Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
Kumbaya, kumbaya
I tell my secrets to a bottle
I trust it over a couple of people that I know
I tipped it over I really got suicidal
I felt way too guilty so I read the bible
Not for forgiveness I did that shit for survival
Born in the system but bitch I broke out the cycle
I took off from the ditches but still got homies inside
Evil runs loose every day and night
Love only visits on your birthday night
Can't judge a torn soul till you felt it's pain
Now heal me with all these chains
Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
Kumbaya, kumbaya
Pay me in karats yeah, yeah
Get me to Paris so I can fuck up a marriage yeah, yeah
Fuck up a wedding, fuck in the back of the carriage yeah, yeah
Pay me in karats I need my halo to glisten yeah, yeah
Pay me in love and peace and I'll pay you attention yeah (Yeah)
Pray for my ties children I pay their tuition so
If you pay me with hate and envy they'll pay you a visit (Yeah)
These words kill my sisters with anxiety
But these things heal my spirit with entirety (Yeah)
I'm living untidy serenity walked out on me
For that reason I need Jesus and his pieces to shine on me (Yeah)
Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
