Can I Get A Witness Lyrics


I like the way
Can I get a witness? Yes
Oh yeah
Well, hit it!
Look comin' with the darlin'
Witness
I'll take this
I rap for Christ, no crossin' the line
I don't water down lyrics or forget the spine
I gotta come bold, 'cause I've been sold
On the word that'll never grow old
Ya see, I was raised in a Godly home
And I was taught as a child who is on the throne
I learned to have faith and I learned to stand
Up for the father, who is in command
Ya know, back in the day I was taught to pray
Ya see, a livin' God would have it no other way
I wanna know who's down with what I say

Yo fellas, there's no time to play, so get busy
(Can I get a witness?)
Does anyone agree?
(Can I get a witness)
To stand for their belief?
(Can I get a witness)
To carry on the torch?
(Bring honor to the Father)
(Give glory to the Lord)
Who's in the army, who's servin' the king?
Callin' all brothers to the center ring
We're in one accord, we're servin' the Lord
Eternal life is our reward
We gotta come together and build morale
Yo, what are ya waitin' for, the time is now
I gotta ask y'all, do I stand alone?
I need a second motion on the microphone
Can I get a witness to what you've heard
I need a posse to give me da word
Jump on my back, let's kill the hype, boys
I need a witness for Jesus Christ
(Can I get a witness?)
Does anyone agree?
(Can I get a witness)
Oh, to stand for their belief?
(Can I get a witness)
To carry on the torch?
(Bring honor to the Father)
Give glory to the Lord
Can I get, can I get a witness?
W-w-witness
Can I, can I, can I get a witness?
Oh yeah
Don't stand for me or for dc talk
'Til ya know in your heart that we ain't the bulk
We're just three young brothers who were willin' to serve
Took a stand, threw the devil a curve
By usin' our talent for the almighty Lord
When He gave us a gift, He gave us a chore
Called the Great Commission, it's like fishin'
But souls are the goal of this Christian mission
Claim to be willin', yo, let it be known
Don't hide ya faith like a dog on a bone
We need a soldier who's got it in check
And a fit witness who's full in effect
(Can I get a witness?)
Does anyone agree?
(Can I get a witness)
Whoa, to stand for their belief?
(Can I get a witness)
To carry on the torch?
(Bring honor to the Father)
Give glory to the Lord
(Can I get a witness?)
Does anyone agree?
(Can I get a witness)
Some guy, someone
(Can I get a witness)
Well, well, well, well
To carry on the torch?
(Bring honor to the Father)
Give glory to the Lord
I gotta say a few, can I get a witness?
I'm talkin' about a witness for Jesus Christ
Y'all know what I'm sayin'?
Y'all it's time to get busy people
It's time to get busy out there
Servin' your Lord and Savior
Yo, He's askin' you now
"Can I get a witness?"
If y'all know what's up with that
If you down with this movement
I need some help
I need somebody to get my back out there
Because Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior
Called did it upon us
Now it's our turn to return this favor
And called to do it for Him
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
Can I get a witness?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, dc Talk, Nu Thang, and Free At Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name TobyMac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own.
