"Donda" lyrics

"Donda"
(feat. Stalone & The World Famous Tony Williams)

Forever, yeah
Can you hear me? Yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
Glory, glory, glory, glory

It feels good to be home
And to all of you, I thank you so much for your support
For your support of me for so many years
And more importantly, for the work you continue to do
What do you want me to talk about?
Well, he said something that was a little bit dangerous
He told me I could talk about anything I wanted to
And you know, I am my son's mother
The man I describe in the introduction as being so decidedly different
My son (When you're runnin' outta time and you're not outta time)
And what made the project extra special to me is
I got a chance to share not only what he has meant to me
But what he has meant to a generation (Change the time)
As one writer said, we came from somewhere
Not just from the wombs of our mothers and the seeds of our fathers
But from a long line of generations who came before us

It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)
It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)

Forever, yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
What did I teach him? (Glory)
And why Kanye ain't scared?

"Donda" includes excerpts from a speech by Donda West, Kanye West's mother, at Chicago Statue University on the 19th of October, 2007.
The chorus, sung by Sunday Service Choir, is based on the verse "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever" from Ephesians 1:11-23 in The Bible.
