[Intro: Dream Junkies]
Man there's not enough joy in this world
What happened to the joy in this world
[Verse 1: Beleaf]
I am a Junkie
Glad I'm employed
Cause if feels good paying rent
When the rent is due
Though sometimes that work
I do get annoyed
Somebody told me count it all joy
My wife told me we having another baby
And turns out we having another a boy
So you know I gotta count it all joy
My cousin enlisted in the Marines
But he didn't come back cause he got k**ed
When deployed tell me how I'm supposed to
Count it all joy
And I've been having nightmares
Seems like somebody trying
To steal, k**, and destroy
I don't know how to count it all joy
My smile is counterfeit
I try but can't forget
The abuse that they won't admit
If I do, do I get it at a boy
They say we got a father in the sky
I believe 'em, but do I look like Elroy
[Bridge: Beleaf]
It's hard to smile with all this pain in me
I don't want to stay the same
I want to see change in me
Man I see 'em smiling
But they ain't envy
[Hook: Beleaf]
I just wanna be
Happy happy joy joy
I just wanna be
I just want to enjoy joy
Happy happy joy joy
I just wanna (2x)
I just wanna enjoy joy
[Verse 2: John Gives]
I ain't been smiling lately
I lost my mind, I'm wasting time
I got no power baby
I need love's shower daily
Buzz is crazy
Me and my cousin J been
k**ing these songs with kindness
I need some calm and quite
I don't really like the attention
But I don't really fight the attention
I wonder "will my life be mentioned"
In the book of life, good riddance
How did my stripe get listless
Just got a kite from prison
The homie say he proud of the way I shed light for a minute
I'm feeling the pressure
I really don't care for your call to correct my call
A direction I'm called to reflect God grace in a case of cause and effect
Tell me how I'm supposed to count it all joy
With the stress ya'll make me feel
I'm a human that keeps it real
I'm a Christian that's losing zeal
Tell how i'm supposed to count it all joy
Let me hit my knees and pray
Our Father who art in heaven help me find my way
[Bridge: Beleaf]
It's hard to smile with all this pain in me
Gotta let Jesus be the King and let Him reign in me
Man I see 'em smiling
But they ain't envy
[Hook: Beleaf]
[Verse 3: Ruslan]
I been waking up with my head high and my heart low
I been doing this for so long, so where did all them lyrics go
Huh, woulda thought we would of been on
But they ain't really hear it though
What if I've been off the whole time
What if I've been rushing gold mines
Empty tombs, empty rooms of fools gold Injoy, who knows
Maybe God planned a crude joke
Maybe my faith is just really pseudo
Spirituality I really don't wanna hear he tell me count in all joy
To be honest man I'm sick of that
Cause my momma keep on sippin out and
The homies keep on flippin out I can't count it all joy
Violations gettin enforced, homes keep gettin torched, best friends keep gettin divorced
Its hard to count it all joy
With scars as large as Grand Canyon
I'm a fallen man standing, risen ashes from the damage huh
[Outro: Beleaf]
Yeah i'm supposed to fake it till I make it huh
Yeah I'm supposed to be happy, happy
But this life keeps getting worse
But I just keep smiling and pretend that Im happy, happy
