(Chorus)
Give me that funk,
that funky rhythm that you want,
give me that beat that makes you get up on your feet,
give me that melody,
melody you can sing with me,
don't be shy just keep it live

(Post Chorus)
Just a little bit,
a little bit of rhythm when I'm not in time,
just a little bit,
I can never get enough turn it up ‘cause it feels so

Finally we all agree,
music brings us together like a family.
And every note (uh oh uh oh)
is like an antidote
to all the heavy situations we're facing call up your station say.

Hey now! Give me your attention cause I got something to mention to you
right now! About a young boy whose a preacher son and his world was turned
upside down! When he heard the needle drop and heard the sound of the music Playin
Rhythm and blues filled every room in the house!
Music then became my medicine
To heal the world I became a musician
Started giving out my own prescriptions
Group 1 crew your personal physicians
We came to change your condition

You had it all planned out,
you and him together in a big white house
happy ever afters all you dreamed about
nothing could be better cuz,

you knew that you could make it through any weather but,
things changed when he moved away,
you were all by yourself through the lonely days,
all you could do was pray,

then the phone call came (I think we're heading separate ways) your heart stopped,
and you dropped to your knees god why,
is all this happening to me I,
understand everything's not perfect but you're there through the worst of it,
and lord I hear you say

(Chorus)
Tonight let every tear you cry and everything wrong inside,
bring you to me and I will be your lullaby
cause even in the hardest times you only need to realize,
what you mean to me so let me be your lullaby

I knew a boy from the Southside,
him and his friend were inseparable,
hung out all day watched football games wherever one went the other would go,
but one night he got a phone call,
something happened that brought tears to his face.

There was an accident we tried to save your friend but it was too late

Why is all this happening,
I just lost my only friend,
I need to know I'm not alone,
I can hear you gently whisper

(CHORUS)

They say if life gives you lemons make lemonade,
bitter sweet is the tune it likes to play were all instruments played
on a different day like a symphony like a symphony,
we're born married into life and there's no divorce,
sometimes we're powerless to change the course and the innocent pay the cost
we all mourn the loss,
we all mourn the loss

(Opening)
Thy kingdom come
let your will be done
on Earth as it is in Heaven

(Verse 1)
They say we're all in the pursuit of happiness
(a life so fabulous)
So we fight for what's ours like an activist
The struggles here we can find across the atlas
And it all started when Adam gave up his own palace
Now the earth waits for its rightful owner
2000 years ago the second Adam told us
The kingdom is at hand
Died for the sins of man
Just so He can bring us back to its original plan
Well we rule over the land (yea)
And meet every demand (yea)
And nature awaits for us keys to take a stand
but we need to understand (yea)
that we can change the circumstances (yea)
The kingdom is in us so we choose when to advance

(Chorus)
You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head it's only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
Everybody's singin' now
(everybody's singin' now)
You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head its only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the son
Everybody's singing now
(everybody's singin' now)
ohhhhhh
whooaaaaa

(Verse 2)
I heard this thing that You would die for me
Gladly gave Your life for me
Cry for me
All so I can call you when I'm so in need
The promises You'd spoken
My heart was always broken
'Cause you gave the keys to life
But in my pride I had them stolen
They say You still redeem us
Bring us to a place where we can see the keys can never be stolen
They just misplaced
So we rise from the ashes
Stand before the masses
Proclaim the victory
You solved and so we
(never give up)
Keep the good times
Get hard to understand
(it's never enough)
For us to sit back and hope He has a plan
(we have to stand up)
And face the cold with a boldness that is focused on the fact
We got the keys so just believe there's nothin closed
yeaaa

(Chorus 2)
And it's all because
You got the keys inside this kingdom (you got the keys)
Lift up your head it's only begun (it's only begun)
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
Everybody's singin now
(everybody's singin' now)
You got the keys inside this kingdom (you got the keys)
Lift up your head it's only begun (it's only begun)
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son (yeaah)
Everybody's singing now
(everybody's singin' now)

(Bridge)
You got the keys now
You ain't never given up on us
We ain't never given up the keys no
We ain't never no
We ain't never no

So many promises You gave (you gave, you gave, you gave)
And we just turned and walked away
But now I see the price you paid (price you paid)
Was enough for us to live victorious

yea
yea
yea
yea
victorious
yea
yea
yea
yea

(Chorus/Reprise)
You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head it's only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
Everybody's singin' now
(everybody's singin' now)
You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head it's only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
everybody's singing now
(everybody's singin' now)

You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head it's only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
Everybody's singin' now
(everybody's singin' now)
You got the keys inside this kingdom
Lift up your head it's only begun
Keep holding on and you'll see the Son
everybody's singing now

Lord can you forgive me for
the way that i have been
Bring this heart around to where it all began
I've been to blind to see the signs that you keep sending
So I'm ready, no more pretending.

(Chorus)
Take my life, I need you now
Draw me closer draw me closer
I'm on my knees, I'm crying out
Draw me closer I want to be closer to you

I've traveled down so many roads that only brought me pain
And with every bridge I burned you could've turned away
But you never let me go your love is so incredible
So let it over flow

Cuz I'm too far, too far away God, You are You are the Way
I'm too far, too far away so I'm hanging on every single word You say
Oh Lord, I wanna be closer, take me over, take me over

Ladies and gentlemen The sound is fresh Out with the old In with the newest No plan b
So we here in the flesh Call your neighbor up Cause you rockin with the best yes!
G-R-OUP O-N-E C to the R to the E- double “V”,
Could it be We got the world chasin a dream Could it be
They callin us modern Luther Kings A team of 3 cats And a king A tale unfolds
While the whole world is watching Word on the street is We the Fugees with a swing
The compliment is nice, but we rep the trinity This is a man who walks free
He gave me the keys I free'd slavery I spit a mean flow So yall can feel me And
I bring liberty So yall can feel he!!

(Chorus)
shut the door man come on in,
there's a new thing about to begin,
bring the party to life,
we see them dead get the oxygen
there's a new thing about to begin,
bring the party to life

How ya doin man, I'm about to ruin any group 1 opinion that you might have had,
see we the soul train part of this game and no fame is gonna make us change (that's right),
what it been like, we done traveled the world and havn't seen nothing better than Christ (sho you right)
this aint cocky you watch me while I watch he who bought me like I was eBayed and not cheap,
so its only right that I let this microphone become part of my bones while I give it life,
what you're hearing is an exhale god breathes and I receive flow so you can't tell,
who this be when we ride this beat we 3 deep in the front seat with destiny,
make no mistake homy we goin reap
what sown new rights to homes while god makes us right at home

I hit the spot 8 oclock I be rockin it,
keep it live when I arrive aint no stopping it,
hit the dance floor breaking, poppin, lockin' it, like a rolex everybody's watching this,
never knew Christ could be so marvelous we the crew that you can't forget we own this,
so get your shoes on and you're lookin right everybody in the spot bring the party to life

I felt your spirit hit me as I walked in the room
My heart was vexed, what happened next
I felt so, so consumed,
With every word you spoke to me
I gave no reply,
Cause I knew you wanted to save me
But I wouldn't comply,
But you still tried,
I'm glad you did cause now I can't wait to spend
My whole life within your arms,
A savior who has loved me more than
I could ever ask or even receive,
You caught my eye when I learned
that you died for me

(Chorus)
I can't explain it, the lovely things that you do,
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
It's so contagious, you got me feeling so cool,
Don't pass me by, wanna make eye contact with you
~
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
~
You stunned my vision
I see things a bit more different, different now
Had a head on collision
With fate and I don't know, know how
You changed my world made me your home
And no one else is allowed
To enter cause you alone inside
Makes it a full, full house
No need for a deck of cards
Everything I need you are
You're my bright and shining star
Lets spend forever together
Remember when you were far
Loved me with a broken heart
But since we've made contact
Our eyes have never been apart
~
(Chorus)
I can't explain it, the lovely things that you do,
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
It's so contagious, you got me feeling so cool,
Don't pass me by, wanna make eye contact with you
~
Don't pass me by, wanna make eye contact with you
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
~
(Bridge)
It's not enough for me to see you in someone else,
I need to know your voice and see you for myself,
My God you've done so much in me I just can't look back,
I wanna see you face to face and make eye contact
~
Let's, let's go
Oh Lord I wanna make
I wanna make eye contact with you
Oh Lord I wanna make
I wanna make eye contact with you
I… wanna make eye contact with you
With you, with you
~
(Chorus)
I can't explain it, the lovely things that you do,
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
It's so contagious, you got me feeling so cool,
Don't pass me by, wanna make eye contact with you
~
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,
Whatever it takes, gotta make eye contact with you,

I see you when I'm staring in my coffee cup,
or when I'm downtown as I wait for the bus
I see you,oh how I see you,
oh on the lonely nights as I stare at the stars
and how the trees blow when I walk through the park
oh I see you, oh how I see you

I see you in my mind and every time I wake up,
reminds me of the time when I was trying to find love and I would,
try so hard to show you how good
I was but all I did was prove that it was never enough
cause you love me like I was your sweet buttercup,
and

I'm addicted to the way that you would never give up,
I see us on the cover of our own magazine
we'll call “life in the arms of a king”
and we would talk about everything and anything,
and anytime that you would ring my heart would sing

so I had to pick up,
I'm glad that it was you on the line cause you,
got me got me out of my mind

(Chorus)
I've seen the highs, I've seen the lows,
but where I'm going is a question that I'll never know,
but what I know is that you'll always be there for me
that's why I see you in everything

Good friends they come, good friends they go,
its just a product of this crazy world and how it goes,
what doesn't change is that you'll always be there for me
that's why I see you in everything

your energy molded to take its natural form tangibly
known through a song makes a heart feel at home,
a quiet whisper through the breeze in the trees
is how you let it be shown so I can capitalize on every moment that is born,

my life has been better since I've read your love letters stress has gotten
light like feathers and your genuine like leather,
you made this man walk on a different level my past is settled

I'm attached like Pinocchio and gapetto,
a masterpiece composed the greatest story ever told,
there hasn't been a better headline published in the post,
I wont go any where your love wont go
I've been told if it ain't broke leave it alone

you got me falling got me falling for your love,
and now I wondering if I'll ever get enough,
ain't no sunshine ain't no sunshine
when you're not on my mind,
its so amazing how you're making me feel
when I see you I know that its real

I turn the TV on,
can't stand what's goin' wrong,
so many people lost and they're trying to find their way back home,
what's going on cause we need solutions must wake up cause we're so confused

we got kids selling drugs,
girls needing love,
always want more cause
there's never enough

(Chorus One)
This is a critical emergency so get up,
we gotta come together,
cause our brothers and sisters are in desperate need so get up,
shine the light and get up,
don't ever give up

We all have said it but we just don't get it people keep hurting

And we choose to forget it if you really want it lets do something about it cause you are the future and the future is now

(Chorus Two)
This is a critical emergency (get up) don't wait don't hesitate
Cause our brothers and sisters are in desperate need (so get up)
Shine the light and get up
Don't ever give up

(Bridge)
Father show us how to love
There's a world that needs your touch
Lead us to the river of new life

I had I dream I saw myself holding a microphone we traveled all around the world just steady rockin these shows, but now we're here and all I feel is there's so much more, our life was made to give away so here you go, here you go, its all for you
That's how we rock, its all for you, that's how we roll, its all for you, we gave it all so he could take control come on its all for you
That's how we rock, its all for you, that's how we roll, its all for you, we gave it all so he could take control come on

Up to bat first I disperse the ideology of girls being looked at like property we could be standing in a crowd but we still stand, I had a dream now I'm livin it out forget the clout I'm about, giving you my life for inspiration fighting for your soul with dedication forget being complacent our lives were made for so much more, grab my hand we walking straight through the door I had a I had a

I had a dream, that I would rock the mic in front of millions, my voice would echo off every building, building up an empire that through God would catch fire, and we would live the life that we desired, but soon after that a small part of me started crying, a little of my dream started dying and how could this be I thought that I was doing everything right, apparently he had much more for my life and that's when I fell asleep and had a new dream, saw things I've never seen, me adopted a baby girl and raise her as my little queen, own a label and sign a crew of soldiers that I'll raise to be business men so they could take over, and address our kings agenda, address any pretenders give you all I have willingly so you can enter, into a mind state that captivates this whole industry you're the new me my dreams alive when you believe

First time around We told the world we had a dream We in it now and obviously we still a team the dream was never to wanna achieve the green so we've taken the paper we seen and revised our theme yeah we want the top rock things that are hot but more importantly we wanna get you out the block yeah we all deserve the nicer things in life the rings are nice camera lights imagine if we took that and we all unite you wanna know why we rock these show its for the sole purpose of recruiting more people let me fill you in game plan
first I was the beat man then I spit sixteen just because I can
I didn't know music was a stepping stone that put me strategically
infront of those who would help my destiny and help me help those who have need a dream is just a starting point for a bigger goal

Checka, checka, mic, check, one, two,
Let me break it diggy down for you,
We don't think that we anybody cool
But, hey, we just do what we do,
God made us unique and so sweet
So we confidently re rep this beat,
Please don't mistake my swag for the vanity
Believe my faith runs too deep,
I got bananas not to draw attention
But to remind you where I come from,
X thug now I love more than some
Gi gi get one giving hugs when I'm done,
Give an autograph not b/c I'm a star
But cause a lil bit of nice goes far
You can love my style, love my car
And I'll show you how I love my God

(Chorus)
Turn it up! Live your life loud, bring the noise,
Turn it up! You're one of a kind, lift your voice,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now girls and boys,

Turn it up, till the speakers go thump, thump,
Turn it up! Everybody do what you want,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now, bring the funk,
Live out loud
~
Hey, hey, you were not meant to be,
be like anybody else
Cause He, He made you unique
It's a beautiful thing to follow your life's beats
~
Can't believe the way you made me
Came out so beautifully,
Everything you put inside me
It belongs there so naturally,
The world tried so hard to change me
Just to fit inside the mold,
But I'd rather be the wonder
That you made though I've been told
It's the way you move, the way you talk
That makes you who you are
But I'm not gonna let them change me
Into someone they want
Cause I've been made to shine
To change your mind
To question what they say is right
We all were made for something
That's so beyond our mind

(Chorus)
Turn it up! Live your life loud, bring the noise,
Turn it up! You're one of a kind, lift your voice,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now girls and boys,
Live out loud
Turn it up, till the speakers go thump, thump,
Turn it up! Everybody do what you want,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now, bring the funk,
Live out loud
~
Who would have thought I'd be on your TV
Rocking a m-u-l-l-e-t
3 Latinos, no, not family, but 3 amigos on the m-i-c
See I'm convinced and my hearts at ease
Since my God has predestined me
To be like all I can be like the army
I just stepped up and took it so gladly
Here's the interesting part to the story
Christ came and He bought us back for his glory
The same chances I got, you got it homey
Why you think I opened the door it wasn't for me
It's for my brothers and my sisters
That are caught up in the mixture
Your life is the bigger picture
Don't doubt that you're a star
Cause I've been made to shine
To change your mind
To question what they say is right
We all were made for something
That's so beyond our mind

(Chorus)
Turn it up! Live your life loud, bring the noise,
Turn it up! You're one of a kind, lift your voice,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now girls and boys,
Live out loud
Turn it up, till the speakers go thump, thump,
Turn it up! Everybody do what you want,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now, bring the funk,
Live out loud
~
Ya, uniqueness is your destination ya'll
And the world's been waiting for you to get there,
We all were made to be one of a kind, the genuine article,
Turn your life up
Turn it up! That's how we do it
Turn it up! Now's the time to live loud
Turn it up! We gotta bring it up ya'll
Turn it up! There's so much more for us
Turn it up! We just gotta realize it
Turn it up! Turn your life up
Live out loud!

(Chorus 2x)
Turn it up! Live your life loud, bring the noise,
Turn it up! You're one of a kind, lift your voice,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now girls and boys,
Live out loud
Turn it up, till the speakers go thump, thump,
Turn it up! Everybody do what you want,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now, bring the funk,
Live out loud

(End)
Turn it up! Live your life loud, bring the noise,
Turn it up! You're one of a kind, lift your voice,
Turn it up! Don't be shy now girls and boys,
Live out loud! Turn it up!

Woke up this morning, put on my make up
I didn't stop to think of what's going on
Outside my window a world is changing
I can't remember where it all went wrong

You see people crying and families hurting, a mamas praying that her baby comes home I see the future of a better place

(Chorus)
I wanna make, make this a place where we can forget all the problems of yesterday, lets make a change for a better today, let it begin with me make it reality I wanna change

I never believed that that that things will never change cuz whenever I look back back nothing has stayed the same except the fact that you have, given me all that I need to turn this world into a place that has the strength to believe

In need a better future
Lets be a part of the cure
Where unity can be the brush to paint a better picture
We need to plant a seed of
Something were all in need off
Through god we can make this world
Into something we only dream of

I used to be that little
boy who always fiddled
with good and bad lifes
a joke and I would play the riddle,
I used to play it off
the monkey in the middle,
fickle I was and did what tickled my fancy this kiddo was tryin to be a man,
but I couldn't understand in order
to live I had to put my flesh to rest,
so nighty night manny,
dream of grammys and mammy cookin' your favorite dish as you wish for cameos and
I know that my life is so much better now,
and it shows that I've grown
your grace it taught me how,
to make the best of this life
cause after all it's the only one
that I got so I'm glad I answered your call

(Bridge)
It doesn't matter where you're from it matters where you're at let me hear ya holla back, oh ya (x2)

You see my life hasn't always been a nice bouquet of roses, I remember when we had nothing I was left wishing and hoping, that there's more that can make me happy than the life that you see on TV, but you came and you showed me what it means to live life in the way it was meant to be


They say what goes around comes around in this merry go-round of life I've paid for my mistakes more then twice Unfortunate to have a fortune at younger life Sparked a light to want things that were nice So I spent my nights tapping on a beat machine I lost sleep so I wouldn't have to lose my dreams Chose Christ an forgot about what Pablo needs And Since then hes met all of pablos needs A better life than this is hard to believe I don't own a Bentley or a house in the keys I plant seeds in the garden of eternity So when the future comes my life will everything that it needs
