Keep My Spirit Alive (God’s Country Version)
[Intro: Kanye West & KayCyy]
Keep my spirit alive
We must now realise the promise of America by trusting God
Keep my spirit alive, alive
Unifying our vision, and building the future, know what I mean?
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
Well, between a mix of bad schools with the fast food
The spirit won't die, die
Bad had tools and a bad mood
Oh, oh, my life
If you don't turn to a lil' Gotti, they gon' drain all the strength in your lil' body
It's in His hands, so I don't stress, I pray and strategize
They turned me into a lil' Gotti, uh, yeah
(The spirit won't die, God on my side)

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Not Wakanda but Wakanda is kinda like what we 'bout to make
And who gon' make it? Kan', duh
Who the squad? Donda
Who the mom? Donda
Who can see? Don, duh, get Don C
MIB, I told LV like Farrakhan told me
You can take the V, it still won't cure the disease (My life, yeah)
Uh, still won't cure the disease, still won't cure, yeah

[Chorus: Kanye West & KayCyy]
More than enough
The spirit won't die
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
[Verse 2: Kanye West, Dem Jointz, & KayCyy]
Y'all more concerned about raisin' your next round than raisin' your next child
(The spirit won't die, die)
Here's the exodus from the one you exiled
We won't panic in a pandemic, we can stand in it
(Oh, my life)
Believe in the word, know the spirit is transcendent
(It's in His hands so I don't stress, I pray and strategize)
People who stress you out, my vision clear without it (The spirit won't die)
But it's y'all, I swear I’m sorry to hear about it
I'm not sorry it happened
I'm just sorry to hear about it
I'm either the best decision, or your worst mistake
Every day's a song, it only takes the hook to break, you know
Headed back to Cody on the first thing smokin'
I'ma get a room at the first thing open, brr-ah
Step into the sanctuary
You gon' thank me so much, I had to start a thank-tuary
(More than enough)
Tell the assassins I escaped from Calabasas
(You can take it all, but the Lord on my side)
Where they wanna turn my wife to Jackie Jo Jackson
Jackie Robinson, we had that
(The spirit won't die, die)
When the World Cup Series and that’s just us practicin', but
Who needs practice? I don't do rehearsals
(Oh, my life)
And I don't do commercials, 'cause they too commercial
(It's in His hands so I don't stress, I pray and strategize)
Give it all to God and let Jesus reimburse you
She said "You in the studio with who? I'ma hurt you"
How I'm forty-two and you got a curfew?
How nerves dictate how they gon' curve you?
(Keep my spirit alive)
Quiet all the cordialness
(Keep my spirit alive, I—)
We walk in God's spiritual ordinance
We know the Blacks, the orphans refused to be runaways
Rebel, renegade, must stay paid
(Keep my spirit alive)
[Chorus: Kanye West & KayCyy]
The spirit won't die
More than enough
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side

[Verse 3: Kanye West, Dem Jointz, & KayCyy]
My puffer so puffy, you thought it was Sean John
(The spirit won't die, die)
Over a vintage suit my dad wore to my mom's prom
Go home to the wifey to avoid the Rom-Coms
(Oh, my life)
How you break the net and go to sleep in Mom Joms?
(It's in His hands so I don't stress, I pray and strategize)
Summer basketball camp down in Maryland
Used to play with the Tarabans
Used to play with the Taliban
How the police officer would view the fellow African
That DC crossover had me feelin' arrogant
But I got scopiphobia, don't stare at him
Favorite intern worked somewhere else for more cheese
But I can't cry over spilled milk employees
Back up, back up, back up this the main event
I saw Cassie trainer, and my girl ain’t had a male trainer since
(More than enough)
I need an estate plan with an escape plan
Just in case I'm ambushed by Mr. Fake Tan
(You can take it all, but the Lord on my side)
You are an example of someone who ain’t prayin’
(The spirit won't die, die)
You a sinner, all orange like a fake tan
(Oh, my life)
Satan is Helen Keller to people
Until we all agree he a liar, we ain't equal
(It's in His hands so I don't stress, I pray and strategize)
Brought souls to Hov, now bring the souls to Jehovah
Raised in the cold, thank God I'm bipolar
I wouldn't do a Doc on Mike, I'm not Oprah
Drenched in the blood, I'm not what 'cha call sober
I followed in the word and did what the Lord told us
Now I've got the culture back on my shoulders
[Chorus: KayCyy]
Keep my spirit alive
Keep my spirit alive, alive
More than enough
You can take it all, but the Lord on my side
The spirit won't die, die
Oh, my live (Yeah)
It's in His hands so I don't stress, I pray and strategize
