I knew this dude/He was very cool

He used 2 rule/Until he went 2 school



Not a normal school/That breeds a fool

But the ones that teaches/Men aren't fit to rule



That's when he took his pearly crown/He raised it up and spun it 'round

And tossed in2 the deep blue underground



No longer lead by the ways of men/He looked 4 the kingdom deep within

That's when the drums in his head began 2 pound



Don't let nobody bring u down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now/Join the party, make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring u down/The Everlasting Now



Now turn the page, at an early age

This brutha on stage, he was all the rage

He taught an integrated world 2 sing

The color u are don't mean a thing

Everybody's a star all the everyday people sang



He changed the funk, put it in a bag

Then he changed the colors of the flag

But u can't teach a dog new tricks if his tail don't wag

Don't know matter how much money u made

All the cars u got and all the women u laid

Mess with the flag and 2 them u're still a spade



Don't let nobody bring u down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now

Join the party, make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring u down

The Everlasting Now



See this girl in her make-believe world/Plastic boobs and clip-on curls

'Round the pole see her big butt twirl/There r the dreams that do unfurl

Never everlasting



Don't let anybody bring u down/The Everlasting Now



Watch that girl in her make-believe world

Plastic boobs and clip-on curls

'Round the pole see her big butt twirl

Electric beaches skin do bake

Vanilla fudge and wedding cake

If u should die b4 u wake

U got any last requests 2 make?



The Everlasting Now/The Everlasting Now/The Everlasting Now



Johnny, B. Well and bring the beat



From this day forward 'til times indefinite, those who love Christ r the

ones who benefit. All the players' ice melted in2 one platinum chain and in

a downward spiral it dropped down the chain.



"U know, this is funky but I wish he'd play like he used 2, old

scragglyhead."



Don't let nobody bring u down

Accurate knowledge of Christ and the Father

Will bring the Everlasting Now

Join the party, come on make a sound

Share the truth, preach the good news

Don't let nobody bring u down

The Everlasting Now



The Everlasting Now/The Everlasting Now

The Everlasting Now/Now, now, now

The Everlasting Now
