Lyrics

[Preluding Sample: Coming to America (1988)] Eddie Murphy as Akeem Joffer Arsenio Hall as Reverend Brown Woman: Yes, Lord! Reverend Brown: Only God can give that woman that kind of joy she had right there! Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Crowd: Joy! Akeem: I am very happy to be here! [Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid] Joy! (oh) Joy! Joy! (ahhh) Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! (ahhh) Joyyy! (ahhh) Oh Joyyy! Joyyy! Joyyy! [Verse 1] Only healthy relationships Don't be loyal to destructive shit, yeah Don't get desperate and settle for anything They make money when you miss step, yeah I miss a lot of shots cause i take a lot of shots All they gave us was sports, I had to fight off the block Square up with cops, gun to my head I thought I was dead, look I'm alive and well Highly favored in the city in the field Praises go up blessings come down, God is real I was cursed to see what life should be like, It haunts me still I can't unsee what I've seen, and how it feels I know i don't have to die to live, you know me well I know imma have heaven on Earth, you know it's hell My steps are ordered, I choreographed all of this I did all of that, so I could do this [Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid] Joy! (oh) Joy! Joy! (ahhh) Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! (ahhh) Joyyy! (ahhh) Oh Joyyy! Joyyy! Joyyy! [Verse 2] I lost it all, now I got lot more to lose I did it all, still got a lot more to do After all that we've been through just thinking bout it you'd cry too Joy comes in the morning, but the night time you gotta get through I love my family when I'm all happy, ain't been around like I used to, yeah Some shit you never get used to, yeah Pass, dribble, or shoot Spectators watching your next move, what you gone do It's time to bring it home The club behind me but i bat alone Bet on yourself and let the world know All I want is more for us Young always say a high tide lifts all ships and there is enough for us I don't even ask for much [Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid] Joy! (oh) Joy! Joy! (ahhh) Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! Joyyy! Oh Joy! Joyyy! (ahhh) Joyyy! (ahhh) Oh Joyyy! Joyyy! Joyyy! It's going to be, be-be-be-be-be be-be-be so live It's going to be, be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be so live It's going to be, be-be-be-be-be be-be-be so live It's going to be, be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be so live
