Blessed Are

Yo, echoes of the prophets, let me bring it back Poor in spirit rise up, never fade to black Heaven for the humble, not the gold and stacks We ain't talkin' 'bout the flex, it's the soul they lack Mourners in the crowd, yeah, tears in they eyes But comfort gonna rain like a storm from the skies They tried to break us down, still we multiply Steady walkin' through the valley with our heads held high Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who mourn Blessed are the meek For they shall inherit the earth Meek ones rise, yeah, they laugh, but we stand Not by power, nor by might, but by the Great Hand Hunger and thirst for that justice and truth Satisfied when the system ain't corruptin' the youth Mercy for the merciful, yeah, let it flow In a world full of grudges, let forgiveness grow Pure hearts see God, not the chains or the gold In a kingdom that's eternal, where the truth is told Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who mourn Blessed are the meek For they shall inherit the earth Meek ones rise, yeah, they laugh, but we stand Not by power, nor by might, but by the Great Hand Hunger and thirst for that justice and truth Satisfied when the system ain't corruptin' the youth Mercy for the merciful, yeah, let it flow In a world full of grudges, let forgiveness grow Pure hearts see God, not the chains or the gold In a kingdom that's eternal, where the truth is told Blessed are the poor in spirit Blessed are the ones who mourn Blessed are the meek For they shall inherit the earth They called us out, persecuted for the cause But I rejoice, knowing heaven opens doors They did it to the prophets, they gon' do it again But my reward ain't in this world, it's beyond all men Peacemakers rise, never fall for the hate Sons and daughters of the Most High holdin' the weight Reviled for the truth Let 'em talk, let 'em hate We still stand tall, let the whole earth shake Runnin' through the fire but we never burn Tables 'bout to turn, watch the blessings return Beatitudes, every word still alive From the Sermon on the Mount to the streets where we stride Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven
