One of my favorite songs right now is by an artist named Struggle Jennings. He has had several popular songs, with “God We Need You Now” being the most popular and one of my absolute all-time favorites.
Who is Struggle Jennings:
Struggle Jennings is an American rapper and songwriter known for blending Southern rock, country, and hip-hop. Born William Harness in Nashville, Tennessee, he is the grandson of country music legend Waylon Jennings and the nephew of Shooter Jennings. Struggle rose to fame through his gritty, autobiographical lyrics that often reflect themes of hardship, addiction, redemption, and resilience. After serving time in prison, he relaunched his music career with a focus on personal transformation and independence, often collaborating with other artists like Jelly Roll and his daughter, Brianna Harness. He’s also a key figure in the underground country rap movement.
Below are the lyrics to his hit song, “God We Need You Now” which describes our country’s current situation pretty well. You can check out the lyrics, and if so desire, I posted the video below the lyrics. I realize his music style isn’t for everyone. Read the lyrics or liten. Up to you.
God We Need You
The world gettin’ crazy, baby chill
Don’t medicate, just meditate
You waking up now, well babe, you hella late
Educate, look at what’s goin’ on and let it resonate
Accelerate, find your inner hunger like you never ate
Agenda is to push the hate, separate and segregate
Don’t celebrate quite yet, the storm is coming, cue for heaven’s sake
Violence that they demonstrate instigate and penetrate
The values of our country and our God is what they desecrate
My fighters ain’t no featherweight
Pullin’ out the seams of the fabric that they fabricate
They feed us lies, manipulate
Intimidate through fear and force, forcin’ us to sit and wait
‘Til we come together, congregate and then we liberate
Prayin’ that you give me strength to find some love amongst the hate
Marchin’ on theses streets of blood ’til I see the golden gates
Troubadour of troubled souls, one of God’s servants
Blades out, cut the grass ’til we see the serpents
oh, one day I hope you see the truth
This puppet show stays on because of you fools (ooh)
We’ve been dancin’ with the devil way too long
I know it’s fun but get ready to pay your dues (ooh)
Oh God, come back home
This crazy world is filled with liars and abusers (ooh)
We need you now before we’re too far gone
I hope one day they finally see the truth (ooh)
God, we need you now (ooh)
I know the truth is hard to swallow, just digest it
Suspected something’s going on but chose to just neglect it
Deflected by some breakin’ news, oh we just accept it
Expected just to fall in line and follow their perspective
Don’t question their objective but I gotta lot of questions
How these kids molested but nobody’s been arrested
Read it in the Testament these children are protected
So I’m fighting all these terrorist both foreign and domestic
Refuse to be directed, a lion not a sheep
Only kneel to my God, so I’m dying on my feet
Silence when we speak but there violence in the streets
I’ve been rollin’ with the punches, I can’t take it on the cheek
Drink from a glass half full, I’m optimistic
People are sadistic, so vicious and malicious
Prayin’ for assistance to overcome opposition
Or I’m gonna start resistin’ and then I’ll pray for forgiveness
Oh, one day I hope you see the truth
This puppet show stays on because of you fools (ooh)
We’ve been dancin’ with the devil way too long
I know it’s fun but get ready to pay your dues (ooh)
Oh God, come back home
This crazy world is filled with liars and abusers (ooh)
We need you now before we’re too far gone
I hope one day they finally see the truth (ooh)
God, we need you now (ooh)
We need you now (now, now, now, now)
We need you now (ooh)
We need you now (now, now, now, now)
We need you now (ooh)
We need you now (now, now, now, now)
One day, one day, one day
Oh, one day I hope you see the truth
This puppet show stays on because of you fools (ooh)
We’ve been dancin’ with the devil way too long
I know it’s fun but get ready to pay your dues (ooh)
Oh God, come back home
This crazy world is filled with liars and abusers (ooh)
We need you now before we’re too far gone
I hope one day they finally see the truth (ooh)
God, we need you now
Love this song – I’m right there with ya !!!!!!
