Turn It Out
Ramiyah Lyrics

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

No you didn't
Expressing disbelief in the idea that someone can dictate her dance moves

Been working hard all week
She has been putting in the effort for the entire week

With everything blowing at me
Busy schedule and stressful situations always coming her way

I need to get some peace
She wants to find some tranquility and serenity amidst the chaos

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

So would you feel my cross and lift my spirit up
Praying to get relief from obstacles and hardships

And how he always does as a token of his love yeah
Grateful for the love and support that she receives from God, who always helps her through tough times

When it seems my world is blowing up
When everything is crumbling around her

I remember he's still the master (when it feels like)
She remembers that she has the support and guidance of her faith even in challenging moments

When I feel I'd rather not wake up
Feeling like not getting up from the bed when feeling down

I remember he's still the father (just keep a)
She is grateful to God for being her father and holding her up, even when things seem bleak

I just keep a praise upon my lips
Always grateful and praising God

Oh lord I thank you (thank you) I love you (love you) adore you (adore you) Hallelujah
Expressing love and gratitude for God's blessings and guidance

You can't tell me how I feel (yeah)
No one can tell her how to feel or express herself

Don't try to judge on how I don't
She does not want anyone to be judgmental about her choices

How I praise is how I praise
She wants to be free to express her worship and praise uniquely

Don't try to tell me how to shout (Don't try to tell me how to shout no)
She does not want anyone to dictate her worship or shouting during praise

I can praise him in a dance (oh)
Dancing is one of the ways through which she expresses her praise of god

I can praise him in a song
Singing is another way through which she expresses her praise of god

Every chance I get to praise
She feels a need to always praise God whenever she can

I'm gonna turn it turn it out
She wants to be free to let her praise and worship show through her dance moves and be praised fully

I have a right to praise
Her faith gives her the right to express her worship and praise to god the way she feels fit

As much as anyone living today
She believes everyone has the right to express their worship and praise to god in whatever way they see fit

I'm gonna celebrate
She is always looking for reasons to be grateful and celebrate the blessings in her life

You better move on out my way
She won't let anyone get in the way of her expressing her faith and worship

He's given life to me
She is grateful to God for the gift of life and being alive to express her faith and worship

And that more abundantly
She feels like she is given more as she continues to express her faith and worship towards God

I must respectfully
She knows it's important to be respectful when showing reverence to God

Show him what he means oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Through her worship and praise, she wants to honor and acknowledge the significance of God in her life

Sometimes I'm just glad (glad) that I made it through the day
Sometimes surviving the day is enough to be grateful for

Sometimes I wanna thank him for the blessing yesterday
She is grateful not only for getting through the day but also for the good things from previous days

Sometimes I just thank him 'cause I can (i can) can
She expresses her faith and gratitude to God whenever she feels like it, simply because she can

Now I bless the lord at all times
She sets aside times to bless and praise the lord at every opportunity

And praise him from this mouth of mine
She wants to use her voice to actively express her gratitude and faith in God

You feeling like you wanna
If anyone is feeling like they want a way to express themselves

Well get your praise on
They should get up and express their faith in the way they see fit

Baby don't front
There is no need to hesitate or be unsure about expressing one's faith

Uh you got your mind on lock
She is telling people to focus on showing their faith and, not to limit themselves or their worship or praise.

So keep your focus person don't you stop
She is encouraging people to stay focused and push through any doubts or limits they feel while expressing their faith

Your life ain't nobody trying to live it
She believes people should do what feels best for them and their faith, not what others want them to do

Talking about the smoke when the heat ain't with it
People might talk but they will not understand the essence of one's faith, tend to focus on superficial aspects

Ain't nobody coming with the water to try take the fire out
Even if people try to take the excitement/fervor out of one's faith, nobody can strip anyone of their beliefs once they're deeply rooted

With the lord
She believes that her faith and worship are what gives her strength and perseverance in challenging times

So back off
She tells anyone who tries to question or change her faith and how she expresses it to stay away

It's time to jump
She wants everyone to take that leap of faith, let go of any doubts or fears and to express their faith with full confidence.

[Chorus: x3]
Repeated chorus emphasizes self-expression and the freedom to worship in whatever way one likes
