Take it out on me And it's alright And now it's you who's floored by fear of it all Broad-shouldered beasts fill the sky Manhattan beats at the night But you are wrapped up in wire Curled up in fright So I took you to the city for the night To dance

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean I am a rock not just another grain of sand I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand Because we can Because we ca-an our love can move a mountain We

They way you look should be a sin, you my sensation I love it though Uh put your hands to the constellations I know I'm preaching to the congregation We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting We ain't married
