Here |
Drums make the folks go dumb |
And make the folks go dumb |
Horns make the people turn up |
Yeah it make the people turn up |
Turn up, turn up |
We make the people turn up |
Church keys make the church folks sing |
Church folks sing, church folks sing |
Love over hate, love over hate |
I’m here for that |
Real over fake, real over fake |
I’m here for that |
Truth and faith, truth and faith |
I’m here for that |
Beauty and grace, beauty and grace |
I’m here for that |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, |
amen) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, |
amen) |
Don’t be afraid this is the future |
I know you ain’t met, I’ll introduce ya |
They might be cool but we are cooler |
We got class so let us school ya |
Fresh to death, like a million bucks |
I might just go a year in bow ties and chucks |
I might just go to church in an all white tux |
Yeah ya boy fly so you know what’s up |
Can the church say amen? |
I’m here for that |
When the system don’t love us, justice for the brothers |
Yeah, yeah I’m here for that |
You can tell all the haters with no hesitation I’ll take the reparation |
I’m here for that |
And tell all the rappers with the pimpin' pimpin' murder sell drugs in their |
music I ain’t feelin' that |
Woo, I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it) |
I do it for the nerds and the thugs, those overcoming drugs |
I’m here for that |
Give the children a little purpose |
Tell the politicians they serve us |
Make them nervous, I know they heard us |
Tell 'em we came here for the turn up |
Love over hate, love over hate |
I’m here for that |
Real over fake, real over fake |
I’m here for that |
Truth and faith, truth and faith |
I’m here for that |
Beauty and grace, beauty and grace |
I’m here for that |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, |
amen) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (amen, |
amen) |
Yeah |
What up Sho? |
Just like old times, right? |
Look, I’m here for the young’uns with they pants saggin' |
And homies is flaggin, some say 'What up cuz?' |
or 'What's bracking?" |
Nothin' lacking on the corner, bread stacking |
Pray to God that nobody have to toe tag 'em |
He ain’t be trapping in a minute |
Use the re-up money for the tithes and the rent |
Told his baby momma that he love her any minute |
Pastor dipped him in that water after he repented |
Granny told him he don’t need a souvenir in church |
Straight up out the street, think he made the deacons nervous |
We just tryna learn a word and keep from getting murdered |
We be on that Kirk and Kendrick Sunday after service |
You can call it worship, Tamir Rice done got us nervous |
Innocent and killed like Christ is how they hurt us |
But I’m here for that |
Probably ain’t gonna get a lot of cheers for that |
I just do it for the love, I do it for the love (I do it) |
I do it for the broke and the poor, those all feel ignored |
I’m here for that |
Tell 'em we woke and we alert now |
I promise there’s healing for your hurt now |
Yeah, tell 'em we came to put in work now |
Yeah, can I get a amen from the church now? |
Love over hate, love over hate |
I’m here for that |
Real over fake, real over fake |
I’m here for that |
Truth and faith, truth and faith |
I’m here for that |
Beauty and grace, beauty and grace |
I’m here for that |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love (can the |
church say amen?) |
If you’re here for the love, if you’re here for the love, for the love |
For my sisters who be fighting for that justice, uh, I’m here for that |
Real fathers, loving on they wives and kids, I’m here for that |
My wife is classy but a little ratchet, yeah I’m here for that |
West coast feeling but I still live in the A homeboy, I’m here for that |
When I walk on the courthouse judge feel the case out, definitely here for that |
Y’know when that unexpected check comes in the mail, cuz, I’m here for that |
Always here for that |
Uh, always I’m here for that |
Gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it, gotta love it |
It means to be broadened, y’know, beyond the understanding that black women are |
strong |
Body and souls and so we’re not only strong, we are, we are helpers, |
we are lovers, we are fighters, y’know, we, we love strong |
But we are also human, y’know that mean’s we are vulnerable |
Y’know we are, we hurt, y’know we ache, like everybody else |
We need somebody, to, to be strong for us when we are taking the bumps, |
the bruises we’re here on the frontlines, fighting so many battles that many |
people are not privy to and so I think that |
So y’know we are sisters, we are aunts, y’know we are deaconesses, |
we are leaders in our churches, y’know, we are speakers, we are writers, |
y’know we are corporate, y’know, CEO board executives |
We are advocates, we need our brothers to stand up and defend black womanhood |
Don’t silence us, y’know, be happy that we are here to enable you, |
to empower you |
But we also need that empowerment to go both ways |
