unknown

[here we go]

Yo ho ho, i'm good to go
Hypin' on the mic cause god said so
He said, "yo, go out and fish for men"
A genuine commission that put us in
To tell you about our savior and lord
So if you wonder what's up well, you're in store
For more than a happy, go-lucky tune
About christmas and how it's coming soon
This song will tell ya how it all began
And how man [oh man] seemed to change that plan
Know this to be true in black and white
God's word said so so you know that's right
It's christmas time

(chorus)
Yo! ho! ho! ho! [repeat 3x]
We're good to go
[repeat 2x]

A benz pulled up figured it was dis
So on twelve twenty-fifth give me all the gifts
I mean, each year christmas rolls around
For mucho gifts the t was down
[from] stereo, mixers, to microphones
I caused pops to take ridiculous loans
Until a few years back i attended a play
About christmas and it went this way:
People were illin' all across the land
It was tax season and the king had a plan
He sent all the people back to where they were born
For a census which i'm sure they adored
As we move down the line things start to get hairy
God chose joseph and a virgin named mary
By this time i was on the edge of my pew
But hold up i gotta break for a few

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
It's christmas time
And all the gifts i find
But true love is
Found in jesus christ
Gloria
[it ain't jingle bells, baby]

Mary was a virgin but laden with child
Yo doc! [yes?] ponder that for a while
They grabbed a couple of mules started across the land
Their destination was called bethlehem
Ya know, night had fallen they arrived in a fix
Cause every inn was full even motel 6 [word!]
They got it goin' on in the west side of town
It wasn't quite home but they had a bed down
On this very night she delivered a babe
It was a boy [god's son] comin' into the world to save
And unbind mankind from a serious debt
Called sin that god couldn't forget
Without sendin' his son as a gift to man
He lived to be thirty-three and then died
For the plan of salvation so the choice is yours
The true gift of christmas ain't found in stores

Yo, where's little drummer boy?

(repeat chorus)

Frankincense to offer, have i
And incense owned, a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
You can hear it pealing through the river and sky

(chorus)
We three kings of orient are
Bearing gifts we traveled so far
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Born a king on bethlehem's plain
Gold i bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Ooh, star of wonder
Star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Guide us to the light, father
Guide us to the light [repeat 2x]

(repeat verse 1)

(repeat chorus)

Now we step to a star in the sky
Gloria, now the whole earth cries
Allelu, allelu, the people cried
And brought gifts as a sacrifice
Three kings and a dream that they had
We're three brothers born of different dads
But together we ride because of that child
Until the day that we die

(repeat chorus)

[hello world]
[hello world]
[hello world]

When i die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When i lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

I'm goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where i'm gonna go when i die [when i die]
When i die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

[hello world]
[hello world]

So you know that when you die
It's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky

When you die and they lay you to rest

[i want to go]

[gotee remix for nine six]

Separated, i cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me i've divorced
I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause i had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'jesus saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause i won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this jesus freak

(repeat chorus)

People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks
Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek
For i wasn't the man that i am today
See i ran the games like tate manned his fade
Max was a factor in those early days
We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays
Until the word cut through us like a buck knife
And so deep, i'll be a freak for life

(repeat chorus)

What will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak
[what will people think?]
What will people do when they find that it's true
[what will people do?]
I don't really care if they label me a jesus freak
[what else can i say?]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[jesus is the way]
(repeat 2x)

What will people think?
I don't really care

Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

(chorus)
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready

(repeat chorus)

The father spoke, the demons dined
How could you have been so blind?

(repeat chorus 2x)

I hope we'll all be ready
You've been left behind [3x]
