HUMBLE
Dawit Cherent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was this rich man in the whole wide world
He built a Kingdom by his own wealth
He became so powerful pride made him see no one
Expand his reach far and beyond

His empire was so large nobody dare to invade
He took everything and put it under his name
This man felt so strong he wanted to be worshipped
He made em all kneal for his gold image

[Just be humble] no one made it far with out God
No one make just because his hands
[Be humble] when you think you made it on your own
Remember some day you may lose it all

You may lose it all [Just be humble]
Oh lose it all some day [Be humble]

A man standing on the roof of the palace
Looking down every thing he has
Said is this not the great world built by ma own hand,
So now who is gonna stand who is gonna stand

A voice come down took everything he has
His royalty and authority
now you will be left alone gone in a wild
No man reach him he will eat the grass
Look up in a sky there is one above




He made it all as he please
Nothing latest just be humble
