Common Hymnal - The Revival Remix Lyrics

[Intro]
Brothers and sisters, go on and get you a good, little seat because it's time for a talk (Yes, sir)
And grab an ice cube while you're at it, because this tea is about to get really hot (Whoo!)
See, there's a lot of y'all that prayed for something big to happen (Mhm)
You shouted and cried, and ran around pleadin' with Heaven to give us something amazin'
And now amazing is startin' to look more and more within our grasp
But wait, it doesn't like what you expected (Nah)
It's not popular like we anticipated (Uh-huh), but maybe that's the point
Maybe we didn't need another big moment, maybe we'll get something better
Maybe we'll get revival instead, the revival we're lookin' for
It's not a social media sensation, it's a weighty social transformation
But, let me be abundantly clear
If revival comes, it will not come cheap (Whoo!)
It will not come quietly (Whoo!)
And it will not go viral
Let me say that again
It will not come cheap
It will not come quietly
Revival will not go viral
This will not be trendy
And it won't trend within your algorithmic timelines (Nah)
We don't need more viral, we need revival (Yes, sir)
Revival will not have a banner ad, an unboxing, a review, or reaction video (Uh-huh)
It will not come with a subscription service (Whoo!)
The revival will not be premium content
We don't need more viral, we need revival (That's right, yeah)
Because we're not talkin' about something as trivial as clicks or shares
What we're talkin' about is a genuine move of God
And genuine means messy
And messy is bad for branding
You can't sell genuine
You can't read it off a teleprompter
You can't shove it in a super PAC (Yeah)
This will not be loyal to a party
There will be no covert sponsorship from the Democrats (Uh-huh)
It will have nothing to do with Republicans
You will not be able to pander or promise positions of power
It will hold no prospects for politicians, or pastors for that matter
So please, put your phone down, sir or ma'am
This revival will not go viral
This revival will not build your subscriber base
It will not get you fifteen percent off your first week with our special promo code
There will not be a reality show spin-off or Netflix special
The revival will not be monetized
Revival is not profitable
Therefore, it is not for sale
We don't need more viral, we need revival
Won't DM your way into a move like this
There will be no "who-you-knowing" or "good-ol'-boying" your spot
This is not about popularity or success, but truth
Keep your convenient signs and hashtaggable catchphrases to repeat
You won't get over it in three months
No campaign will distract you from it
No bullet can gun it down
The revival is bulletproof
We don't need more viral, we need revival
I can't tell you when the revival will come
But I can tell you it's happening now, I see it
In the reconstruction of faith apart from political binaries, I see it
In the liberated songwriters who want more from their lyrics than karaoke at camps and conferences
I can't tell you what it will look like in detail
But I can tell you what it will sound like, what it will smell like
It'll sound like immortal footsteps walking through water hoses and lynch mobs
It'll sound like that look from your grandmama that set you straight when you got out of line
It'll sound like when your cousin came home from doin' time (Yeah)
It'll sound like old-school high church on a hardwood floor
It'll sound like the rumblings of dissatisfaction with the way things have been
It'll smell like initiative and excellence (Yeah)
It'll smell like independence and ownership (Yeah)
It'll smell like a table set before us in the presence of our enemies (Yes, sir)
What you know about freedom, young brother?
What you know about what it costs, my sister?
We need to know, fam'
We need to know because a revival has a weight to it
And you gon' have to carry that thing
It's goin' with you wherever you take it
So you gon' have to take it where Brother Malcolm couldn't take it
Where Auntie Rosa couldn't take it
You gon' have to take it to your kids
Revival has generational implications
So get ready to get your hands dirty
A revival will be on the ground
It will be in your house
It'll be bold in the best way
It will answer prayers from generations gone by
We don't need more viral
The revival will not go viral
But it will go forward
You best believe that
