Gah Ta Be

[Intro: TobyMac]
Now come on!

[Verse 1: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir]
Now you can have all the fun and money man can have
Sport a Porsche or carry Gucci bags
You can gear in gold from your chest to your chin
But if you don't know the Savior, you'll never get in
The gates o' Hell shall prevail on your soul
If makin' money, shakin' honeys is your lifelong goal
There's a plan laid before you that can change the above
It can fit any man like a hand in a glove
There's only one way to Heaven and that won't change
'Cause my almighty Father's not respectful of names

[Pre-Chorus: TobyMac]
So be saved

[Chorus: Michael Tait & Choir, TobyMac]
Saved, you got to be saved (Come and be saved)
Saved, you got to be saved (We'll let the choir rave)
Saved, you got to be saved (You got to, got to be saved)
Saved, you got to be saved

[Verse 2: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir, Michael Tait]
I once knew a politician up on Capitol Hill
Attended all the right parties 'cause he voted on bills
He had big friends, he drove a Benz
But a life full o' strife cause he was livin' in sin
He said he wasn't satisfied with life as it was
Everything he'd always wanted simply wasn't enough
When he asked me, "Why so happy?" I had to confess
"I got Christ in my life, I've been more than blessed"
You see there's nothin' wrong with finer things in life
But an eternity in Heaven ain't displayin' a price (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus: TobyMac]
So be saved

[Chorus: Michael Tait & Choir, TobyMac, Michael Tait]
Saved, you got to be saved (Come and be saved) (Listen up)
Saved, you got to be saved (We'll let the choir rave)
Saved (Oh), you got to be saved (You got to, got to be saved) (Come on)
Saved, you got to be saved (You got to be saved)
Ah ooh

[Bridge: TobyMac, Choir, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Now break it down real nice for us
Sa-sa-sa-saved
You gotta know it and believe it
Sa-sa-sa-saved
You gotta show it and receive it
One time!

[Organ Solo]

[Pre-Chorus: TobyMac]
Now you got to be saved

[Chorus: Choir, TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Saved (Oh), you got to be saved (Come on and be saved) (Believe it)
Saved, you got to be saved (Saved) (Let the choir rave)
Saved, you got to be saved (You got to, got to be saved)
Saved (Oh, you gotta know it), you got to be saved

[Verse 3: TobyMac, TobyMac, Michael Tait & Choir]
Well, from a brother to another, I'm not doggin' the bucks
'Cause a bum without the father is a bum outta luck
No mention of exemption, no requirements waived
To enter through the gates ya got to, got to be saved
Don't make it complex, straight up text
No matter what race, creed, color, or sex
Accept him, don't reject him, heed the call of the Christ
He's at your heart's door knockin', He awaits a reply
This life is temporary, lay your treasures above
Eternal life is offered through His infinite love

[Pre-Chorus: TobyMac]
And be saved

[Chorus: Choir, TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Saved, you got to be saved (Come and be saved)
Yeah
Saved, you got to be saved (We'll let the choir rave)
Saved, you gah ta be saved (You got to, got to be saved)
Saved, you got to be saved

[Outro: Choir, TobyMac & Michael Tait]
Saved (Oh, yeah), you got to be saved (The preacher, the teacher)
Saved, you got to be saved (Oh, yeah) (You got to be saved)
Saved (Oh, yeah), you got to be saved
Saved, you got to be saved
