Jesus Is Just Alright (Live 1996)

[Intro: TobyMac]
No matter what they say these days…
Jesus is still alright!
Come on!

[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, yea-eah

[Post-Chorus: DC Talk, TobyMac]
Say "Ooh ooh, ooh ooh"
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Do do do do

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
TobyMac, and the Mac is back, no slack
On a DC track that's jacked
Beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention
That there's a lack of recognition
When it comes to His position
'Cause if Christ can't be crossed over
Then I'll keep my beat up nova

[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, yea-eah

[Post-Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
I don't care what they may say (Uh)
I don't care what they may do (Uh)
I don't care what they may say (Uh)
Jesus is still alright
He's alright with me, yea-ea-eah
That's right
I'm a Jesus Freak

[Verse 2: TobyMac]
Back in place
And I'm all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace
Like a mother to her (Child) child
I'm kickin' it Jesus- (Style) style
To the ones that think they (Heard) heard
I did use the J- (Word) word
'Cause I ain't too soft to say it
Even if DJ's don't play it

[Breakdown: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
Do do do do do, do do do
You sing
Do do do do do, do do do
Oh yeah
Do do do do do, do do do
Jesus is still alright, yeah
Oh, you know I'm hopin' and I'm prayin'

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait]
Jesus is still alright (Hey hey, yea-ee)
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright (Hey hey, hey-ee)
Jesus is still alright (Yeah yeah, ooh yeah)

[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!

[Bridge: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Together]
Jesus
Don't ya know?
He's, oh yes, He's my friend
My friend
And I said, uh
Jesus
He is my friend, oh
He took me by the hand
Yes, He did
Oh, He loved me
Wanna take you somewhere
Far from this land
Jesus
He is my friend

[Breakdown: TobyMac]
Come on! Get up, get up!
Come on! Get up, Portland!
Come on! Get up, get up!
Come on! Get up, Oregon!
Come on! Get up, get up!
Come on! Get up, up up!
Come on! Get up, get up!
Come on! Get up!

[Verse 3: TobyMac]
I'm down with the one that is known as the Son
Of the G to the O to the D, never done
With the flow, in the know, on the go like a pro
Not for show 'cause I ain't in the biz for the dough
Or the me, or the ray, all the dough's gotta stay
'Cause I can't, no, I can't take it home anyway
Never trite when I write 'cause the Lord is my light
And His Word is my bond, so ya know, know, know, know He's alright

[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
Jesus is still alright
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright
Jesus is still alright (Yeah yeah, ooh yeah) (Oh ooh oh)

[Post-Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Jesus is still alright (O-oh yeah, o-oh yeah)

[Breakdown: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
Do do do do do, do do do
Do do do do do, do do do
Do do do do do, do do do
Jesus is still alright, yeah

[Outro: Kevin Max, with Michael Tait, TobyMac]
Oh, He's al—He's al—He's al—He's alright
Detroit!

[Interlude: TobyMac]
Yeah
It's nice to be in the middle of the West
Check this out
This wasn't an easy song to right
But it was an honest song
Kinda had to look our fear in the eyes
A fear of, uh, failing and of our peers
I'm sure you can relate to that
It's called "What If I Stumble?"
