"My Kingdom" lyrics

Jemere Morgan & Wyclef Jean Lyrics

"My Kingdom"

What your gonna stand for
Stand for your kingdom

All mi really want is my kingdom
All mi really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All mi really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

There's justice that we keep wanting
There's problems nobody's solving
Go to war everyday like a soldier
Fight for equality, should be over
Different skin, different name, but the same blood
That we bleed, can we breathe, nuff is enough
Is it a crime to just live
Wanting my freedom?

Why we can't value every human life?
Resistance when we see a different life
If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?
We done with all the preaching, need some peace inna we life

All mi really want is my kingdom
All mi really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All mi really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

Easy how they take a rocket to the moon
But they can't find solution for the ghetto youths
And now they wonder, wonder why we loot and shoot
Cuz when we add the math up it don't compute
And sometimes at night when I talk to God
I think he West Indian with many jobs
Took a hundred days just to get a sign
Just cuz you got a stick don't mean you can lead the blind

And momma told her daughter she gon be okay
Seventeen got a baby on the way
And daddy joned didn't he
Disappeared he gone never see his offspring
When one door close another door opens
Tried to turn the key but it got broken
But I'm so faithful waiting for a miracle

Why we can't value every human life?
Resistance when we see a different life
If it nuh hurt you why they can't live life?
We done with all the preaching, need some peace inna we life

All mi really want is my kingdom
All mi really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All mi really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah

They out here moving so heartless
Blind to the facts in pure darkness
Dem ah judge when's there's been no charges
We not perfect but some act so flawless
Don't deserve to be feeling so restless
Gotta prove that my rights just as precious
We could make di mistakes and don't learn
Change direction time fi stand firm

All mi really want is my kingdom
All mi really want is my freedom
Even though I made some mistakes
Just know my spirit can't break yeah
All mi really want is the wisdom
Nuff fi pass down for the children
We could start now not too late
Hope someday we'll find our way yeah
