We Got to Get It Right

Ay y'all, we got to get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...

I thank God, 'cause He cares enough to chasten me
He's placin' me in a place with His grace in me
Trial after trial, grow in every tribulation
Occupation? Genesis to Revelation
I'm eatin' the Word, like ravioli
'Cause the Lord told me I gotta be holy
Me, do otherwise? No, I don't think so
I'll be sure to iron out every wrinkle
To go from cruel to spiritual
The Lord said, "You'll need a mind renewal"
So uh, from what I'm used to, now I'm in an odd place
Fastin', prayin', stayin' up in God's face
I love God, so I follow His commandments
A new creature, ain't been that old man since
Old things past away, all things became new
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I aim to... get it right...

We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...

Lord, let Your Anointing flow through a fresh vessel
Yes, I know that my spirit and my flesh wrestle
They war against each other, that is no question
I gotta fight, just to keep flesh under subjection
'Cause I don't wanna sin, spirit is gonna win
The Holy Ghost convicts me, 'cause I'm born again
God commands to be holy, so I got plans to
Please God every time I get the chance to
I'm gonna be righteous, and I'ma raise God
Higher, as long as He stays God, I'll praise God
Praise God, just in case you didn't quite hear it
Create in me a clean heart, renew a right spirit
Tearin' down strongholds, my Light's glowin'
I'm growin', I'll take a trial, and I'll keep goin'
Gotta keep God's Will in perspective
To witness and be effective... we gotta get it right...

We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...

You might as well get ready for the rebuke storm
God is gonna spew you out if you're lukewarm
To serve Him, what kind of effort will you put in?
It's time out for one foot out, one foot in
You say you're godly, but are you really wit' it though?
Man, it's pitiful, bein' hypocritical
Look, you can't be straight, but yet still curly
So why would you claim God and act worldly?!
Stop deception, backbitin' and fornicatin'
And every other sin, here's a warnin', Satan:
I'm gonna stomp you so bad, you'll need a paramedic
'Cause you're pathetic, and this prophetic:
Saints, get you a magnifying glass to see me clearer
After you scrutinize me, grab a mirror
And size up, it's time to rise up, like a balloon
'Cause Jesus is comin' back soon...
Y'all, we gotta get it right...

We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
We gotta get it right, get, get, get it right
We gotta get it right, got, got to get it right
Gotta get it right... so!... we gotta fight... Yo!...

To all my sisters and brothers, we got to get it right
All of the fathers and mothers, we got to get it right
To all my sons and my daughters, nieces and nephews
And uncles, aunties and neighbors and cousins
We got to get it right
To all the pastors and preachers, we got to get it right
All of the reverends and teachers, we got to get it right
To all the bishops and elders, evangelists, prophets
And those who spread the Gospel of Jesus
We got to get it right
My church sisters and brothers, we got to get it right
All of the greeters and ushers, we got to get it right
To all the youth and the children and nursery workers
And deacons and nurses and the mothers
We got to get it right
To all the music ministers, we got to get it right
Choir and praise team members, we got to get it right
Praise and worship leaders, musicians, choir directors
Singers: Soprano, alto and tenors
We got to get it right
To all the prayers and fasters, we got to get it right
The entertainers and actors, we got to get it right
To all the Christian professionals on the job
And the Christian and Gospel singers and rappers
We got to get it right
Basically everybody, we got to get it right
Notice the pronoun is "we", we got to get it right
Every single Christian in the Body of Christ
Including Waynebo and especially me
We got to get it right
