Joy Lyrics by The Tongue

Bloodwork: The Best of the Tongue

2022

[Intro: The Tongue]
Joy, joy, joy, joy
[Verse 1: The Tongue, Inês]
Joy to the world, the newborn king
Ya boy back shinin' like KG’s ring
Couple knives in my back, still an uncut gem
Sippin' ayahuasca, magic on his lips
Tryna make sense of some tragic events
My shoes are laced up to dance with death
'Cause every day is a trip, where will you land next?
The fires and the virus is too much stress
But the fire in my eyes is a whole new threat
I put a diamond in the sky every time I spit (Diamonds in the sky)
Just to shine a little light for those in the grip
Lost in the mix, feel like you did your best, keep swingin’
Dyin' just to make our livin'
I've been locked out and locked down in my own prison
Only key to tomorrow is a vibrant vision
Know we better start somethin' before we finished
[Chorus: The Tongue, Inês]
Joy to the world (Joy to the world)
The newborn king (The newborn king)
Give your joy to the world (Joy to the world)
An angel sings (Ah)
Joy to the world (Joy to the world)
Newborn king (Newborn king)
Give your joy to the world
Uh
[Verse 2: The Tongue, The Tongue and Inês]
Hate is temporary, love is necessary
Livin' legendary, drivin' past the cemetery
I'm a missionary and a mercenary
This a holy war, gotta join the military
Keep my spirits high and my verses heavy
Way I ride the flow, baby, they should call me Huckleberry
Man with no hands could count all the rappers fuckin’ with me
But without love, like everything is nothin’ to me
That's why I’m diggin' deep into my city streets
You're gonna see me out lookin' for inner peace
They’re gonna see me fall, but that ain't called defeat
I'm gonna have to bleed, I do it every week
You better find a voice when it be your time to speak
I hope you find your peace, make sure it never leaves
A lost freedom we can finally taste
Got these tears of joy fallin' off of my face
[Chorus: The Tongue, Inês]
Sayin' joy to the world (Joy to the world)
Newborn king (Newborn king)
Give your joy to the world (Joy to the world)
An angel sings (Ah)
Joy to the world (Joy to the world)
Newborn queen (Newborn queen)
Give your joy to the world
And listen, the angel sings (Ah)
[Verse 3: Inês]
We are here
We survived
Come out of the dark
And give us a sign
For those who have passed
And those yet to come
We livin' the life for them
The universal one
[Outro: Inês]
Joy to the world
Newborn king
Joy to the world
An angel sing
