[Intro]

They told me to tone it down, but

My fourteen-year-old just told me he loves me, so I think I'm doing something right


[Verse 1]

Sometimes we cover up pride as boldness

And we hide the bold print

Disguise the focus

Make face say grace

Camouflage the goal with

Delicate font never applaud lies the old is

Dead to me

Give it up nothing left to be

Holding me back kept moving

Game tight I don't step loosely

I don't know ya name - catch uzis

That's to the

Lies the flesh fed through these

Currents of the culture - chill

They tell me that the

Burden is too much to feel

And the holy worship is over kill

I'd rather be killed over worship still

The only wave I'mma ride

Looking like a tsunami tide

Dying daily get 'em traumatized

Took it to another level if you wanna try

Die daily to the hourly homicide

Murder by the minute

Slug every second (ratata)

I don't tone it down

See the definition

Repetition before recognition

Repetition before recognition

Never quitting


[Hook]

They tell me to tone it down now

But I turn it up like surround sound

Everybody down town

Gather round now

Watch me lift it up-up-up

I can't

Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)

Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it tone it down

I can't


[Verse 2]

Everybody get loud about something find out

Let them run with me coming up into my house

It's so abundantly centered around the lifestyle

We put our hands together to stop but it's not a time out

Persistent in the prayer

Wishing isn't there

Committed to the care

Diligent prepared

Missionary flare send em anywhere

Conditioned for the tares

Yeah I been aware

How could I tone down

The soul sound

When He left His throne

Found an old clown

Living on low ground

Behold how

My goal now

Is so bound

In the will of God

Gorilla squad we so loud

Uh-oh

They get so defensive

They don't know the difference

Between compassionate Christians

And mask wearing bigots

So we love the loudest get back on our mission


[Hook]

They tell me to tone it down now

But I turn it up like surround sound

Everybody down town

Gather round now

Watch me lift it up-up-up

I can't

Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)

Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it tone it down

I can't


[Verse 3]

They tell me tone it down I just tune it up

God making room for us

Like an Uber does

You can't ruin what

He started He's consuming us

Stop assuming

We ain't smart enough

The foolish ones

Made wise at the graveside

Every day die

By the wayside

Never see a brake light

Keep it moving

And filet my

Flesh God's breath

Gave life to a lame guy

God the only one who can fix their hearts

But I cannot remove the offensive parts

I can show and prove this is meant to start

Controversy when God is working amidst the dark

You hearing us?

Would you ever talk to who's steering a

Airplane his brain trained he's geared for this

And say he takes flying jets too serious

I don't think so


[Hook]

They tell me to tone it down now

But I turn it up like surround sound

Everybody down town

Gather round now

Watch me lift it up-up-up

I can't

Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)

Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)

Tone it tone it down

I can't
