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?

The Rolling Stones are an English rock group, formed in London in 1962. First popular in Europe, they quickly became successful in North America during the "British Invasion" of the mid 1960s. Since then, their worldwide sales are estimated at more than 200 million albums. In 1989, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2004, they ranked number 4 in Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked the Rolling Stones at number ten on "The Billboard Hot 100 Top All-Time Artists", and as the second most successful group in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The group was formed by Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ian Stewart, who met as schoolmates in Dartford, Kent. They took their name from a Muddy Waters song called "Rollin' Stone Blues", and made their live debut at London's Marquee Club (minus Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts). They start playing pubs and clubs around the city and suburbs. Bill Wyman joined later that year (the popular story is that he was asked because he had his own amplifier).

In January 1963, Charlie Watts joined the Stones. The band gigged constantly, with residencies at venues like Ealing Jazz Club, Ken Colyer's Studio 51, and Eel Pie Island in Twickenham. Their weekly performances at the Crawdaddy at Richmond's Station Hotel resulted in ecstatic press reviews, and in April Andrew Loog Oldham saw them there and signed them to his management company the next day. He started the "Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone" press campaign, which set the tone for their career.

In May 1963, the Stones were signed to Decca Records by the same man who had turned down the Beatles. A month later "Come On", the first Rolling Stones single, was released, and reached number two in the U.K. charts.

The fifth member of the group, Brian Jones, left on 8th June 1969, saying that he wanted to form a new group. He was replaced by Mick Taylor, formerly in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.

In 1971 the Stones, whose contract with Decca had expired, launched their Rolling Stones Records label. In December 1974 Taylor left the group in order to pursue a solo career. He was replaced in 1975 by Ronnie Wood.

Since Wyman left the Stones in 1993, the band has consisted of Jagger, Richards, Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood. In studio and live performances, Darryl Jones (bassist) and Chuck Leavell (keyboardist) also serve as a regular contributors.

All the members have also undertaken solo projects of various kinds.
