Kingdom - Joel Adams

I was sitting at the corner

Staring at a dollar

When a guy asked me a question

«D'you wish to never to be alone,

Never to be broke,

Always to be right?»

So I stood on my feet for just a second

I took a good look at him

And then I said, «Ya know, man»

I said, «I'm still gonna be alone

Still gonna be broke

But I know that I’ll be alright»

'Cause I remember when my dad said «Son,

This life isn’t owed to you

A million things could go wrong for you

But at least you got your freedom»

He said, «One day you will be all grown up

And I will be older too

And you can do whatchu wanna do

Just remember where you came from

And your life could be a kingdom»

And your life could be a kingdom

I was sipping from a bottle

Thinking 'bout tomorrow

When I asked myself a question

«Will I always be alone,

Always be broke,

Never gon' be right?»

But I remember, when the kids

They used to tease me 'bout my life

And my momma, she would say

When I got home from school that night

«If you ever feel alone

Ever feel broke

Know you’ll be alright»

'Cause you remember when your dad said «Son,

This life isn’t owed to you

A million things could go wrong for you

But at least you got your freedom»

He said, «One day you will be all grown up

And I will be older too

And you can do whatchu wanna do

Just remember where you came from

And your life could be a kingdom»

And your life could be a kingdom

Yeah just remember when you came from

And your life could be a kingdom
