South Carolina [Donda Original]

Please welcome Dr donda West forever, ever
Can you hear me? yeah forever, ever
Forever, forever, no
Glorious, glory, glory, glory
Glory, glory, glory, glory

It feels good to be home and to all of you
I thank you so much for your support
For your support of me for so many years
And more importantly
For the work you continue to do
What do you want me to talk about?
Well, he said something that was
A little bit dangerous
He told me I could talk
About anything I wanted to
And you know, I am my son's mother
The man I described in the introduction
Is being so decidedly different my son
(When you're runnin' outta time and
You're not outta time)
And what made the project extra
Special to me is
I got a chance to share not only
What he has meant to me
But what he has meant to a generation
(Change the time)
As one writer said, we came from somewhere
Not just from the wombs of our mothers
And the seeds of our fathers
But from a long line of
Generations who came before us

Is the kingdom (Is the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever? (Forever)
Is the kingdom (Is the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever? (Forever)

Forever, yeah forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no, oh, yeah
Glorious, glory, glory, glory
What did I teach him? (Glory)
And why Kanye ain't scared?

I'd rather deal with the shame than
Take the weight of the lie
Every time we talk I just wait for the lies
Every time I get the food
I just wait for the flies
Look, just send your prayers up
They'll be waitin' in the skies
My, my, my, Miss American Pie
Was a hero after Katrina but
That levee went dry
Mom met my dad back in '75
Two years later, the chosen has arrived
Holy, Holy, Holy Father
Hold me in an ocean worth of Holy Water
And David's slingshot
Hope it throws you farther
You brought church to stadiums
Built for only soccer
When the world built on lies
The truth is a threat
Faith over the fortune
It kept you outta debt
It's snakes in money pit's that
You ain't found yet
Crooks behind the scene like
"He ain't drown yet?"
Rain bills from the ranch 'til
The whole town wet god's grace rains down
That's the holy fountain
Got twelve thousand acres full
Of holy mountains
See, you almost didn't make it
Who are you without Him?
Holy, Holy, Holy Father
Hold me in a ocean the size of Holy Water
Man, if plan A worked
You wouldn't know your daughter
For every tear you cried in South Carolina

Is the kingdom (Is the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever? (Forever)
Is the kingdom (Is the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever? (Forever)
