When DC Talks Lyrics

[Intro: TobyMac, Choir & DMC]
Listen to the part
An' listen to the part
When DC talks
It's time to ja—
Aw, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ha-ha!
God's Word

[Chorus]
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] We got some non-believers out there
[Choir] When DC talks
[DMC] Aw—, aw—aw, yeah
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] We got some non-believers out there
[Choir] When DC talks
[DJ E-Z Rock] Hit it!
[Choir] Ta-t-t-t-ta-talk

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Ah, when I talk, I talk about the Lord
You can be sure that you can't afford
To miss a lyric, a rhymin' line
Ya know, they got meanin', they're right on time
Totally true and to the last letter
If it's Christian, it ought to be better
Omit a bit, it should be the best
If it's of the King, you know it's blessed

[Chorus]
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] This a serious bit
[Choir] When DC talks
[DMC] Aw—, aw—aw, yeah
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] This a serious bit
[TobyMac] Aw, yeah
[Choir] When DC talks
[DJ E-Z Rock] Hit it!
[Choir] Ta-t-t-t-ta-talk
[James Brown] Uh

[Verse 2: TobyMac]
D is for decent and I mean what I say
But obscene, I don't play that way
C is for Christ to the I-A-N
That's right, y'all, I am born again
Talk's my tool, my gift to use
R-A-P to spread the news of God
So you know the part
Now tell the world what's on your heart

[Chorus]
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] We got some non-believers out there
[Choir] When DC talks
[DMC] Aw—, aw—aw, yeah
[Choir] When DC…
[TobyMac] …talks
[Michael Tait] We got some non-believers out there
[Choir] When DC talks
[DJ E-Z Rock] Hit it!

[Outro: TobyMac]
Go-got to hit it
