lirik lagu sister souljah - my god is a powerful god
[sampled speech]
if you had said. if you sick tonight. if i’ve got a problem that you can’t seem to solve. some you may not be able to overcome. and really, when we sing this song, we’re just witnessing, telling what god can do, what he has done
[chorus]
my god is powerful, with him i know i can do anything
my god is powerful, if you try to keep me down, he’s always there to lift me up. yes, he is
[skit]
finesse: hey, sister souljah, what’s up?
sister souljah: peace. how you doing?
finesse: how you doing?
sister souljah: alright
finesse: my name is finesse, i’ve seen you on the video music box
sister souljah: uh~huh
finesse: and i was like wondering, “where you get your strength and your power from?”
sister souljah: aww, i get my power from god
finesse: from god? seems like you all militant and all of that. i was like wondering even if you believe in god
sister souljah: hey, i was raised in the church. i believe in god finesse: you do?
sister souljah: yeah, black people have always been spiritual, you know?
finesse: yeah, i know that
sister souljah: when we were taken from africa, we lost a lot of our culture. we were taught to be ashamed of our beliefs. andwe lost a lot of religious power
finesse: hmm
sister souljah: anyway, anytime you lose your god, you know you lost the war, right?
finesse: yeah, the war. you always be talking about, “we are at war” like what you mean when you be saying, “we are at war”?
sister souljah: we live on these streets. we live on these streets, brother
finesse: yeah, i do
sister souljah: the war between good and evil
finesse: then who is god then?
sister souljah: hey, god is within you. god is within me. god is within every brother and sister out here
finesse: right, see i bel~, i share the same belief. but i’m trying to figure out within myself, why doesn’t everybody else believe in him?
sister souljah: because the europeans, you know. the white people they painted an image of a powerless and empty god
finesse: right, right
sister souljah: you know, a god that doesn’t look like you, doesn’t look like me
finesse: sure do, i agree with you on that
sister souljah: this god cooperates with injustice, and goes along with anything
finesse: yeah, i get what you’re saying
[collision]: (background singers) my god is powerful (repeated)
sister souljah: they gave us a god that loves his enemies regardless of the evil actions that he does
finesse: true, true
sister souljah: they gave us a god who does not even bring about law, justice, equality, and balance
finesse: right
sister souljah: yo, the average brother or sister like yourself doesn’t even believe in god because they say, “if there was a god, black people wouldn’t be livin’ the way we do all across this world.”
finesse: you right, you know, you’re absolutely right about that
tlc: finesse, man, come on man, we out of here. what you doing?
finesse: you what’s up man, yo hold on, just give me few more minutes, you know what i’m sayin’? that’s my partner, tlc, you know
tlc: aight, aight. souljah, how you doin’?
sister souljah: hey, what up what up?
tlc: alright. yo, keep doin’ what you doing, alright?
sister souljah: alright, peace
finesse: yeah you know, you know, back to what we were saying, ‘cause i gotta hurry up, you know, cause’ my man [?] you know?
sister souljah: uh huh
finesse: anyways, sister, um, being that i’m a black man, and you a black woman. why don’t you explain to me what you think god is?
sister souljah: my god is a powerful black god. the true god is powerful, he is love, but most of all, he is justice. when a true god is confronted with injustice, he fights with wisdom, strength, force, and power, and he wins. god is always more powerful than the devil and all who do the work of the devil. god is greater than white supremacy. he is good and good always conquers evil. if god is on your side, you cannot lose. and if you are losing, you have not truly found god. he is within you and in your quiet time, you must talk to him. and he will give you the power because my god is a powerful god
[outro]
my god is powerful
my god will take me to the top, nothing can stop me, nothing can faze me
my god is powerful
