TURNIN UP
Verse:
Speaks is dead, I guess the ball is back to me
He fades to black, I don’ retract, it’s how it has to be
Church stole his heart and broke his spirit casually
Out know where like the satellite on Christmas Eve
Man, that pain was greater than a blindside hit
Penetrated, armor stabbed me in the back quick
You said you loved me like a song I used to laugh at
That statement up and down like the dow on wall street’s NASDAQ
Chorus:
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Verse 2:
I live in a world where the people so crazy
One day they love you, then rub you the wrong way
Intentionally try to come slay me
Out of my mind, I was so blind
Thought we was family, and ride till we die
Holiday season, share piece of the pie
Live in the house, where you chill and reside
It was a lie
All your plans for me was phony
Fed me this and that, bologna
Lost a few friends to you, the homies
Told me to leave you ‘lone,
Gon’ leave you ‘lone
Gon’ leave you ‘lone, and do me
I was dedicated to my duties
Knife goes deep while I was asleep
Told me to hit the road and don’t speak
But now I’m doin’ me, tom foolery
Mind on the world, and jewelry
Gotta find a job, I’m Ubering
No where to stay, don’t wanna pray
All that did was ruin me
I knock knock knock knock knock
Right on the door
You wasn’t answering
Day was callin, You ignored, I’m out!
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus:
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Verse 3:
Thought my purpose was tied to you
I was workin to raise our troops
Goin hard in everything I did
With the Lord, I try to reach these kids
Couldn’t sleep, too many thoughts in lid
All the things I did off the grid
It would-a blew your mind if you underbid
But if it wasn’t for me, that’s why I kept it hid
Keepin’ it hidden
Because it is written
What you do in secret is seen by the risen
one in the heavens that chose me
That put in me in a pastor position
I’m writing a song, not to prove that I’m right
But to demonstrate how you hurt body of Christ
And I’m raising alert for the people that’s tight
Am I wrong am I’m right
Bringing this to the light
Time will tell, time will show
Did this for me diary musical
Releasing this burden, not for me to hold
Growing for certain, searching for my role
In this shell that we call life
Don’t get me wrong, I shall love you despite
This is me manning up, call if you like
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus:
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Verse 4:
Don’t be a head that manipulate
Care for the people in any state
If you wanna have a good ministry
Make converts, don’t you baby feed
Don’t do things just to be seen
Church aint a business or machine
Can’t want people just to get rich
Have a nice bank account
And church edifice
Don’t talk about leaders to leaders
Gossip division breeders
Can’t make church priority
What about your fam,
I think that’s adultery
Can’t have vision without prayer
That’s like sayin’ we a team without players
Many feel the same way
But I have the heart to say it
Pre-Chorus:
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus:
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
Turnin Up, I’m turnin up
