Far from Joy

🎵 Title: "Far From Joy" Artist: Sly Ba$$ --- [Intro – Spoken softly] Sly Ba$$ in the cut... Sometime, all you have to do is... Ignore the noise And focus on being a better you We never stop working over here... Yeah... --- [Verse 1] What the enemies want is for me to fold But I dey stand firm, heart made of gold Hustle dey daily, rain or sun My love, my b***d? Most of them don run Fake smile on my face but I dey bleed inside Eyes dry but the soul dey cry Laugh plenty, so I no go vex 'Cause anger deep and my pain complex --- [Pre-Chorus] No sleep at night, just thoughts I can't say Dem dey weigh on me like night on day But still I move, I no fit stop ‘Cause giving up no dey my b***d --- [Chorus] Keep going, never slow I believe in God even if I no see am show Don’t hate on body, you no know the load Some smile dey hide the pain they hold Far from joy, but I still dey grow Far from peace, but I no let go Sly Ba$$... I'm made for more Even with my scars, I still want more --- [Verse 2] I dey scared of my rage, that’s why I laugh Try to stay humble, make I no c***h See street na jungle, but I get my map I no need crowd, I no need clap Dem no know how far we don crawl Night prayers, floor cold like wall We dey f***t demons, you dey judge cloth You no know wetin pain my voice hold --- [Pre-Chorus] Mind full of noise, still I find my tone Alone in crowd, but I move like stone Yeah, I trust the path, even blindfold 'Cause my God dey guide me through the cold --- [Chorus] Keep going, never slow I believe in God even if I no see am show Don’t hate on body, you no know the load Some smile dey hide the pain they hold Far from joy, but I still dey grow Far from peace, but I no let go Sly Ba$$... I'm made for more Even with my scars, I still want more --- [Outro – Spoken softly, with faint melody] Lord, I don't see You... But I believe in You And that’s why I move, Even when I feel far from joy... Sly Ba$$...
