can't even live like a man
All I was doin' was doin' my mission
To keep all my people from being the dammed, damn
All of the lines I talk, all of the lines I've walked
Now, I been lined in chalk, talkin' to god in the dark
Like, "How did I fuck this up?"
Ready for everything thrown at me
From the depths of hell to the bones, and bleed
For the sins I've done that I won't repeat
You can take my life and you might just be—
Shot dead in the street
Now, I'm stuck in-between
Both worlds, and there's only one exit
Now, I will have to enter, where I go is forever
Shot dead in the street
Now, I'm stuck in-between
Both worlds, and there's only one exit
Now, I will have to enter, where I go is forever
Where the fuck am I? God damn, that light's so extreme
I can barely see, but I stand witness to a place you can only dream
It's so clear to me this is where we be when we go to sleep
If the devil dare be beat, 'cause the underworld bleedin' into the zen
No morе nightmares happen when you sharе these means
