Chorus: Kanye West

Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Now we've been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)

Verse 1: Kanye West

Sittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin' About all I've been through, I wish I was dreamin' Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons (Jesus) I watched so many people leave (Lord) I see 'em change by the season, that's mama's seasonin' God got you, the devil's watchin', he just peekin' in I know I made a promise that I'd never let the reaper in (Jesus) But lately, I've been losin' all my deepest friends (Lord) And lately, I've been swimmin' on the deepest end It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there You been down so much you don't even know what's upstairs (Jesus) Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there (Lord) And while I introduce the party, you say it's up there Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions And everything that you do good, it just go unnoticed (Jesus) Did He tell you that you good and just stay focused? (Lord) Mama, you was the life of the party I swear you brought life to the party When you lost your life, it took the life out the party (Jesus) That woman rode with me like a Harley (Lord) Visions of my cousins in a cell really scarred me Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army 'Cause they been killin' **** since **** was watchin' Barney (Jesus) You want dreams to come true? But I have nightmares (Lord) 'Cause if that come to life, then I might not be right here Been in the dark so long, don't know if the light here But I'm just reaching for the stars like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus) And now I'm lightyears ahead of those nightmares (Lord) I deaded those night terrors when the night clears And if I talk to Christ, can I bring my mother back to life? And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus) But back to reality, where everything's a tragedy (Lord) You better have a strategy or you could be a statistic Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic And mama steady crying 'cause she really the victim (Jesus) And she's getting high and she's getting addicted (Lord) And her older boy just stuck with the picture, painted vivid That's a family portrait, and her daughter just absorbed it Sixteen, pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it (Jesus) But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord) Baby shower time, father didn't show up Now she just feeling nauseous like she finna throw up The water flows down her legs, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus) A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord) And she's still dependent on her mom Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus) And her mom still doing drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord) Is it real love? Do the scars really heal up? From all the pain that done built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus) A week done flew by, big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord) Left his little brother on the side, bleeding from the side He seein' red, it's like he's bleeding through his eyes To see him dead, the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside (Jesus) Even let him get the last meal He done with the streets after this, this his last kill (Lord) He gotta show him that it's that real He ran up on him with the pipe like, "****, stand still" (Jesus) "You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord) "Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ" He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ" Then big bro just blacked out and all you seen was the light (Jesus, Lord)

Chorus: Kanye West

Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)

Verse 2: Jay Electronica

Uh-huh, in the name of the true and living God, the beneficent, the merciful (Hallelujah) Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul (Jesus) Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage (Lord) To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica (Shoo) It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor Back from the great beyond like the Son of Man or the Son of Donda? (Jesus) I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or the Honda (Lord) But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts) What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus) In Tepoztlán, they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord) I shake the tectonic plates of the game if I lay one vocal The God is interstellar while you fellas remain local My bars is like the pyramid temples of Pacal Votan (Jesus) As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord) I could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel My sword and my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throne But when you great, they wanna say you took a L, José Castillo (Jesus) I'm in the fight here, fight here for what seemed like lightyears (Lord) My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears Thirty pieces of silver clout, my Pierre price tier It's a war outside, it's a war outside (Jesus) It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside (Lord)

Chorus: Kanye West

Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Now we've been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) He lives in a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord) Been through a lot of things Tell me if you know someone that needs (Jesus, Lord)

Verse 3: Giovanni Johven

Yeah, I lost my cousin, a piece of my soul torn away A bond unbroken, but the world's got its own way He was the light in the dark when my path grew faint Now he's a star that shines on the coldest of days He walked through life with a smile that could brighten the room Never knew that his story would end so soon But in the silence, his laughter echoes through A gentle reminder that love is the only truth I pour out these words, let 'em flow like a stream Where pain meets the paper and turns into a dream He was more than just flesh and bone, he was a beam Of hope that shone through the clouds, a guiding team I remember the nights we used to share Our hopes and our fears, like a secret we'd swear But now he's a memory, a shadow in the air That whispers, "Keep pushing, I'm still right there" Life's cruel, it don't come with a manual But we got each other, that's all we ever had to handle Now he's a chapter in the book of life Where every page tells of moments that were so grand The world keeps spinning, like it's got nothin' to say But in every turn, he's with me, every day Guiding my pen, as I lay these words to rest In the pages of time, our hearts forever connected, yes So I rise to the occasion, with a heavy heart But I know he's watching, he's never too far apart I'm living for us, both sides of this chart Where the stars and the earth, together, we'll make our mark Rest in peace, my cousin, you're the best part of me I'll carry you with me, like the ink in my decree Life's a journey, and death is the last beat But the rhythm of your spirit, it never leaves me And though the tears fall, like rain on the leaves Your name is etched in the core of belief In a world that's cold, you're my reprieve The beat of your heart, now forever we grieve But we keep movin', that's the only way to heal Our steps in sync, like the rhythm we feel Your spirit's with me, like the wind in my sails Guiding my vessel through the storms that never cease So here's to the moments, the joy, the pain we once knew The love that's unspoken, the memories we've been through You're the reason, the force that keeps me true Forever in my heart, forever we'll rendezvous Yeah, I'm just a soul, floating in the abyss, contemplating my existence Life's a blur, a twirl, like mist, my thoughts are persistent Uh, mm In the quiet of the night, where the stars play hide and seek Where the whispers of the souls are the only rhymes that I can speak I'm contemplating life, death's got me in its grip The final act, the ultimate sleep, but before that, let's take a peep At the chapters of this book that's yet to reach the end Where every line, every word, is a battle that we defend Against the grim reaper, the one who takes us all But before the final call, let's stand tall and have a ball Look into the mirror, stare into my soul's abyss Life's a fickle mistress, she takes without a kiss I'm just a pilgrim, my time is but a twist In the fabric of the cosmos, I'm just a stitch, a mere exist Walk through the cemetery, but I'm not dressed for mourning Got angel wings, but I'm still crash landing Tell me 'bout the afterlife, what's the tournin'? I'm just tryna make it through the day without the morning's warning I spit these verses like a sage on the mount But when the lights go out, it's just me, no amount Of gold or diamonds can't rebound the time we're counting Every second, minute, hour, we're all just bounty My heart's a ticking clock, but my mind's a cloud I navigate the skies, where the stars are loud They whisper secrets that only the brave allow But when I hit the ground, it's all about the shroud Death's a silent force, it's got no favorite song It don't play fair, it don't care how strong or long You've been living, it's coming, so let your life belong To the legacy you build, that'll live on when you're gone Rest in peace to my kinfolk, whose spirit's taken flight The one who taught me the essence of life, even through the darkest night Their memory lingers like the softest candlelight Guiding through the storms, like the North Star in my plight Jesus, my Lord
