The Elements
Song by TobyMac
I lace the boots up, it's straight to the door
'Cause this, is worth fighting for
I get my head right, the heart's gotta follow
Whisper a prayer like there ain't no tomorrow
Take a breath, and I exhale slow
I wasn't made for this kind of cold
This ain't the kind of place that you wanna know
These are the elements, I'm telling you bro
This world, is up in my grill
This world, is shooting to kill
This world always gotta be stealing my heart
This world always tryin' to rip my family apart (apart, apart, apart)
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
I got spirit, I got faith
I might bend but I won't break
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
And I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
This ain't our home, nah, not even close
They camouflage like we're fighting some ghost
You start to doubt everything that you know
I feel the heat and it's starting to show
They try to break us, break us, make us wanna give in
Lay down our arms, Novocain us again
Lay down a fight, I could never relent
And I'ma take it all the way to the end
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
I got spirit, I got faith
I might bend but I won't break
I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)
And I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
I'ma go down swinging, if I go down
Let's go
Elements, the elem-elements
Father, God, let me see it for what it is
This ain't neutral we're up against
These elements push me to the fence
And then I end up on top of it
If I'm not careful
To recognize what is pushing in
Open my eyes to these elements
Stand up and rise to these elements
I'm willing to fight, willing to fight
The elements
Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)
Elements, the elem-elements (let's go)
Elements, the elem-elements
Til the Day I Die
Song by TobyMac
I'll keep swingin' for the fences
It's like this heart is defenseless
Against the passion that's pumpin' through my veins
Blood, sweat, tears, it's a callin'
And if I can't walk, then I'm crawlin'
It might flicker, but they can't kill the flame
I can't stop, I can't quit
It's in my heart, it's on my lips
I can't stop, no, I can't quit
It's in my heart, yeah, I'm all in
'Til the wheels fall off
'Til the spotlight fades
I will lift Your banner high
I will lift Your banner high
And 'til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
'Til the day I
'Til the day I die
'Til the end of the line
('Til the day) 'til the day I die
It's Your name I'll glorify
It's runnin' deeper than the ocean
This ain't religion, it's devotion
3-6-5, every minute, every day
So in the middle of the madness
They can stretch me out like canvas
But I ain't ever gonna fit in their frame
I can't stop, I can't quit
It's in my heart, it's on my lips
I can't stop, no, I can't quit
It's in my heart, yeah, I'm all in
'Til the wheels fall off
'Til the spotlight fades
I will lift Your banner high
Lord, I lift Your banner high
And 'til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
'Til the day I
'til the day I die
('Til the end, 'til the end of the line) 'til the end of the line
('Til the day, 'til the day I die) 'til the day I die
It's Your name I'll glorify
T-T-T-T-T-T-'Til I die and they put me in the coffin (yeah)
Don't matter if I'm on the road or if I'm recordin'
Tell me what you think about me, that really ain't important
You know I'ma represent 'em, I ain't playin', can't afford to
I only got one life, and I get it though
And this is not an act, not a movie, not a TV show
I don't know what "Quittin'" means, I don't ever take it slow
You know I'm on the grind, me and Toby in the studio
Do it for the King, what you know about that?
Say you goin' harder, mmh, I doubt that
You say you doin' work, but you're asking where the couch at?
How you doin' work when you asking where the couch at, huh?
God is not a crutch, you can use Him when you wanna
You only look to Heaven when you goin' through some drama
And when they goin' through some problems and that's the only time they call Him
I guess I don't understand that life, wonder why?
'Cause' I'm all in
'Til the day I die
'Til the wheels fall off
'Til the spotlight fades
I will lift Your banner high
Lord, I lift Your banner high
And 'til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
'Til the day I
'Til the day I ('til the day I die)
'Til the day, 'til the day I die (til the day I die)
'Til the day I ('til the day I die)
'Til the end, 'til the end of the line ('til the end of the line)
'Til the day I ('til the day I die)
'Til the day, 'til the day I fall
'Til the day I ('til the day I die)
'Til the end, 'til the end of the line
