See my nigga boo strenth doesn′t come from what you can do
It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't
When life′s pressures fail to crushYou they succeed at making you diamond
Kumbaya we shall overcome we shall overcome
I dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I told My family before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
Kumbaya we shall overcome we shall overcome
I dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I told my family before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I probably could have blamed it on the poverty
We was messed up
But I overcame and everybody doubted me I'm good now
Like Mary Mary nothing but the god in me thank god
My body is a temple so that mean the god is me
Most high often seen most fly most unrecognized so I stay in overdrive
I supply they demand so I do it for the fans my supply In high demand
Wanna get high im the man I was
Blackballed scrutinized named in all type of shit
Ran with them niggas didn't nobody fuck wit no radio play now
I′m a one hit when actually it ain′t even not hit
Kumbaya we shall overcome we shall overcome I
Dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I told My family before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
Kumbaya we shall overcome we shall overcome I
Dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I told My family before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I am a man before everything
I stood in the middle of the dark water
While the old dope boy sold heavy cane project
Baby born in the trap stay with the shackles worn to the back
Made it out the motherfucker swear to god no going back amazing grace
That paper chasing amazing race
I made a way when a lot of you weak niggas payed for place
The struggle gave me something to stand proud for my hustle
Made me stand out from the crowd boy
I think about the bad it make the good look so much better
I had to overcome shit now it's time to up
The lever use to be up shits creek leaky boat
Ain′t have no paddle but now a nigga climbing
With that baggage and the status up the ladder
Kumbaya we shall overcome we shall overcome
I dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before
I started we shall overcome, we shall overcome
I told my family before I started we shall overcome, we shall overcome
Kumbaya we shall overcome, we shall overcome
I dropped it way in the water and amazing grace was done
I told my homies before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
I told My family before I started we shall overcome we shall overcome
