99 and 1/2 lyrics

Well, I'm runnin'
I'm tryin' to make a hundred
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do
I'm runnin', runnin' for freedom, y'all
'Cause ninety-nine and a half just won't do
Now, if your God won't help you
You better try mine
My God is a freedom God
He'll make a way for you
In a weary land
He'll give you rest
When you're tired
Protect you on a danger zone
He'll guide you down a rugged road
And bring you out on the bright side

(Lord, I'm running)
I'm runnin'
(Trying to make a hundred)
Tryin' to make a hundred
(Ninety-nine)
Ninety-nine
(and a half)
And a half, it just won't do
It's a rough and uphill journey
Lord, I'm tryin to make a hundred
(Trying to make a hundred)
Ninety-nine and a half, it won't do, no, no
Down in Mississippi
(It just won't do)
Brothers in jail
(Woo, it just won't do)
Uneducated children
(Ooh, it just won't do)
It's the 21st century
(Ooh, it just won't do)
It feels like it's 1960
(Ooh, it just won't do)
Broken levees
(Ooh, it just won't do)
Lyin' politicians
(Ooh, it just won't do)
Runnin' through hatred
(Woo, it just won't do)
Homeless babies
(Ooh, it just won't do)
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom!
(Lord, I'm runnin')
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
(Lord, I'm runnin')
I'm tryin' to make a hundred
(Tryin' to make a hundred)
'Cause ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half) just won't do
Aha, my God's a freedom God
My God is a peaceful God
He's a livin' God
And He's a merciful God
He has a kingdom, you know
And a city called Heaven
Twelve gates to that city
Twenty-four elders in the city
Forty-eight angels in the city
The streets are paved with gold
Have you heard of a city?
And don't you wanna go?
The address is 100, I gotta make a hundred
You see, I got ninety-nine and a half
But it just ain't quite enough
I wanna go to that city
City called Heaven
No more cryin', no more hatred
Always howdy, howdy, howdy
And never goodbye
Oh, that city
Come on, don't you wanna go?
I tell ya, the address is one hundred, one hundred, one hundred
See, ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
No, no, no, no, no
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
I'm here to tell ya that ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half)
Ninety-nine (ninety-nine) and a half (and a half), it just won't do
I can't use it
