Wale - Golden Salvation (Jesus Piece) Lyrics






[Intro:]
Pray
Praises
Give thanks
To the Fada
Holy Water
Jesus piece
But don't nobody wanna know Jesus' peace, no

[Verse 1:]
Niggas use me to shine
I been helpin you stunt
Look why these rapping dudes ain't hit me in months
I don't ask for too much
Covered in VVS's
Women gon play ya closer
And them hungry jokers gon try test ya
Now they bumping your record
Ya confidence through the roof
Still ya show no respect kid
The good book said pray
But you so stuck in your ways
You got my image appraised
Why you sinning out waiting
Fornicating with women I sat right there on your table
Don't bow your head for grace
Though I'm keeping you graceful
Brothers was born to cheat
Though I question who faithful
Fast for me nope
Blasphemy though
Rap to it so racks up
To match up with me froze
How can a diamond supersede my wisdom
I seen a reverend with five of me as he read his scripture
This is bible readings to people with malice intentions
You silly get wits seen ahki with crucifix pendent
With a Cuban attached
On a secular scene
I died for you all
Now niggas die over me

[Hook:]
Jesus piece Jesus piece Jesus piece
But don't nobody want know Jesus peace
Jesus piece Jesus piece Jesus piece
But don't nobody want know Jesus peace

[Verse 2:]
Sierra Leone diamonds
LA to New York got em'?
If nobody stores have me
Some probably would know about me
All over paparazzi
Shout out to Murakami
See they commercialize me
I'm sure there will be more robberies
Work
New chain swag get you crew laid fast
Or laid down or not a ticket next to dad
And the bible told you wait on my arrival
But patience was your problem
So get Jacob to come find me
And religion is a style if not
Then why this shit a quarter mil
No fugazi see Jacob tell you that ish real
Hallelujah the things you do to be the manure
You never thank me at shows but you keep me on tour
Sunday services pastor is the wealthy ones working it
Preaching Armageddon while collection plates been circling the room
Fears but a tool
And Gospel gone commercial pray the purpose isn't cruel
And the workers in the pulpit want they blessings to improve
And they stone me on the cross and niggas stone me for the ooh's
And the ahh's foolish
What am I who are ya
I'm coming down from the sky cause niggas keep praying to shine
Look
Amen

[Outro:]
For the price of fame
What would you do to have em' say your name
See I promise I would never cop another chain but the arms spent on these VS
Got me in that complex page
For the price of fame
When that Bugatti drop my accountant stop me for a second and said not today not today
For the price of fame

For the price of fame
What would you do to have em' say your name
It is such a shame

  1. b.... p....

    On everything this is the greatest song i have ever heard. the concept is out of this world and the video really displays the depth of the song. wish people still believed in really listen to music and catching slick metaphors instead of only wanted to bob their head to some metro beat. (i love metro and all types of music) im just saying.

  3. M.... J....

    A lot of people don't understand Wale's music. If it's not about trapping, it's considered trash. Only those with the brain of a goldfish wouldn't be able to comprehend this poetic art.

  7. s.... b....

    Well thought out lyrically tight, message driven realness, respect.

  8. F.... D....

    The video takes a little bit away from the music ..because of the quality of the video makes people judge how good the music is ...needless to say this a master piece and soulful one at that ..Need.mOre rappers like this..

  32. T.... W....

    This track is slept on

  33. D.... A....

    I'm sure I've heard this b4

  34. D.... W....

    The level of literature in these lyrics yow!! I crown this man. Wale is second to none. "They stone me on the cross, now they stone (ice) me (Jesus piece) for the oohs and the aaahs (people's amusement). You will be forever underrated because ppl nowadays will never take the time to analyze your lyrics to understand them fully. There is no artiste past or present to compare to your literature and song writing. The man wrote a song speaking from Jesus' perspective! Jesus piece but don't nobody wanna knw Jesus' peace. Forever my rapper.

  35. B.... L....

    J IVY!!

  36. I.... M....

    Wale is a genius. Underrated af

  37. A.... P....

    Jesus Piece

  38. J.... _....

    The bible told you wait on my arrival, but patience was your problem so get Jacob to confine me

  39. J.... M....

    Party Home Looking Ladies Murriel and Harris.

  40. J.... M....

    Jahleah Murriel Dress Sweater Cheetah
    I'm Only On Too Ladies Picture.

  41. A.... J....

    Who every doesn't realize the positive poetic contemporaries of his art with REAL substance is brainwash with the bs they want u to believe is what real hip-hop is.

  42. C.... O....

    Is this supposed to be a jesus rap because if it is I like it

  43. s.... ....

    This concrete right here.

  44. d.... ....

    Wale wrote this from jesus perspective.. Maybe you should replay it and actually hear what he's talking about. It's actually genius

  45. N.... N....

    Fast for me nope
    Blasphemy though...
    Dang.....

  46. y.... m....

    Sooooo underrated its a crime.

  47. H.... P....

    There is always a big divide between fans when an artist actually tries to deliver a message instead of just making a track.

    H.... P....

    Indeed

  48. C.... M....

    "And the bible told you to wait on my arrival/ But patience was your problem/ So go get Jacob to come find me" WOOOOOOW! jus WOW

    C.... M....

    I've listened to this song a lot and i just now caught that!

    C.... M....

    Christopher Mcnealy confide me'

  49. G.... G....

    This song is so powerful and meaningful "The good book says praise but you so stuck in your ways you got my image appraised" wale's word play is serious 

  50. M.... P....

    This song is hard it makes me so mad that rappers get away with a nice hook and a hard beat. Wale songs/verses have meaning to them. Wayne don't talk about shit sometimes all the other rappers talk about a lot of shit they didn't do and have of y'all praise these wannabe thugs. But when someone show you their true character of he emotional or he soft. That's what's wrong ppl they got the wrong definition of being real, being real is being yourself. That's why I rock with wale

  51. J.... B....

    average minds can't understand Wale. Go listen to Soulja boy

  52. L.... S....

    Wale has knowledge that's getting real close to wisdom and understanding so wale I saw yo picture wit big g at bens chili bowl yesterday DC needs to support our own even if we ain't all together its bigger than us individually we need to unite the ppl not divide or hurt like Petey green says I tell it to the hot I will tell to the cold tell it to the young i will tell it to the old talk to me

  53. T.... ....

    I see alot of people are not seeing the messages is some of his songs. And then comment about things that are not a factor. Fools are just "hearing" the music... Not "listening" to it.

    T.... ....

    Right 👌

    T.... ....

    wales for the woke ones he's definitely not for everyone but certain rappers talk nonsense cause thats what their brain can function to . their frequency is low

  54. h.... ....

    i see why wale say people will get his music late not too many people know what good music is anymore i guess

  55. K.... F....

    Wale people don't want to know their wrongs. Wale you're a great artist. Trust me you will be a lot bigger just being a feature artist you're gifted with a closer/compete sound it's weird to explain.

  56. C.... D....

    Video better than rhe song....concept great, video treatment awesome, lyrics good, beat not strong enough just loud. The track has to be great nowadays

  57. S.... G....

    This should have at least 2 million views

  58. D.... W....

    rene is crazy.  WALE is the truth...stylistically lyrically, contextually.  don't listen in the aggregate. it disrespectful.

  59. i.... ....

    His production is so bad needs to get a new producer if he wants to keep up with cole kendrick and drake. He's definitely got the talent

    i.... ....

    irGuilty Ahhhh shut up

  60. M.... M....

    Keep doin it bruh. Major love from dc my nigga!!!!! #mademan4real

  61. S.... D....

    the video concept is dope. The concept of the song is dope.  the beat is average and I cant think of a stand out line in the verse.  that line that pops up in your head a week later on some 'damn he said ________ !!'  Sometimes when ur trying to get a point across, its better just to do it in story form. 

    S.... D....

    Seen DaDream Cause you ain't listened

  62. M.... W....

    Wale is the truth

  63. S.... L....

    If you're stupid enough that you do not see the genius metaphor in this . Don't bother listen to Wale.

  64. D.... O....

    Breakfast Club

  65. O.... K....

    I came here cause of the recent interview. I think his music goes over my head sometimes cause I can't really capture all the lyrics. I think wale will be a hip hop legend at the end. I just really hope his next project has a bit more clarity for me. Idk. Wale is top 5 tho!

  66. E.... M....

    one wale not the best lyricist. two his beat selection hit or miss. three his delivery is dry. four his hooks for his songs not memorable. Five he not entertaining. I like wale mix tapes because it was full of originality. and didn't sound like anything else. I have not liked any of his albums he has put out period. Lupe not the most entertaining dude but he had lyrics to back him up. Kendrick has a great delivery and keeps entertained through out any of his songs, J.Cole and Wale are at the same level  to me. But I will listen to J.Cole album before a Wale one because it is just better end of story. Point is I have all wale early mixtapes on my playlist and not one album. Dude has Fans and should take gratitude in that he is a successful artist.

    E.... M....

    Eric Meadows Shut up.Wale is q dope lyricst. You just ain't listened

    E.... M....

    Eric Meadows Kendrick is overrated af

  67. S.... ....

    Wale salty this only has 200k views, but it's better that my 27 views on my video

    S.... ....

    But wale has talent 😂

  68. p.... ....

    Came because of breakfast club

  69. J.... K....

    favorite song on the album. its the simple minded who dont understand. before the video came out i knew he was talking from the chains perspective. i dont understand how people dont see what he talkin bout in this song. Wale is not appreciated for whatever reason. Keep running

  70. l.... ....

    Here from the breakfast club interview also.. Reading these comments pissing me off... The curse of the Internet, it gives idiots a larger platform to be heard... Good shit wale... Stay hungry bro

  71. F.... J....

    My Favorite Rappers Gucci Mane but I understand Music like Wale's It's Music the Mind Can Picture #FreeGuwop

  72. J.... M....

    People in these comments can't analytically take out his lyrics out its context and understand its true meaning. I can see why people can't see the vision. wale is deff ahead of his time

    J.... M....

    Above and beyond all!! I support wat u say 100

  73. T.... A....

    I cant believe the breakfast club had to bring me here, how have I not heard this shi I been following Wale since the beginning I'm from baltimore wtf is there a media lockout for this video or something?!

    T.... A....

    Bruh, it's track 5 on the gifted album ..........

    T.... A....

    I knw Im talkin bout the video

    T.... A....

    @The Atlas Don't feel bad... i'm just seeing it today.. and i was looking for it

    T.... A....

    Its Sad But Your True Bro ....The Industry Is Ran By People That Worship The Devil

    T.... A....

    Global Bandz truth

  74. T.... ....

    Oh he got more views from us seeing the breakfast club 

  75. B.... ....

    This is dope Wale

  76. J.... W....

    Under appreciated genius 

  77. K.... L....

    people or so cruel 

  78. p.... ....

    The problem is Wale himself. Can anyone quote ten memorable bars/lines from him? Wales albums never sound coherent, musically they go all over the place. The biggest criticism I have for him is his flo and delivery. Regardless of the production behind it sounds identical, which leads to the music sounding repetitive and monotonous. His rhyme style needs some variation and maybe it's time he acknowledges he isn't as good as he thinks he is...

    p.... ....

    @ADAJ3 tell this dude ^ above he don't know real music

    p.... ....

    That's exactly how I feel about Kendrick. Weak flow and delivery. Nothing special. His fans over hyped him like fuck

  79. p.... ....

    Black heroes has one of the best verses I've ever heard

    p.... ....

    Nigga how times are you gonna post this comment ?

    p.... ....

    Bruh are u serious you can't be, I don't think you are. Especially not after posting that wack ass rap video on your page, which lacked everything substance, delivery, and flow it was so terrible.

  80. K.... ....

    How to go see what this nigga was crying about. And i'm not impressed,
    Keep hustling cuz.

  81. A.... T....

    I dig it. Still better and far more content than lil wayne has ever done in his entire career collectively.

  82. C.... ....

    Wale isn't horrible, he's just not what I want to listen to. I listen to Nas and Cole when I want to hear bars.

    C.... ....

    COURTLANDELLIOT He's better than Cole

  83. j.... ....

    Wale is great! He is just honest about his feelings. He says what a lot of other rappers think but don't say. Ya'll calling it crying, I say he's being real about the industry. It is crazy how ppl complain about no real rap but only give most of their attention to the club bangers. Maybe if he tried more attracting beats, it would give him the exposure he deserves. Grasp ppl with the instrumental and then they will listen to the lyrics.

  84. K.... ....

    True , why this only has 200k views. But songs like shmudar have 10 millionaires. And anaconda has almost 100viewa smh. He is so talented and there isn't much difference between him and j cole and kendric Lamar there all the same .

    K.... ....

    maaan!! don't bow your head for Grace... still I keep u graceful.... shiit This is art

  85. r.... ....

    The Wale interview on Breakfast Club brought me here

  86. r.... l....

    Just boring like most of his tracks! Just boring !!!!! It sounds like a wannabe 10 years ago Kanye watery track !!!!!!! I think Wale is almost out the door. And you better respect the church homie !  he lacks musicality. He doesn't get it he says. The music sucks !!!!! It's dated and unwell produced. Drop the wed and you'll get your brand better. It's not a likeable thing just the songssss. Every artists that's not selling starts blaming everything but the music (radio, managers, labels, fans, white people, red people, etc.). ALWAYS THE same !!!! BLAME YOURSELF WALE!   Case closed ! I have spoken !!!!   ----- With this petty emotional unprofessional ill advised attitude I would drop him from the label right away. Complaining doesn't inspire NOBODY.

    r.... l....

    @Maurice Peterson you dont know what ur talking bout. Run Dmc weren't lyrical either and still a classic group. Hip hop is not based on lyricism only. Hiphop is mostly a feeling. A vibe. And Rihanna is actually one of the only pop act that never lipsync. You clearly dont know what ur talking about. And look at you defending topics like hoes and drugs. What a shame. Ur not qualified to argue with me

    r.... l....

    @rene levesque I'm tired of hearing about hoes and drugs. I'm saying people will listen to Wanye talk about a whole lot of nothing and people think he the hottest. Drugs and hoes is all he talk about. I like Wale cause that's not all he talk about. Run dmc was hot because their music was basically positive music rap nothing derogatory. Why would I justify talking about hoes and drugs I can care less about that shit lol like really. You right it's not just about lyrics but to say he sucks come on now. Chief keef suck all he had was nice beats and hooks. I would much rather hear good lyrics over beats and hooks.

    r.... l....

    rene levesque Shut up. He's rapping from a Jesus piece chain perspective. If you can't see the genius in this you're remedial

    r.... l....

    ADAJ3 Exactly

  87. T.... ....

    This Is dope now I see what wale is talking about. #Real Music
