Tone it Down

[Intro]
They told me to tone it down, but
My fourteen-year-old just told me he loves me, so I think I'm doing something right

[Verse 1]
Sometimes we cover up pride as boldness
And we hide the bold print
Disguise the focus
Make face say grace
Camouflage the goal with
Delicate font never applaud lies the old is
Dead to me
Give it up nothing left to be
Holding me back kept moving
Game tight I don't step loosely
I don't know ya name - catch uzis
That's to the
Lies the flesh fed through these
Currents of the culture - chill
They tell me that the
Burden is too much to feel
And the holy worship is over kill
I'd rather be killed over worship still
The only wave I'mma ride
Looking like a tsunami tide
Dying daily get 'em traumatized
Took it to another level if you wanna try
Die daily to the hourly homicide
Murder by the minute
Slug every second (ratata)
I don't tone it down
See the definition
Repetition before recognition
Repetition before recognition
Never quitting

[Hook]
They tell me to tone it down now
But I turn it up like surround sound
Everybody down town
Gather round now
Watch me lift it up-up-up
I can't
Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)
Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it tone it down
I can't
[Verse 2]
Everybody get loud about something find out
Let them run with me coming up into my house
It's so abundantly centered around the lifestyle
We put our hands together to stop but it's not a time out
Persistent in the prayer
Wishing isn't there
Committed to the care
Diligent prepared
Missionary flare send em anywhere
Conditioned for the tares
Yeah I been aware
How could I tone down
The soul sound
When He left His throne
Found an old clown
Living on low ground
Behold how
My goal now
Is so bound
In the will of God
Gorilla squad we so loud
Uh-oh
They get so defensive
They don't know the difference
Between compassionate Christians
And mask wearing bigots
So we love the loudest get back on our mission

[Hook]
They tell me to tone it down now
But I turn it up like surround sound
Everybody down town
Gather round now
Watch me lift it up-up-up
I can't
Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)
Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it tone it down
I can't

[Verse 3]
They tell me tone it down I just tune it up
God making room for us
Like an Uber does
You can't ruin what
He started He's consuming us
Stop assuming
We ain't smart enough
The foolish ones
Made wise at the graveside
Every day die
By the wayside
Never see a brake light
Keep it moving
And filet my
Flesh God's breath
Gave life to a lame guy
God the only one who can fix their hearts
But I cannot remove the offensive parts
I can show and prove this is meant to start
Controversy when God is working amidst the dark
You hearing us?
Would you ever talk to who's steering a
Airplane his brain trained he's geared for this
And say he takes flying jets too serious
I don't think so

[Hook]
They tell me to tone it down now
But I turn it up like surround sound
Everybody down town
Gather round now
Watch me lift it up-up-up
I can't
Tone it-tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it-tone it down(hey hol' up)
Tone it tone it down(talk to 'em)
Tone it tone it down
I can't
