Selah (JESUS IS KING Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
God is King, we the soldiers
Ultrabeam out the solar
All these people dumb dumb
And they claim they for the culture
Tryna keep my composure
When I scream at the chauffeur
I ain't mean, I'm just focused
I ain't mean, I'm just focused
Pour the lean out slower
Got us clean out of soda
Before the flood, people judge
They did the same thing to Noah
Everybody wanted Yandhi
Then Jesus Christ did the laundry
They say the week start on Monday
But thе strong start on Sunday
Copped the whole gamе for four hundred years
The prophecy 2019
Them people is woke, those people is woke
Them people ain't woke like me
Hop off the boat like me
Y'all don't want smoke like me
Y'all supposed to be mad at them
Y'all ain't supposed to fight me
[Chorus: Sunday Service Choir]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, He is wonderful

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Ant Clemons]
If you woke, then wake up
Sob, sob then we make up
Stop killin' and make-up
That's the **** that shake-up
Bars sound like a ****
God's somethin' they can't front
Stab your back, they can't front
Drop us off where we want
Ain't no wantin', know we need it, huh
We must have, we ain't greedy, huh
Stomp, stomp, they been needy, huh
Told the money, "They ain't see me, huh"
We ain't the product, we are the juice
We going wild, we staying loose
Home for the Zeus, we got the proof (Yeezy, Yeezy)
(Yeezy, Yeezy)
****, what they do
We in the streets (Yeezy), we goin' through (Yeezy)
We like the we (Yeezy), y'all **** you (Yeezy)
Hold up for you (Yeezy), you, you, you, you (Yeezy)
[Outro: Kanye West & Ant Clemons]
Wah, woo, wah, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Wah, woo, wah, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Wah, woo, wah, woo, woo, woo, woo
