Hallelujah Lyrics

[Verse 2: T.I.]
I went to jail, stood tall, then I fell again
It seems like I'm Jonah and right back in that whale again
I felt the panic when they locked me in that cell again
I had to pray and meditate, control my breath again
Like Lazarus I’ve risen from a bed of death again
The Lord is with me, I could stand against a thousand men
I read the songs of David, prayed to be like Solomon
God’s wisdom walkin all amongst these hollow men
I’m a king, I dare to lead when they just follow men
I see a better way, I’m keeping my eyes on the sparrow

I’m exiting my Egypt, tell em wave goodbye to pharaoh
Mother told me before she left this earth that I was special
And because I’m special, they gon' make me suffer

Like they crucified Jesus right in front his mother
Suckas, but he arose on the third day
To save, you're here to give favor, let the church say

[Chorus: Netta Brielle]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Outro: Netta Brielle]
Jesus loves me
This I know
For the Bible tells me so
Yes, He loves me
This I know
For the Bible tells me so

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
