[Intro: TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Dick Nelson]
Take this mug for a ride!
Boo! Bur! Huh! Bah!
Down with the DC Talk
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk?
D-d-down with the DC Talk (Uh)
[Verse 1: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
So I'm pullin' out my big black book (Black book)
'Cause when I need a word defined, that's where I look
So I turn to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
I looked again but to my dismay
It was black and white with no room for gray
Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond the word
And yo, that's when it hit me (Ha!) that love is a verb, say…
[Pre-Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin', you can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it will be just right
[Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait & TobyMac]
(Hoo!) Hey, tell mе haven't you heard? (Yo, haven't ya hеard?)
Love is a serious word (Serious, serious word)
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what you say, I don't care what you heard
The word "love," (Ha!) love is a verb
[Post-Chorus: TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Down with the DC Talk
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk?
D-d-down with the DC Talk
[Verse 2: TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Yo, I'm thinkin' of a way to explain-o (Explain)
'Cause ya knowin' that I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
Simple and plain (Oh), L-O-V-E ain't all that junk that you see on TV
Put soaps on a rope 'cause they ain't worth copin' (Oh-oh)
With it's a myth that there ain't no hope and (Oh)
Love is enough if it's unconditionally
Given now ya livin' out the Great Commission
[Pre-Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin', you can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it will be just right
[Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait & TobyMac]
(Bur!) Hey, tell me haven't you heard? (Yo, haven't ya heard?)
Love is a serious word (Serious, serious word)
Hey, I think it's time ya learned
I don't care what you say, I don't care what you heard
The word "love," (Ha!) love is a verb
[Post-Chorus: TobyMac & Michael Tait]
Down with the DC Talk
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Down with the DC Talk
Are you down with the DC Talk?
Down with the DC Talk
Talkin' 'bout lovin'
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Talkin' 'bout lovin'
Down with the DC Talk
Talkin' 'bout lovin'
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Talkin' 'bout lovin'
[Verse 3: TobyMac]
Aw, back in the day there was a man (A man)
Who stepped out of Heaven and He walked the land (Walked the land)
He delivered to the people an eternal choice
With a heart full of love and the truth in His voice
Gave up his life so that we may live
How (Much) more (Love) could the (Son of) God (Give)?
Here is the example that we outta be matchin'
'Cause love is a word that requires some action
[Pre-Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait]
Words come easy but don't mean much
When the words they're sayin', you can't put trust in
We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
And if we all learn to love it will be just right
[Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait & TobyMac]
(Hoo!) Hey, tell me haven't you heard? (Yo, haven't ya heard?)
Love is a serious word (Serious, serious word)
Hey, I think it's time you learned
I don't care what you say, I don't care what you heard
The word "love," (Ha!) love is a verb
[Outro: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
I'm talkin' down with the DC Talk
Hey, hey
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Hey
Down with the DC Talk
Love, love
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Is a serious word, oh, no
Down with the DC Talk
Hey, hey
D-d-down with the DC Talk
Oh, oh, oh oh-oh
What you say, what you heard
D-d—
