Get Funky!

Who woulda guessed,
We'd be doin' it like this,
Scandalous,
For all the brothers who can't handle this,
Thousand Foot takin' up mad space,
Too much so that we could wipe out,
We got that classic touch,
Nothin' changed,
Still representing the same, boy,
You betcha,
The intellectual,
It's all about smooth texture,
We can be like wanna get it on quick,
Slick, When the riff hits yah,
Eardrum, and the word sticks,
Like think quick,
When in doubt who you goin to?
Who you owin' to,
On the other end,
Who's gonna be your friend?
Just a little something to think about, no doubt,
Thousand 'bout to let the rhime animal out
We be rockin' on till dawn and back again,
When you here the jam turn the volume back up to ten,
I love music and,
Can't imagine bein' here without it,
Turn it up so your neighbors all hear about it!

[Chorus]
Thousand Foot with the sound to move yah,
We got the rhythm that'll row right through yah,
Throw your hands up if the music soothes yah,
We rock on like a power booster
Thousand Foot with the sound to move yah,
We got the rhythm that'll run right through yah,
We raise the roof, never standin' still,
C'mon And make way, for the rhime animal.. [2x]

Well it's the second verse and,
No need for rehearsin',
I be the rhime animal,
Live and in person,
Wanna give a shout to all the real hip hoppers,
Who come to all of our shows, and represent proper,
Turning to those who understand what thousand foot do,
Cause it ain't entirely easy,
In this industry,
To pick up a mic and start rappin',
And put on guitar straps and start singing,
We'll be like, 'we're happy singin'
Yo we just can't get the hang of it,
Well it really is cause you can't understand the slang of it,
So what if a rock band was to throw in a few,
Ask a few, rascles jumpin' around,
Here's some finger snaps, said uh..
If you still don't get it man, Forget it,
By the time you accept us we'll be makin a new record,
It's all good tho,
It don't really matter,
The Krutch don't care,
We down for whatever

[Chorus]

Yo everybody swing,
Listen to the guitar sing, check it..

BREAK DOWN, COME ON!

[Chorus]

. . .


I saw this child who never smiled
I told him that's no way to live your life
I saw him kneel down on his knees
As he said please, please, please
It's as if I could see inside his mind
And it reminded me of mine
And it became clear that he belonged here
And he promised me he'd try

If only you could have been there,
With me and my brother John
We tried so hard not to carry on
But if we're so optimistic well that one he was around
Let me know if you see him around
Let me know if you see him downtown

I know there is something better than this
I know there is
There's gotta be
I know there is something better than this
I know there is
There's gotta be

I know there
Is a place where I can just hang out
With the friends who I brang out
We can have some laughs smile and drink and have a good time
With all the people we get
Who I could never forget
La la, la la la la la la
Lotsa things that I would like to say
To you in your troubled state
But it's so hard when you're so good at keeping it to yourself
And wait till the sun comes up in the morning
If you come back we'll find a place for you

. . .


I heard a place not too far from here
Is handing out answers
About why we are here
And it's a small town in a small world
And the congregation's small too
But somehow I think they're telling the truth

And in the same small town there is a girl
She's a good looker but she's mad at the world
And she's wondering about tomorrow and why she's here
She's sick and tired of using her sleeves to wipe her tears

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say [x5]

She sits alone
She's a re-run queen
The sun shines through her window
Enough to make out her figurine
The neighbours look at her strange
'Cos she's lived there her whole life
And they still don't know her name
She likes to keep to herself
'Cos she can't find nobody else

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah
That's what they say [x2]
And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah

What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
Nooo....

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

And her heart opens wide
And for the first time in her life
She feels the touch of Jesus deep inside
And oh, she wonders what went wrong
In a town where nothing's going on
And thinks of all the others that she knows

And she said [x9]
Wanna leave out her name [x7]
Nooo [x7]

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

. . .


In my temptation to walk away
And through the endless troubled days
There's a hundred million ways
For me to release Your praise
And by and by, through the tears
And things You've taught me through the years
My whole life was designed by You
I'll never know anyone half as true

Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up so You can see
Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up from inside of me
Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up so You can see
Lift it up, I lift it up

So I lift it
I lift it up to You
And I'll never forget the times that we've been through
So I lift it
I said I lift it up to You
And I surrender all of me
To You, to You, to You
Everything I'll ever be
To You, to You, to You
I surrender all of me

. . .


To all the people in the house tonite,
Can ya feel me?
To those who live under the street lights at night,
Can ya feel me?
Check this out,
We bout to set this off,
Here come the drums:

When I let loose,
I come out blazin',
I maintain mannin' all stations,
Fully prepared for all situations,
We blow tracks like shrapnel, with the rap skill,
Shoot to kill, not for thrills, I got an iron grip.
That's the sound we make, no mistake keep the floor warm,
From town to town and state to state,
And yo, we rock da set like an earthquake
Hold it tight too, and too, I just saw,
Strapped to my knife boots..
We bump tracks like a fifteens the flavors me,
And chill like light when it flows through my brain stream,
Ready to fit the script twice when I get nice,
Equally precise, hits you open like head lice,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now..

[bridge]
To all the people in the house tonight,
We're gonna keep on rockin' 'till the broad daylight,
So just listen to the sounds comin' through this mic,
We're gonna do this right, do this right. [x2]

[chorus]
Now set it off!!
Just set it off, right!
Set it off,
Just set it off, right! Come on!
Set it off,
We just set it off, right!
Set it off!
We just set off, right!
(Play this on yah radio)

Fire it up like NASA,
Rockin' it to ya'll, ghetto blaster,
You're quick we're faster,
We got the skills to out last ya,
My mentality stays open,
And if everything's cool,
I'm hopin',
To leave the microphone smokin'..
Hope your ready,
My whole team can rock steady,
Makin' noise with my boys,
And watchin' out for poison,
My main object is to stand for what I believe,
Maybe hear the sounds of the guillotine,

We drop, hit, electrify,
And to all the weak minded till the next in line,
Here we made it in our accord,
Ready to spawn,
Used to go on and on,
But now we just drop bombs,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now..

[bridge]

[chorus]

Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..

. . .


When the question never set before me
Can I feel it out once more
You are my full ambition
I walked on water
I'm sick of talking now

I want You by my side
So close that I can feel You breathing
I won't turn my head, be misguided
I need a breather

You take my breath away

Stay here just enough to catch me when I'm falling

You fill me up just like a big balloon of helium
Can't get enough I want some more come on and fill me up
When I'm with You there ain't no other place I'd rather be
I just open up and receive Him and He set me free

. . .


You were someone who I could talk to
If I wanted to
You're one of a kind
If one of a kind means
That you were the only one
And I really don't even think you see
All the things you've done for me
And I will never forget as long as I live

And even after I'm gone
'Cos then I'll be with you
You never left me alone
My sweet unknown
So sweet, you're so unknown
You could see right through me
Sweet unknown (x4)

You were someone who I could talk to
If I wanted to
You're one of a kind
If one of a kind means
That you are the only one
And I don't even think you see
All the things you've done for me
And I will never forget as long as I live

And even after I'm gone
'Cos then I'll be with you
You never left me alone
My sweet unknown
So sweet, you're so unknown
You could see right through me
Sweet unknown (x2)

You sent your angels to watch over me
And I feel them
I never wanted to be further away
From the length of your arms
Show and tell is caving in
These angry feelings from within
Hold me tight and don't let go of my hand
Promise me so (x3)

. . .


Back to attack like mortal combat,
Knockin 'em flat with contact,
On site, (passing others by strong direction),
We must evade this infection,
Thousand foot, got my back to protection,
Strong in every never-been-down road,
We never been off of it, can't get enough of it,
I'm out-spoken, in case ya didn't notice,
I'm all about telling lost souls that need to know this,
My sound's more (rap than the crib),
Me, myself and my team rocks through the Ford,
Like a 7/11, all day all night,
Our God we boast hard,
On the reel,
Represent my King and my God,
Got to get it get it,
Don't forget it,
Got the (curves) of a low B,
If ya let it,
That's the sound that's mean, extreme,
You trip with me and my team,
I'll show you what I mean.

I've been waiting so long,
To get where I'm going,
In the sunshine of Your love.

We back to bring it, and got the whole town swinging,
Off the vibes that'll make you realize when you listen to the,
We obviously not the record best,
You can give it days more than anyone waits to play it,
On this microphone I wanna make known,
There ain't nothing but weirdness in this vocal tone,
In the kid's car in the stereo,
Or in ya CD players, tape deck and home stereo,
Break down the system,
I shot once but I missed 'em,
You think I'm a freak, but you never listen,
You want plastic Thousand Foot so fast,
That Krutch the new made-for-plastic we everlasting,
So I turn the volume up to ten again,
Just to let 'em know,
We'll never let 'em in,
Break the mold when I explode into your eardrum,
If you want it come and get some.

I've been waiting so long,
To get where I'm going,
In the sunshine of Your love.

. . .


The hurt is washed away
But still here I am
In the middle of it all
With heavy hands
And I try so hard, yeah
Just to leave behind me
All the chains that bind me.

Won't back down
Won't turn my head around
Quick take a recess
Oops, take another breath
Guess who, whose you, better take another clue
Find out all about just don't doubt
Just don't doubt

And I won't be lost in
These watered down dreams
So 'round me you won't be caught up
In the moment of the day, yeah
I won't be lost in
These watered down dreams
So 'round me you won't be caught up
In the moment of the day, yeah, alright

The hurt is washed away
Still here I am
In the middle of it all
With heavy hands
And I try so hard, yeah
Just to leave behind me
All the chains that bind me

Won't back down
Won't turn my head around
Quick take a recess
Oops, take another breath
Guess who, whose you, better take another clue
Find out all about just don't doubt
Just don't doubt, c'mon

And I won't be lost in
These watered down dreams
So 'round me you won't be caught up
In the moment of the day, yeah
I won't be lost in
These watered down dreams
So 'round me you won't be caught up
In the moment of the day, yeah, alright

. . .


Don't you know that every song starts with and intro,
Quiet 'til the middle then it picks up and goes on

Loud enough to move the crowd

Four and it goes
