This song is a call to all people, of every race, nationality, and status, who are made beautiful and equal in God’s eyes. It is a call to unite despite our diverse backgrounds and upbringing to demonstrate the power of Love when we are working together for a greater purpose.
[Hook]
Wild boys, go and round 'em up
Young boys, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Them wild girls, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
All boys, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
[Verse 1]
I'm back in my business
I travel in waters that you cannot swim in
I paddle like I'm up in Venice
Intendin' to make a disciple
Pause, I’m not here to make an apprentice
I'm here to mold 'em all around to be faithful
Some rather be religious, that image I cannot defend it
Round 'em up, lookin' all over the streets
I know enemies destroyin' the image of God
To live under pressure, that's what? Low self esteem
That's not a murderer, that's not hoodlum
Or savage, go look at Him, that is a king
That's not thot, Aunt Jemima with the pot
Or with Jezebel, that is a queen
These lil' youngin's don't know
These lil' youngin's don't know, y'all ain't better
Everybody lost their way, everybody gon' need hope
Don't you judge, he ain't no thug, no criminal
She ain't gonna be no ho'
That's potential, everybody gon' need grace
Everybody in the same boat, round 'em up
[Hook]
Wild boys, go and round 'em up
Young boys, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Them wild girls, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wild boys, go and round 'em up
Young boys, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Them wild girls, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
All boys, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
[Verse 2]
Now God don't care 'bout your prestige or status
Check the blueprint
It ain't about what brand of tool you use
It 'bout how you use it
I'm a rebel, I'm a renegade
You gon' make me prove it
Try committin' to the culture
And it's people, don't just use us, round 'em up
Goin' from city to city
Then fly to a whole other state, ay, ay
Hopin' to make a disciple
Some of us know what it take, yeah, yeah
Walkin' to lead by example
Run at a similar pace, yeah, yeah
Lead a new wave, I'ma ride
'Til everyone know 'bout the faith, whoa
Let 'em up roll to the corner with ya
Show them how to lead a conversation
Give respect to the plug, don't be savage
Ain't no room for no degradation
Half of 'em came from the bottom
Tell 'em who don't get a second chance
Everybody gettin' smoked out
And I ain't talkin' 'bout a second hand
[Hook]
Wild boys, go and round 'em up
Young boys, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Them wild girls, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Wild boys, go and round 'em up
Young boys, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Them wild girls, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
Count 'em up, count 'em up, round 'em up
All boys, go and round 'em up
All my sisters, go and round 'em up
Disciples standin' at the corner
Disciples standin' at the corner
