Turn Out The Lights
J. Brown Lyrics

But how you goin' tell me how to dance yo
Don't try to tell me how to express myself through dance

No you didn't
I won't tolerate anyone telling me how to live my life

Been working hard all week
I've had a tough week and I need to find some peace

With everything blowing at me
I've had a lot of problems and challenges to face

I need to get some peace
I want to find inner peace and clarity

So I go down on my knees
I pray to God for guidance and strength

So would you feel my cross and lift my spirit up
I ask God to help me overcome my struggles and renew my faith in Him

And how he always does as a token of his love yeah
I trust that God will always show me love and support in times of need

When it seems my world is blowing up
When my life feels chaotic and out of control

I remember he's still the master (when it feels like)
I remind myself that God is still in control, even when things feel overwhelming

When I feel I'd rather not wake up
When I feel hopeless or discouraged

I remember he's still the father (just keep a)
I remember that God is my loving father who will never abandon me

I just keep a praise upon my lips
I choose to express gratitude and reverence for God in all situations

Oh lord I thank you (thank you) I love you (love you) adore you (adore you)
I express my deep appreciation, love, and admiration for God

Hallelujah
I shout praises to God in celebration and worship

You can't tell me how I feel (yeah)
No one has the right to dictate how I express my emotions

Don't try to judge on how I don't
I won't accept criticism or negativity about how I express my faith

How I praise is how I praise
I choose to worship God in the way that feels most authentic and meaningful to me

Don't try to tell me how to shout
I won't tolerate anyone telling me how to express my joy and gratitude to God

(Don't try to tell me how to shout no)
I won't allow anyone to stifle my expression of faith

I can praise him in a dance (oh)
I express my faith through dance and movement

I can praise him in a song
I express my faith through singing and music

Every chance I get to praise
I look for opportunities to worship and give thanks to God

I'm gonna turn it turn it out
I'm going to give my all and truly celebrate my faith

I have a right to praise
I have the freedom and ability to worship and express my faith

As much as anyone living today
My right to worship is equal to anyone else's, regardless of their beliefs or background

I'm gonna celebrate
I will joyfully celebrate my faith and God's blessings in my life

You better move on out my way
I won't let anyone hinder or discourage me from expressing my faith

He's given life to me
I am grateful for the gift of life and the love and grace of God

And that more abundantly
I am blessed with abundance and prosperity by the grace of God

I must respectfully
I approach God with reverence and humility

Show him what he means oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I express my love, gratitude, and devotion to God through how I live my life

(Sometimes) sometimes I'm just glad (glad) that I made it through the day
Sometimes I am simply grateful for making it through difficult times and challenges

(Whoa sometimes yeah)
I acknowledge that life can be tough, but I find strength and hope through my faith

Sometimes I wanna thank him for the blessing yesterday
Sometimes I reflect on past blessings and achievements, and how God has been a part of them

Sometimes I just thank him 'cause I can (i can) can
Sometimes I express my gratitude to God simply because I have the ability and freedom to do so

Now I bless the lord at all times
I choose to praise and bless God in all situations and circumstances

And praise him from this mouth of mine
I use my voice and actions to express my worship and gratitude to God

You feeling like you wanna
If you also feel the desire to worship and express your faith...

Well get your praise on
...then go ahead and worship with all your heart and soul

Baby don't front
Don't hold back or be hesitant to worship and praise God

Uh you got your mind on lock
You have mental and emotional stability, and can choose to worship without fear or hesitation

So keep your focus person don't you stop
Stay focused on your faith and don't let anyone or anything distract you

Your life ain't nobody trying to live it
Your life is uniquely yours and no one else can tell you how to live it

Talking about the smoke when the heat ain't with it
Don't get caught up in superficial distractions or drama when your faith is what really matters

Ain't nobody coming with the water to try take the fire out
No one can dampen your faith or extinguish your passion when it comes to worshiping God

With the lord
God is with you and will always support and sustain you

So back off
Anyone who tries to harshly judge or criticize your faith should be ignored or avoided

It's time to jump
Now is the time to fully express your faith and worship with passion and joy

[Chorus: x3]
The chorus reaffirms the rapper's freedom and right to worship and express his faith, and encourages others to do the same
