Kirk Franklin - Strong God Lyrics

V1

Mayday, mayday (Yeah)

The Earth is shaking (Yeah)

Who gon' save the babies (Yeah)

From another Bloody Sunday?

I'm singing mayday, mayday (Yeah)

They love me or they hate me (Yeah)

For my skin color (Yeah)

But you say I am your brother, yeah

Pre chorus

The government keep lying to me

Telling me that they come to set the people free

Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees

Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency

See we need a strong god, yeah

We need the real god, yeah

The god with the resurrection power from the grave

To take away the hate, to heal the human race, yeah

Chorus

We need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a

We need a strong god

See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a

Yuh, yuh, yuh

V2

Say mayday, mayday

They say the climate changin'

The poor people in the cold

But you keep preachin' to they soul

But we don't leave 'til everybody's free

And we won't sleep 'til everybody eats (Yeah, yeah)

Until lives matter (Yeah)

More than ties matter

Pre Chorus

The government keep lying to me

Telling me that they come to set the people free

Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees

Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency

See we need a strong god, real strong, yeah

We need the real god, yeah, yeah

The god with the resurrection power from the grave

To take away the hate, to heal the human race

Chorus

See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a

We need a strong god

See we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a, we need a

(Let's go)

Yuh, yuh, yuh

Bridge

We want justice, we want change (Want change)

You want peace and no more pain (More pain, yeah)

To be equal, to be free (Yes)

Martin's dream is what I need, yeah

We want justice, we want change (Yuh)

You want peace and no more pain (No more pain)

To be equal, to be free (We wanna be free)

Martin's dream is what I need (Yeah)

Just don't preach the gospel

Be the gospel

V3

My country 'tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty

When will we finally see

We need a strong god? Yeah

Pre Chorus

The government keep lying to me

Telling me that they come to set the people free

Cut the power phones when you catch us on our knees (On our knees)

Heaven please, we're in a state of emergency

See we need a strong god, yeah

We need the real god

The god with the resurrection power from the grave (Yes)

To take away the hate (Yes), to heal the human race (Come on)
