[Verse 1] Before the bus stop Before the boardwalk Before the bakery opens its iron mouth Wisdom is out there On the corner of your habits On the ledge of your pride On the doorstep of the easy answer She is calling Not a rumor Not a riddle Not a pearl for the perfect She is loud with mercy She stands on the hill She leans over the fence She taps the window of your stubborn little room And says your name [Pre-Chorus] Holla Holla back, if you hear it Holla She’s been there all day Holla Every lane, every block Holla She won’t be silent [Chorus] Holla! Wisdom is hollering Holla! Can you hear her call? Holla! She’s calling your name Holla, holla! Don’t walk on by [Verse 2] At the fork in the speech At the split in the deal At the mouth of the lie with the silver teeth She raises her voice In the market of motives In the queue of your plans She shakes the dust off the map in your hands And says look here Not to shame you Not to chase you Not to break the reed But to save your feet When the night gets clever And the fool gets loud She keeps on cutting through the crowd Like a siren made of scripture [Pre-Chorus] Holla Holla back, if you hear it Holla She’s been there all day Holla Every lane, every block Holla She won’t be silent [Chorus] Holla! Wisdom is hollering Holla! Can you hear her call? Holla! She’s calling your name Holla, holla! Don’t walk on by [Bridge] And if I was sleepwalking She shook the floor If I was hard of hearing She got louder than before Not the flex Not the feast Not the fake crown in my fist Just the fear of the Lord And the turn back to Him [Final Chorus] Holla! Wisdom is hollering Holla! Can you hear her call? Holla! She’s calling your name Holla, holla! Run to the light Holla! Wisdom is hollering Holla! Open your eyes Holla! She’s calling your name Holla, holla! Don’t walk on by
