[Intro]
F G 4x
You're not using your heart for
What hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
Em
I thank God for healing
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
Thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
Em
I thank God for building
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God I'm living
[Verse 1]
F
Sometime I feel like a stranger, maybe I ain't from here
Em
World going crazy, how could that be unclear?
F
Know that I'm a soldier, heart's are my battleground
Em
Sword in the holster, had to come back around
F
I ain't trying to hide away, I just had to meditate
Em
I ain't got a lot to say but the ancestors may
F
Speaking to the whole globe, numbers don't occur to me
Em
You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me
F
I jump in with both feet nothing low key
Em
You can find me where I'm s'posed be, where my folks be
F
If you listen very closely you know who chose me
Em
Nothing that I own owns me and so I'm so free
F
I remember being hungry needing groceries
Em
Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed
F
Got a message to the police:
Em
You're not using your heart for what hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
Em
I thank God for healing
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
Thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
Em
I thank God for building
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God I'm living
[Verse 2]
F
Not for one second I believe what you're telling me
Em
I know you invented disease and sell the remedy
F
Universe is sending me centuries of memories
Em
So the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need
F
I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree
Em
Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies
F
Ain't worry bout ya threatening me, I'm just being honest
Em
I ain't buying fear just because it's all you got left
F
We just want to make love 'til we wake up
Em
I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness
F
And you know they want to paint us with the same brush
Em
Wanna interchain us 'til we fill our grave up
F
Alright okay but when it's all said and it's all done
Em
And I look back at the trophies I won
F
I will only count one
Em
I'm using my heart for what hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
Em
I thank God for healing
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
Thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
Em
I thank God for building
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God I'm living
[Verse 3]
F
And I know who I am
I know whose I am
Em
On your wings, I fly
And in your shoes, I stand
F
I'm animated by love, I don't move by chance
Em
Any stage I touch or any place I stand
F
There y'all land, living in the world as it is
Em
Cracked vessel, I am no more and no less than a man
F
Any po-sessions that I have are just in my hand
Em
I'm balancing the best that I can
F
I'm not making no claims but
Em
I'm using my heart for what hearts are for
[Chorus]
F
All the beauty in this whole life (uh)
Em
I thank God for healing
F
And You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God for listening, listen
F
You've been trying to build me up my whole life
Em
I thank God for building
F
You ain't got to get me lit, I got my own light
Em
I thank God I'm living
F
Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life
