road to zion - jonny farias lyrics
[part i: produced by young $wisher]
[intro]
our father in heaven, hallowed be your name
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
give us today our daily bread
and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one
[chorus]
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
is you on the slow decline?
for me, it’s like all the time
this is the road to zion
this is the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
is you on the slow decline?
for me, it’s like all the time
this is the road to zion
this is the road to zion
[verse 1]
we on the road to zion
feelings of suffering multiplying, ayy
angels, devils politickin’
middle fingers to the 45, uh
home of mine, it got a generational divide
can’t stand, can’t stand it
but tell me you chose a side (everyone’s divided, pick a side, aight)
been known to stoke the fire
strong and mighty is the pen
by the sword you live, by the sword you die
toe the line between right and wrong
writing songs, your sins you can’t always hide
life’s a rollercoaster ride
just wanna be in control of mine
staying woke on forty winks
lord forbid that i close my eyes
…….
[chorus]
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
is you on the slow decline?
for me, it’s like all the time
this is the road to zion
this is the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
we on the road to zion
is you on the slow decline?
for me, it’s like all the time
this is the road to zion
this is the road to zion
[verse 2]
this a different world, no sinbad
in a different world, i wouldn’t sin badly
nah, i digress

[intro: jonny farias]
some days i wonder if i’m loved by y’all
some days i wonder if that even matters at all
should be talking to god
i should give him a call, yeah
[verse: jonny farias]
it’s been love from the outset
i’m plugged in, use the music as an outlet
eyes weak, struggling to read between the hard lines
it’s been a hard time
we on the road to zion, or am i taking steps in the wrong direction?
projecting self hate on my brethren
decaying mental state gon’ have me leaving a bad lasting impression
reckless errors in my ways can change relationships and friendships
i don’t want this to end on a bad note, will it pay off?
don’t pity poor me, although this change strong
reminiscing and writing rhymes left me with this grave thought
if ignorance is bliss, then what is knowledge?
at least to me, but that don’t mean you shouldn’t seek it
but be mindful of the fact that that’s what k!lled our leaders
still, i’ll fight for my beliefs until i can barely breathe
hear the poet yawp before he’s shot up in the streets
all i want is to be heard, all i want is to be seen
but with that comes dealing with the drama and the beef
that’s petty, life’s shorter than the dollars from these streams
but the goals i’m tryna reach i find them harder to achieve
anger at myself been the fodder for the demons
tryna follow all my dreams but right now it’s nightmares
they surround me, i’m scared; writing, walking helps me think
sad story, praying for a god from the machine
i used to see the forest for the trees
but now paradise is on fire
the thick smog makes it hard to see sometimes
but i hope the road i rove leads to zion
yeah
[outro: will arnett (as bojack horseman) and alison brie (as diane nguyen)]
for what it’s worth, i think your writing does make a difference
thanks
