Darius Dior - Joy Lyrics

I apologize
For not texting you back
I been busy hell
I haven't slept in
Like a month
I been resting in spells
But I been finding
Time for mommy and
Texting Michelle
Cousin Gwennie
Told me Kwame home
It's a blessing he's well
I hate to be the kind of friend
You can't depend on
In covenant
With
My wife and I would
Like if it extends on
Until I'm 70 tryna put
My depends on
Striving to go to church
In the summer time
With my tims on
We got the joy that make us whole
Like the days of old
Salute to Essie Mae
I remember the time
I seen her soul
And all the pain that
She endured
I couldn't afford
I still ain't get the tat on
My back for daddy
I'm really torn
I got a nephew in Miami
That's finishing school
I be Jamming his ear
So he prepared for what's
Really the move

For the greater good
I'm a pray for the hood
And every bit of pain
Any death is bringing in vein
Rest in peace to cousin
P.C and mother Patricia
If I don't do nothing else
I'm a finish painting her
Picture y'all gotta
Stay in the scripture
Joy is like a pot a gold
That'll fill up a whole in
A body without a soul
I'm probably out control
With my delayed responses
And I ain't been really showing
Up enough I'm very conscious
Of it
But I love it
I got my time on a budget
My cousin Tasha just had
Set a twins I know they covered
I'm still inspired to do what exactly
Heaven requires

And I ain't sacrificing my faith
For the sake of science
I'm in anther alliance with a whole
Other 9-5 just so I survive
When it's really time to retire

My defiance has really been
Kind of keeping me quiet

I should be fasting instead
Of trying to diet

I probably buying some tires
And essentially another
Wheel just so I can feel
Like a man you consider pious

But

I've acquired a very specific taste
In the way I live my life
And it's probably what you
Don't like but
Here's a bit of advice
Celebrate the love Yah
Not cause He provide it
But cause it's what you decided
Got it?
What I've allotted is
A joy
You can
Never destroy
I was unemployed

It was dark but it wasn't
A void

You got the power
The life you lead is a choice

So try to make a habit of Recognizing
His voice
Love and light
