T.I. - Hallelujah lyrics

[Intro] Jesus loves me This I know For the Bible tells me so [Verse 1: T.I.] Sometimes I wake up feel like I'm in Forest City, Arkansas Although I'm free I'm still a prisoner of all I saw Sometimes I leave this booth at 4 am, and ride down Simpson Just prayin homie, and reminiscin Sometimes my nightmare seems so real, feel like I'm still in prison I reach out for Tameeka hand, I'm trippin cuz she missin' It's pitch black dark, like I'm in solitary So if my freedom was a dream, Lord please prepare me It seems like satan want my soul and he refuse to share me My former friends talk about me like I'm dead and buried ba*tards want me in the casket for my head cold Trouble in my soul, the devil got a hold Did everything to me but k** me, like he did to Job He took my diamonds, took my rhymes, took my fame and gold He took my business interest, he took my wife and kids But he can't take nothing God can't give me back again [Hook] Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah [Verse 2: T.I.] I went to jail, stood tall, then I fell again It seems like I'm Jonah and right back in that whale again I felt the panic when they locked me in that cell again I had to pray and meditate, control my breath again Like Lazarus I've risen from a bed of d**h again The Lord is with me, I could stand against a thousand men I read the songs of David, prayed to be like Solomon God's wisdom walkin all amongst these hollow men I'm a king, I dare to lead when they just follow men I see a better way, I'm keeping my eyes on the sparrow I'm exiting my Egypt, tell em wave goodbye to pharaoh Mother told me before she left this earth that I was special And because I'm special, they gon make me suffer Like they crucified Jesus right in front his mother s**as, but he arose on the 3rd day To save, you're here to give favor, let the church say [Hook] Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah [Outro] Jesus loves me This I know For the Bible tells me so Yes, He loves me This I know For the Bible tells me so
