Boi-1da - Turn It Up lyrics

[Verse 1] My first birthday was '79, my first worse day: when daddy he died Church on Sunday and you know I would hide, momma dragged me I would put up a fight Let's go back to the day when the schools would pray, when you were safe, no guns and rage We played songs from M.J., Heal The World and ate great I got to say hey, things sure have changed, but uh [Chorus] (x2) So turn it up and sing this song a little louder Shout it out like you got the power We've only just begun to live We all need love so let us give [Verse 2] Well I can tell ye what you want love But won't like the outcome I'd rather be a falcon flying over mountains Drowning out the voices still doubting Shouting out to God for a nation through was founded People wanna steal, k**, destroy, try to fill a void I wanna bring the joy like playing with toys Joy still comes in the morning, good morning Fear still comes to bring torment, torment? I bet your bottom dollar you can still win tomorrow And maybe the cup could still be won by Toronto I heard Jesus Christ was a tough act to follow And that we all die is a tough pill to swallow We can say forget it and never go check it You can write a letter but still never send it Citizens living in fear come on now Let this light manifest sing it out loud [Chorus] (x2) So turn it up and sing this song a little louder Shout it out like you got the power We've only just begun to live We all need love so let us give [Verse 3] You can go this way, that way, or that way U-turn, to learn, we all got a have faith Mayday were going down (down) No we're not, man were trying to figure it out About 2000 and something we'll all be wondering: "Have we moved to Mars, and is the kingdom still coming in?" Music is the voice of the people, the mind is a muscle To fight against evil work it out! [Chorus] (x5) [Outro] In the city, in your nation, in your country Most of all in your heart, y'all That's where it all begins Turn it up, one love
