Don't know where to start I guess I'll tell my story No drugs or violence I guess it's kind of boring But then again it's worth exploring 'Cause I bet you can relate to what it means To search for calling I mean you tried this You tries that Followed every line Like you're trying to build a mindmap But then the letter's returned to sender Feel like playing Elvis records So someone can "love you tender" But in your mind You know there's some design And if only you could reach it Somehow it would be fine, but Breathe in, breathe out Stress of life got you trying to pull a weave out But still you're devout Living out your faith as you walk under these clouds Love, you're not alone This is We now That's the sound of joy You hear the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" That's the sound of joy You're listening to the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" Vulnerable to the point you see through me The contents of my heart And what moves me Those inner scars that I try to cover up Didn't know there was an inner me uncover, yup I am what I am But it's shaped by others Take on each other's features Like we're long-term lovers But it's not you It's what you represent A heaven-sent gift of when pad hits the pen So even though we never trod the same streets I praise God that I could ride the same beats I'm blessed You gave me a language to get my heart out my chest That's why I learn to do my gramar Spend my time and invest So if its up to me I'll keep speaking 'Til the day my joints wither and my flesh weakens Hip hop, it's hard to think how But what I do know is you're part of me now That's the sound of joy You hear the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" That's the sound of joy You're listening to the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" All I hear is mad rappers Delivering lines like they're bad actors Playing characters they're mothers wouldn't recognise A whole host of guys But in the mirror I wonder what they see That there's more to self Than power, lust and wealth Or that a gangster is all they'll ever be? Feel like the human side of hip hop Is finally pressing in Behind the music and thrones we hide in What began as a childhood admiration As a man shifts focus in your maturation Still feeling the same love Past infatuation I'm seeing the scars Seeing the stretch marks Seeing how you act when you're drunk and in bars Can I learn to love without conditions? Not overlooking faults But caring with all wisdom? Love, you can speak I'll listen That's the sound of joy You hear the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" That's the sound of joy You're listening to the sound of joy "Joy, I got the joy" "Joy, I got the joy" Looking for truth in a land of punchlines Listening to beats while standing in lunchlines Thinking up rhymes communicating thoughts Most of the time all of the work comes to nought But for some reason it's valuable in itself Like a reassuring touch A gift to my inner self And yet it's far more Open the car door Exit to a world that questions what it's all for Feeling like square peg in a round world But happy cause I bought the field and I found pearls Twirl the pen and let it simmer just a little bit The page is looking at me like I just offended it As if to say, "You need to write The gift's not yours Work 'til your faith is sight" And so I must press on And I don't even know if you'll feel this song But hey
