Hold up, wait a minute
Ya know what's goin' on when Krutch is in it
Move over beg your pardon
Krutch gonna get this party started!
[repeat]

. . .


Gonna get this party started

It's all around me,
And I can't wish this away,
You so amaze me,
You took my monster away, [x2]

Wake me, c'mon and wake me up now I
Want to cut off my strings and break,
Loose of your control of me,
Cut your strings and be free with me, [x2]

[bridge]
Everybody, shake your body,
Lift your hands, stop frontin',
You're just a puppet, [x2]

To all the marionettes

(chorus)
If your gonna run, how fast ya gonna run?,
And If your gonna jump, how high can you jump?,
All you perpetrators be walkin' round frontin',
What?, you fakers afraid to stand for somethin'? why don't ya stand
Up n' break me off somethin'? [x2]

Ya wanna make it outta sight?,
Somebody wanna get live tonight?,
We can hit that, flip that, settle the score,
'n' ain't nobody rock a crowd like this before,
Ya wanna make it outta sight?,
Somebody wanna get live tonight?,
Like an earthquake, let it shake,
Make the floor vibrate, Krutch y'all,
Back to set the record straight.

All y'all people, listen, it's on,
Krutch marauders we on a mission,
Hittin' ya with the ill ammunition,
At war with the puppet master, ..
I'll bring it on if I had to,
Rip it 'n' leave the whole scene shattered,
Like, chik, blaow!, what ya think of me now,
I'm lettin' my dawgs out,
Makin' it loud so hear me shout, what?,
We be comin' laced with bass,
Hit the place with no trace,
When we rock the space,

[bridge]

To all the people still sleepin'

[Chorus (x2)]

. . .


We smashing,
Thousand be the head of the class 'n'
Rollin thru ya party with the stereo blastin' we creepin'
It's bin' seven since last weekend,
Everybody in the club freekin'
And in the corner, I can see ya standin' there,
Black jacket 'n' long hair we've been exchanging stares,
'n' I know ya, 'n' what'cha thinkin' yeah right,
Wearin' ya clothes air-tight at the club every night 'n',
Don't'cha know that brothers don't like the girls,
That be into the guys that be tellin them lies 'n' listen here hun,
Life's more than this,
Ya tryin to tell me that'cha never get bored of this?,

Yo, check this who you eye'in up for ya set list,
Frontin' with ya fake gold necklace,
Not respected, 'n' yet ya wonderin' why,
Seen the gleam in ya eyes, as soon as ya spotted them dolla signs $,
Girl what's next? who you hittin' up for the rolex?
Brothers need to clear their specs,
Boy ya gettin' gamed on, thinkin' she loves you 'n' all that,
Need to get it all back, move on 'n' step off that,
She's the wrong type, but same goes for females,
Cuz' guys be spittin' lies, not telling the details,
In the fine print, baby girl, don't sweat it,
Cuz one of these days you'll regret it,
And yo, the moral of the story is,
Dogs and cats are notorious, for gettin' funny around cash money,
So lesson learned, 'n' ya playin' with fire get burned,
Respect yourself, peace, kid hope ya learned

[CHORUS]
You think ya somethin' more ya so supafly,
To the fact you're blind, you're so empty inside,
It's hard for me to get this thru to you,
To the fact ya blind, baby, blind, baby, [x2]

Well it's the Sundance Kid,
Yo the rap villain, man for real and,
Peeps catchin' feelin's of the lyrical caps that I'm peeling,
Makin' noise y'all, me 'n' my krutch boys y'all, stand tall,
Cuz yo we ain't never gonna fall, man forget that,
Yo, we'll keep constantly comin' right back,
Like CHRIST when he rose on the third
Strikin' ya nerves take ya down, down, like Titanic to icebergs,
If ya messin' with a girl for her curves,
And yo, ya might be, you think ya somethin high and mighty,
Might be that you be frontin,
Most likely, no doubt, money be singin' the same song,
Respect yourself hun, it's the 34th Psalm

And sometimes I feel, so unbreakable, I'm so forsakeable,
I'm shattered,
And things aren't as they seem,
They're so in between, they're so make believe,
That it's un-real,
And wake me up when things are better,
Cuz I can't take much more of this and take these rags,
But leave my comfortable sweater,
And leave me alone, then leave me alone, alone, alone, a-lone

[chorus (x2)]

. . .


We sat upon your bed,
You said the things you said
And I could not believe that you seem so naive
We exchanged our poetry,
You seem to think a lot like me
I'll guess I'll just assume that we could talk about most anything

Then I asked have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded,
Just like all the walls are closing in
And you were left inside
Have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder
Seems to be no way out!
But there is One when in doubt

Ready for another day
Slowly watch ya waste away,
Havin' fun, bein' cool
Like we did in high school,
Elementary romance feelin' nervous at the dance,
Crack a smile hold it down,
Whatever the circumstance,
Sex, Drugs, Hadda be cool,
All the things we learned in school,
Typical teenage machines,
Anyone tell me what this means?
I could learn, I could try,
Never really had an alibi
Wish I did, that's no lie
Everybody's asking

[chorus]
Why?
When you feel like you cant fly
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,
Drives ya crazy, it's not over
Theres so much more to life then this
Why?
When you feel like you cant fly
You gotta know I got the answer for ya baby,
Drives ya crazy it's not over
Theres so much more to life then this

Things seem so hallucinary,
In the corners of my mind they scare me,
I know ya never meant to desert me,
Just like ya never really meant to hurt me

Then I ask have you ever felt abandoned?
Felt so lost that you were stranded,
Just like all the walls are closing in
And you were left inside
Have you ever felt like your days were numbered?
Stuck under a tree in thunder
Seems to be no way out
But there is One when in doubt

And you ask
[chorus]

So much more to life than this

. . .


Get Funky!

Who woulda guessed,
We'd be doin' it like this,
Scandalous,
For all the brothers who can't handle this,
Thousand Foot takin' up mad space,
Too much so that we could wipe out,
We got that classic touch,
Nothin' changed,
Still representing the same, boy,
You betcha,
The intellectual,
It's all about smooth texture,
We can be like wanna get it on quick,
Slick, When the riff hits yah,
Eardrum, and the word sticks,
Like think quick,
When in doubt who you goin to?
Who you owin' to,
On the other end,
Who's gonna be your friend?
Just a little something to think about, no doubt,
Thousand 'bout to let the rhime animal out
We be rockin' on till dawn and back again,
When you here the jam turn the volume back up to ten,
I love music and,
Can't imagine bein' here without it,
Turn it up so your neighbors all hear about it!

[Chorus]
Thousand Foot with the sound to move yah,
We got the rhythm that'll row right through yah,
Throw your hands up if the music soothes yah,
We rock on like a power booster
Thousand Foot with the sound to move yah,
We got the rhythm that'll run right through yah,
We raise the roof, never standin' still,
C'mon And make way, for the rhime animal.. [2x]

Well it's the second verse and,
No need for rehearsin',
I be the rhime animal,
Live and in person,
Wanna give a shout to all the real hip hoppers,
Who come to all of our shows, and represent proper,
Turning to those who understand what thousand foot do,
Cause it ain't entirely easy,
In this industry,
To pick up a mic and start rappin',
And put on guitar straps and start singing,
We'll be like, 'we're happy singin'
Yo we just can't get the hang of it,
Well it really is cause you can't understand the slang of it,
So what if a rock band was to throw in a few,
Ask a few, rascles jumpin' around,
Here's some finger snaps, said uh..
If you still don't get it man, Forget it,
By the time you accept us we'll be makin a new record,
It's all good tho,
It don't really matter,
The Krutch don't care,
We down for whatever

[Chorus]

Yo everybody swing,
Listen to the guitar sing, check it..

BREAK DOWN, COME ON!

[Chorus]

. . .


Your Unbelievable..

Check the method when I constantly flow,
No joke like the pronto, loud so,
John Doe up in his condo in Toronto,
Can hear the way foot comes down,
Just to give you the run down,
Krutch be droppin' it, daybreak to sundown,
When the smoke clears,
Who you think'll be standin' there?
Grippin' four mics,
Swingin' the cords up in the air,
Like cowboys,
We be rockin' the territory in this rap game,
'n' CHRIST blessed us with the octane,
The same name,
Who created the world in seven days,
Will change ya life, you'd be amazed,
Man, don't trip, we gon' carry on with the function,
Krutch preparin' the power punch 'n'

[Chorus]
The things, you say,
Your words will never push me away,
The things, you say,...
You're unbelivable,... you're so unbelievable

I just wanna make jams,
To pack the clubs 'n' stadiums,
With people of all types,
While makin' the crowd hype,
I got CHRIST in me, for the life of me,
Stand truly thankful for the sites I see,
'n' sparks be ignitin',
The minute we start writin',
GOD placed me in this fightin',
To speak 'n' to enlighten,
And I'm just that type-a, lyrical rhyme
Sniper, never a street fighter,
But down for gettin' hyper,
I'm a beat junkie brother, known by the emcee's,
For rippin' thru tracks like epidemic disease,
And shout to J.C. cuz' he reigns supreme,
'n' party people out there know what I mean.

[chorus]

Check this out, check this out,
Stepped on the scene, at the age of thirteen,
Crystal-clean, kick it like ya never seen,
Big expansion, that mmm bopped hanson,
'n' thru off Marylin Manson up in his mansion,
Out to rock the globe,
While its still here to rock,
With things that'll make ya drop ya jaw,
Run along 'n' lock ya door,
It's the Krutch coalition crowd,
On a mission now,
Original, givin' emcee's beat downs,
We bust, with the extreme thrust,
Of ten warriors, the notorious,
One triple zero, no joke, we let it flow,
Man for real though,
Steppin' on sneakers with steel toes.

[chorus]

. . .


BREAK!

Well this goes out to everybody
Who came to swing when we rock this party
It don't matta if you're 14 or 40
What we gonna do is just get this started
It's the Krutch brothers gettin mad retarded
If ya don't like it then disregard it
Stay true to what we believe, we never parted,
And we still rockin' mics just like we started

[chorus]
When up comes down,
Shake it like an earthquake
Turn a-round
Nothing can stop you
When up comes down,
Shake it like an earthquake
Turn a-round
Nothing can stop you
NOW!

It stays on just like the stage we blaze on
Light it like napalm, Thousand Foot up in the maison
Holy terror prepare yourself for the storm
You know it's on when the Krutch drops the bomb, yo
We can get the show on,
Right here, no fear
Rockin the party on
From the floor to the chandelier
Check the word
Don't just settle for video,
Can I get a yo?
Shake it down for the millennium

(when up comes down,
Shake it like an earthquake
Turn a-round, nothing can stop you)

When up comes down,
Shake it like an earthquake
Turn a-round,
Nothing can stop you

Nai...nai...nai...nothing can stop you now
Nai...nai...nai...nothing can stop you now

Burrbopbop!

. . .


I've met a lotta friends,
Been a lotta places,
Hung out in Hollywood,
With all the perfect faces,
Girls with dark tans,
Surfboards, the right bands,
Sometimes I feel like I could,
Hold the whole world in my hands...

Till I met You,
There were these things that made my day,
But You changed my views,
And I realized that there is more to life,
Than a Chevrolet.

And You say there's something different now,
About the way I hold my head, and I am,
Ready for it now,
To line 'em up and knock them down..

[Chorus]
Come along now
Grab a hand I'll show you how
We can all get out of here,
Well soon we'll all be gettin' clear.
Take me, break me, you never gonna shake me,
There's a lot about me you don't know so don't doubt me...
I was sent to let the world know,
Wind me up and let me go,
Told ya I would never be truly artificial,
Won't just back down sittin' in the background
Never play your enemy you'll never see the end of me

It's ok, if you need some time,
Need some time to think,
And it's alright,
I won't walk the line,
Until I see you blink [x2]

[Chorus]

. . .


I heard a place not too far from here
Is handing out answers
About why we are here
And it's a small town in a small world
And the congregation's small too
But somehow I think they're telling the truth

And in the same small town there is a girl
She's a good looker but she's mad at the world
And she's wondering about tomorrow and why she's here
She's sick and tired of using her sleeves to wipe her tears

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say [x5]

She sits alone
She's a re-run queen
The sun shines through her window
Enough to make out her figurine
The neighbours look at her strange
'Cos she's lived there her whole life
And they still don't know her name
She likes to keep to herself
'Cos she can't find nobody else

And oh oh,
You can tell by the look that's in her eyes
She's not that well
She's wishing someone would close their eyes
And picture this for just a moment to theirselves

And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah
That's what they say [x2]
And oh, at least that's what they say, yeah

What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
What they say [x4]
I don't care
Nooo....

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

And her heart opens wide
And for the first time in her life
She feels the touch of Jesus deep inside
And oh, she wonders what went wrong
In a town where nothing's going on
And thinks of all the others that she knows

And she said [x9]
Wanna leave out her name [x7]
Nooo [x7]

She wanders through the town
To find this place she's heard about
Thinking maybe they can figure out what's wrong
And oh, they greet her with a smile
Saying they've been waiting for quite some while
Just to let her know she's worth more than she's ever dreamed of

. . .


To all the people in the house tonite,
Can ya feel me?
To those who live under the street lights at night,
Can ya feel me?
Check this out,
We bout to set this off,
Here come the drums:

When I let loose,
I come out blazin',
I maintain mannin' all stations,
Fully prepared for all situations,
We blow tracks like shrapnel, with the rap skill,
Shoot to kill, not for thrills, I got an iron grip.
That's the sound we make, no mistake keep the floor warm,
From town to town and state to state,
And yo, we rock da set like an earthquake
Hold it tight too, and too, I just saw,
Strapped to my knife boots..
We bump tracks like a fifteens the flavors me,
And chill like light when it flows through my brain stream,
Ready to fit the script twice when I get nice,
Equally precise, hits you open like head lice,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now..

[bridge]
To all the people in the house tonight,
We're gonna keep on rockin' 'till the broad daylight,
So just listen to the sounds comin' through this mic,
We're gonna do this right, do this right. [x2]

[chorus]
Now set it off!!
Just set it off, right!
Set it off,
Just set it off, right! Come on!
Set it off,
We just set it off, right!
Set it off!
We just set off, right!
(Play this on yah radio)

Fire it up like NASA,
Rockin' it to ya'll, ghetto blaster,
You're quick we're faster,
We got the skills to out last ya,
My mentality stays open,
And if everything's cool,
I'm hopin',
To leave the microphone smokin'..
Hope your ready,
My whole team can rock steady,
Makin' noise with my boys,
And watchin' out for poison,
My main object is to stand for what I believe,
Maybe hear the sounds of the guillotine,

We drop, hit, electrify,
And to all the weak minded till the next in line,
Here we made it in our accord,
Ready to spawn,
Used to go on and on,
But now we just drop bombs,

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
This time around we're hear to let it be known,
Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone now..

[bridge]

[chorus]

Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..
Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Keep rockin' and don't stop..

. . .


Let's funk it up!

Relate, vacate, what's today's rate?,
In this day 'n' age ain't nobody safe,
Get'cha got'cha yo, who shot'cha?
I must warn ya, it's that way in California,
No one's givin', everyone's takin',
Who set's off the moves, you're makin'?
Huh, we're bringin' it, got you singin' it,
Hold on tight, cuz' this might sting a bit,

Now, bring it back

Yo, I gotta let my peeps know,
Cuz success ain't rated by how much dough you hold,
Ha, huh, huh, and it don't make sense,
To live your whole life for the dollars 'n' cents,
Cuz this greed is killin' us by the hundreds,
Ya sittin' on a million but ya still won' derin',
I guess happiness aint a fish you can't catch 'n'
Fool ya lookin' in the wrong direction,
It don't matter whether ya rich or not,
If ya gone, ya gone, ain't nothin' ya got,
It matters most in this circle of life,
If ya find your reason for being here,
If ya don't know, listen here, it's outlined in the book of life,
You want things to make sense?, take a U-turn, make it right,
For the two-triple zero, we come hummin',
My hand grippin' the mic tight,
That's how I'm comin',

[chorus]
All-the-way-live [x4]
Uh, feel the funk,
Make it rough,

It's just something that happens,
We try hard to deny,
You'll find out when it happens,
It's in the air tonight,
Here it comes now, fast like a gun now,
On the run now?
Turn to NUMBER ONE now,
Ya feet slowing, you're crazy,
And tired, come-back,

Hit me, sometimes, life is tricky,
The stickman comes along, to stick me,
Flick me, he cannot get with me,
Got saved 'n' got the victory,

Well who planned this?,
The Krutch don't miss,
With that funked out twist to get'cha on the canvas,
We be that ill-type,
But only when we grip mics,'n' T.F.K.
Be the squad that'll burn out the lights,
Like that, gettin' upon the drum track,
Crack back ya speaker stack to to be exact,
HE'S comin' keep ya eyes on the clock,
We rip mics of all types when we rock,
.. on and on and on, 'n' they'll be no frontin',
'cuz this is how I'm comin',

[chorus]

. . .


In my temptation to walk away
And through the endless troubled days
There's a hundred million ways
For me to release Your praise
And by and by, through the tears
And things You've taught me through the years
My whole life was designed by You
I'll never know anyone half as true

Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up so You can see
Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up from inside of me
Lift it up, I lift it up
Lift it up so You can see
Lift it up, I lift it up

So I lift it
I lift it up to You
And I'll never forget the times that we've been through
So I lift it
I said I lift it up to You
And I surrender all of me
To You, to You, to You
Everything I'll ever be
To You, to You, to You
I surrender all of me
