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

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
Crowd: Joy!
Akeem: I am very happy to be here!
Joy! (oh)
Joy! Joy! (ahhh)
Joyyy!
Oh Joy!
Joyyy! Joyyy!
Oh Joy!
Joyyy! (ahhh)
Joyyy! (ahhh)
Oh Joyyy! Joyyy! Joyyy!
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
Joy! (oh)
Joy! Joy! (ahhh)
Joyyy!
Oh Joy!
Joyyy! Joyyy!
Oh Joy!
Joyyy! (ahhh)
Joyyy! (ahhh)
Oh Joyyy! Joyyy! Joyyy!
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
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
