Joy
Lamar Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its your decision.
Do you believe in life? Do you believe in magic?
I know it's hard to sleep at night, living with regrets.
Keep racing around in your mind.
Does it make your worth even less or less of a woman? No oh.
Courage only comes with time.
Joy. Joy. Don't lose your hope.
Joy. Joy oh joy. Eh.
Justice is power why belittle the less fortunate.
Equality means fight but we said "Let's
Make a change," and it starts but within
No color in my eyes, no stereotype,
Or how you feel.nor black or white
We all remain human.
Have a heart and you will find
That we all need each other.
We all need so much love and joy.
Joy. Don't lose your hope. Joy.
Joy. Just let it grow with joy. Joy.
Don't lose your faith. Joy. Joy. Joy.
Joy. Joy. Don't lose your joy.
I need joy. Yeah joy. Joy
All we are is joy. So much joy.
Lord, I know you need some joy. Oh yeah yeah. Oh yeah joy
