Gods Work Pt 2 - Demun Jones Lyrics

"Gods Work, Pt. 2" lyrics Demun Jones Lyrics "Gods Work, Pt. 2"

I ain't much on history, I can't go back and change a thing
My great great granddaddy was a rebel, some think I should be ashamed
But he was seventeen when he volunteered and fought right down 'til the end
If he ain't survived the whole damn thing, I never woulda met my friends
I never woulda met my lady, I never woulda had my girls
I never woulda seen Jones County, I never coulda rocked this world
So I'll be screamin' every tension I'd a hate, you can point your fingers at me
But I'll keep doin' God's work in this world, just watch me if you don't believe
Regardless of the history, just watch me if you don't believe

If I turned the TV off I wouldn't know anyone was mad
I was taught to love at home, I learned from mama and dad
Can't imagine my classmates ever seein' me as evil
It's like the media's mission is to profit, seek and deceive you
If you control the lies then you control the minds
Then we get lost in our thoughts called the confines
Then we divide ourselves down lines dependin' on race
Anytime we talk about it it's like defendin' a case
But let the evidence show I never committed this crime
For those that did may God forgive I pray you learn in due time
The Lord don't see color, Jesus ain't from Alabama
He was a black lady that took the all-star game from Atlanta

I ain't much on history, I can't unsee the things I saw
But them boys was my brothers when we were little just playin' ball
I never thought twice about where they was from or what the color was of their skin
I just wanted to hear when I got up to bat so our team could win
And our team could win, our team could win

You know growin' up as a little kid in Jones County all my heroes besides my dad and Dale Murphy were black men. Hank Aaron, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson just to name a few. Nobody every told me or taught me there was anything wrong with it. Because there wasn't.
