Hallelujah Hustle

(mhhhhhhhh) You stood tall in your house of cards

Talking down like you held the keys

But the wind is shifting on this street-corner Now you're bending down

to your knees (tell it!)

Oh, the truth is a heavy hammer

It's coming down to break the clay (who you talking to?)

I'm calling the water to wash this clean (say it!) No room

for your pride, no room for your scheme (tell it!) We stand

in the light

where the shadows fall

Yeah, we're writing the truth right on the wall (ooh,

write it!)

You had the crowd in your open hand

But the tables turn with a quiet word (who you talking to?)

Now your silver tongue is just noise in the sand Yeah,

the sermon's over, didn't you hear?

We don't need your permission to rise (no we don't!) We see

the fire in your fading eyes (look at them!)

I'm calling the water

to wash this clean (say it!) No room for your pride,

no room for your scheme (tell it!) We stand in the light

where the shadows fall

Yeah, we're writing the truth right on the wall (ooh,

write it!)

Yeah,

write it on the wall

(tell it!) Walk on out the door
