Something
Jd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

King David was waiting at Jerusalem for the return of the ark of the Lord
And his wife said, listen king, maintain your dignity because you're not on the farm anymore
Well, about that time the ark came around the corner
Well, I can't help myself, they heard old David cry

Well, somebody hold my coat
And he jumped out in the road and he danced before the Lord with all his might
Well, I'm about to do something Pentecostal
Well, you might not want to be standing next to me

I might dance and run, I might even talk in tongues
Brother, I might just decide to do all three
You see, Jesus, he put his spirit in me
And that hallelujah feeling goes running up and down my spine
Oh, don't you worry about me or anything you might see
It's the Holy Ghost and everything's all right

Some people claim they don't believe in shouting
Well, it's all just emotion, that's what they claim
But if that's what they believe, then somebody tell me please
why do they scream so loud about a football game
Well, I'm not going to let that other crowd out do me
Because I love the Lord and of him I'm not ashamed
And if you can't help me out, then excuse me while I shout
And I lift my hands and praise his holy name

Well, I'm about to do something Pentecostal
Well, you might not want to be standing next to me
I might dance and run, I might even talk in tongues
Brother, I might just decide to do all three
You see, Jesus, well He put this Spirit in me
And that hallelujah feeling goes running up and down my spine
Oh, don't you worry about me or anything you might see
It's the Holy Ghost and everything's all right





Don't you worry about me or anything you might see
It's the Holy Ghost and everything's all right

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of JD's song "Something" convey a powerful message about expressing one's faith and devotion to the divine. The song starts off by referencing King David eagerly awaiting the return of the ark of the Lord in Jerusalem. When the ark finally arrives, David is so overwhelmed with joy and reverence that he cannot contain his emotions. This moment is symbolic of letting go of inhibitions and outwardly showing one's love for God without reservation.


The singer describes how David's wife urges him to maintain his dignity, reminding him that he is no longer a simple farmer. However, David is so filled with spiritual fervor that he cannot help himself but to dance before the Lord with all his might. This act of uninhibited worship is described as something "Pentecostal," a reference to the intense and emotional worship often associated with Pentecostal Christianity.


As the lyrics progress, the singer emphasizes the profound connection to the divine and the inner conviction that moves through the believer. There is a sense of liberation and freedom in expressing one's faith through actions like dancing, running, speaking in tongues, and praising God with exuberance. The mention of the Holy Spirit moving through the believer's body conveys a visceral experience of spirituality that transcends earthly constraints.


The song challenges those who may question or dismiss such outward displays of faith, contrasting it with the passion and exuberance often seen in secular pursuits such as sports. The singer asserts that their devotion to God is unwavering, unashamed, and worth celebrating with unrestrained joy. The repetition of the refrain "It's the Holy Ghost and everything's all right" serves as a reassurance and affirmation of the believer's faith and the transformative power of spiritual connection. Overall, the lyrics of "Something" celebrate the depth of spiritual experience and the unbridled joy that comes from surrendering to the divine presence.
