Turn It Up
Four Kornerz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you smell what the boys are cooking?
We put the funk in when no one was looking
Come and get it, its hot ladies and gentlemen
We wanna see you sweat that adrenaline
Ready or not yes we came to rock
We wanna make you bounce, we don't to stop
Ready or not yes we came to rock
We wanna make you bounce, we don't to stop

Yeah, yeah yeah…
Take me up high
I want to go high!
Take me up high
I want to go high!

Turn it up
We're gonna take it higher
Party people lets take this higher

Turn it up

I don't know How God could love me
Even when I did him greasy
I know I take Him or granted
Only ever call Him whenever we need him
Like when I couldn't take the drama
When I couldn't take it no more
Situation tried to turn me out
Kind of thing that made me want to shout
But now the stone's been rolled away
Got my funk back, now its gonna stay
Storm is over mind frame is positive
God has blessed me don't need a sedative
So people in the place to be
Lift your hands where I can see
So party people in the place to be
I want to see our hands high where I can see

Yeah, yeah yeah…
Take me up high
I want to go high!
Take me up high
I want to go high!

Turn it up




We're gonna take it higher
Party people lets take this higher
