[what will people think
when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
what will people do
when they find that's it's true?]
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 2x)
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
(repeat chorus 2x)
What will people think
[What will people think]
What will people do
[What will people do]
I don't really care
[What else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[Jesus is the Way]
Jesus Freak (gotee remix)
[Gotee Remix...for '96]
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

I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak

I don't really care

There ain't no disguising the truth
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
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
Til' 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 do
When they find that it's true
I don't really care
If they label me a Jesus Freak
[What else can I say]
There ain't no disguising the truth

I Wish We'd All Been Ready
Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Your 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
There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind
Oh, yeah...
(instrumental)
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]
Jesus Is Just Alright (live)
(chorus 1)
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright
Toby Mac, and the Mac he's back no slack
On a DC track that's jacked, beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention that
There's a lack of recognition
When it comes to His position
'Cause if Christ can't be crossed over
Then I'll keep my beat up...
(chorus 2)
I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is still alright
Back in place, and I'm all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace
like a mother to her [child] child
I'm kickin' it Jesus [style] style
To the ones that think they [heard] heard
I did use the "J" [word] word
Cause I ain't to soft to say it
even if DJ's don't play it
Oh, you know I'm hopin' I don't fake it!
(repeat chorus 1)
(breakdown)
Everyone strike a pose
Toby, strike a pose
Jesus is alright
I know He's alright
Jesus is alright
You know He's alright
Jesus is alright [my Jesus is alright!]
We know He's alright
Jesus is alright [my Jesus is alright!]
We know He's alright
I'm down with the one that is known as the Son
Of the G to the O to the D never done
With the flow, in the know, on the go like a pro
Not for show 'cause I ain't in the biz for the dough
Or the me, or the ray, all the dough's gotta stay
Cause I can't, no I can't, take it home anyway
Never trite when I write 'cause the Lord is my light
and His Word is my bond so ya know, He's alright
(repeat choruses 1 and 2)
Oh, He's all, He's all, He's all, He's all right!
