Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me
I sing for peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
Kumbaya, kumbaya

I tell my secrets to a bottle
I trust it over a couple people that I know
I tipped over I really got suicidal
I felt way too guilty so I read the bible
Not for forgiveness I did that shit for survival
Born in the system but bitch I broke out the cycle
I took off from the ditches but still got homies inside
Evil runs loose every day and night
Love only visits on your birthday night
Can’t judge a torn soul till you felt it’s pain
Now heal me with all these chains

Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me
I sing for peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
Kumbaya, kumbaya

Pay me in karats, get me to Paris so I can fuck up a marriage
Fuck up a wedding fuck in the back of the carriage
Pay me in karats I need my halo to glisten
Pay me in love and peace and I’ll pay you attention
Pray for my ties children I pay their tuition so
If you pay me with hate and envy they’ll pay you a visit
These words kill my sisters with anxiety
But these things heal my spirit with entirety
I’m living untidy serenity walked out on me
For that reason I need Jesus and his pieces to shine on me

Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me
I sing for peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
Kumbaya, kumbaya
