Everybody, everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your sould be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so...
Let's get this party startedEverybody, everybody in the place to be
Open up your mind and let your sould be free
I can feel the Most High shining on me, so...
Let's get this party startedBlind-sided by the blitz
Come on baby it's on
I couldn't wait to get on this
You ain't no quiet the storm
I'm gonna tell it like it is
Tere ain't no stopping us now
Somebody shut me up so I can live out loudThem people thought I was gone
It's been a long time comin'
But straight out the box
We got the dark side runnin'
So Father, Most High won't You show Yourself
And shine on this record like nobody else

Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
Who had only one reason to be hated by whitey
Raised on a farm outside of South Bend
Where they hated on him cause he was African American
But three years later, Mikey was the town pride
Basketball Mikey went and got himself a bull ride
Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor
And that's something white America could never ignoreStop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' downWhat's goin' down tell me what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down
What's goin' down tell me what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' downTake a look around
Everything is comin' down
Do you hear the subtle sounds
Of our mortality slippin'
People on the go
We'll be reapin' what we sow
Yeah we say we want to know
But I got my suspicionsWelcome to the world of a girl name Susie
Susie's only crime was that she was born a cutie
Physically abused by her uncle and his friends
Alcohol let 'em all leve the house with grins
But Susie couldn't shake off the memories
Forced to find her own kind of remedy
A man-eater for the rest of her days
Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade
What is goin' diggy down When you find what you lost
But you lose what you found

Hush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight.
Hush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer.Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen
Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene
Quit school you had to drop out to raise yourlittle child
Doesn't seem to be anyone around
You got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden
Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer
Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes
Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids
Don't waste your sorrows
They'll give you strength tomorrow
Your Calvary's about to come so
Keep your head up, don't you ever let up
This storm will pass you be ready fot the next oneHey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders
Don't say that it's over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I'll be there so don't you fearHush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight.
Hush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer.Irene I carries you when you was too weak to walk
I took to you when you gave your heart to God
Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you
Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move
You have dreams and aspirations
I knew you before creation
Your foundation's solid
I will give you a palace, restore your soul
You'll be up for any challenge
many storms are on the way, better sharpen up your faith
Count the cost, take up your cross
And wear it every day
Rest in me and I will give you strength
Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my faceHush little baby don't you cry,
Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight.

Yo, turn me up in my microphone so I can Bless God's people. You know Kirk Franklin
and Toby Mac on this gospel train. Now tell me you wanna ride BABY! BABAA!

I got a ticket, I got a ticket

(I gotta a ticket to ride to the other side)
I got a ticket, I got a ticket

Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train
Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train

Sit back, relax put on your travelin' gear
No need to doubt so put aside your fear
Destination, out of this atmosphere
It's the J-Train baby, we depart from right here

No lines to fight no ticket to price
I'm rollin' first class 'cause I've seen the light
Try as you may but your money can't buy
A ticket on the J-Line to the other side

I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
(I gotta a ticket to ride to the other side)

Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train
Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train

Now I missed the Train more than once in my life
Til' the good conductor heard my Momma's cry
Hades to Glory in the blink of an eye
Hear me now, hear me now while I testify

Heard the whistle blow I felt a chill to the bone
All aboard is what I heard it I was headed for home
Had a reclinable seat but I just had to stand
Up on the, "J" all the way to the promise land

I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
(I gotta a ticket to ride to the other side)

Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train
Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train

Do you wanna ride say
To the other side say
If you wanna ride say
Get on the freak-line

I got a ticket, I got a ticket
I got a ticket to ride
I got a, I got a
I got a, I got a
I got a, I got a

Do you know
Where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you knowThis goes out to my man his name is True Blue
For all the nights that your daddy spent away from you
For all the days that I told you

Somebody said you better let go
'Cause they said so
But I could never let this thing go
Don't they even know what that meansThey call me obscene
Say I wear my faith on my sleeve
But I ain't here to seek no glory
End of story, I know the judge and the jury
People always wanna ask who, what, when, where and why
But never wanna step to the light
So I hear you wanna come and get some
Should I mention I got your attention
Know that I'm a man on a mission
My position is MOMENTUM
Been on a roll for 2000 years or so
We got momentum baby
Been on a roll for 2000 years or so
We got, we got momentumLivin' on the end of obnoxious
They call me raucous
I'm a freak, I can't stop this
Ardently enthused about God
No hand-me-down nod
You gonna get all I got
High-steppin from the twenty on in
Knees to my chin
I'm rollin' deep in momentum
Burnin' with the hardcore flame
No shame in this game
I'm followin' my heart not my brainWell we been on a roll
Cause we got souls that won't die
And this party ain't over til we take the flight
You've been told that we come bold on this side
You ain't never known the dilly til we testify
Cause have you ever heard of turnin water into wine
And have you ever heard of givin sight back to the blind
It's undeniable, I'm droppin the Truth on this track
Cause once you start an avalanche there ain't no turnin back

Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
I'm 'bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
I'm out of control, need you to fill my soul up
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
My past is taking me to task
And I can't guarantee how much longer I'll last
Without You I'm a hopeless wreck
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deckDon't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me startedI'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So won't you take this space between us and fill it up again
Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin' on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go
Bullseye to the center of my soul
One shot but it rocked like a fatal blow
This love was Your gun, mercy Your shells
Now I'm a dead man walkin' down a skinny trailI'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
So you can take your best shot
I'm gonna shout it from the rooftops
Give it all I got
Shout it from the rooftops
Like it or notI'm a dead man walkin'
I'm a dead man walkin' down the boulevard

I've played in LA, and D.C., Manhattan, and Sydney
And Kingston, Jamaica where me Mandy was made
It's 98 degress in the straight-up shade
I say I'm stickin' with her for the rest of my given daysSomebody told me that you're takin' a break
A sabbatical from rhymin' on the records that you made
A little birdie said that wasn't the case
They blamed your exodus on

Suggestions, questions
People want to know
Is there life after talk
Cause there's talk on the road
Twistin' words that I've never even said
To the ones that I trust on my ???
Or my "Boo" in our bed
Will he make it, man I bet he won't
As they're runnin' through the minutes
On their cell phones
So the pictures painted
You got the point
And that junk's creepin' into my solo jointSometimes I feel God in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlightI always feel like somebody's watching me
Watch baby, watch baby, He got my back
See I'm down with the King
So I got it like thatIt's no joke, I've been roped in
Chokin' on a bone
From a fish in the school of your twilight zone
You s me, took me to me to another place
Where the air I'm breathin's like mace in my face
If this controversy is your way
You need to know I'll never doubt my destiny
'Cause I'm stickin' to my guns lika a
Son of the Light
Feelin' Dad, I'm feelin' Daddy in the air tonightSometimes I feel Grace in the middle of the night
In the cool of the shade in the bright sunlight
Sometimes I feel God in the midst of a show
As the palm trees sway in an afterglowI always feel like somebody's watching me
Watch baby, watch baby He got my back
See I'm down with the king so I got it like that
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Watch baby, watch baby He got my back
See I'm down with the king so I got it like that

(Anyways I told the guy, 'Nice coat! Who shot the cow?!')(laughter)
(Hey how ya doin today?)I'm doin okay.(Eh, that's dandy. Hey, what can I get for ya?)I would like a triple skinny, two-thirds decaf, half chocolate, no whip-(Hey-uh, hold up here,
lemme break out the pen here,
we got kinda a tall order goin on)I would like a triple skinny,
two-thirds decaf,
half chocolate no whip Grande Mocha.Oh yeah, extra foam.
To go-o-o.

I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momentoug-uhThen cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can't leave the party til you drop your crucial info
But Am I jaded in assuming that you're simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who's message ain't so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down
But if they taste the love you tasted
They'd be making sweeter sounds,

Comin' at ya like a whirlwind
A hundred miles an hour's where we'll begin
I spy the eye of apprehension
Show me risk and you'll get my attentionCome on, can you take it
Bang to the bip; I make ya wanna flip
Take my trip and you can bust your lipI never fear 'cause I live fearless
Don't even think for a second you can get with thisCome on, I never fake it, come on
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme daysI'm a freak from the birds of the chocolate city
Luther Jackson was my middle
Pine Ridge my elementary
School of hip hop 1979
And Sugar Hill had the skills that taught me to rhymeGot hip to Kiss and I tripped on Zeppelin
So Mr. Therapist-Why did I go this direction
God had a plan to end all my schemes
I had a dream He said to be...extremeCome on, I never fake it, come on
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
These are extreme, extreme days
We're livin' in extreme days
Just the other day I saw a kid
Who flipped his hat to the back and he called it a lid
You know what else he did?
He stacked books from the floor to ceiling
Said somethin' bout trying to get to heaven
He was only eleven
So he climbed to the top with outstretched arms
And he screamed at the top of his lungsMove out of my way
Give up the mic
X to me is extremely Christ
Livin up in me
Like it or not
Put an X on my chest
Cuz X marks the spot

Doo, doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo
There in the airI had a dream last night about the other side
And I must confess that it was quite the ride
I had a dream last night and the fact that you weren't there
Gave me quite the scare (Uh-huh)
You see people were afloat all around me
Yet their weightless state never seemed to astound me
Everything was grand till I noticed one thing
That you my friend weren't on the sceneDoo, doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo
There in the airI've been working all morning trying to spin my dream
Cuz I just can't believe you weren't in my dream
Remember you and I said we would paint the sky
And the leaves on the trees and the stars at night
We made beats and we even wrote rhymes
And played golf I think a million times
Now we never got around to spiritual matters
But we sure made time for our mindless chatterDoo, doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo
Whether here, there or in the airI wanna see you there in the air (See you there, see you there)
One day we'll we be singin' (Singin) (Alleluia)
I wanna see you there in the air (See you there, see you there)
One day we'll we be singin' (Singin) (Alleluia)
Phone dialing(other guy) Hello?
(toby) Wassup?
Wassup?
How you doin'?
Just fine!
I was sort of wondering, could we make the time?
Just to kick it?
Why not? At our usual spot
Lattes in May
Mine cold yours hot
So where we goin?
What's deeper than our usual chat
Like whose beats is weak and whose (both) beats is phat
(toby) Nah my man it's a next level jump
Like when we discussed if Tiger Woods could dunk?
Just meet me there, seven o'clock-a
