Chrisette Michele


[Intro]
Yes Lord
Oh yes Lord, yes Lord
Thank you choir for that amped beat selection
Brother Cardec, you got them sounding mighty fine today
Nah-nah
Bigot, I'ma need you to stand in front of the door!
Oh, you may need to stand in front of the door!
I believe I'ma say something that folk ain't gon' like tonight!
Oh, you ain't gon' like me...
Can I testify? Can I testify?
Church

[Chorus]
By now, you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it (You better believe it)
I just tell you once, I don't repeat myself, so you better believe it (You better believe it)
Believe it, you better believe it
You better believe it
You better believe it

[Verse 1]
Please pay attention, everybody better settle in (Better settle in)
Minor get to preaching on these tracks like a reverend (A reverend!)
Not like some of the ones in the spotlight (Spotlight!)
On private jets, better straighten up and fly right (Fly right!)
That treat the church like a brothel, yeah, they prostitute the truth (Woo!)
How many people gotta die tonight before we stop preaching to the choir?
They get scared when I talk about the drugs, and the gun
And the hood, and the poor, like if we don't pay attention, it won't happen any more (Yeah)
In the suburbs, where the money at? We'll send it overseas before they send it to Chicago
Cops kill a kid, bet they talk about Chicago
Yeah, the hood is messed up: pray before you judge, tho (Who finna stand up?)
Can't turn my back on the culture, be a vulture
I approach ya, and tell you how my family in hood
And it ain't looking good, so if I move to L.A, I'll never be Hollywood
Yes, this is personal, it's a not a show, if it was just for dough
What's the point of even doing it for?
When there's people that I know straight hooked to dope
I got truth that they need to know! Let me talk about it
[Chorus]
By now, you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it
I just say this once, I won’t repeat myself, so you better believe it
You better believe it, you better believe it

[Drop]
You better believe it! (Believe it, believe it, believe it, believe it)
You better believe it! (Believe it, believe it, believe it, believe it)
You better believe it!

[Break]
Oh yes Lord, yes Lord
Choir, y'all better get it together
Let me preach

[Verse 2]
They don't wanna hear what I gotta say (Don't talk about it)
They don't wanna hear what I gotta say (Don't talk about it!)
They don't wanna hear me talk about how Sunday service
Is the most segregated time in the USA (The truth!)
What kinda sermon do you think that preach to everybody watching?
Here's another man shot and we don't talk about the topic
We don't even pray about it (Nah), all we say about it
"No comment, don't rock a boat about it"
I ain't scared, it don't matter what the cost, I'mma say it
'Till there's prices on my head, and I'm dead
Go to Chucky Cheese if you looking for a token
I'm only 'bout spitting real truth, that's potent
Fighting for the found and the lost, slave and the free
And I'll give my life 'cause He gave it for me
I speak for a King and we're made in his image
When you're looking at yourself, His reflection's in the mirror
Gimme me the mic, run it again, y'all in my aim now
I'm running from nothing, I give 'em the key, unlocking the chain now
I say what I want, and I'm keeping it real, that is the way now
I know what I'm doing, they seeing the movement
It's making 'em ready for change now
Give it away now, give it a-give it away now!
Give it away now, give it a-give it away now!
A lot of people talk and I ain't heard a thang now!
And if I say it, then believe it right away now!
[Chorus]
By now, you should know that I mean what I say and you better believe it
I just say this once, I won’t repeat myself, so you better believe it
You better believe it, you better believe it

[Drop]
You better believe it! (Believe it, believe it, believe it, believe it)
You better believe it! (Believe it, believe it, believe it, believe it)
You better believe it!
