Walls

Lyrics

[Intro: Martin Luther King Jr., TobyMac, Choir & Flavor Flav] *claps* "For we have come to see that segregation is not only sociologically untenable…" Chicka chicka chickha "…it is morally wrong and sinful." *claps* Walls Walls "I have a dream this afternoon…" Walls Yeah, boys, DC Talk Walls Comin' strong Hit me! [Verse 1: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir] Man against man just ain't the plan It's time for God's people to take a stand I mean brother to brother, black to white Stand up to the problem and begin to fight Not against each other, you're wastin' time Yo, I'm referrin' to a battle of minds Not through debate or writin' on the walls This kinda action is delayin' the cause An eye for an eye, fight fire with fire It's our turn to take it one step higher Gotta live by example, show brotherly love We're together on Earth, we'll be together above So we're… [Chorus: Choir, TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max] Tearin' down the walls (Come on!) Of segregation Unity abroad New revelation Tearin' down the walls (What walls?) Of segregation Unity abroad (Huh) In every nation [Verse 2: TobyMac & Kevin Max] To label churches by color ain't nothin' but wrong We're in the same crew, we're singin' one song If you're in God's army, that makes you my kin Yo, our common bond is the Father of men Of all attributes that we should possess (Ooh whoa oh) Love is in the word ahead of all the rest (Ooh whoa oh) No negotiation to love a certain nation (Ooh whoa oh) All means all, with no discrimination (Ooh whoa oh) Boy, we can set a precedence the world can cop (Ooh whoa oh) Yo, fellow believer, now's the time to stop (Ooh whoa oh) Racism within our lines (Ooh whoa oh) Today is the time for this love to shine (Ooh whoa oh) So we're… [Chorus: Choir, TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max] Tearin' down the walls (Yeah!) Of segregation Unity abroad New revelation Tearin' down the walls (Hit it!) Oh, of segregation Unity abroad In every nation [Post-Chorus: TobyMac] Talkin' 'bout a revelation So play that gui-guitar [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir, Kevin Max, TobyMac, Kevin Max & Choir] Judge a man by his heart, not color of skin God views a man from what's held within And you're called one o' His, so you gotta know To be Christ-like is the way that you go And my brothers and sisters in one accord Yo, we're the sheep and the shepherd's the Lord So whether black sheep, white sheep, or even swirl God watches over all the sheep of the world So tell me what's up when ya know the command (Ooh whoa oh) The Word's bold, (Two-fold!) "Love your fellow man!" And treat him like you would treat yourself (Ooh whoa oh) Pull brotherly love off ya dusty shelf (Ooh whoa oh) (Huh!) [Chorus: Choir, TobyMac, Michael Tait & Kevin Max] Tearin' down the walls (What walls?) Oh oh, of segregation Unity abroad New revelation Tearin' down the walls Yea-ee-ea-ee-eah Unity abroad (Ooh-ooh ow) We are tearin' down the walls Walls of segregation, people Unity abroad (Ah, yeah) New revelation Tearin' down the walls These walls of segregation, people Unity abroad (Hit it!) In every single nation [Outro: Choir, TobyMac, Kevin Max, Michael Tait] Tearin' down the walls (Yeah, boys, DCT in effect) Of segregation now (Comin' strong) Unity abroad (In the 90s, we're talkin' about) New revelation (Your brother, prayer by DC Talk) Tearin' down the walls (You know what I'm sayin'? That's right, y'all) Walls of segregation, boy (We're rippin' down walls of segregation) Unity abroad (On a day-to-day basis) In every nation (If you're down this movement, come on)
