Joyful Rebellion Lyrics by Shane Kidd

Good Mourning

2021

[Verse 1: Shane Kidd]
Black joy, such a beautiful thing
Uh huh, still here ain't afraid of the fight
Tryna dance through the morning as we wait for the light
Keep our pace and our peace against the hate in the street
Wishing Babylon was gone as were facin' the beasts
Not saying I fear less but I think fear is lesser
Chose faith and courage to persevere through pressure
'Cause the wise elders taught me strive for my freedom
And the Black saints keep my eyes on thе Kingdom
One day we won't cry no more, diе no more
And the street bullets won't fly no more
Until then, I stay hopeful though it's hard to believe
I strive to press forward disregard the fatigue
'Cause I, need a joy that gives me strength like Olympians
The time is 4:13, I mean Philippians
We fight on despite this world being hostile
Shoutin' "Black Pride!" and unashamed of the gospel
[Chorus]
Can't break me down, can't steal my soul, can't take my joy, my faith is gold
Can't shut me down, I never fold, can't steal my joy, my faith is gold
[Verse 2: J. Crum]
When it's said and done, there ain't no plaques up on my wall
My satisfaction's in the fact that my God was so involved
That my impact might not be stashed but being asked to call
And if this dream I had distracts me you could have it all
My heart is bleeding you hear it beating on every song
No I ain't leaving no my allegiance is never lost
I'm not a leader acknowledge weakness in every wrong
I'm not retreating the Lord He leads me from all along
But y'all ain't getting me the Lord changed my identity
Forgiving me of who I was and showed me who I'm meant to be
And now I've been at ease I'm finding benefits on bitterness
Submitting every dream to Him, accepting all He's bringing me
No separation no I can't offer alternatives
Asking for my burdens laid at His feet when I turn to Him
And when I feel discouraged then we turn into His Word again
Got fire in my bones, can't contain the words I hear within (Ooh!)
[Chorus]
Can't break me down, can't steal my soul, can't take my joy, my faith is gold
Can't shut me down, I never fold, can't steal my joy, my faith is gold
Can't break me down, can't steal my soul, can't take my joy, my faith is gold
Can't shut me down, I never fold, can't steal my joy, my faith is gold
[Outro: Shane Kidd]
Black joy, such a beautiful thing
We stayin' strong, we ain't losing the game, keep doing ya thing
Black joy, such a beautiful thing
We keep the faith, we ain't losing the game, keep doing ya thing
Black joy, such a beautiful thing
We stayin' strong, we ain't losing the game, keep doing ya thing
Black joy, such a beautiful thing
We keep the faith, we ain't losing the game, keep doing ya thing
