Lyrics

Yo, can I get a witness?
Brothers don't wanna be on my hit list
Time to kick positivity with the quickness
I'm breakin' off somethin' off slick with soft hits
Now what is all this, in my buffet I'm not havin' it
It's time to chill, I know you feel me
So bob your heads back and forth with
The swiftness 'cause it's real, we
Bless the visitors so please stand
These men the Hieroglyphics and yes, that's the reason
That you're feelin' like you do, don't attempt to simp
Be true to what you know, forget about pimps and limps
Close your eyes and think in spite of how we bring light of wrong
Situation's long when you can even think tight
And my fuse should be
A place that's for the crews and G's
A face to face, it ain't no losin' sleep
Peep, a million **** havin' good times
With Pastor Del, makin' mail, kickin' good rhymes
The doors are open so you're welcome to do this quick tricks
Risings, surprising and down six-six-six
If you need my help, below the secular realm
Better than them, yes I am, first sermon, I'm the man
We're havin' church today, mmm
We're havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Oh, get out your seats, havin' church today, mmm
Clap your hands, we're havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Verse two, and ain't no such thing as a curfew
'Cause when you're chillin' on this vibe ain't nobody gon' hurt you
Relaxin', kickin' and maxin'
Strictly no packin', listenin' to the saxon
Takin' time to the whole is just another hobby too
And plus I'm juiced 'cause Mike G is bringin' barbeque
Spare and ribs, there it is, whomp
Ain't no harm in movin' your arms and feelin' the groove
Bringin' a tingle into your body, move
And if you can't, we layin' hands all over you
Close your eyes and repeat after me
It ain't the power comin' from Pastor Snoopy
Best don't test your abilities, enter in hush-a-hush
You with the silence of the spirits then rush ya
With your hands, stand on the grand non-fiction
And hurry up so we can do the benediction
We're havin' church today, mmm
Clap your hands, we're havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Oh, get out your seats, havin' church today, c'mon
Clap your hands, we're havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Extra pro-lymphics havin' church today, mmm
Soul submission havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today, mmm
Casuals havin' church today, mmm
Yes, the shamans havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
We're havin' church today, mmm
My man Del's havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Oh, get out your seats, havin' church today, mmm
Yes, we are havin' church today
Lift your hands to the man
Don't be shy, we're havin' church today
Oh, it's goin' down
