Welcome To Diverse City lyrics

-Yeah, we bout to do this
-Drop the beat Sivo
Uh ah bringin it, uh ah
Uh, haven't been here in a long time
TRUDOG, I rock the mic for fun/ still lookin for my first homerun/ I thought I told ya son the name's TRUDOG/A Jesusfreak for real/ Don't need no trainin wheels/ I thought you knew the deal/ The name's TRUDOOOOG!
Whatcha want.....It's BURNING up!
Tru dat...fo shizzle

God's in the spot you can like it or not
So rip the knob off the volume when you give this a shot
And raise your hands as the slam starts to thicken the plot
Openin' eyes to the lies of the enemies' lot
So run like the wind from the sin of your past
Keep your eyes on the prize when they put you on blast
It's the Christ on the cross, it's humanity's shot

I told the girl that you should treat her like a lady and
She told me all the things you did and it was shady, man
She said that what you say and what you do are different things
While you were telling me that you were checking out them blingy rings
She said she's had enough
Well, it sounds to me like you're straight out of luck
And she said she's all through

One Phenomenon, one phenomenon
And it just can't be stopped y'all

We rock forever, we stop whenever
We rock forever, we stop whenever
We die whenever, we live forever
It's a phenomenon that can't be stopped
Forever, we stop whenever
We rock forever, we stop whenever
We die whenever, we live forever (2nd/4th/6th time: together)
It's a phenomenon that can't be stopped now

Hey now, I feel a new one comin' on so that you can sing along with it
Right now and I'm gonna dedicate this song to everyone of God's children
Hey now, one love, one God out of many his people
Right now it's been a long time comin' but I'm serving up the sequel
Back from the day, I'm the sleeper done slumbering
Pass me the mic and I might stop mumbling

Slackin' off like a bum, I'm feelin' ho hum
I'm feelin' luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We had that fire like we was boilin' in a pot

Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, I'm feelin' for a flicker
Then we'll all fan the flame up into something bigger

They call us Diverse City, we're colorful good
It's like a freak show in your neighborhood
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show's leaving the ground
Up, up and away, baby we don't play, maybe you thought you was done for the day
He said, she said, I said this, that you can't get away from your moment of bliss

Fresh air, (sigh),
Is what I needed
I ventured through my door
Proceeded
Into the streets of this place
I had to lower my shades to shade my face
Still squinting from the glare
What I saw was unfortunately rare
I rolled upon a variety
The sight that moved my heart
Deep inside of me
I head some cats rockin mics
Saw mad stunts on BMX bikes
Sons and daughters
Standing for their rights

[Toby:] Yeah, hello
[Reply:] Yo Tob, what's up?
[Toby:] A whole lot
[Reply:] What you doing?
[Toby:] Hangin' with Truett, tryin' to make music, hustlin' Gotee, I'm getting no sleep -
Yo, uh, you mind if I call you back next week
I gotta go, I'm 'bout to do a show
Can't take the stress wanna give you my best, Lord
I can't sing with this hanging over me

Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, and you
Illuminati comin' thru
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, and you
Illluminati comin' thru

Flow like the Cassius, swing like the Clay
One day, I'm'a make the whole world pay
With k.o.'s and ok we bash clots-n-dot-dash
You got that right, I'm'a rock the Morse code tonight
Transmit 'n throwin' fits 'n paparazzi like zits

Yo, its me, Tobymac and I dont meanto trouble you
Im feelin fresher than a night at the W
You probably sayin you be hearin quite enough of you
With God and your rhymes and that freaky Jesus stuff you do
Like always pushin for that racial diversity
Leave us alone were at home in our fantasies
I know a guy who knows a guy who has brown skin
What in his wallet it so happens Im around him

I'm a brand new man, I'm a conscious man
I'm a man who's burnin' for you
The mistakes I've made have been chased away to the bottom of the ocean blue
I'm a brand new man in a foreign land, I'm a man who's feelin' that fire
And it's all so clear when I'm standing here at the peak of my desire
So won't you move me like you used to
I want the world to know I burn for you

I'm staring unaware cause I'm in the zone
It moves in like a fog on a seaside road
Paralyzed by the signs and the deafening tone
I'm on a lock like a jock with a broken bone
I can see the real game and I want to get in it
I can read your headline and I am dying to spin it
Man down in the clutches of his own desire
I got to find the kind of speed that will put out a fire

I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional

Slackin' off like a bum, I'm feelin' ho hum
I'm feelin' luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we're not
We had that fire like we was boilin' in a pot
Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, I'm feelin' for a flicker
Then we'll fan the flame up into something bigger

We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares
Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
I never knew that it would feel like this

I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
