Текст песни Spiritual, Jay Z

[Intro:]
And it says, now the works of the flesh are manifest, meaning, the things that are in the sinful nature, they always come to the surface. And when they come, when they come to the surface, they come to the surface as demons.

All this work can pay off,
I just want all this work to pay off.
Just don't calculate us,
Don't calculate us,
Get to know you later.
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Alcohol in my room,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Chorus:]
Yeah, I am not poison, no, I am not poison,
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair, don't shoot!
I just wanna do good, ah,
I am not poison, no, I am not poison,
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair, don't shoot,
I just wanna do good, uh!

[Verse 1:]
Pray your father's father wasn't touchin' his little daughter
Creatin' trans-generational trauma, that shit'll haunt ya,
Pray your little cousin ain't fall from the place that you fall asleep.
Of course, it's hard for me,
Nigga ain't dozed, I ain't washed in a week,
I ain't changed clothes 'til the Black Album.
Y'all rap about it, I'm wrestlin' in these streets,
'Til I tapped out 'em, them niggas is WWE.
Y'all can have that, I'm smack dab
In a hurricane of emotions,
Can't even raise my little daughter, my little Carter,
We call her Blue ‘cause it's sad that,
How can I be a dad that? I never had that.
Shattered in a million pieces, where the glass at?
I need a drink, shrink or something,
I need an angelic voice to sing something,
Bless my soul, extend your arms, I'm cold,
Hold me for a half hour until I am whole, yeah!

[Chorus:]
I am not poison, no, I am not poison,
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair, don't shoot,
I just wanna do good, ah!
Alcohol in my room,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

[Verse 2:]
Sick of hidin' in holes and behind hyperbole,
This is the real me unfold,
Gangster is love, I'm thuggin', I'm huggin',
This is tougher than any gun that I raised,
Any crack that I blazed, that was nothing.
Peelin' back the layers, uncoverin'
Scars that never healed, I never kept it this real,
I acted out, my life a stage, ten thousand people watchin',
Where's the little boy I knew?
I must have forgot him.
Stuntin', of course we never grew,
But we're alone now, and I'm singin' this song for you.
Stuntin', of course we never grew,
But we're alone now, and I'm singin' this song... you.

[Chorus:]
I am not poison, no, I am not poison,
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair, don't shoot,
I just wanna do good, ah!
I am not poison, no, I am not poison,
Just a boy from the hood that
Got my hands in the air
In despair, don't shoot,
I just wanna do good, uh!
Alcohol in my room,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison.
Just don't calculate us,
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not poison,
Just don't calculate us.
Spiritual, yes, it is spiritual,
No, I'm not poison, no, I'm not...
