lyrics

Joy ©2022 Dominique Jones

Verse 1:
Don’t let me get no brown liquor in me, feel me, ‘fore I go out
I’ll spit it with no filter, go figure, the girl will show out
All bars must go, you can call this a blow out
Look at doubters thinking that I wasn’t vicious, bet they know now
I lovingly lay down the lyrics that’s so live
You was looking for a battle but you discovered a prize
You uncovered a light midnight can’t tame
I can do it for the people, even if I get the fame

Pre-Chorus:
Freedom may cost, but happiness is free
Mama told me I’m a child of the king
When I feel lost, I know where I can lean

Chorus:
This joy I got
(the world didn’t give it)
This peace I got
(the world didn’t give it)
All this power
(the world give it, the world can’t take it away)

Verse 2:
They be like change who you are if you wanna be a star
Bend to the trends if you really wanna win
Many ways out but only one way in
Now they got their hands out saying my someday’s here
My someday is everyday I wake up with another breath
Asking me to give up my beliefs then I’ll have nothing left
‘What profit a girl to gain the world if you take her soul
I don’t need a record breaking record deal to make me whole
I just need a microphone, a guitar riff
I’ll spit bars with the best of them I been awesome
You been all in my dms tryna sell your ploy
But get back boy, my followers can feel my joy

Pre-Chorus:
Freedom may cost, but happiness is free
Mama told me I’m a child of the king
When I feel lost, I know where I can lean

Chorus:
This joy I got
(the world didn’t give it)
This peace I got
(the world didn’t give it)
All this power
(the world give it, the world can’t take it away)
