Kendrick Lamar - Faith Lyrics

Everyone thinks I’m fine but I always got these thoughts going through my head. I hope we all make it through this beautiful struggle

ALL YOU NEED IS THE SIZE OF A MUSTARD SEED !

One of his sincerest street gospels... And after all these years its STILL BANGIN'!!!🔥🔥🔥

Why isn’t this on iTunes ?

I do everything in my power to stay away from the “older brother” mindset from the parable of the prodigal son. The older brother felt entitled for his faith and his self-righteousness kept him from enjoying all of his father’s gifts. This is such a powerful song.

If you believe in the devil , you believe in God,Jesus and everything Bibical.

Just realized cordae used this sample in “Family Matters” thought it sounded familiar

Good ear!

Still listening till dis day 🗣

U ain't real if u don't feel this song in yo soul

I almost cried this is the old Kendrick I used to listen to

338 people do not have faith.

Sample: Tired of Fighting - Menahan Street Band

2019 STILL HERE

Kendrick was on some other level

Anyone else think this beat sounds similar to YBN Cordaes family matters???

Cody Lee wouldn’t it be that family matters sounds like this?

Why is this not on Spotify?

Disssect

This shit is deep 😞 I used to be so religious. Went down the wrong the path I've lost everything but still I'm here struggling trying to get back to the familiar many of my friends have taken their own lives or died from overdoses why am I still here

edward arsiaga in god you’ll find the way

Love this song

Watching this picture while listening to this song high makes me feel a certain vibe

This is my moms joint

God gave us Kendrick Lamar 🙌🏾

I was here before ybn cordae remixed but it brought me back

2019 kendrick music is soul food🙏

Who’s listening in 2019?

So bitter sweet

I feel like what he said at the end was evil as af

YBN Cordae brought me here

Rather not live like there isn't a God then die and find out there really is.Think about it

Here from ybn

Curren$y murdered this beat back in the day 2 bro 💯🔥

THIS LIFE IS NOT FAIR...BUT WHATEVER YOU GONNA DO JUST HAVE FAITH..I'M STRUGGLING AT THIS MOMENT ..business is tough and thought about this song and i'm glad i did..FAITH IS ALL I GOT

Who here cuz of Cordae?

Who's hear from YBN Cordae's Family Matters? 🤔🙋🏿‍♂️

this track is always there for me...through hardships and the good times

😔 on repeat man .

I feel like I’m ready to go sometimes but I always try fighting..

This one almost brings me to tears every time.

In midst of it all only faith can pull you off the gutter😭😭😭

Respect for kendrick restored...

When I was a kid, my family was heavily involved in the church, our pastor left on a mission trip and was replaced by another pastor and his family, this man was vile and used the church for his own purposes and pushed tides. My family and his clashes and long story short we were asked to leave the church after his faith and use of the churches funds and ideals were challenged. After that my pops taught me about what Jesus really did, that he walked amongst the whores, I’ll, and the evil amongst men. And spread a message and implanted ideals of the way to live. I always feel god and the faith I have around me, this song is real as it comes because it speaks on real shit. And yeah why not believe, have a good moral compass, be kind and when the devil pops in ya head and you know better turn to your faith. Cuz when you die if you reach them gates and your judged and you didn’t believe???? You know where your going. Peace be with you and Kendrick keep the message alive and you’ll shine for ever

Shout out to Menahan Street Band

Christianity is not the way. It's the white mans ways to keep Blacks oppressed

Nostalgia, I feel old.

So glad i found this song......faith is everything.

me too bro

damn this is a good song #2019

Damn man had to come here to think shit hard out here fr trying not to fold but damn think i just lost the only person that i felt real love from shit fucked up

Sample from Menahan Street Band - Tired of Fighting  (2008)

I stopped practicing my religion but I still keep my faith in God. I don't question if God is real or not anymore I still keep my faith in God (wether God is real or not) because it keeps me sane and it keeps me from falling on the wrong path. I know there's people who don't believe in a god but are still great people who do great things, so I refuse to judge people based on their beliefs all it does is cause division.

He said to live the way he did, that's all he want from me.
Spread the word and witness, he rose on the first Sunday.

Who else in here misses his Kendrick Lamar ????👋👋

Now this is Music right here

Did y'all keep y'all faith

His Pain by Kendrick ft. BJ The Chicago Kid is another good one

👑😇🙇🏾‍♀️

Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

he comes in the misdt on the hill

What original song is this

Always live by the truth, and trust yourself. Never fear death, bcoz real death is this life.. don't live by faith or hope. "The truth shall set you free!" =)

Came here just to cry and get all emotional

Kendrick lamar doesn't write his shit. He couldn't have... This is too real for a script

Wish I could just have a moment to speak to this nigga for real just 5 min is all i would ask. I get blowing up changes things n to be honest never really changed him but it did. Before fame was straight up n lyrics speaking to those with vision those with the understanding of ethnic growth. Now it seems he hides it. Old kendrick needs to come back am I alone? I feel like he was one the same with j Cole that could bring the fact of using your game for the better. It's not views its what's spoken n he had a way of speaking straight it needs to come back

I speak greater over your life!!!

I still wanna die

Kendrick Lamar is so lyrical

Thought about many ways to escape. He took two of my biggest consequences away. If it wasn't for me being so self conscious I would have abated my faith many times. The pride of not wanting to be whispered about kept me there. But my faith kicked me out. I don't regret having it. But don't you regret losing it... Just two different kinds of pressure. You just another kind of diamond. Respect

Kdot at his realest.

[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
I take a sip of Hennessy and then get pissy drunk
I ain't a drinker, I'm a thinker, call it what you want
But if you turn your back, know that you just missed your chance
To witness the realest shit that's ever been told to man
I found myself losing focus at a Sunday service
Embarrassed so I start questioning God, "What is my purpose?"
He said to live the way he did, that's all he want from me
Spread the word and witness, he rose on the first Sunday
I said alright, enthused that my Lord gave a listen
I opened my Bible in search to be a better Christian
And this from a person that never believed in religion
But shit, my life is so fucked up, man; I can't help but give in
I'm giving testimonies to strangers I never met
Hopped on the pulpit and told them how I was truly blessed
Felt like I'm free from all my sins when the service was over
Walked out the church, then got a call that my homie was murdered
Then lost my faith again

[Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid]
What am I gonna do
Gotta have faith
Life is too much
I'm just through
Where is your faith?
(Don't you give up dont you give in...)
Faith
All you need is the size of a mustard seed

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Single black parent from Compton raising children of 4
That's 4 innocent bastards cause Papa, they don't know
Her day consists of working back and forth with babysitters
Can't find no one to watch her kids, so she pay her sister
Her baby daddy ain't 'bout shit, that nigga ain't 'bout shit
Spilt his daughter milk just to cop a new outfit
She pray to God every night hoping that he'll mature
And maybe one day his kids, something that he'll live for
Baby wanna go back to school but she need some help
Because it's hard trying to pay the bills when you're by yourself
She thought about credit card scams, 'til she heard a voice
That said, "The Devil is a lie, make a better choice."
And so it's back to McDonald's and every month dealing
With those crazy ass people at the county building
Looked to the heavens and asked Him to make a better way
Then got a letter in the mail, lost her Section 8
Then lost her faith again

[Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid]
What am I gonna do
Gotta have faith
Life is too much
I'm just through
Where is your faith?
(Don't you give up dont you give in...)
Faith
All you need is the size of a mustard seed

[Verse 3: Punch]
I had dreams of holding a 9 milla to Ray's killa
Ask him why as my eyes fill up
Each day it gets more realer, orangutans bang like gorillas
It's jungle when the niggas in zoo
The rats lurking, vultures circling the serpents
Cats lying through they teeth, my nigga didn't deserve it
I flirted with the ideal of caressing the steel
To make karma come faster than she normally will
It's ill, to see my faith try and leave me
It's so hard to get it, to get rid of it is easy
I'm tryna reach Cloud 9, that's what my niggas 'bout
But it never rain in California unless the pistols out
Until then, my feet planted on the ground
Shadowboxing my conscience till my faith start responding
And if I get no answer, just know I tried
I should have never looked into his son's eyes
Rayshawn Boyce

[Hook: BJ The Chicago Kid]
What am I gonna do
Gotta have faith
Life is too much
I'm just through
Where is your faith?
(Don't you give up dont you give in...)
Faith
All you need is the size of a mustard seed

[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
This for my people that stressing whenever times is hard
Your mind's slipping, wondering, "Is there really a God?"
Knowing you shouldn't think that way and trying to freeze your brain
But whenever there's pain, that feeling forever remains
We can't believe what we can't see and reality seems stronger than prayer
Cause you tried to change your life, and now you live in a wheelchair
And your son was born with cancer and he live in urgent care
At the tender age of 12, and you feel that no one cares
Searching for answers, that's human nature, you ain't in the wrong
Just know when you feeling that way His Spirit's in the room
I watched people I know pray and catch the Holy Ghost
And wonder why I ain't ever caught that feeling before
Maybe they know Him better, or I don't know no better
But what I do know, is that He's real and He lives forever
So the next time you feel like your world's about to end
I hope you studied because He's testing your faith again

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar]
I'd rather not live like there isn't a God
Than die and find out there really is
Think about it

I think I'm addicted

Looked up the meaning of the mustard seed, that was beautiful

How is it that I just found this track now?????? Time to trim my tree I think... X

Thank u G

Man my life so fucked up I cant help but give in
