I came into this world a castaway
Robust in body and in mind
And though I still cling tight to yesterday
Well, I got one thing I'm tryna find
I only hope that I can know where I stand, in the promised land
Woo
How long have I been wasting life away?
I'm running out of things to sell
The sun's a bitch, he's half come out to play
And you all been drinkin' from the well
I'm gonna find it, on my word I will stand, in the promised land
In the promised land
Woo
They're holding my head underwater now
But they know I cannot swim
And now they're asking if I'll make a vow
And be forgiven of my sins
And now they're saying, "He is not just a man"
I have to tell you that I don't like the plan
But I'll get back there any way that I can
The promised land
In the promised land
The promised land
In the promised land
