[Chorus]
Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace

[Verse 1]
Kumbaya, kumbaya
I tell my secrets to a bottle
I trust it over a couple of people that I know
I tipped it over I really got suicidal
I felt way too guilty so I read the bible
Not for forgiveness I did that shit for survival
Born in the system but bitch I broke out the cycle
I took off from the ditches but still got homies inside
Evil runs loose every day and night
Love only visits on your birthday night
Can't judge a torn soul till you felt it's pain
Now heal me with all these chains

[Chorus]
Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
[Verse 2]
Kumbaya, kumbaya
Pay me in karats yeah, yeah
Get me to Paris so I can fuck up a marriage yeah, yeah
Fuck up a wedding, fuck in the back of the carriage yeah, yeah
Pay me in karats I need my halo to glisten yeah, yeah
Pay me in love and peace and I'll pay you attention yeah (Yeah)
Pray for my ties children I pay their tuition so
If you pay me with hate and envy they'll pay you a visit (Yeah)
These words kill my sisters with anxiety
But these things heal my spirit with entirety (Yeah)
I'm living untidy serenity walked out on me
For that reason I need Jesus and his pieces to shine on me (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya, kumbaya
Strings and bling and strings and bling
The peace they bring to me, I sing
For peace, for peace, for love and peace
The streets is deep, they need the peace
