[Hook: Mike Real & Flame]

Hands, hands, all I see is hands

The saints is in the building

We warned them in advance

And we ain’t goin' nowhere

We praise him ‘cause it’s necessary

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them

Hold up

H-h-h-h-h-h-h-hold up

[Verse 1: Mike Real]

Jesus all on my brain (hold up)

Jesus all on my brain (hold up)

Christ is the big picture so it’s Jesus all in my frame (hold up)

Don’t you see that we ‘bout it

Living for Christ and we shout it

Who are y’all clowning

God is astounding, but they can’t see it

They vision is cloudy

So uh, what we gon’ do ‘bout that? What we gon’ do ‘bout that? Huh?

Look, we gon’ put his love on display

Bang it in our weight in rap

Hold up, we gon’ show ‘em the way, serving the Lord and you know we obey

We take over buildings

Look at his children, swinging from ceilings

Cirque du Soleil

Hold up, hold up, you mean to tell me you showed up

Just to tell us you ballin’

Plus you got the game sewn up?

So what, man we serve a God who is legendary

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

[Hook: Mike Real and Flame]

Hands, hands, all I see is hands

The saints are in the building

We warned them in advance

And we ain’t going nowhere

We praise him ‘cause it’s necessary

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

[Verse 2: Flame]

Look me in my face, I ain’t got no worries

‘Bout to turn this place into a sanctuary

But I need to see those hands up if you want what we on

Said I need to see those hands up if you in my zone

How we chillin’ when it’s hot in the building

I got that it’s God and his children

If we outside, then we go in

If we inside, then we go in

Hold up, ‘cause we are the saints

And everything we are got the Lord to thank

And everything we ain’t, we’re being sanctified, he fightin’ on our side like an army tank

Need I say that we are the church

But in Spanish "iglesia"

In the hood they say “church people”

But in the Greek it says “ecclesia”

And where we are, the Spirit is

Holy One’s household of faith

We bear the marks of the called and elect by the Good Shepherd, that’s a heavy weight

But as it relates to life and Godliness, boy, we got the royal flush

Was an orphan like orphan Annie

He upped the ante and adopted us

I’m ‘bout to work myself into a frenzy, God is in me contending, I’m about to bust

Turn a prison cell to a sanctuary

Paul, Silas, lock us up

[Hook]

Hands, hands, all I see is hands

The saints are in the building

We warned them in advance

And we ain’t going nowhere

We praise him ‘cause it’s necessary

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

[Bridge: Mike Real]

So what we gon’ do right now? What we gon’ do right now? Huh?

What we gon’ do right now? What we ‘bout to do right now? Whoo!

So what we gon’ do right now? What we gon’ do right now?

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

[Hook]

Hands, hands, all I see is hands

The saints are in the building

We warned them in advance

And we ain’t going nowhere

We praise him ‘cause it’s necessary

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them hands, hands, hands

Let me see them

So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary
