I never could've made it without the prayers of others
I never could've made it without the care of my mother
Never could've made it without my grandma Dorothy Flowers
Who read me from the Book of Psalms before she tucked me in the covers
She looked me in my eyes and she cried as she made the point
Trials, they purify, but they take you to your breaking point
The swift is the swift, but this race is a long one
Just keep your eyes on the sparrow, you'll be good in the long run
Now I'm rolling out the carpet for the Christ on the throne coming
This ain't Watch The Throne, this is more like Watch The Homecoming
No diss to Yeezy, but I promised to my momma
I'm going Dalai with the Lama if I ever make it on the TV
I emerged from the darkness, like Jesus out of the tomb
My skin clothed in sin, like Jesus out of the womb
It took years, months, and days for this wildflower to bloom
My cocoon was a mix of light and dark, like either side of the Moon
Forty days and forty nights like Mūsā and Hārūn
Hmm mm mm, mm mm, mm
They tried to write me off like the little planet Pluton
But it only take 8 minutes and 21 seconds for sunlight to consume
Now I'm basking in the light of all of those who came before me
And Alhamdulillah means To God be the glory
The Lord is my shepherd, my rock, and my salvation
It's just me, my Universal Flag, and my Asiatic Nation
Bars, nigga, bars, nigga, bars, nigga, bars
There ain't no other click could spit their spittle next to ours
In the stone, I found the answer: Earth, wind, and fire
For this project, I dropped Electronica, we merged both the Jays
And put a C after the Y, so that the Z stand for Czars
Ground control to Major Tom, this is a message from-mm-m Mars
Open your mouth wide
A universal sigh
And while the ocean blooms
It's what keeps me alive
So why does this still hurt?
Don't blow your mind with whys
Ah, oh, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ahh oh, oh ah, ah, ah, ah a-ah, ah, ah, ah a-ah
A-ah-ah
In the name of God, Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We thank Him, for his
