Lyrics
For his goodness and for his wonderful works
Expressing gratitude for God's goodness and wonderful deeds towards humanity
Unto the children of men
God's kindness extended to human beings
If my people will lift my name tonight
If people praise or honor the speaker's name
I will come in
The speaker promises to enter or be present
I will be exalted
The speaker will be raised high in honor
I will be glorified
The speaker will receive great glory
I will be lifted up
The speaker will be exalted or honored
Welcome him in tonight
An invitation to welcome someone (possibly God) in
Can't you feel him?
Asking if someone can sense or perceive the presence of a divine being
Yes, yes
Affirmation in agreement with feeling the divine presence
There is liberty
Freedom or release from constraints
Open your heart tonight
An encouragement to open one's heart
Welcome him in, put them hands together
Encouraging applause or praise as a form of fellowship
Fellowship
Fellowship, unity, or companionship
Joy and peace
A state of happiness and harmony
All praise to the all-eye seeing, supreme-being
Praising the all-seeing and supreme divine entity
Giver of joy and peace, love supreme freedom
Recognizing God as the provider of joy, peace, and ultimate love and freedom
Some see him in the son, see him in the daughters
Perceiving God in various forms - children, nature, divine order
The mountains, the waters, all divine order
Recognizing divine presence in nature - mountains, waters, and the order of creation
The king unseen, one dream that I had
Reflecting on a dream about an unseen king and a conversation with the speaker's father
I was talking to my dad
A conversation in a dream where the situation might not be as dire as perceived
He said, "Things ain't as bad as they seem"
Questioning if the dream is akin to a divine vision or inspiration
Is this a God dream the way Ye sing it?
Speculation on the nature of a dream and its continuation throughout the day
The dream seem to go on as the day lingered
Reflecting on the enduring nature of a dream
The meaning of life, you can't frame or name it
Life's meaning cannot be confined or labeled
True stars remain like the name of David
True luminaries endure, akin to the legacy of David
Niggas get foreign cars and think they made it
People acquire material possessions but need to create their worth
It ain't yours 'til you create it
Possession becomes meaningful through personal creation
In the image of the beneficent, merciful, universal, versatile
Referencing attributes of God and creation in the speaker's verses
My verses go 'til heaven and earth become reversible
Expressing the extent of the speaker's verses encompassing heaven and earth
Christ particle, so anything is possible
Reference to a particle related to Christ, signifying infinite possibilities
Fuck big brother, father, mother, God is watching you
A dismissive attitude towards societal authorities; emphasizing God's omnipresence
And I want the joy
Desire for joy
And I want to know the peace of mind
Yearning for peace of mind
I make a way, a way to see
Creating a path to perceive or understand despite difficulties
Through it all and ohh
Acknowledging persistence through challenges
Living for joy and peace
Striving to live a life characterized by joy and peace
Still in all in the night when it hurts
Alluding to persevering through pain or difficult times
And your bed feels like snow
Metaphorically describing discomfort or emotional pain
There's a joy in the rain
Finding joy amidst adversity
In your heart, there's a way
Finding a way to maintain positivity in one's heart
Turn your light on
An encouragement to illuminate or reveal something important
