Khriiistos Arcana - Tribulations Lyrics

Blessed with another day
Thank the lord with prayer
Feeling like a miracle we wasn't supposed make it here
Devils tried to break us here
Weathered thru the strongest storms
Babies in the arms of they mothers that was holding on to

Faith for brighter tomorrow, her son and father scorned
Victim to a wicked land
Pawns within a bigger plan
Why can't they understand
They choose to turn a blinded eye
With no humanity
Like demons only live inside
They black hearts

Trapped here where pistols and the crack spark
And we ain't bring in either but take the rap God
It hard here
Like everywhere we turn they show our flaws
Fear they instill in the masses
We bear the scars tears they roll down
Living close to rivers we was sold down

They tell us never remember
Them towns with sundown slogans on the billboards
Nooses for the black boys
And we still feel that old Jim Crow
The new age tabloid is mainstream media
Lies is what they feeding us as truth
Ain't they even pressure em' for proof

Just long as we was demonized
Slandered and dehumanized
And still kept a smile on our face
Though we faced with harshest of conditions here
Crooked politicians steer
The masses from divine light
Pastor sent to blind sight
Stepped in the limelight with hopes to raise the darkest veil
For my people from hood to cells

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh

We survived through this hell realm
Projects to the jail cells
Heroin to crack rock
Poverty's the backdrop
Court with no hoops, glass shattered on the blacktop
Schools with no books
Crack vials in the sandbox

Graffiti landmarks we dedicated to the slain
Still pouring out the drank for those who died in vain
And still we thriving chasing dreams
Laughed away pain
In every struggle is a lesson
Every loss a gain, looking for the light
For his family he gone make it right, hustling every night
Heard for freedom one must pay a price

Blood, sweat and tears, it appears is nature's currency
And we pay it forward, til' the balance of a eternity
Is paid up with no debt, heaven at our doorsteps
Til then we waiting patiently, these demons never breaking me
And still we hustle brazenly survival is the only goal
By any means we ain't die break or fold

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh

We done been through it all
Came through the fire
And we still standing strong through the trials
And the Tribulations
The Tribulations, Oh
